usually silver is not a big issue in our games. just make sure they are not abused too much, silver bullets should only be SDC. also, it might be a good idea to not make every place carry a large amount of silver bullets and such. maybe only a handful of bullets, or the place has other items made of...

Sir Blayse

probably the same as a normal human brain. i'm pretty sure you need more than just the brain to use any powers they would of had. for mages you are just using the knowledge stored in the brain. since a borg loses the ability to use psychic powers, being less what he was and more machine- i would ass...

Sir Blayse

ok, i'm tired and want sleep right now, but this? this right here? that's crazy talk. volume is not a unit of measurement. if i ask you how much air you breathe in a day, you don't say "oh, well, i breathe 10 volumes of air in one day". you might express it in terms of volume, for which y...

Sir Blayse

and for the record, unless there are some MDC creatures in the psyscape and rules for converting every other setting's creatures to MDC, then no there aren't worse things in the astral. they're all SDC because they all come from SDC settings. what are you trying to say here? no one is saying that t...

Sir Blayse

some creatures like the power leech do not even have other options other than the mind bolt power to do serious damage.

Sir Blayse

allow me to clarify: the astral plane is, for lack of a better way to describe it, an SDC setting. every single one of the big scary monsters in the astral plane that i can think of would get slaughtered in extremely short order if you were to allow anything with MDC (or that deals MD) were to be p...

Sir Blayse

the problem, imo, is that there shouldn't be any ridiculously niche psionic powers out there. it's fine for a spell to be a niche spell, because a ley line walker can learn it without losing a chance to take something better. a mind melter can only choose so many powers, and doesn't have room for s...

Sir Blayse

I agree with the nimble hollow bone critter thing. It gets un fun fast when your guy's are killing bad guy's to fast. BUT, go head and let them get cocky. I will one day share the story of the kung fu monk, chi gung, and the vampire. You just have to turn up the heat when they dont expect it. Actua...

Sir Blayse

above is correct, the MAF's from N&SS are far superior in bonuses than the other H2h skills, so it helps to balance them out.

Sir Blayse

Ok, Ninjitsu includes several physical skills, but the W.P.'s are not listed in the skill section. Does anyone have any idea what the bonuses should be for these special weapons?

Sir Blayse

I've always pictured it being like a force push or like TK push. The victim would be thrown back in the air, not high off the ground, but not touching the ground until the end of the distance. It would really interesting for those rooftop battles or places where the battle could have interesting res...

Sir Blayse

Well we had two Atlantean twins in one of my games who were named Chae and Cyan. Chae was an Undead Slayer and Cyan was a Mind melter. I can't remember their last names, but they were very memorable characters. Chae went topless most of the time to take advantage of all her tats. Cyan was always up ...

Sir Blayse

Very nice. You have a nice knack for TW inventions. I really like the Grenade and the Multi-purpose revolver.

Sir Blayse

Ok, I wondering what useful TW-inventions players have made. Basically looking for name, what device does and spells used to make it. Here's an example of mine: Magical Energy Disruption Net Gun (MED-N-Gun) , Device fires a magic net that captures enemy and temporarily knocks out energy weapons, rad...

Sir Blayse

Now a separate point to ask, since this suit is so thin and form fitting, would you allow a character to wear this under another suit of body armor. Would it be possible to wear a larger EBA suit and have this on underneath, sort of a second chance armor.

Sir Blayse

I would not, its 100% synthetic, thus its not mage armor. Its not if its environmental or not, its if its synthetic or not, and Mage armor has to be made of "natural" materials. Want stealthy Mage armor? Have a TW include a chameleon effect (in addition to featherweight and silencing), it...

Sir Blayse

I'm playing a Mexican Mind Melter Mercenary who used to be a carnie... and he doesn't use swords, so no psi-sword.

Sir Blayse

Actually a good question to me would be, does a bullet/round even make a sonic boom anyway? Would an object that small actually have that much trouble crossing the sound barrier. I mean it's not the size of plane, its just a big bullet... Just something I've always thought about.

Sir Blayse

This one is pretty simple: Spine and Shoulders, add 50 SDC Arms and Shoulders, add 30 SDC each, there would be two, so 60 SDC Hands and Wrists, add 10 SDC each, two as well for 20 SDC Legs and Hips, add 40 SDC, times two for 80 SDC Feet and ankles, two again for a total of 20 SDC more. This gives yo...

Sir Blayse

Actually in that game you can do several changes to the way the character looks. I switched her to the all metal version, it even has the rift's looking exhaust port things coming from the back...

I just found the intro fitting to this topic, but it is odd that her mission is to go after Bush...

Sir Blayse

Game about a love bot gone wrong... silly game, but fits the idea here.

http://flashgamesite.com/play1110game.html

Sir Blayse

They might be small, but still have supernatural strength and mind control abilities... I didn't get to do a rift's costume this year. I think I'm going to start on a ley line walker costume for next year. Try and see if I can get all the materials together for one that looks like the blue picture i...

Sir Blayse

OK, those seem pretty good. Character is a combat borg so it has robotic strength to start with. One other question I found, some items say they can be hooked to the 'Borgs nuclear power supply- is there a limit shown to how many items can be hooked to it? So far the two forearm weapons will be conn...

Sir Blayse

Ok, it's been a long time since I built a cyborg character and I'm trying to make one with the RUE rules. The problem is that it only shows to roll for IQ, ME, and MA. It says the other stats come from the mechanical parts, which the character starts with PS 24 arms and PS 18 legs, PP 18, and SPD 13...

Sir Blayse

Well I have a few that I think are the best.

Man of arms: I would say full conversion borg
Adventurer: Rouge Scholar
Magic: Ley Line Walker
Psychic: Mind Melter

Of all I think my favorite would be the Ley line walker.

Sir Blayse

I like to think of mad max on animals... they are tribal in nature and are almost impossible to bargain with. they make for really good recurring villains or threats. maybe the players killed a small group, but some manage to escape, now the others are coming back for blood. they only respect streng...

Sir Blayse

I'm thinking that they group will need to find a certain item to help them in their quest. The problem is that the item is believed to be somewhere in the valley in the mountains where the hermit lives. This area is full of earth and air elementals, the players would need to convince the hermit to h...

Sir Blayse

I'm going to take a rare stance here and agree with KC. I prefer to go with canon material as usual. Borg's are MDC and no longer HP/SDC. The point on psionic powers or magic that affects the mind is just that- affects are not the damage. You can use psionic invisibility, mental possession, radiate ...

Sir Blayse

Ok, I'm working on an idea for an Earth/Air Fusionist to be used as one of the antagonist for story. The idea would be for the guy to be a Mountain hermit- he will be of a selfish alignment most likely. The hermit does not wish to be bothered by anyone and will fight intruders on his land. The catch...

Sir Blayse

Don't underestimate her, she might check all the time...

Sir Blayse

How about the Crimson Scourge? Have them all wear red armor and use red vehicles with red jolly roger banners for vehicles and stuff.

Sir Blayse

The merchant sends the caravan with as much as he can possibly gather, to make the greatest return on the caravan investment. He doesn't simply sit on a whole pile of extra goods, nor can he afford to wait until he has more - storage is money wasted. Not to mention higher taxes for those goods that...

Sir Blayse

It would be nice if the guys at Backbone could do a version for PSP or DS. I know a lot has happened since PoP was made, but it would be nice to have another game on a more popular platform come out. If Palladium could get a decent game out to the masses, they would probably have a better shot of so...

Sir Blayse

That would be a good idea. Maybe someone at palladium could make that available on there. I would certainly use that.

Sir Blayse

Well, I've been in a rather long dry spell. As far as I can tell there are no Rifts players in my area of Texas. I do a play-by-post game, but can't get a decent game going. The only people that I might be able to recruit from the local comic shop are rather young and the shop is small. If they have...

Sir Blayse

They do show other perspectives from time to time. The one in the beginning of the New West book is pretty interesting. They show up every now and then, it is just that Erin Tarn's works get published in Lazlo and spread out to the world. If a book comes out that she has not been to, then it doesn't...

Sir Blayse

Interesting, battle. That same game when the other player lost a leg, I was playing a martial artist from N&SS and took on four dog boys. I had no idea what they were and just thought they were monsters. I had never even read the books at that time and only knew what a Glitter boy was from my fr...

Sir Blayse

H1N1 is the start of a Zombie Outbreak. You better make sure you have all your survival gear ready and your survivor group prepared and ready to move. I love the idea, props are usually pretty good. In Rifts for a New West adventure we actually played a few games of poker with real cards, since ther...

Sir Blayse

Well at least your first character is a cyborg with that happening. In my first game one of the players was a ley line walker and he lost a leg in the first battle, not good for mages... Just a minor setback for a cyborg. How did you lose it?

Sir Blayse

Well, I personally think she is a good plot device within the game. We ran one game that the players were supposed to try and find Erin Tarn, in the story it had been a long time since anyone heard from her and the powers that be at Lazlo had become worried. The group actually never caught up with h...

Sir Blayse

Well, I like it. A description like that would handle most of the issues, except that everyone would be scrambling for .500's. Maybe start with 2d6 MD and go up from there, also, nice way to stop the shotgun craziness.

Sir Blayse

I'm sure Honda is already working on something like this... if a lone Army mechanic can do that, just imagine what the Japanese are working on.

Sir Blayse

Personally, the concept is interesting, but would get boring pretty quick. The idea would limit you in a lot of game situations. I would say focus more on either a rogue scholar ( with an interest is the civil engineering aspect) or a Techno-wizard of a similar concept. A strictly Civil engineer cha...

Sir Blayse

A question Sir Blayse: I am a bit curious to know if you think Sixth Sense is going to help the Psi Slinger in any way in a duel? Of course is doesn't. But duels almost never involved two opponents squaring off to draw on each other. Most would of been one guy attempting to shoot the other in the b...

Sir Blayse

Dead boy: Firstly, before anything else in the Psi-Slinger's list of weapons is a Derringer (an SDC slug thrower), "a pair of fancy silver plated revolvers" (SDC slug throwers), and a pair of automatic pistols (aganin, SDC slug throwers). Being listed first, they are given prominence and p...

Sir Blayse

Wow, what is that thing and where can you get one? That is a pretty good truck, plus the four-wheel carrier is a nice touch. It would still need some major mods for it to work, but very nice in open areas.

Sir Blayse

And now let's examine the horrendous limitations of this power. 1) As mentioned above, it does 1D6 MD now and forever till the day the Psi-Slinger dies. 2) The instant the weapon is put down or taken from the Psi-Slinger's person, (disarmed, pick pocket, momentarily fumbles it, ...), all the bullet...

Sir Blayse

I'm guessing no one here ever succeeded in making a padded container for an egg and then dropping it off of a building. It is a simple idea, I'm pretty sure in the future that might be improved to save a life. It might not stop you from taking all damage, but would be better than unprotected fall. Y...

Sir Blayse

I would think even a naked Gunslinger would not be without his guns. Just his gun belt and a smile... The Psi-slinger has a lot of advantages that regular 'slingers do not. First energy expulsion is great for those surprise moments or when he has been disarmed by someone. The second one psychic weap...

Sir Blayse

of course they can, it just wouldn't be easy.

the come and get it is because my namesake comes from a cyber-knight character I played years ago when i started on the forums... just messing with you.
