Just a cut and paste of an old article I wrote along these lines though it was specific to an example custom built rail gun . Rather than bump a 5 year old posting. A custom single-shot rail gun sniper rifle that does 1D6x10 MD is not likely to be nearly impossible to make. However, its single-shot...

The current situation as listed seems to be a campaign/adventure(s) set in Kingsdale doing counter-espionage in an urban setting with what sounds like a jump-into-action (rather than planning) / hack-n-slash style of approach .

There are two more healing power tattoos in Rifter 52. However each has its own limits on availability and usage . Heart (Regeneration) [R52p54] Bio-Regeneration - decent MDC bio-regen (or SDC if not MDC) in terms of MDC / PPE. Continues to function below 0 "much like a vampire" (= simply...

Yeah there is a lot of decent healing magic out there....especially if you get into the more esoteric branches of magic .... but that doesn't help the T-Man. Actually a Draught of Health container even in its most basic form is extremely plausible. Ironically a T-Man would likely be amongst one of ...

Side Note 1: Draught of Health - Nazcan Line Magic (W9:SA2) (or functional equivalent/variant) on an MDC (or even indestructible) 'shot glass'. Basic PPE to MDC healing ratio is fairly high (and should be continuously re-usable by any/all in need with PPE expenditure). Once created should be functio...

In Rifts there are Bio-Wizards who can make a wide variety of Entity Powered Items . Items are listed in World Book 21:Splynn and the Book of Magic.

Keep in mind that there are effectively many options via #10 . However each would simply require plausible appropriateness . - all of the available types have one or more variant OCC versions . As long as its appropriate then that version is viable. -- Examples: - A part Russian one could easily jus...

My rule of thumb for most things is "Cost in credits is equal to the cost of a comparable item in American dollars at the time of the question." So, a loaf of bread runs a couple dollars (less for cheap stuff, obviously), and a pick up runs about 30,000cr, and will go about 400 miles on 6...

Based upon what folks have seemed interested in so far for such a variant it would essentially be the miniatures version of the simplified Rifts variant of the short lived Rifts Collectible Card Game. So obscure it can be annoying to even google enough relevant information.
