Going through the spells of the Book of Magic and the spell Throwing Stones is much too powerful for a level 2 spell - but even so it gives an objective damage. While one can guess and argue about what 1 MD actually is, the spell states that it creates a stone that hits with the force of a canon bal...

um,... how is armor not a crutch in those situations? I mean in its function it is a crutch, allowing the wearer to perform actions they wouldn't normally, like a parachute. If a player wants to possibly perform a self sacrificial move im all for it However, it hasn't been an issue of metagaming. Mo...

For us its keeping the characters alive longer, and making the armor more utilitarian. The DR helps with the wear on armor as almost every battle does some serious damage to armor, but that, again is damage not going to the PC

KillWatch

For many years now I've been using armor this way; AR-10/2=DR AR: 16-10=6/2=3=Damage Resistance. Meaning that it subtracts 3 from all damage done to it. Rolling above the AR only means that you are able to damage the armor, otherwise no damage is done Unless someone specifically targets an area that...

Looking for players in the area Playing palladium with some significant house rules I don't care how experienced or how old you are - just be an open minded good person I love and prefer HU and have my own setting with conspiracies and black ops I am currently running PF in the Palladium world with ...

C'mon guys,... Ok, you are going to use art from book to book you have umpteen different kinds of strength for whatever reason I have no idea how to create new spells despite the Mysteries of Magic guidelines You insist on giving us YPM instead of FPS when FPS is more useful in a game of seconds AND...

Regarding Psychic Surgery,... what is preventing me from using it to remove someone's heart, or anything else? It really hasn't come up yet in game, but some day! I had this idea for a villain NPC who is kidnapping mutant women, or women who have produced mutant children and is taking their eggs for...

hey guys... MDC just never made sense to me, but maybe I am missing something. 1) Rifts says that earth had MDC gear before the rifts. So at some point MDC weapons were on a strictly SDC biome world 2) Rifts magic and psionics however, only do MDC because of the Dragon Line environment... -Rune Wea...

1) How fast do magic items recover energy? Is it automatically replenished every day at dawn/dusk/midnight? 2) Are you guys impressed with the power of rune weapons? I mean, sure on one on one battles or vs a small group they are extremely valuable. But, facing an army? The weapons don'e seem so &qu...

has anyone ever done it? A wizard gets the following "PPE": 3d4x10+20+PE+(3d6 per level) Assuming best case scenario; 12x10+20+30+(18x15) = 440,.. at level 15,... 440 is decent,but im not casting restoration or impenetrable wall of force anytime soon, let alone crimson wall How many teenag...

Is the AR Natural or normal?

KillWatch

1) Man was a victim of man. Man caused the problems and I think one reason they don't want people to read is because they might learn the truth, that this is really all their fault. 2) The germans loved hitler because he was vilifying "the other" - mentally retarded, gays and most importan...

SO I have run into more people than I thought I would that defend the coalition and say they are just misunderstood. However, I still note war against other humans, totalitarian state, misinformation propaganda, genocide and imperial aggressive expansion. I kinda feel out of place being completely d...

thanks for clarifying, so i am looking for a compound bow. I didn't see what I was looking for in N&SS or the CMW. I will check the AU

KillWatch

it isn't ancient,... but it isn't a firearm.

where are the stats for a compound bow? ARE there stats?

KillWatch

always? How so? so these have never worked for you; pepper spray, nerve gas, flash/bangs, stun batons, smoke grenades, rope, a bucket of water If your goal is to do damage then yes - you fail If your goal is neutralize, incapacitate or even kill, you have options. If your character is nothing but a ...

spartacus - from Century

KillWatch

May I make a suggestion? Start out in a town NEAR Century. let them be the big badasses in the small ponds for a while, solving normal issues and crimes. Or perhaps the local nuke plant mutated a squirrel and it has become a deadly predator of the night, 10 feet long, with deadly teeth and a penchan...

yes but less "seeder" aliens where everything looks like something from earth
and more Barlow's Guide to the Universe kind of aliens

1) only vulnerable to magic. Psionics can do no damage. Mess with their minds sure, but no damage. 2) here is my write up Other than the nearly complete inability to be physically harmed by anything (drink acid it’s ok a small celestial body crashing down on you, ok, being hit by a mac truck going 1...

everyone?

did they at least get a satisfying death out of him?

KillWatch

what kind of trivia?

and yes I make phantom rolls to freak my players out as well. Keep them guessing.

KillWatch

I so have to draw up butcher pete

KillWatch

yeah. I've looked at it. If I could get a copy somewhere I might adopt some stuff for rifts. Was it a rifts contemporary or a precursor?

KillWatch

well yeah, privately

Has anyone converted any other video games to Palladium?

KillWatch

Has anyone tried to do a Rifts: Fallout edition? It's almost the same timeline and I've already wrote up Killwaukee, and some other settings for it Secondly what about any other post apoc high tech/fantasy settings like He-Man, Thundercats, Thundarr? Sure you would have to scale back a lot of stuff ...

KillWatch

thinking about the MA but what are the rules

KillWatch

So I am thinking about running some palladium games at Gen Con and some more local cons, even Open House.

My question is should this be by the book, keeping away from house rules, or is it pretty open?

KillWatch

share your TPK events so that we may all laugh and enjoy

KillWatch

I open die roll as well. though they might not always know what I am rolling for and sometimes its just to build tension

KillWatch

Oh no,... Poor Tadashi,... he was so,... so brave,... I never got to tell him
Tadashi coming from behind: what's going on
(consumed by grief): its terrible he sacrificed himself to save us, all of us
Oh? who is that?
...Tadashi... (?) wait,.. YOU BASTARD

nightfactory: and that's how you know who the heroes are

sometimes there is a good idea that might add a layer of complexity to the game that might intimidate some GMS or **** off some players

sorry don't get the reference

haven't met any of them.

I never liked calling them deevils. Devils aka fallen angels Demons are quasi gods Anyhow, I am designing a campaign in which Hades wants to take his realm back from these interlopers.

Really? Point blank shots are instant kills

start in vegas with one dam thing.
everyone is in town for a convention or a bounty or a show, what have you and then this happens

KillWatch

yep right into a pylon in a parking garage. I understood that was part of the power and that was a risk. its fine. Don't take the power if you don't want the consequences

didn't know you were bi

that's right,... audit me,... audit ME!

I am all for rules edits. but then it applies to everyone going forward, PCs and NPCs. Otherwise victories and successes is meaningless. You might as well say hey you won role playing good for you and some of the best stories are the ones where the protagonist fails and has to fix something or even ...

KillWatch

I've raised the minimum need to hit to 8, together with the untrained penalty of -2 makes the chance to hit/miss 50/50

KillWatch

nightfactory: at that point it becomes an opportunity how flustered you can make the GM with his own railroading

KillWatch

What are the rules, if any, regarding horror factor, the use of powers and mutations?

it was it was pretty annoying

I have had to revamp the skills. +2 just isn't enough to denote intensive training. That's only +10% and you are done So, I've modified it to be more inline with hand to hand styles and have adopted the three tier system from rifter, and of of course made it my female dog in heat Basic Expert and Ma...

KillWatch

I agree but in heavy combat you are trying to hit as much as possible and aiming for the head isn't the best option

KillWatch

is -2 realistic for a called shot? is it too lenient or too tough?
