I am glad.

What about the "Create Giant Insect" stats in the "Control Insects & Arachnids" from Villains Unlimited and HU2?

acreRake

No, i don't change it. While not as 'powerful', it is still amazing (especially since you heal even when you aren't resting, and never get tired in the first place). The SUPER fast recovery of HP becomes the real focus of the power (it keeps you from dying). Besides, i tend to think of minor powers ...

So I was thinking about getting a game together, probably Heroes Unlimited, but maybe Fantasy. I realized that I (and I think most of us) use rules and features from all across the megaverse, in terms of books anyway. If you do, what are the best pieces to use in any palladium game? Heck, any game f...

In general, when a character must “power up*” in order to use their powers, are their powers’ drawbacks also only active while powered up? Specifically thinking of powers like solar powered or bookworm with obvious penalties, but also things like clairvoyant flashes... I suppose that those would for...

I can't think of any examples off the top of my head either... Super Vehicles are pretty complicated and robots are way sexier, so authors tend to go for 'bots. I only JUST NOW noticed the giant {OPTIONAL} next to Building a Super Vehicle... I guess that means you can use them... huh? Anyway: All th...

Just for fun: Is it possible to split your mind and be in two places at once? Could a psychic martial artist with Two Minds Zenjoriki possess someone and still control their own body? Is there magic that can do anything like that? Or maybe a power or ability that would let the possessor control the...

acreRake

I like the Nullifier idea. Would the character's immunity to possession still work while the psychic is out possessing someone else? (It's listed under RCC "bonuses" not "psionic powers" if that helps. My guess is, no?) I take the point about Transferral/Possession... Just keep t...

I would probably treat talents like superpowers. (Unless someone had a better idea

)

acreRake

Is there an OCC, PCC, RCC or Power category (etc) that specializes in possessing people?
Or is a regular old Mind Mage/Melter my best bet?
Are there good combos of psionics/spells/abilities/powers for possessing others?

acreRake

Are there any known deities that take special interest in rivers? Maybe it’s Ippotomi‘s will that guides its course?

Create a bunch of Super Invention and Magic Object characters then have them hand their items to a level one character

Save vs. Panic is from the Reptile Brain Vestigial Disadvantages in After the Bomb 2nd ed.

When it says "access to" that means for choices above 3rd level, right?
Not that they get all of them along with the shaman spells (which they have all of by level 2)?

I was looking at Spirit West yesterday and can't help but think that Utah can be little more than a spirit haunted wasteland. Sure there are nomads (Simvan, Native Americans etc...) and probably some scattered hard-scrabble towns... [comedy]If it was me, i would probably make the city (of Wonder, is...

I am clueless about how TechnoWizards actually work, i just knew there's lists of items in the Book of Magic and various Rifters. I guess I thought you needed to pick off the list. I was going to say now I'll look up how TW items are actually constructed, but Mack stated the whole thing! Thanks very...

Which Fire or electricity based techno-wizard weapon will give me the best bang for my buck? By buck of course I mean mystic energy input, money is no object.

or the mutants in orbit mutant insects from mars. they're not xiticix-level of dangerous, but they're dangerous enough. It wouldn't be Rifts if it wasn't bees , düde.

Gun Limb?

Neat! Thanks for that!

I think there is design space for other categories getting into magic also. There are characters in the source material that have access to specifically magical abilities via "inherent" abilities. Also, in other PB games there are characters who gain access to spells and other magic psioni...

First of all, a steel mill or steelworks is probably going to be a complex of several buildings (especially if they process their own ore). What I suspect you're thinking of is a foundry. The one with big buckets of molten metal pouring everywhere, right? I think a foundry is usually like a warehous...

In addition to the equipment section of NSS, there's the Gizmoteer skill program section. If you are playing a modern-day campaign* you'll need to update the technology (microchip sizes, for example). There's one or two pieces of equipment in Mystic China that would be useful for a Stage Magician. P...

I think Vek is exactly right. As Far as I can tell, the intent of the design is that if a player comes up with a reasonable way to get the information, they get it. (Whether it be CSI or judging how the court feels about the king.) 'Yes, and...' & 'Yes, but...' Are your best tools in this situat...

Only while playing NSS/TMNT hybrid games with Guide the Universe... It sounds like a great idea, of course; shades of Cowboy Bebop. Edit: Oh yeah, I did have one organization with a base on Mars. They sent a Wu Shih there initially, and they used the caverns of yin* to travel back and forth after th...

HAHA! I found it! PU2 pg 46 "Super Abilities for the Physical Human Gestalt Being: Unstable! You get a few minor powers and a random major every time the gestalt comes together. "Over time, some of the same Major abilities will repeat, but the characters have no idea when. Obviously the co...

I think you need to take a second look at the power levels of the average super soldier (unless you are talking about the ones from the main book, not PU2)...

Interesting stuff...

acreRake

Is having completely random powers really overpowering? Seems like it could go the other way too and wind up being useless or at least sub-optimal, especially at low levels. I mean, i'm not talking about someone like Legion (who technically has all those powers, just not always access), or even Jack...

To me Simultaneous' instructions to Renet can basically be boiled down to "the job of the timelords is to keep Rifts from happening." I guess I always assumed that on rifts earth the time lords lost. To me the kind of transdimensional chaos caused at the coming of the rifts would destroy o...

The only place I was able to find any kind of conversion of something's original weight to stone weight when petrified was with the HU power ASP: Stone which triples the weight of the character using it... which seems reasonable.

Personally, I've always used trade school/on the job training for this idea. Usually it's a physical program and a law enforcement/military/espionage program. Depending on who's doing the training.

Is there a way to create a character whose superpower(s) change(s) from time to time or even at will? I know there's the mutant unstable mutation where one minor power changes (one major, one minor stays the same) at level thresholds. is there a way to have a major power (or all your powers) change ...

I predict trouble in Tórshavn tonight

acreRake

I think if you had a small number of psionic powers (like a Lachinelian or Camlean mystic study character would have; eg 1-4 minor) you don't really need to go mega table, but if you have any super psionics*, it would be gracious to use the slower progression.

*especially if you have a lot of ISP.

Three major two minor is definitely in the mega range , ya silly goose.

Did anyone mention the Arcane Detective from Between the Shadows? ...pretty good too.

Allied: “I won’t fight you but my friend will.” The Hero has no powers except for a rare psychic link with a being that servers as guardian and friend of the hero. Think like pokemon, only with superheroes. I had some notes for a "Rider" power category ... the Rider's "Steed" th...

I have definitely used Alien for characters from the far future and past. But almost any category could be appropriate, one of HU's greatest strengths is its malleability. The biggest concern (mechanically) is using common sense in skill selection and skill lists for that matter. (Splicers is a good...

Oh yes. I love that stuff.
Like a guy named Damson is turned purple in an industrial accident,
Or a character i put in the Name Game thread who was split into one super-heated creature and another super-cold one named Luke Woarm.

See, I really thought it was energy absorption too, but I checked HU2 & HUR and there's no mention. I wonder if there is a similar power or ability somewhere that does. Or am I completely blind?

What/which superpower enables a character to recharge energy clips?
