Lol...thanks for re-opening a thread that was created like 9 years ago. I was able to completely balance out (still very power) this class for PF. If you want I can give you a list off all spell and class changes. One of the biggest issues I found with the spells is the way that the Blade Mage P.P....

ZEN

The problems that my PFRPG group had with the Blade Mage weren't because of power level (though, yes, they get more skills than the most skilled OCC, more starting money and gear than the richest OCC, more attribute bonuses than the most physical OCC, better Rogue skill starting percentages than th...

Hey guys. When I wrote the Blade Mage, it was designed exclusively for Rifts (with a nod toward Fantasy, but it was designed as an urban character class, possibly handy for Phase world game setting also), however you have to include the fantasy setting in an article as it helps get you published. Li...

Re: Stinky Sweat.. *edited* Repulsive Aura (minor power) "There is no word to describe what that smells like.. its like a kick in my brain face". It's very unusual for a smell, no matter how bad, to cause actual physical harm, however, by a form of bio-manipulation, the character can cause...

Ah, good good, cheers guys

ZEN

The old powers archive is still there, heh, wow, memories..
Maybe I should update it at some point?
Or someone else can, if they are so inclined.

ZEN

From my experience, there is a long wait, but when they do, well, if they do contact you, they are above board and prompt in payment. My advice is the same advice they give everyone, make sure what you send is in a ready to print format.. edit it, make it look as close to what you see in a printed P...

Tactical party composition is vital to designing the right terrain and environmental factors, to better challenge your players and engage them. An agile party which faces a lift platform, surrounded by a moat of upwelling oil from an underground depository, for instance, adds all kinds of interest. ...

Hey great topic The Rifter article I wrote for issue #23, The Blade Mage, talks about the Time of a Thousand Magicks, also, Palladium Fantasy book Island at the Edge of the World provides a living legend, the Life Force Wizard Selsesstissan. Some sort of elemental steam punk is not out of the questi...

OK, this is an interesting question. Looking at what races speak, and which races are the dominant (most numerous speakers), it is clear that Goblin is really more of an Orcish language, a common tongue among the goblinoid races, but there must surely be a lot of dialects, as they are generally trib...

Could Wolfsgrin or anyone else who has a copy of the powers from the Heroes Ltd achive pass them on to Stone Gargoyle for me.

Thanks

Good idea. This means a specialist character could be developed, with abilities of one specific type, but a much greater scope, because it is the entire focus of the powers the character has. While they might not have the variety, they make up for it with being better at their one thing. I can think...

ZEN

Mutants and Masterminds is a good option, although you may want to adopt a more traditional damage system at first. Once the players get used to the idea of saving throws to resist damage, and that successive attacks diminish the ability to resist harm (meaning even weaker mobs can whittle them down...

ZEN

working on? Iczer probably posts as he creates these powers.
I know I do anyway.

And yeah, if you feel like formating any of the concepts I add in here, feel free Iczer, I'd love to see your spin on them.

ZEN

More fun with reality.. This idea is simple. The character can concentrate on an object or area in close proximity, normally extending a hand and repeating a desired outcome over and over again will trigger the power. The character wills the object into a desired state, and is capable of seemingly a...

ZEN

Speed of Light is a great power. I can see it could be easily modified to suit.. swap the energy type absorbed and the stats influenced by it. You could even have the character absorb mass and convert it to density and endurance (increasing invulnerability). The character could have a version which ...

ZEN

On a similar vein... How about a minor power that allows the character to see alternate versions of reality? Applications could include the power to see events just before or after they happen (post and pre cognition) and see alternate courses of action, to judge a possible best case scenario. This ...

Tyciol, why are you dredging for old threads?

Hey NMI, did you want the zip file of all the old Heroes Ltd power listings?

ZEN

Has anyone come up with a minor power that reduces the mass of an object? The maximum limit should be set so that a character can't lift any more than someone with a strength enhancing power granted by another minor power.. in fact, it should be considerably less. The object would not suffer a lot o...

ZEN

Hey Gargoyle, I think the lamination effect rendering objects immune to cold is a bit much, otherwise, very funky power.

ZEN

Hi wolfsgrin. Sorry to disrupt the thread, so to make up for it.. Inanimate. 'For two days I was a poster at Palladium... no, no, a real poster!' The character has the ability to change the physical form of a humanoid being into that of an inanimate object, reducing the size and mass of the target. ...

ZEN

Suicide (minor) 'You can not kill that which does not live!' The character has the ability to die at will, the body ceases to function and is, really, completely dead. While dead, the character is totally unaware of anything going on around the body, although there is, somehow, an accurate sense of...

Bwahahahahahahahaha!

Thor.

There is only one question though.

Just how far could Thor send her flying with a full swing of his hammer?
Would she even remain intact, or would it rain red for a second somewhere on the other side of the planet, a few hours later?

In the case of Cold forged Iron laced or encased depleted or rich uranium rounds, the invulnerability applies to the uranium, the cold iron casing or fragments in the round would pass into the flesh, having the ability to penetrate the flesh. In the instance of a cold iron encased round, the regener...

The random alien generation tables in the books works just fine. But you can always mod them for extra options by adding additional tables. Some things you can add..

There is a good reason why God built in an off switch for us.

But seriously, it is an inevitable progression along the bio sciences tech tree for us to start engineering new life.
I look forward to seeing applications start to appear.

Yeah, about three years for mine as well.. I had just about forgotten about it when I got word that it had been recieved and was up for inclusion.

ZEN

OK, so dimensional engineering continued. Take a link between universes where the physical laws differ slightly, and where matter exchange between them can circumvent the hungry entropic effect of our home dimension. Isaac Asimov wrote about this in his book "The Gods themselves", and he d...

Neural Scanner, Neural dampener and Neuralogic Tech. So for a few years now, science has been progressing on brain/computer interfacing.

Budget and story wise, it makes more sense to do a Southern Cross story, as it's cheaper by far to make movies in the southern hemisphere (they filmed most of Superman Returns in Australia... pretty much all of it actually). It has the key story elements.. it doesn't need a huge plot blah blah at th...

I have to make an honest living, so I manage a gas station, I have the early morning shift, gives me the afternoon free to get some shut eye.. I usually head into town around sunset, I ride my scooter in and park it next to the library where there is a pole to chain it to. I could fly down, but that...

So there is a consensus here that we like RT because it is not dumbed down, it is not like the A-Team (you know, 50,000 rounds fired and the only injuries inflicted is when the bad guys get thrown through a window or their car overturns) and it features the sort of characters that are not just the s...

Yeah, the interesting theories attached to cosmology and quantum mechanics are the concepts such as charge, mass and spin being properties of both basic sub atomic particles, and extremely high energy objects such as singularities. If anyone seriously wants to travel between the stars then they had ...

I have a few of those myself.. but no, I'd rather just stick to things that I can flip easily between RPG systems, as I am running others these days. Still, the concepts are the thing, so I'll just throw them at you guys if you don't mind.. you can assign numbers if you like, but some of it will be ...

Thats what I was hoping to hear really, but where to from there? Will humanity spread out into the galaxy? Does it need to? How heavy have the losses been in the inter species war?

One of my favorite characters was a Human Physical Training guy who took some gizmoteer skills as a crossover game with N&SS.. he also had a time travel belt and some handy gadgets he picked up along the way. Eventually retired him into a random jump across space and time. For all I know, he's s...

More ideas.. I was creating a random space based encounter table and had an incident with a large multi cargo vessel (the type with a crew made up of families) with a fault in it's star drive, the scary kind of fault where there is a breach in the realitivistic sump which causes accellerated aging i...

Cool.. you had me after the first three sentences.

Get it written.

When writing magic based stuff, remember that magic fits into basically all of the Palladium settings, so including the conversions is important. Don't just write it for Rifts, write it for M.D.C. and S.D.C. settings, from PFRPG to Phaseworld to Heroes Unlimited. When I wrote the Blade Mage article,...

You know what I liked the most about robotech?

Well, there are many games that involve giant robots.. name me some that pay equal attent...

I think he is aware of that.

Merely swapping one species of Mitochondria for another wouldn't produce any dramatic effects, but engineering a super strain of the mitochondrial cells would be interesting.

A good exploration of the familier, but (at first glance) simple aspects of the game world are often the very best articles.
One of my favorite Dragon magazine articles was about bows.

So yeah, go for it.

ZEN

Test those new categories in your campaign as well as the new powers.

Break up the articles as several submissions.

I wouldn't bother adapting an existing power.

Adventures would be a good option (as said, future PDF releases are the ticket).

If the Bionics category is not flying with you, take a look at the new options for the Super Soldier (experiment category).. thay can have some nifty bionic features which might work well for you and your GM.
