Like Free Québec 2,give update timeline telling what happined to Npcs,Some info on the Fortress cities and so On.

I'd buy 2 or 3 of most books.

say652

Several World Books need updating to the new Rifts Unlimited Edition standard as well as a thorough editing and definate explanation of each occ/rcc/pcc abilities. Not to mention who gets Perception bonuses. As well as which RCCs can choose occs. Building the workable library was fun then changing t...

I would go with the xp table for an equivalent Occ found in Coalition War Campaign.

say652

The C word gets topic locked and warning issued.

What I think you mean to say is, is there something like a Half Vampire in Rifts?

Answer yes, Psi Stalkers.

say652

The COD style mods, No. But I do allow Over under style custom weapons like Ripley used in Aliens. Grab the Duct Tape cause it's getting Real!!

say652

True, I am gming for a Cook Mage currently, poor Combat Cyborg is bored to tears. They use him to carry heavy stuff at the Restaurant :/

Reduce xp when ever they flee. Have them gain a reputation as Chickens. Like a HF 8 but instead of fear the are made fun of and not taken seriously. Each adventure the keep with the retreats increase the Hf by 1. That sounds more like a punishment than a solution. The road weary team walks into the...

Poor horsey

It ends when the base is depleted

say652

Not according to the power description

say652

I stand by the unique ability ruling. As written it runs it's duration

Unless the psychic chooses to end it early, as written on Psyscape pages 33-34.

And that's a great Houserule

say652

say652

Then we must agree to disagree because allowing the power to be on and off at will is Munchkin to me.

say652

By the rules.

say652

The duration is listed with no option to cancel it, but book stacking you can build anything you want.

say652

I get "i loved it High-school then they feLloyd off the Earth. "

say652

And as the GM you have the right to House Rule as you see fit.

say652

Nothing in the text in Psyscape pages 33-34 limits it to "standard" psychic powers; it is applicable to psychic powers, period. I've already explained why the Transformation ability is a psychic power; every single item under "Natural Abilities" in every RCC in the Achilles Repu...

say652

The ability to end the transformation early is supported by Psyscape, pages 33-34, which I have cited earlier in this thread, and which makes it clear that psychics can end powers at will and do not have to let them run for the full duration. And for a standard Psychic power you are correct. This i...

say652

When the Base is expended it ends. Exactly what I've been saying Yes, if the base is reduced to zero the power ends. No one has disputed that. That isn't the same thing as saying "and you can't cancel it before the ISP base is depleted," which is what you have been arguing, and is not sup...

say652

When the Base is expended it ends. Exactly what I've been saying

say652

In my opinion, the ability to cancel the power isn't an ability because the text says it cannot be cancelled and the base must be depleted to end.
But hey, Feel free to house rule as you see fit.

say652

And your welcome to say that the power can be canceled when clearly it cannot. Those are wonderful illustrations of completely unsupported arguments. So prove it. PROVE, from the text, that the transformation power is either not a psychic power, or is a psychic power but is not subject to the rules...

say652

And your welcome to say that the power can be canceled when clearly it cannot.

say652

Everyone I talk to says they didn't Know that Palladium was still in business. "Haven't heard anything from them since the 90's "

say652

And that's a Fine Houserule but not how the power actually works

say652

I presented facts you interpretation is your opinions.

say652

The O' Borg is also a trained and Hardened soldier. They are technically "Partial Conversion" Cyborgs.

say652

We'd already discussed those lines before you joined the thread, but since you insist: "Furthermore, every hour after the transformation, 2 I.S.P. are subtracted from the character's I.S.P. base, and cannot be regained until the transformation is over. When the I.S.P. base is utterly depleted,...

say652

Word play cannot change the Fact that the power cannot be cancelled by the Psychic.
Improper grammar is not a game mechanic.

say652

Yes it does last sentence in the power description, power cannot be turned off until baset is depleted. It's a special abilities not a standard power.

say652

Except in this case the power says cannot be cancelled but feel free to house rule. Except nowhere does it say that, that's something you're adding in based on what you THINK the text says. It's says exactly what I've been saying in the description of natural abilities. The last sentence in the par...

say652

It is a specialist - generalist argument. Mages are generalists not specialists at combat. For some (I would say even most) mages that is probably true... ...excepting of course all of the mages who are combat specialists of course. Because 'mage' is a whole category of being. And it includes every...

Before Algor became mdc I was a Fan of Delphi Juicer Frost Giants. I say House Rule. I don't see the harm in high Sdc creatures getting Juiced. Orcs are not really High Sdc so again I don't so the Harm. Before they cracked down on the Juice Rules, I had an Amaki House of Juicers that retired into th...

I've provided facts from the book as written, draw your own conclusions.

say652

It's a Natural ability unique to the Neo Human, not a standard psychic ability

say652

South America 2, page 150. Under Neo Humans natural abilities. Not getting banned for some one else's inability to comprehend written language.

say652

If anone actually checked the book it clearly says. "When the isp base is utterly depleted the transformation ends" Ganging up because someone have an answer you don't like is sad. Even worse because he's Right. Which at no point means 'once activated this power cannot be turned off and r...

True each use of Hyper TK is 50isp.

Kind of where I was at.

Adding in perception ugh, RUE changed the entire backlog of world books by making theme out of date :/

say652

Ojahee Cyborg.

This partial Conversion beast is a trained soldier with Supernatural Strength, decent skills and good Mdc.

My issue.
Perception bonus?

say652

@Axelmania: The ad hominem attacks are a nice touch, but you are still wrong. To expand upon what Drewkitty mentioned, see Psyscape, page 33-34, where it states that the psychic can instantly cancel a power at any time, and does not need to use a power for the full duration, but can set it to any d...

say652

I accept that it is not clear to you. I accept you are confused. However it IS clear, and you are simply wrong. Your not understanding the math does not mean the rules and math are unclear. You say "the power isn't given a duration". This is not correct. The power clearly has a "full...

Which HtH? Basic, expert, higher? If its the same, the relative power to each-other is mostly the same, their power relative to PC's spike dramatically, even if its just basic. Normally Expert, sometimes one from Rifts Japan. Really depends on the party level. I'm not going to through a level 15 De...
