I'll give you that...

Shadyslug

They are not a specialized for of Techno-Wizard at all. They Create magical items by imbueing it with properties inherent in specialized metals and using their own PPE to enhance the item due to their link with the Russian God of Smithing. I agree that to limit them to just what is in the book limi...

Consider that the creation of many of the Kaznya's objects require certain spells...just like a TW needs to possess certain spell knowledge to create magical objects. That alone infers that the process to create magical objects has as much to do the Kaznya process of creation as it does the magic be...

Shadyslug

I think that to limit them to just what is in the book is a crime. They are a specialized form of TW...and as such, they are only limited by their own creativity.

I joined a group once that was composed of a dragon hatchling, an undead slayer, and a munchkin who bent/broke all kinds of rules to gain power, like bringing a lancer type cyclone into rifts and then putting the silverhawk contra-gravity unit on it and giving it the vindicator's EU-11 (I think it's...

I've never subscribed to a particular kind of PC. More often than not, I pick my PC based on what everyone else is playing.

I tend to gravitate towards non-tech types though...

One of my favorites was the Kaznya. And I played an Adorak once...which was a hoot.

I had a Mind Melter whose Psi-Sword manifested as a 3 foot long 2"x4" with a giant nail driven though the end...

How would I kill Prosek?

I'd get him a membership to Sound Off and force him to debate free will and politics...

Then...after a few days...I'd casually hand him a sharp knife and roll up his sleeve. He'd take care of the rest...

Mounted on the boat...

Vamp'Borg...the undead oil sucker...

One of my favorite NPC's was a Wolfen fallen CK with a whip as his cosmic weapon. He just coverted into a headhunter...essentially a gun for hire...

Can't say that the PC's in my group were all that happy about him...he would turn up at the most inconvenient of times...

Shadyslug

I could never bring myself to pay that much for dice...

Shadyslug

Maybe they're just meant to be a deterrent? I mean...like a mechanism to try to keep the CS in a bit of "check."

Many posts have stated that tanks would be simpler than robots. What makes you think this? How a robot works is a black box to us. It might be very simple and easily repaired. Maybe however those giant limbs are worked is an ulta efficient and fast artifical muscle. Muscles wouldn't work very well ...

The borg starts off better than a juicer. Borg capable of inflicting MD damage with no weapons. Juicer can dance. Borg starts off as an MDC being. Juicer can dance. Sure...with no weapons the Juicer can dance, but a few solid punches from the Borg and the Juicer is red slime. The only way the Juicer...

Tanks being complimented by PA would probably end up being fairly effective. Maybe even more so than PA with Robots.

But...Robots are plain cool...yet, I think winning is cool as well...

Shadyslug

Tanks are cheaper to manufacture. They can also be equipped with greater armor (a reality that is not reflected in the game world).

Overall...robots are neat and can do more because they're more versatile. But tanks are a more efficient tool due to cost and complexity.

Shadyslug

Think of the earth as a giant koi pond and the supernatural creatures are cranes.

Shadyslug

Okay, the borg is a torso who managed to get his arms and legs cut off for free, and the juicer is a normal guy looking to get juiced. He waits for the borg to bleed to death from his severed limbs, then goes home. Thanks for your insight. Actually, if the Borg gets his bionics taken away, then the...

Shadyslug

That was pretty cool!

The biggest peeve I had was when everyone got too drunk or stoned to actually play...or when people didn't actually pay attention to what was going on...

I'm sure that there's a wind up laser akin to our wind up flashlights...

Or maybe one that you can shake?

Well...youv'e got the find the phallus of Osiris to resurrect him...but since that part is missing and will never be found, your'e going ot have a hard time getting him to rise up...

This is what I've always done with my groups...

As for the CK's...

I'm a fan...and I don't think they got pushed over the edge into Uber-hero-power levels.

There's plenty of things in the world 'o Rifts that will make them a toothpick...

Okay...each gets $0 credits to outfit themselves...

Now go play test it...

They can't get the eyes because of their ability to regenerate...their body would reject the eyes of eylor...

As for the Maxi-Man...

That seems to go contrary to what they say about Atlanteans...but maybe not...because in a sense, even the Tattoo Magics transform them into MDC creatures...

Shadyslug

Oh...and how about an Adorak...

I've always felt that one way to deal with all this map stuff is to do it yourself. If I had the time, I'd scan all the maps from the books and put them into photoshop, each on a separate layer and never compress the layers. This way, you can select what layers you want for the maps you need at the ...

I've shot myself in the foot.

Chopped off the arm of one of my team mates.

Shot the hostage being used by the kidnapper as a shield.

Impaled myself on a cactus...without armor...

I'm guessing that you folks don't want to hear about how my City Rat with P.S. 11 parried an Abolisher and an Anti-Monster in hand to hand combat...

You must fear the city rat with kung fu +3 parry action.

I'd never get stuck in an elevator for 41 hours...so I dont know how to answer this question...

Okay...by the rules, we get one idea, but apply common sense. Can a juicer actually parry a blow from a SAMAS? Sure...juicer super strong and on drugs... SAMAS powered by servos and hydrolics... How strong does the juicer have to be to match the strength of the SAMAS? How much momentum is generated ...

Get the Predator and have the psi-sword come out of the gun...

At least with an underwater city you can't sink... if a floating city fails, the inhabitants end up on top of the ocean. if a submarine city fails, the inhabitants end up with the ocean on top of them. Personally...I'd rather spring a leak while underwater than while on top of the water...it may no...

Shadyslug

The CS would never allow a native of Psyscape to join their military...period. And I don't think that they'd allow a psychic to learn how to pilot a SAMAS...doesn't make sense from a military standpoint...

I forget, sometimes, that this place isn't SO...

Floating ships with cities on top! It just might work!

"Opps..."

"Opps what?"

"We lost E block. The linkage broke and it's sinking to the bottom of the ocean."

"But...that's the block I live on!!!"

"Sorry. Hope your dog can swim..."

Shadyslug

I understand exactly what you're saying...

I'm just saying that a "floating" anything, no matter how large...is subject to the whims of the ocean...

It's a great idea until something comes along to sink it. We have yet to build something that can't be sunk...
