Mainly, I'd toss out the ENTIRE Tolkien war as... well, I found it quite poor and the ending farcical to say the least [the number of logical inconsistencies is mindboggling IMO]. Minor issues would be removing high tech illiteracy. That and I'd update equipment to not be based a particular time per...

The spell has a range of touch to cast the spell, but do you have to touch the flame to activate it? No. If this was the case, you'd take damage [it bursts out 2']. Can you say... put it in a cardboard box, toss the box into a hayloft, then walk away and activate it at your leisure or just wait for...

Just because they have a higher instance of psionics doesn't mean they have more psionic power. So in the absence of any specific difference, I would assume they would have the same number of powers and amount of ISP as any minor, major or master psionic. They give out a narrow list of set powers i...

Dinosaur People from the CS manhunters book have a 50% chance of psionics and a specialized list that doesn't conform to the normal random roll of minor-major psionics so I was wondering if anyone might know what ISP they should have? Or what their save vs psionics is?

I would think the addition of "new" would be enough to alleviate any confusion between the recently released Palladium book and one that was released in 1994 by Myrmidon Press.

On the second point, it's a little visually misleading because it's a new paragraph after a page break, but the 4/30 min rate seems to be specifically for the Mystic and other similar hybrid OCC/RCCs. I'm referring to the Master psychic above the Mystic entry. The Mystic entry is for "Mystics,...

In the new book they 'Revisited & Clarified' meditation as a skill and a psionic power. great so for... So I'm looking through the skill part and it goes into how it works for those with PPE, ISP and even those without both. Which leads to my question. It's a skill but they don't give it a categ...

Hey, all was wondering do bonuses to physical strength a character can get from skills carry over to when they are transformed or do they only apply their default form? I'm looking at my 1st edition of Heroes Unlimited Revised. On page 174, both APS Metal and Stone say the physical strength is also...

There are now literal mega-cities in the world. Fewer lights than before the cataclysm does not mean no lights. There's plenty of locations as the setting continues to show more and more places of cities (instead of mostly wilderness as originally portrayed in the setting). no there aren't. there's...

I was looking at the Con Man OCC and under OCC bonuses it has "+ 1D4+2 + 1 to save vs psionic and magical mind control and illusions,". Anyone know what the +1d4+2 was to as it seems like the type of bonus got lost before the +1 to saves.

#1 Aztlanolagians, pg#18, do not list ISP to roll. What number should I roll for them? #2 their PB is listed as d6. Is this an error? I'm looking at Horune (2d6) and naut'yll (2d6) and I'm wondering how the Aztlanolagians are 1/2 as pretty as these two races? And they are as 'pretty' as Xiticix? Eve...

Regardless of whether or not the Facade regenerates, you can easily transform to Morphus, heal up, and then revert to Facade free of injury (except, it seems, for severed limbs). So, Psychic Surgery is generally of little benefit to a Nightbane unless the character is for some reason unable to tran...

Moot point if the entry uses the words, "True Atlantean," which specifically signifies the original inhabitants who produce Undead Slayers. It doesn't. D-bee's of NA says they are a 'human or human-like race' taken over by the splugorth. The helmet quote was indeed meant as the generic 'A...

The higher damage drills fit in fine for larger drills. Some of the two handed drills would indeed do the 2d6 or 3d6. (Having used them, there should be some hefty minuses to attack) In After the bomb, some of the bigger mutants could use those heavier drills with little problem though. See, I look ...

elecgraystone

I know what you are saying macksting. Stats would be nice, but I picked the tools in the multi-tool arm, figuring none could be HUGE items and all did SDC damage. If nothing else they should give you a rough base on damage. And being cautious is fine. If a GM wants to limit the power more than it ac...

Please find me the Palladium combat stats of the electric drill. As an After the Bomb GM, I'm very interested in the damage and statistics of improvised weaponry. Just look at the various tool appendages in the bionics source book. I've got chainsaw (d6X10), circular saw(1d4X10), small drill(1-3d6)...

elecgraystone

A chainsaw and a drill do damage and can be used in combat. Neither is a combat item. They can be used already. What's to stop you from making a flash pack and creating blinding light? A siren loud enough to deafen? Nothing as far as I can tell. Neither is an energy blast, the ONLY limit given for t...

true, this power lets you go past making your finger into a dagger like shape, you actually turn your finger into metal. you can even go so far as making the dagger twist, but that doesn't mean you have made the soft iron core wrapped in very fine copper wire on an axis, moving around several elect...

To macksting, I'm curious how it's beyond canon. All canon says is that I can't fire energy bolts. So unless a taser fires energy bolts, it's not breaking canon. I don't even see why you'd need the EE:electricity to do it. To Herald of Shadow, it could have said power tools to cover it generically. ...

Unless your GM rules otherwise, No, the fencing damage does not add to MD attacks because it only adds +1d6 sd to any attack. You must have a different RUE than mine. The one I have just says +d6 sword damage and doesn't exclude MD. Is that your opinion or do you have something in the RUE to back i...

*shrug* The passage seemed to be enough for whoever made the FAQ. I happen to agree with it. If you don't, feel free to ask it again in the Q&A section.

elecgraystone

*shrug* I'm just pointing out what the FAQ on this site says. I thought it did before I saw the FAQ myself. If it excluded adding the extra d6 from MDC damage, it should say so when it makes a point to say that swords can do either SDC or MDC damage. Since it didn't make the exclusion, I'd say it ad...

The melee combat FAQ said this.

"Question: Fencing in RUE: Does the +1d6 damage with swords and knives apply to just sdc weapons or both sdc and mdc(ie vibro weapons and psi-swords)?

Answer: According to RUE, page 326, it applies to both SDC and MDC."

elecgraystone

I split them into the two skills and let them take both. It's not like it game breaking.

elecgraystone

True, but that doesn't help when you're the one of the GM's. If the two of us were in a game together, one of us would be thinking the other person was doing it wrong. With no clear guidelines what's in or out, you are just asking for conflicts. I don't mind houserules (it's hard to play palladium w...

I'd really like such a list. If they are going to say some powers do not stack it's not too much to ask that they point out which ones they mean.

elecgraystone

It is an Alteration power because it allows you to alter what you are doing with your body. The crawling eye trick for example... My point is that it is that if bio-armor belongs, so does Anatomical Independance. By that explanation almost EVERY power is an APS. Super senses ALTER how you body take...

elecgraystone

I can't comment about PU2 since I haven't been able to get that book yet. As to the rifter number, I'll look it up when I get home. I don't remember the issue offhand. I know what you mean with the limited part. I've always thought other games had a much better way to make characters. Marvel's FASER...

elecgraystone

LOL I've looked at BOTH lists. All of them actually change the body. (except bio-armor. Never understood why it's one) Stretching actually alters the body, limbs stretch. Anatomical Independance doesn't, all funtions of your body remain the same with it as if the part was still attached. It doesn't...

elecgraystone

LOL If you allow mega-heroes, I don't see any problem with the rifter options. While you'd have just about the ultimate in utility, you wouldn't match the raw power of a normal mega.

It can be if you take the mega-hero options from rifter. Hardware: Analytic class/mutant with alter limbs. Sweet!

elecgraystone

I'd honestly like you to say why you think this would be an APS power (No, I'm not looking for 5 pages). I don't see that at all. To me the most logical way to explain it would be as I said. The power creates small gateways keeping the limbs attached. IMO anything else doesn't explain the blood stil...

elecgraystone

Which would be only limited by the skill and imagination of the person using it.

elecgraystone

It does not have to be an APS power, as long as it is altering the body. Your theory on Anatomical Independance is debatable at best. Actually, yes it would have to be a APS power. looking at pg#74 like you said it states "Two powers that alter the character's physical structure can not be use...

elecgraystone

LOL I don't need to know HOW a supernatural PS does MDC damage, I just know it can. If I had to guess I'm pretty sure it's not an aura since I can find plenty of plain old D-bees that have it. If it was just limited to supernatural creatures and creatures of magic maybe a 'magic aura' would work, bu...

That's why is seems unfair to remove the boxing attack from shooting a gun since all of your attacks are based on how good your HTH skills are. (IE how good you are at punching someone) It seems to me boxing and HTH are kind of a package deal. If you leave HTH affect shooting a gun, boxing should st...

elecgraystone

That doesn't work however. A Psi-Nullifer could put PPE/ISP into a weapon without problem, but could never get one to work. See, the TW weapon is what's casting the spell/attack, NOT the Psi-Nullifer. He can't make the TW weapon choice to spend more PPE/ISP on the spell so he involuntarily nullifys ...

elecgraystone

The way it's written, it's ANY magic or psionic. It seems that even a TK acceleration attack would work. Now, personally, I agree with Gadrin that physical attack shouldn't hurt intangible people. Looking at immune to magic and the immune to psionic minor super powers, sometimes they do differentiat...

Killer Cyborg wrote: Makes sense, as long as you do the same for HTH Combat in general.

Agreed. You have to take away all those pesky attacks from your HTH skill too. Or does "Oh, martial arts teaches me how to shoot a gun faster" make you pull out less hair?

LOL There are ways around the alignment issue. Some classes/races let you take it without any restrictions and your alignment can always change after you learned it. One easy way is to simply get an insanity. Reborn is the easy way to have a good person with assassin.

As you said, it does not matter. The main question is how complex you can get, not if it can be done at all. As noted before, the human body can produce limited levels of electricity and even some forms of conductors and semi-conductors...it is the level of complexity that was questionable. #1 the ...

elecgraystone

You would be 100% correct if anatomical independence was an APS. It's doesn't alter the physical structure of the body at all. All functions are 100% the same and nothing is changed about the things removed. It's some kind of freaky gateway/teleportation power since blood still flows though the part...

elecgraystone

You didn't throw boxing into your equation. If you do that you'll see HTH assassin is ahead of archery until 12 were they tie and 14th were it pulls ahead for one level before they tie again at 15th. Of course this only applies if you have the RUE and are using the new archery skill. If you use the ...
