While I wouldn't argue that it's the most powerful my party is getting obscene milage out of the Herbologist (WB 3) I'm running. Does it do anything flashy? No. Am I throwing large numbers around? No. Does most of their stuff fall into adding numbers to other numbers and then forgetting about it? Ye...

If buying other people's ******** was an acceptable excuse IRL people would have a lot more sympathy for terrorists than they do. Was the first thing you though when you heard about the attack on the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, "I know they did a bad thing but it's not their fault. The...

What's he doing as not a rabbit other than annoying everyone else at the table?

Turn him into a rabbit or something until a task is preformed

Coalition States aren't nazis, they're just presently lead by an emperor who studied a bunch of dictators and learned from them, not excluding the dictator of the Nazi regime.

No they are Nazi's.

Return the stolen vehicle + damages (damage to the vehicle, lost wages incurred, etc.) + Punitive damages. Probably 30-130% of the vehicles cost depending on how rich the party is. Basically just bankrupt your party and then let them deal with punishing him

I'm partial to Chaosium's BRP system. If you don't want the lovecraft specific stuff, some of the setting books have things from folklore. Conversion may be a pain but it shouldn't be too bad.

http://cubicle7.co.uk/our-games/cthulhu ... -folklore/ is a really good one.

I like herbalists/druids. Not because there is any hard level 1 cheese but you get a broad suite of powers and as an added bonus most of your abilities work through your party. They kinda slump after the party starts acquiring real resources but they never fall off hard.

Their is a pay scale for CS troops in one of the books. I forgot which and haven't seen it in years so take the following with a giant grain of salt. Rough equivalencies (this is a best guess YMMV) Dogboy = unskilled-kinda skilled labor (day laborers - rank and file in an IT farm) Deadboy = blue col...

*snip* Just to elaborate, we just uparmored our mountaineer and put a popgun on it. Its nice being able to drive into the city and park in a public garage rather than having to park the giant robot 5-10 miles from the city limits. People are a lot less likely to try to steal/sabotage/vandalize the ...

Get Rifts (and other Palladium properties) into the Kindle Worlds program. This. Without a doubt the best part of Rifts is the setting. Also just hosting some fan made stuff official somewhere on the site would be nice. A few of the better character sheets, just simple form ones with some basic aut...

Being a ley line walker and not having that FoM spell that converts MD to SDC for a couple minutes after your armor is blown up, why even cast? Well, not everybody has that spell, but my example was really just meant to illustrate the kinds of situations that can kill PCs. We've never had a Juicer ...

The group I run with has a rule that as long as the players don't use 'save vs death/horrendous amounts of suck' the GM doesn't either that way if the players want to introduce this sort of thing into the game then it's their fault when they get one shot by it.

Anything that gets 25% of your troops killed is a **** idea. It may be the best of a lot of bad ones but its still ****.

Yea MRMs are cheap compared to risking a 20 million dollar plane. Replacing M.D.C. is almost always more expensive than damaging it in the first place.

One thing to remember is that the tallest nail gets hammered down. The radar range of fixed installations is thousands of miles. This means that if you are moving through someone's territory they will see you and because you are flying around you are interesting enough to investigate or just shoot d...

IGNG

I don't get why GMs seem to have this problem. Anything your players can do is fair game for you too.

IGNG

NG just sells it to shell corporations that don't really exist who make it disappear. The CS isn't going through NGs books but if NG has a block of equipment for same one day and it disappears the next they ask about it. NG basically just lies.

IGNG

The NG books make it very clear that NG does not 'officially' sell anything to anyone the CS dislikes.

IGNG

Heck, I am already guilty of buying into your implications by assuming the diplomat even died. It is possible to move the living in body bags. Ok, seriously? I guess that answers the question I'd been kicking around. I wasn't sure if you were just someone who had been playing CS or their supporters...

No, but it does say that they will kill you just for existing.

You do realize that you can miss a called shot right? If you make more than a few you WILL miss one.

As I said, no CS soldier is ever going to be prosecuted for it. But that doesn't mean it's SOP and that all units do it. Just because it isn't spelled out anywhere (and why should it be no one can read) being executed for not doing it Is official policy. How about summarily executed, by CS troops, ...

operating procedure for CS troops everywhere. It seems more like one particular group going to excess. And you're gonna get that in warfare. It sucks, but that's what it is. It was SOP for all CS soldiers in SoT. This. Find me one example of someone in the CS military being tried for killing nonhum...

If Prosek didn't know about it its only because he didn't think to ask and no one told him because they know he would approve. The first 20 or so pages of Heroes of Humanity makes it very clear that if Prosek didn't order it, its only because he just assumed that it was going to be done anyways. Whe...

No, they wouldn't decide that everything in dead boy armor on the entire planet needed to die after one shot back at them. They would just think the idiots who glued sticks onto themselves needed to die, after all they are obviously parts of different hives.

Murdering entire villages that have been found to harbor potentially dangerous enemies is not moral, but that's a pretty clear reference to the My Lai Massacre in Vietnam.

Thats a lot of meta-gaming for several thousand people and tens of thousand of summoned minions to make.

There is no average. You could start by throwing some of the NPCs from would book 11 page 133 at them. If that's too much of a joke find something a bit tougher, rinse and repeat until you find what is appropriate. Without having the parties character sheets in front of me and knowledge of your play...

Well yes, there is that.

It should be noted, however, that the xitixic might not realize that humans of Tolkeen are the same species as the humans of the CS since they look so different. They wouldn't.

Second, with D-Bees you're talking about non-humans. That makes it more understandable. I'm not sure it makes it more forgivable. Doesn't have to make it right. Just makes them better than Nazis.

The problem with making as little change as possible is... He wiped a city off the map. That's a pretty big change. There was no reason for the CS to win. They could have lost and the setting wouldn't have changed. And other than tolkeen no longer being on maps what precisely change? Also if Rifts ...

That's actually my point. There was a tremendous fog of war effect going on through the entire Siege. The CS and Tolkeen didn't have the perfect intel oversight that we, the readers were given. Instead, they had to deal, not only with bad intel, but with their own biases further clouding what intel...
