Be a Juicer, then. It's a whole lot easier to sneak, and you get more benefits for sniping.

for flares, i doubt there are game stats. real world stats though should be obtainable. since this is a military weapon, i'd assume that illumination and signal flares are available. both go about 1000ft, usually fired straight up. both tend to burn at an illumination of around 30,000 to 75,000 can...

Not technically true. Yog-Sothoth or Azathoth could slaughter Cthulhu and his cults, on their own. That's because they are Elder Gods, which are FAR more powerful than mere Old Ones.

-20000 cool points for anybody saying Nuke or orbital bombardment on my posts. Sorry, but nukes are the only way to level the playing field between you and your supernatural enemies.

This might work, but only if a few things occur. First, no power on earth is going to stop them. But, you don't have to only worry about powers from earth. It would be quite possible to recruit a small army of Angels from Palladium to support your attack. Hell, they can function as both your air sup...

how would you take down lord splyncryth. I'd like to see tactics & other things you would use. First of all, Splyncryth is considered a supernatural creature, correct? If that was the case, then I'd just drop a few nuclear warheads, then send in an insertion team with full radiation gear and DU...

That is a GM problem not a mechanics problem..... if you stab the juicer randomly with a 1d4 knife I can buy that it wont hurt him much... but if you hold him down and slit his throat its not just 1d4+PS damage.....that is where the GM checks out the rules on automatic kills and deathblows and the ...

Still not in agreement that werecreatures becoming magi IS bending the rules. They're mortal (they don't live forever, they have limited lifespans) and they are not MDC.

There are rules for a pact to Gods of Light, it's in Megaverse Builder. Along with a lot of other pact options Also, there was nothing for linking to specific entities, like Nxla or the Lord of the Deep. Because specific, named beings don't get special pacts? That's the whole point of dividing them ...

All this for a giantsize brawler with a few thousand mdc. Lol. Point is, I'll allow it all.day. and never under estimate a pack or HERD of NERF. That 'few thousand MDC' is rather the point. When a first level character has MDC equal to that of an average adult dragon then maybe its not exactly by t...

Yes. The real cheat is bringing an Amaki Stoneman to WormWood. Then becoming a Titan Juicer. Lol. The Juicer Augmentations, as presented in the Rifts mainbook, RUE and Juicer Uprising (except for one) are human only Tech. No, they are stated as requiring the subject to be "95%" human"...

Raze_7

It's in Rifts: Underseas, with the Horune Dream Pirates and the Dream ships. However, from what I remember, it's not that good in combat, except for creating surreal massive pirate ships with MDC and lots and lots of guns.

Raze_7

So, if a Wormwood human, which is considered human in every regard except for having MDC instead of SDC and HP, were to undergo a Titan Juicer conversion, what would happen? Would it gain MDC?

Assume that it is to be an NPC villain for GM-approval purposes.

As far as I know, there is no Neural Knife, or any Neural version of a lethal weapon. It's kind-of pointless; why would you want to stun a dead man? Also, the Neural Mace is the mace that isn't. It's more like a baton that, on contact, feels like you're getting hit with either A) A mace, or B) Mace ...

So, in Rifts: UE, under the Shifter OCC, it states that "If the shifter is lucky, he will contact a benevolent being... these creatures of light seek to help humanity and see the Shifter as an ally rather than a pawn." However, the list provided below gives no definitively good creatures, ...

I would make an argument that a vehicle only gets an auto-dodge if it is either A) a passive-assist exoskeleton and the wearer has an auto-dodge without the armour on, B) if the equipment is "meshed" to the pilot via electrodes (see: How to Build a Robot Army, by Daniel Wilson, PhD), or C)...

Raze_7

The root of this Q gets to the Phaeton Juicer though (page 35). They can dodge even if piloting a vehicle that does not normally have one, such as a tank. Does this mean absolutely no tanks ever have a dodge? Or that unless explicitly indicated that they do, we assume they couldn't? I guess they co...

So I have a few players with Supernatural Strength. They came up with an idea. What would happen if they punched into the chest cavity of a vampire, pulled the heart out and crushed it. I have to agree with everyone else. However, this does bring up an interesting question. If a creature stabbed a ...

it is listed as a manifestation of itself (under Natural Abilities) I'm not seeing any 'manifestation of self' text there. Okay, this is a personal view.

Yeah, given Lovecraft's writing and PB's love for AI's, there's definitely the possibility for other (lesser) Old Ones not locked away in Eternal Slumber. As for stating them out............a few good suggestions have already been made above for templates (Nyxla, The Lord of the Deep, etc), but kee...

I have this fear that if you depleted Thoth's MDC instead of killing him it might just unlock the sleeping thing in side him... =/ Dosn't matter too much, his writeup says explicitly that even if he ever awakens to his true past, he will never be the evil person he once was and in fact won't even c...

Since a Borg can carry a Shaker Tri-gun, then I'd allow them to wear a smaller amount of GB armor, with slightly increased movement penalties.

I see he has been mentioned: If you have RIFTS: Pantheons of the Megaverse, just look at Apsu. In my mind he is a perfect template for a Riftsian Elder God. He is even in mystic slumber due to the actions of lesser gods. I ran a campaign (which my players affectionately called "The Big, Dumb, ...

Raze_7

Actually, it depends. Do you have a Glitterboy in your campaign? I think that you should be willing to give the characters with the tank (unless it's a single-person tank) a stronger tank than a GB, however, they have to work as a team to use it (unlike the GB, where you don't have more than one cre...

Raze_7

Well, as a tank-lover myself, I'd give it to them. Tanks are by no means overpowered (unless you're in an MDC version of one of the Land-Dreadnaughts from the Leviathan series), as technology is no longer the only opposition to technology. Remember, there are Psionics and Magics, too. Also, as a sid...

So, assuming one wanted to fiddle about with it, has anyone worked out how Time Lords (from Transdimensional TMNT) would get along in Rifts Earth?

So, according to all of the Rifts books, most of the major Old Ones are imprisoned in a super-magical slumber. However, seeing as, in the Lovecraft books, there were many, many Old Ones, some with different beliefs than others (one was even considered an aberation in RCB1, which felt compassion for ...

As for supernatural PS (or PS bonuses to SDC), unless there is some indication the sword has a physical base surrounded by flame, I would go with it being an energy weapon and only have the 4d6 HP.

The original HGW Martians are high SDC; they could get killed by lucky(critical) strikes with SDC cannon technology. Rifts Earth would VAPORIZE them.

I really like this, especially the modular system. However, I think that it should take the pilot at least one action to decide which weapons to hand over to the AFC. Otherwise, I think that it's really cool. One question, though: How do you decide what is balanced for power armor?
