Ok. I guess I'm just trying to figure out any Machine/human interaction. Kinda sounds like little to none or just taunting from one of the other personalities.

RiftJunkie

Remember the scene in Ace Ventura 2 where he squeezes out of the rhino's butt? It's like that, but in reverse. Nice mental picture there. Sorry, I'm not crawling up anything's but. Even if it's my Host Armor. There's a "hatch" for that. As for how to play it, that's up to individuals to f...

RiftJunkie

Ok, so she has no problems killing humans when it suits her needs. How often does this happen? How often would she stop a robot legion from a massed assault? Does she freely communicate with humans on a semi-regular basis? What could be her reasons for killing humans or aren't we supposed to know?

RiftJunkie

This is cool. I look forward to seeing more. Thanks.

RiftJunkie

I think the Warmounts get away with "breaking the rules" by having a gestation period and another period before they reach maturity. It seems to read that the Host Armor gets used straight from the pool. Just my thoughts on it. Riftjunkie are you running or playing? boxee, Unfortunately, n...

Suiting up into large bio organic warmachines probably takes any sexy thoughts out pretty quick.

I don't know. Some people like the thought of getting all gooey.

I always had the impression that the Great Houses either had safe "meeting places" or if the Jacker was allowed in, they had "decontamination protocols" to follow. Have the TJ go into a tent/room/whatever, strip down and store all of his stuff. Then the TJ moves into the next ten...

i don't recall anything restricting a casting gun to the shoulder. heat projectors are very clearly noted as being a shoulder-mounted weapon (and then some)... but i don't recall anything that prevents you from mounting the casting cannon onto a forearm. i am afb though, and have been known to some...

RiftJunkie

Ok, so I get that you need to go up in level to grow your Light Gore Cannon into a Medium Gore Cannon. Also, that you need to advance in level further to grow/upgrade to Mega or Omni or whatever. My question is: What about Enhancements that don't alter anything but have prerequisites? What about the...

RiftJunkie

normally shoulder mounted weapons like the Casting, or Heat Projection Cannon, or my Pilobolus Cannon are designed for one on each shoulder. shoulder mounted weapons can be fired simultaneously But it depends on the design. for standard HA, i would normally only allow one for each shoulder. however...

RiftJunkie

So how does that work? Now you have a PL with it's head in the vacuum of space and it's now big enough to have it's own gravity! Whatever planet it was on is now likely off trajectory and everyone dies. Happy Times!

RiftJunkie

Would it really matter?
OK, the Power Leech absorbs a syncro cannon blast. It still dies because everything around it is vaporized. No ground, no air, no nothing. So the blast won't directly kill it, but it will still die by the blast.

RiftJunkie

Wildlife.... All the normal stuff we have today? Did the Machine add a bunch of MDC critters? If so, did the MDC critters eat all the SDC ones? Are they only found in the Preserves? Are they everywhere, but have the highest population in the Preserves? How much "animal food stock" do the G...

RiftJunkie

Also, if you got the "Super-Upgrade", does that mean you could get 10 shots before penalties? Or do you think the PE thing would over-ride the upgrade?

RiftJunkie

OK, say I want a "double barrel" Casting Thrower. Grow two on my right shoulder, one right next to the other. Firing both at the same time, one or two actions? Can stuff like this be "fire-linked"?

RiftJunkie

You get 5 blasts per melee, any more than that you get penalties.

Is that PER Bio-Energy Expulsion Vent, or total since it's based off of your PE? I would tend to think it's total because it's based off of your PE, but then what would be the point of more than one?

RiftJunkie

Yeah, I kinda figured that naked made the most sense. Maybe I'm twisted, but I think that makes it cooler for the game. Have a pack for a towel and park near water.

By the way, are the water bodies safe or did the Machine purposefully pollute them or make them toxic for humans without purification?

RiftJunkie

Yup, you are right. It's naked. Apparently I read that and then forgot. Thank you and sorry for my goof.

RiftJunkie

I'm curious about the "guts" that you get into. Do you get in and "bladders" expand to form complete contact with you, or do you squeeze organs like Starbuck flying a new Cylon Raider, or something else? Do you need to be naked to have optimal contact with the HA, or do you wear ...

RiftJunkie

Ok, another question about the serpentine body. Combat Tail/Stinger Tail/Whip Tail... They have the prerequisite of Prehensile Tail. Seems to me, that Prehensile Tail is the only way to get a tail (with the exception of cosmetic enhancement) other than Serpentine Lower Body. I would think the Serpen...

I've found that you get more from a kind word and a loaded .45, than just a kind word. Sadly, most people find this approach offensive. I believe the problem is that ALL ROADS MUST GO THROUGH KS AND KS ALONE! He only has so many hours in a day. He needs to learn to delegate a bit more. If it's finan...

Unfortunately with PB, time estimates that are in months usually turn into years.

RiftJunkie

To: Premier and Galactus,
Thanks for the info, it sounds great. I'll have to get the Rifters for the additional material, though I disdain getting a Rifter for official content: that's what sourcebooks are for.

Need sourcebooks!

RiftJunkie

Well one thing to note is there are quite a few arboreal climbing snake species and ones very adept at climbing up rock surfaces even pretty sheer ones. Basically every scale acts as a finger and snakes have excellent control of them and how they are engaging the surface they are going on. Size is ...

RiftJunkie

Well, I’m trying to come up with a combo that would allow me to climb well with a serpentine body. I’d hate to have only my hands holding on with a long thingy just dangling about. If it couldn't apply to a serpentine body, are there any suggestions? (I only have the main book and Rifter 60 right no...

RiftJunkie

YIPPIE!!!!

RiftJunkie

Maybe it's complicated, maybe it's not..... If you wanted to spend the Bio-E for Hands: Suction Cups and Gripping Hairs (for a pair of hands and feet) and Hands & Feet: Non-Skid Pads ](for a pair of hands and feet) would those bonuses transfer to the Serpentine Lower Body? I don't see why not, b...

RiftJunkie

I'm still kinda new to Splicers, so bear with me.....

When you add Mega/Omni/Super/Ultra to something like a Casting Thrower, does it remain when you grow it to a Casting Launcher or do you need to get the Upgrade again?

Thanks in advance.

RiftJunkie

I would agree that e-clips are weapon specific, but I don't run them that way in my games with FSE and Russian G-clips. Phase World and in the Merc books describe adapters for Naruni/3G e-clips to Earth e-clips. The universal recharger in one of the Merc books also mentions an adapter to charge Naru...

try emptying half a mag of .45 with any kind of accuracy. I'm pretty sure that I could place 3.5 rounds in a decent grouping in 2.5 seconds. Just something to remember here: a C-18 is an energy weapon. No recoil. No sound. Only a quick beam. On a side note, I'm still having a hard time figuring why...

Honestly my current tattoo warrior who is not even as strong as an undead slayer would be pretty much has for equipment a loin cloth a cloak and a back pack holding food/drink and the few bits of loot he has bothered to keep. Tattoo warriors/undead slayers are one of the truly few OCC that can just...

RiftJunkie

So far, pretty much as I expected. I just got to wondering if the TA's might have a "brand" preference. Magic is definitely a huge part of their culture, but I don't see them just tossing aside tech. It would be real easy to rely only on tat's. Tech weapons may make it easier to hide/blend...

While the whole "D-Day Invasion Build-up" sounds cool, why Dino Swamp? They are Dimensional hoppers. Wouldn't build-ups likely be around Stone Pyramids at various locations and/or dimensions. They can coordinate to rift into multiple strategic locations at the same time. Resupply/reinforce...

RiftJunkie

They get an E-Rifle and E-Pistol to start (besides the Tats, duh). Being Dimension hoppers; what would be their LIKELY weapons? Most anything COULD be on the table, but I'd like to know what you think they should have.

RiftJunkie

Nobody mentioned that "Wrath of God Destroyer" tank thingy out of Naruni Wave 2? There's a 1 person tank. As to the OP: It's Rifts: if the PC's are tough, give them tougher/more bad guys to deal with. Availability/cost of repairs/ammo/fuel... whatever it is doesn't have to be easy/cheap. T...

RiftJunkie

Ok, I'm very thankful to hear that we are getting Byzantium. I am however disappointed that we are still waiting for Land of the Damned 3! Is this going to turn into a Dimension Book 9 kinda thing?

RiftJunkie

I also overlook the Robot or Android OCC/RCC.
Psi-Tech and Gizmoteers (N&S and Amaki) are pretty good and somewhat underrated.
Mind Bleeders are cool, but I think I prefer the Psi-Slayer. They get Bleeder powers too.

RiftJunkie

Shifter O.C.C. - Lots of spells and can summon minions to make up for his or her own deficiencies. Demigod R.C.C. - A good selection of powers and a full OCC. If the GM allows, an RCC too. Robot R.C.C. - Need a skill? Just download it and you're golden. Dragon Hatchling R.C.C. - Shape shifting, psi...

What modifications can you see the CS make to better fight the demons/deevils? Here's one of mine: CS Special Forces Striker SAMAS - Take off the C-40R rail gun and replace it with (2) C-200 rail guns with the heavy ammo drums. C-40R is 92 lbs with 190 lbs for the ammo drum for a total of 282. C-200...

I think the master psionic is a misprint. It doesn't make sense for them to be a full on psychic class, mechanically, while still gaining their other training...but there's a while other thread about that. Yeah, I get that. It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It'd be nice if it was more clear.

Not to screw with another thread even though they are related. The Reaver Assassin OCC has 1% Master Psychics. How is this done? Do you take a Burster with all of it's given abilities and then wipe out skills to replace with Special Reaver Assassin OCC Bonuses and Reaver Assassin OCC skills? Th...

One of my most fun characters was a Lycanmorph from the Mind Werks book. Low IQ, rifted to North America where he was adopted for a while by the party I was playing with.
