13. How many times can a character parry? Can John parry(automatic) an attack from bill and mike and still have his attack to use? Answer: A character can parry equal to their number of attacks (actions) per melee round. If they have automatic parry then can also still attack. So a parry, automatic...

Manhunter has the Mulka, and that's all you need to know.

I'd expect him to have TW weapons.

We have Mutants in Orbit and the Three Galaxies. Are you looking for stuff in our solar system, or?

This seems to have a lot of assumption about the cost of living in luxury and safety on Rifts Earth and the potential for reliable investments. Depends on where you are, but there is a good deal of potential for reliable investments. For example, Wilk's and Northern Gun are both very successful bus...

Yes, and sorry.

If they start, the former GB pilot can...*gasp*...move. Yup. And wouldn't it be nice to have a GB to lift the heavy boxes? (Or, you know, just to have in case you have to move someplace less safe?) They can get another suit of power armor and still have many millions left over. Personally, I'd get ...

And the Page 16 quote doesn't even explicitly state that the specific Maxi-killer process works, just a bio wizard process.

So you sell you power armor, and you retire to live a life of luxury, until you run into the bandit who didn't sell his. If you live in Lazlo or somewhere safe in the NGR you should be just fine. /Sub And in America, you can trust the cops to protect you. So who needs their own gun? I didn't say he...

Where does it say that Brodkil and Gargoyles can? Because on page 54 of Juicer Uprising it says "...Shapeshifters, major or master psychics, practitioners of magic, creatures of magic, and supernatural beings cannot undergo this treatment." Which sort of rules out Brodkil, Grgoyles, Godli...

Why can't they? If Brodkil and Gargoyles can, I'd think the Godlings and Demigods could as well.

Yeah, but Glitter Boys seem to exemplify the issue.

I'm rather partial to the whole Carpet of adhesion combined with River of Lava . Lava = 2d6x10 per melee .. (lasts for 1 min per lvl of caster.

Why? Why would we assume that they have a high percentage of experienced folks and non-combatants? The people of Char live in the swamp, they do not all have H2H skills, high levels and most of them would be non-combatants....ditto in fact with the Atlantian populations where we actually see them.....

Take a Hawrk-ka RCC (Atlantis p75) which is completely immune to magic. Add the Maxi-Killer (aka Bio-Wizard Juicer augmentation) from Juicer Uprisings, p53. The combo is expressly permitted on JU p54, and you get a warrior with: - 4D4x10 plus 2D4x10+60 MDC (average of 210) - Additional natural armo...

Godlings are cool because they can be up to two different spell casting classes at once, ditto with Lizard Mages, unfortunately, they are both so powerful that there is seldom a good opportunity to play one.

So I keep thinking about the ROI for the sales value of a Glitter Boy versus the ROI of keeping it, and I have to say a person would either have to be REALLY dedicated or be the owner of a mercenary company/army that profits a lot more than the predicted salary for such to actually keep one. Prices:...

Viriltas has the right of it from a straight reading. If three people are attacking you, you can attempt a free parry against all of their attacks (even if they each have 6 attacks per round, for example), but if four people with only four attacks per round are attacking you, you have to pick three ...

I'd say Mack has the right of it for it being a canonical statement...however... The population density is greater than that which was quoted...it's MORE than Manoa, not equal to Manoa.

I would argue that juicer conversion is difficult because Wormwood natives are mega damage creatures. Can the bio-comp recognize the need to heal after damage when you have MDC to recover? Can the drugs to amp recovery do anything for MDC? You need to modify the injection system to get into the blo...

I can see what you're saying, but what if the rounds are like 1kg of tungsten or depleted uranium? they'd still be pretty small, and that weight could carry down range a significant distance and still be effective, right? It helps, but even a 500lb artillery shell uses a shape that minimizes energy...

Don't forget the weight of the ammunition.

I disagree completely. You're allowed to do that. First off: Why would the CS send a 3 man "squad" out 400 miles from the nearest settlement? It's called a 'hypothetical example.' It was meant to be a rather extreme example of someone who was unlikely to get help. This isn't the empire an...

Apply the Demigod package to a psychic RCC, take the psychic powers option, and then apply a psychic OCC.

I'd say it depends on the value of the people calling it in, the value of the area being protected, and the value of the target for which they are requesting assistance.

I think a Mechanoid mother ship is larger than a Dominator Star Fortress. The Mechanoid mother ship has wings the size of North America, whereas I thought the star fortresses were only the size of a small moon.

to elaborate on what Eli is saying.. the value of an item is the composite of the materials it is comprised of, and it's relative difficulty in being obtained. something that is common and easy to obtain is of less value than one that is less common and harder to obtain. this is why gold is more va...

Hm. I wonder how big the hangars were. If they were the size of the blimp hangars in the Tustin area, that's pretty frickin' big, and you could fit a thousand or more SAMAS sized vehicles in each one.
