If an Atlantean (which for all tense and purposes according to the mythology are at least partial demigods) and a demigod from Egyptian myth mated (Child of Thoth), could the offspring have magical tattoos and/or inherit the mothers power? How much PPE, hit points, and SDC should he have? And lastl...

According to what we know of the rules as written, Techno-Wizards still have the restriction of hindered casting from within FEBA and metal armor; it's actually part of the magic system. However, in our game it makes no sense for Techno-Wizards to be inhibited by this restriction. Their training sh...

Where it says that mages can cast magic on people in FEBA. I believe it is somewhere near were it says mages can't cast magic through/into PA, Bots, and vehicles. Didn't say the RMB said that. What I was noting was that there were no permissions in the RBM to cast through the TW PAs there. I don't ...

You can try searching for "Magical Mack's". Mack occasionally posts his TW creations under titles starting with that (assuming I'm remembering correctly).

There is no way this device would be a pistol. It is more powerful that some starship cannons and it should be at least the size of a tank main gun. undefinedThe prototypes would also need to have been created in a vacuum to protect against the anti-matter exploding. This device is just too dangero...

Both the shifter and summoner can control a certain number of lesser beings (stereotypically demon or deevil let's say, in respect to minion war popularity) with 'greater' tier demon or deevil counting as 2 lessers. Summoners appear to suck regarding the control of a Gargoyle Mage or Gargoyle Lord ...

One of the other players in my group has asked an interesting question. If a mage memorizes a location to Teleport to and then is placed in stasis for 5000 years, can he still teleport to the memorized location? I'd say it would depend on how much the location has changed in my opinion. The ability...

Maybe it's just me but this sounds an awful lot like a conversion of the Rune Mages from the Death Gate Cycle. Maybe it's just me though. It's probably the use of the 'Heart Rune'.

I am either blind or just don't get it. Our GM wants us to roll up powerful characters, letting us pick Godling RCC and then take an OCC if we like.

Talisman is not used in the construction of those weapons, the rules are pretty clear: you need to use either a diamond or an emerald unless your using a spell like talisman. The easy answer on the TK weapons is that they aren't holding PPE. They are holding "TK Rounds". Items that hold P...

I'm not even sure how some of the TW weapons listed in RUE actually store the energy. The rules specifically state you need a diamond or emerald to store PPE however none of the TK weapons have those gems. The rules say that diamonds and emeralds store PPE easily. Not that they are the only gems th...

I think the easiest fix possible is to simply cap the amount the cost can be decreased from the base cost of the primary spell. I'd say cap it at 50% of what the primary spell costs. That way you can't build 1 PPE annihilate guns, but you can still achieve decent efficiency by paying more.

The situation is this; you wake up to find that you have been kidnapped. Does the fact that you are willing to use any force necessary to escape up to and including lethal force trigger the villain's Sixth Sense? Or does it take a more specific intent? I'd say it takes a more immediate intent. If m...

spells with class/racial/alignment restrictions work on what you actually ARE, not what you're temporarily 'pretending' to be through magic. This isn't pretending to be SDC, you are literally made into SDC by this spell. A vampire that luckily still has use of magic spells and knows "Metamorph...

The costs are paid while the spells are being enchanted into the item. Thus a TW can recuperate her PPE while she sleeps, before the next day's round of enchanting. So deviding the the PPE cost by the number of hours needed will get you a cost per hour so you can calculate how many days it will tak...

The specific OCC's where you have to be a non-supernatural SDC creature in order to qualify tend to be sponsored by Deities who are more than capable of preventing tricksters from entering the ranks. I believe that's the case with the Dweomer deities and the classes they sponsor.

Galroth

You can also lower the total cost by over gemming the Device. This has the bonus effect of lowering the activation cost at the same time.

I'd switch to Techno-Wizard. All the spells you get from the gift of Knowledge would allow you to make some interesting items.

Also use Low PPE magics and mages, Scrolls and circle magic like the Diabolist (the circle mage) also reduces detection. if the mage has low levels ppe then they can't be sensed.

And you can go on using it that way in your games. Since that is a GM's prerogative. Otherwise the term means 'easily convertible' for canon. You might ask "Why?", but you have run out of me explaining things over and over like jewish poetry w/o you understanding what I am saying. I don't...

E-Clip recharging stations and their revenue are listed in Rifts Black Market. The stations listed in Merc Ops and for Cyborgs are ill-suited to commercial use.

A simultaneous attack is not the ability to strike first if you go on the sane initiative. According to Initiative if two people roll the same initiative you reroll. A simultaneous attack (according to R:UE and R:GMG) is an attack you make in place of a defence. Meaning that as soon as the missiles...

Although it seems like how much a reasonable rate for e-clip recharging would depend on how many credits your GM allows you to accumulate.
