but the comparison misses that the mage will know where you are. Unlike an actual box where you could be anywhere inside, the pilot is usually in one place. So is seeing knowing? Just to be clear you are saying that a 6' PA suit with a 6" pilot will be unaffected by certain spells

KillWatch

I always thought is was a mobility issue,... but now it sounds stupid

KillWatch

I agree,... but at what point is that no longer true? How big can XO's be before they are considered PAs?

KillWatch

except that completely enclosed is completely enclosed and unseen is still unseen

KillWatch

no your post was fitting

KillWatch

It seems to be very much more different than that, but I can only comment on the changes you've stated. -Very different is subjective. If you hate the system you will see it. If you love the system you won't Well, when comparing systems, yes. One tends to use the most modern version available. The m...

KillWatch

That's part of the thing. Killwatch's system isn't a little house-rulesy. -I will agree its very house rulesy It's an entire other 'system'. It's nto ATB. It's... Killwatch's critters or something. -Its about as different as ATB is from TMNT He doesn't use the most modern book -You say that like its...

And I am going to have to argue against slade for siding with me. No sane man would do such a thing

KillWatch

Well now that's the problem isn't it? If you're going by dice rolls and you have a physically active mouse with a lot of strength boosting skills and a tiger without it's entirely possible for the mouse to have a PS equal to or greater than a tiger, something quite non-reflective of the animals diff...

KillWatch

Strength is strength. A mouse won't have the strength of a tiger. It doesn't have a bonus to strength. The added types of strength are pointless. How about the actual Stat being HIGHER reflecting that it is just that much stronger? OMG I KNOW squirrels can't fly,. I said I would ALLOW it. Bats didn'...

KillWatch

what "options" are you talking about that you enjoy so much? And I really haven't seen what you disapprove of specifically about what I wrote. And I am not sure how it is more complex; EVERYONE has 150 bio-e to spend EVERYONE starts at SL 0 EVERYONE starts at base animal ONE strength categ...

I know I have the revised edition that has the "what no guy with the s on his shirt" section. I guess I never saw the need for a megahero. I played with the tools I had, broke them and made new ones. If I needed a superman what did I need to do and how could I get there? and made it happen...

KillWatch

I don't see how high stats takes away from a thinking man's game. If the Gm can't think around it then it wouldn't have been a thinking man's game anyhow. OOOh I'm Hulk I smash I have PS 500 I destroy things Oh well I am Justice, I have telekinesis and can lift 1 ton with my mind. How much do you we...

I learned the new stuff and still think its a waste of time Vestigal=crap Different strengths=crap and I don't have the book with me so look forward to a more in depth analysis later I might have a different way I want the game to go but I don't see how I am limiting. One of my players favorite NPCs...

which I did, and it worked out fine; 1-9=x5 (5-45) 10-15=x10 (100-150) 16-30=x20 (320-600) 31-40=x50 (1550-2000/1t) 41-50=x100 (4100/2t-5000/2t) 51-60=x200 (10200/5t-12000/6t) 61-75=x500 (30500/15t-37500/19t) 76-100=x1000 (76000/38t-100,000/50t) 50 tons x 2 = 100tons 101-250=x2000 251-300=x5000 301-...

KillWatch

because it is basically the same as TMNT and the changes I don't care for, primarily new strength categories. I have all the old books. I cn make timelords, mutant dinosaurs, super mutant animals(if I were to do so) so I don't see the new book as "better". Better art perhaps but lacking in...

KillWatch

But we are talking about villains, and evil. Not villains who are selfish just looking to make some quick cash by robbing people. Evil likes hurting people, for the goal of hurting people. Doing it as an accident or out of necessity or vengeance are all ulterior motives to hurting people. Evil's onl...

Iczer: I like your style. Good villain

KillWatch

My solution to the TMNT power problem is this; A) Attribute bonuses: Multiply by 5, +2=+10 B) Bio-E: Most animals have a total point value of 75 points starting at SL 0. I give them 150 points + 5 per level C) If they have a bonus to an att I remove any cap to that att D) I allow stacking of powers,...

KillWatch

I would rule not. They are not living creatures and therefore it is the same as casting a spell on a lamp

KillWatch

I don't do measured encounters. They deserve to stomp some baddies, but they had better learn to run from others. Use your players backgrounds: family/friends can get kidnapped, married, get involved in abusive relationships, etc Look at their adventures? Who has an axe to grind? What have they done...

Saurvon Good on ya

sniper says what?

I think once would have been good. Twice with a stern warning. And why did the other players allow it?

KillWatch

It is a lovely map.

KillWatch

saw it loved it can't use it. need BW

KillWatch

Hey guys I have been scouring the web for a suitable map and haven't found it yet. Is thee a palladium world map that doesn't have borders, or labels? preferably BW

KillWatch

ok you can tell him how distracting it is and that you would like it to stop, with no expectation of a result on his part. Be willing to leave If he is unwilling to compromise. But you can't tell him how to raise his kids.

KillWatch

Some are OCCs and others are RCCs

KillWatch

wow all of these scenarios could be handled with a decent GM who is willing to spank -oh so you can't be hurt? By anything? You sound like an excellent suit of armor for a possessing entity. Also I hope you like being level 1,... forever. And you are part of a pantheon? So you are godlike? Which mea...

I think in Rifts it should be very costly. You help the wrong person and you got a death sentence from the coalition

"I have a player that used to try an wreck every campaign just because he could."
See what you do here is violate them with a rabid chicken named razor beak. Meanwhile everyone else pretends nothing out of the ordinary is happening each time the douche moon rises

Do shark, with bat sonar

KillWatch

A) Stack the experience tables
B) No new skills. You get the skills at the beginning because that is what you have learned in your entire life up until then. Unless they are taking a decade off or so

KillWatch

Favors is a good way to go. The higher or more useful the spell the bigger the favors
otherwise you could just (lvl+spell cost) x 10,000. Add a zero or three if you like

A) as stated in the book there is always a chance for failure
B) I'm with you. Have you read some of the other posts?

No absolutely not, I have a spot skill that contests it. But that is what is being presented here. The precedent is Concealment v Detect Concealment. Something is hidden, someone searches for it. A locksmith builds a lock, a thief tries to pick it. A computer programmer tries to set up security and ...

KillWatch

a) So I need the RUE to play HU PF N&SS TMNT well really anything else? b) so then address what is "normal" duress vs penalized duress? All of these penalties are what would be defined as duress. Which makes me wonder why they exist if the only time I am supposed to roll IS under dures...

KillWatch

but is that in the rules? where is the list of applied penalties? And isn't the actual roll a roll under duress? and if so then the roll itself is applied penalties

KillWatch

so a guy with a prowl of 98 can take out an entire army? because if they make it they are almost better than invisible. Scratch that,... better than invisibility because at least you can counter invisibility with see invisible

we kind already had this discussion. I don't remember the conclusion but i think that's because the answer for me was lacking. But it was one of my topics I believe
