Don't know if Someone already covered it but riffs Australia and chaos Earth also have some good STC weapons in them. Weapons are tools you have more than one kind of weapon because you need more than one kind of tool because there's more than one kind of application. Also they have to physically fi...

In the description text of Shaolin it says that it can be used with weapon styles. One possible, liberal, view of that is that you could combine Shaolin and Shih Ba Ban Wu Yi in the same way that Hwarang Do and Moo Gi Gong can. However, notably, Shaolin has far better unarmed bonuses than HD and MGG...

tsh77769

Looking at them seperately, Hwarang Do really sucks and Moo Gi Gong only has going for it the admittedly awesome ability to use any weapon or anythign as a weapon, other than that, it sucks. TOGETHER? It depends on if you combine APM together or not. The combat bonuses are still weak. The combat mov...

YES! I do indeed LOVE it. It is still great material. It can be used stand alone or ported over into other games. Either way it is very useful and flavorful.

This might also be the case for 2016 and 2020 as well.

Well, it IS official material but of course a GM can always restrict things as he needs or see fit. Also, it can of course be exclusive to the Atorians or to even that specific OCC, etc. None the less, it is cool to think of some sort of mix of bio-tech and bionics, perhaps think of it as a souped u...

I FOUND IT!! I FOUND IT!!

Rifter #2 page 39 at the bottom of the cybernetic implants section!!

Please note that this is OFFICIAL material!

I'm so happy right now I could dance (except that I, you know, um, can't dance, like, at all).

tsh77769

I swear I remember reading a note in an official source (the rifter 14 and 17 atorian and thropo info is official but I'm not sure it was there) that the Atorian bionics were organic based so they didn't interfere with psionics but now I can't find it!

Can I get an assist?

Nancy Pelosi! Just the right kind of deranged and deluded evil for Proesek!

There are villains too: Democrat Party slavers & after their defeat, the Democrat Party terrorist squads of the KKK.

I wonder if giving horses bionics is considered "Cruelty to Animals?" Or... Would a horse actually relish it's new abilities? It actually addresses that in one of the NGR or Russan books about bionic horses noting taht the NGR has outlawed bionic horses on humane grounds. also the Russian...

tsh77769

There should be a Millenium Tree. I'm digging that. Also, despite my comment regarding pre-rifts references; now that you mention sacred trees, something about the red wood forest being magical or sentient or semi-sentient wood be of interest. (see what I did there, "wood" be of interest!)

tsh77769

Also Russia has info about bionic horses which can also be used for robot horses.

By the time the cataclysm comes everyone will have already fled from the failing Communist hades of California. However, after the cataclysm it may be repopulated by D-bee's and other sentient life. One of the things that is over-done is pre-rifts connections. I'm more interested in seeing post Rift...

Mark Hall wrote:There's another downside to permanent Armor of Ithan: eventually it will run out of SDC, and then you have a very expensive tattoo and piece of inset jewelery.

It self regenerates though if I recall correctly.

So what would be some interesting wards or spells to have made permanent on a person that would not mess up their life like being stuck invisible? For example, I'm thinking Fly as an Eagle, Swim as a Fish (either version), invulnerable to energy, and a few others. Another specific one I was wonderin...

tsh77769

The section in PFRPG on wards, under the permanence war, mentions that wards can be used to make a spell permanent and that they can be placed on people. My question is if I had a fly as an eagle spell and permanence ward on a character, does that mean they would be stuck flying forever and unable t...

I'm wanting to develop a Nightbane character whose morphus is that of a power armor or robot with the goal or idea being that people actually think it is a power or robot with a human pilot inside and not being ware that he IS it. I'd need armor for increased SDC. Some way of preventing or limiting ...

tsh77769

I just wanted to say that this a fantastica idea and that was great material! I would have loved to have seen more fleshed out in a Rifter article. They'll bring it back soon I hope.

Some thins not to be overlooked regarding the cyberknight psi-sword: Since it is instant you can always switch fluidly from unarmed to armed, say you need both hands to do something, just dispel it, do what you need to do then recreate it. As long as you are concious and not mind controlled you can ...

tsh77769

The customer service stuff in there is really interesting as well. They had mentioned stuff like this in the past but was fleshed out well. Titan offers insanely good deals for repair/rearmament of your mechs. It is how archie gets his info but for the people using these things if you are not an op...

tsh77769

Given that Temporal Warriors seem to be warriors first and mages second, would they be eligible for Advanced Training? More specifically the martial master and the advanced marksman training?

Opinions?

tsh77769

tsh77769

Horribly disappointing. I was really hoping for more information about golden age technology, more interesting weapons and features. Nope. Throughout Rifts, Titan's robots, weapons, and tech has been horribly diapointing and I was hoping this book would resolve it. Nope. The most "interesting&q...

Another point of interest is that if the Snap Cord is, as the description says, soley responsible for acceleration, I can make the main body of the bow be just a straight staff since it doesn't use flexing limbs. Or, in the alternative, I could use both Snap Cord AND flexing limbs for more power. If...

What can you get for 183,300 credits…??? BEST EVER TECHNO BOW!

I think it does mention somewhere that they are true spell casters and IIRC places like the Kingsdale Militia referred to in Juicer Uprising and other references mention them learning additional spells.

tsh77769

tsh77769

Awesome guys! You had one or tow I didn't know about and so I'm learning cool new stuff!

I think this could be an excellent GM resource thread when it is fully fleshed out.

Tsh77769

tsh77769

Can we get a sticky with special materials and sources listed.

I think this would be most helpful for special item builds.

tsh77769

tsh77769

I would look at Rifter 18 for an expanded unusual traits articel and Rifter 22 for an expanded super soldier article.

tsh77769

So far here is what I have come up with... 2 Majors and 5 Minors... Immortality: Because it's cool and part of the character concept. Note: Still dies if decapitated. Multiple Selves: Because of the core one may army concept. Flying force disc: Transportation of self, others, and cargo, in space, wa...

tsh77769

I just realized that instant wardrobe wont help with the not being naked because you have to have something already on to switch out with the new outfit. I've also noticed that of all the couple hundred powers only 2 allow you to survive being decapitated, Minor: anatomical Independence and Major: Z...

Wow guys, some great ideas that I had not considered!!

Keep it coming!

tsh77769

tsh77769

I know things like this have been done before as I have seen some such threads. A fresh view is always welcomed. Parameters: Multiple selves +2 major & 3 minor, or multiple selves + 1 major & 5 minor. With one of the powers providing some sort of uniform/costume/armor. This is because the mu...

tsh77769

Flying Force Disc provides all these...

Transportation of self, others, and cargo in air, space, and water.
Ranged physical projectile weapon (energy resistance won't help) with low power but good range.
Potentially a sort of shield or barrier (though not explicitly stated).

I like it.

Can we get sticky on special materials for weapons and armor?

tsh77769

tsh77769

The only thing you have to make up or guess about is damage. Just use real life stats for weight, range, mag capacity, etc. I seem to recall .50 BMG doing 1D6x10 SDC in several palladium games. Some books list some MDC capable .50 BMG rounds. Then you could also use magic to get it to go MDC. tsh77769

My favorite Wilks laser pis...

The endo-skeletal replacement was/is one of the coolest things in PU2. However, I would like to see it "fleshed out" more. Pun intended. As for Rifts, yeah it does mention that the robotic skeleton has 200 MDC. It also mentions the internal organs being sealed, shielded, and protected or s...

I was SO disappointed to see Biathalon lose its strike bonus. A strike bonus totally makes sense. More so than the also justifiable initiative bonus. I was MORE SO disapointed to see most of the MDC bullet chuckers and the not quite rail gun bullet chuckers omitted. I though those were really intere...

HEY GUYS WOW!! I found a minor power that allows limb regeneration. It's anatomical independence form PU1.

Also I found another regen major mower, Divine Healing, IIRC also from PU1.

As a Soldier with tons of automatic weapon experience I can assure you the following...
