I would say the answer on psionics from the astral is easy. Sensitive Powers are almost always allowed as per the word "generally" Other powers may or may not be, again as per the word "generally". Consult your individual GM for the specific rulings for your particular game. Ser...

So I was toying around with the idea of a sniper and what kind of bonus to strike he could accumulate. Specifically, how high of an Aimed Strike bonus he could get without resorting to far-fetched methods. This isn't intended to be a min-maxed munchkin sniper that combines unlikely bits from all ov...

The Immortal power category includes a Demi-God sub-category, so in taking that you'd be replacing the features of the Pantheons version, as they're basically different types of Demi-Gods and you really aren't going to have the Pantheons version taking yet another Demi-god to double-stack them.

The story of Grimace in and the Fry Guys holding last stand during the 2nd Zombie Plague of the Dark Ages is still sung about in Valhalla. Check out Mallworld, that's not far from the truth of how they see history in that setting. One character has her Saint Betty Crocker medallion she uses in pray...

Considering Chromium Armor is a unique material it probably requires specialized tools due to its properties to properly bond it when removing damaged sections and replacing with undamaged material. You may be able to kind of fake it but it wouldn't be as good as using tools built to manipulate it.

Nightmask

Not even most Sunaj know that they are Atlanteans; their characteristic armor is demon-born, similar to the equipment of Armageddon Unlimited, and blinds them to that fact while they wear it, and when it's removed, it dissolves completely, leaving the Aehrimann Atlantean with only a plausible reaso...

Neither of them is better. It is simply that they both have advantages and disadvantages and that the user needs to decide what is best for their particular needs. Cost is a huge issue for most people, as most people don't simply get to take the most expensive items possible just because they want ...

Usually for 42,000 credits you get 48 robots for 4 uses, which I guess means they work in teams of 12. They are 1 use only. Page 79 mentions Juicers have an internal and external IRMSS (you'd think the latter shold be called an ERMSS...) and it says the internal ones recharge via the body's electro...

LOL... All this back and forth about MREs, A Rations and B Rations... Can someone tell me about the Army's MDC body armor capable of taking 6-20 direct hits from an AT-4? SMH... The stuff you see on here. How about this, someone tell me what the inside of a Coalition Mark IX MLRS looks like given t...

Could have sworn the E-rats became the B rats. From what I read T-rat was a description meaning tray based rather than a designated like UGR-B They may have existed in the past but technically they do not exist unless some sicko is hoarding some. Current inventory includes these . Believe it or not...

Did a double check on the Neo-Humans. It says that everyone of them that hasn't died of violence is still around... So yes indeedy they go on the list. A thought occurred to me as well. Since Dark Conversions and Yolanda demonstrate that there are Nightbane and such... then there could very well be...

South America 2 p. 103 Domed building housing the Dimensional Gate System. Incoming rifts, etc. are directed to a large platform looking like a soundstage.

The only problem I can think of is if Crazies have an increased healing factor. If I remember my health class correctly, there's a chance that a pregnant woman's immune system sees the embryo as an invader and attacks it, which leads to a specific birth defect. I don't recall which one though at th...

Thing is to be able to do the kind of things you want you kind of DO have to know how to build things from the ground up, it's that extensive knowledge that lets them know how to take and re-purpose things in the fashion you want. If you don't know how the things work how can you know how to reuse t...

Do you feel Mechanolink is redundant at all with an Operator OCC? If I remember right its basically a shortcut, instead of taking time and effort to learn about a machine you touch it and its all there, combine this with heightened recall and you can potentially build any machine you touch as long ...

I don't know about the first question but the second if memory serves the super-villain in charge of Fabricator's Inc was listed as having all three (since I think it came out before the Hardware: Analytical category was introduced): Mechanical, Electrical, and Weapons.

If I remember correctly the Wolfen are a big part of the CCW so I'd imagine they'd at least have Wolfen compatible versions.

Nightmask

ley line walkers (by default at least) cannot learn temporal magic until they're level 9. this implies that there is not a simple easy shortcut that could be taken to achieve the desired result of learning temporal magic spells. of course, at your table, that doesn't have to be how things work, but...

The Temporal Raiders likely require that period of indentured servitude, whether the apprentice going on to become a teacher themselves does so is debatable (although most likely the average GM would impose it for no other reason than it's in the book). Most of that's made clear to have nothing to d...

For those talking about using anti-poison spells/psionics against juicers do keep in mind that technically the drugs that empower them AREN'T poisons. Sure the long-term effects of the drugs are toxic from the stresses on the body but they aren't actually poisons. They act to enhance the body in som...

Greetings and Salutations. I personally don't know of any Cure Insanity spell . I looked at the Invocation list in Magic & Psionics forum, but didn't see it listed. Also checked the Rifter spell list and didn't see it there either. The only listing I found for "Insanity" i...

I know I've heard of it, no idea where it was I saw it though.

Ok, I always wondered if batman did or did not fall into hero or anti-hero. And conversely I always considered that Punisher may actually be a villain like porter from payback. Oh yea, Punisher is most definitely a villain. he is a serial killer no doubt. He kills people left and right for the smal...

Even though the design is Pre-Rifts it appears that it was either not used in space or the template files did not survive. If a person wanted to make a space SAMAS my suggestion would be to use the Silver Eagle/Golden Eagle drop the speed down a lot (the turbines wont work with out air) and call it...

Nothing fallacious about it, nor do other unique properties of the realm mean that the sun is special/unique as well. Given it refers to even the weakest of vampires being able to bear it it is saying the sun's light is lacking the intensity/strength to do harm, otherwise there would be an explicit...

The Mega-juicer process harnesses latent psychic power, so it’s not purely a creation of science. How is that not still purely a creation of science? Everything involved is due to science, there's no non-science/supernatural involved in the process that I remember so how is that not purely a creati...

No... it isn't, but it takes a while for that to kick in... and in the mean time one can starve eating the food before it mutates them to the point where they can't get any nutrition from any food (and there is nothing that says it is addictive). It still relies on people CHOOSING to eat the food. ...

Greetings and Salutations. I voted "Other." Titan Juicers definitely started off as mortals, and Titan Juicers are created through science, but Juicers (final product) in general might not be mortal while "juiced." Note: Juicers have a finite life span and can be killed ...

Nightmask

I have to admit... I am a little surprised that people don't see powers like Healing Factor or similar powers that enhance healing as being "Natural"... as in that there is no outside force other than their own body repairing the damage. I was sure that many here would state that even tho...

Nightmask

I can't believe anyone would complain about the technology for a setting that's explicitly centuries ahead of Rifts Earth and SHOULD be much more powerful as being 'too powerful' and nerf it so it's no better than Rifts Earth, particularly one of the main power armors for a mature galaxy-spanning em...

In fact, I'd argue that full conversion cyborgs, under their MDC, lack their original SDC and retain only their hit points, due to the cutting away and replacement of much of their flesh. A hardcore GM might rule that a Fullcon regains Hit Points(if damage has reached that point, or somehow bypasse...

At the end of the day, does anyone really want a one-shot kill weapon against every single borg? Logically (ha ha) you could probably argue that phase weapons should tear through borgs like tissue, but it effectively removes borgs from any game with phase weapons. So let them have some aura or what...

You tried to set up a case where people where ignoring a blanket rule, The burden is on you to prove your idea that the writers of the FAQ were ignoring a blanket rule that had not yet been officially written. Regardless, I'll still ignore the FAQ because--as I've said--it holds no more meaning tha...

Nightmask

Even if the official ruling in it's most current form stated that borgs were SDC underneath the armor/body, the idea that a GM should hold phase beamers over their heads like a threat is the truly laughable part here. Games shouldn't be run based on that, characters shouldn't be made with the GM ca...

I have never really cared what the official FAQ is on most things Palladium. They make really dumb rulings, all the time. I sincerely think that KS waits until somebody in his gaming group does something he doesn't like, and then he says "no, you can't do that". And then he changes the ru...

Don't care in the slightest what he thinks the canon answer is. Cyborgs aren't alive outside of the brain inside them, they're just dead metal and not going to stop a phase beamer in the slightest anymore than a suit of power armor someone's jacked into will. There's no difference between the two. ...

Too much effort to protect Borgs from the consequences of someone taking control over them like a purely flesh-and-blood person had to worry about.

Borgs are considered MDC creatures now. I don't remember which book lists that change, but it was as a result of phase weapons being introduced.

As for what is soul destruction... ...I'll bite. What are you going to consider damage to/destruction of the soul?
