2 miles sounds reasonable, and good. Thanks all!

DtMK

I thought I'd throw this question out to my fellow PB fans, and see what you think. I'm currently playing a type 2 Supersoldier from Powers Unlimited in a friend's game. I wanted to make him a good, well rounded guy. Navy SeAL, his abilities are Superhuman PS, Ext. PE, Ext. PP, and Ext. Speed. His s...

DtMK

I think the easiest thing without changing them too much is, give them the same limited invulnerabilities other beings can have. If werewolves or vampires aren't harmed by normal weapons, I say anything above a gargoyle in standing can only be hurt by magic, psionics or specific elements. You can gi...

DtMK

I think you're thinking of Rifter #12 for The Geiger Organization and Hugh Younger's Masks of Power. The Silver Mask creates Alter Physical Structure powers with its corresponding element. The way it's phrased, in theory, the mask could have ALL the CEF powers when they become that particular APS.

DtMK

Hmm, sounds interesting. Thanks!

DtMK

Interesting. I guess I just wanted some thoughts and input, a reaction, thoughts as to whether or not you'd consider using this as a back story or items for your own games, the usual discussion. Hell, this is one of the more creative things I've made in recent months, considering my writer's block, ...

DtMK

Bumpity bump bump.

Seriously, nothing?

DtMK

I changed the name of this thread a little bit to hopefully entice interest, and to bump it up a little. Also, I had a fun idea some time ago. Considering the potential power I have for my RPG character Totem when tapping into animal powers, I realized this could be fun for him to use when combining...

DtMK

Nice power, I approve!

DtMK

Also check out Aliens Unlimited, they have many aquatic and amphibious races that could be dropped in. I used one race to create Shakuda, the Mer-Manhunter once!

DtMK

I'd rule it as possible, real life physics and chemistry proves that enough heat could turn sand to glass. I'd rule it as the APS character with Sand powers could be fused to glass, partially mobile if just a limb were turned, or immobilized if the entire body were fused. I'd then rule to let the he...

DtMK

Ahh. Okay, my bad, I felt out of the loop there for a sec.

DtMK

But above said supernatural beings COULD be parted out to instill Eugenics in humans, right?

DtMK

Anyone else have any thoughts?

DtMK

Wait, could someone please tell me what book ExoMorphs are in?

DtMK

One, Supernatural PS is something that can be granted by Eugenics. Eugenics is something that in the HU world, is not just genetic engineering, but by taking DNA from aliens, monsters, etc. and splicing it into the character to create a certain effect. In short, Eugenics has to get their parts from ...

DtMK

Yes, Silverwolf and the Totems have Animal Metamorphosis: All as well as Copy Animal Attributes. Let's face it, next to guys who can fly, move mountains, shoot lasers out of their eyes and be living nuclear reactors, animal based heroes don't always get the respect they should. And when there's an i...

DtMK

Okay, let me clear that up. Totem was and is made exclusively for the Palladium game system rules, and the Heroes Unlimited setting. I posted this on my Facebook and copy/pasted it here. I said Heroes Unlimited because I was promoting Heroes Unlimited for an rpg. No conversions going on here, promis...

DtMK

Hi all! Long time no post! I'm having fun in my friend's superhero game using the Heroes Unlimited system, and since I'm actually able to play in a game under a friend who has GM'ed for decades, I thought I'd dust off a character I made for another game, Totem. A lot of people tend to underestimate ...

DtMK

I'm already working on this for a future game I plan on running. Here's a quick breakdown. All bionics and robotics, including in Aliens Unlimited, are available. Bionics are 1/2 book price, you can upgrade and cross robotics with it for full listed price. Bionic PS is equivalent to Extraordinary PS...

DtMK

Thanks to the guys in the chatroom, found it in Rifter # 46. Thanks again!

DtMK

I seem to recall a Rifter that had new mutant humans from After the Bomb, including a lopsided brute, a human with built-in light cells and others. Unfortunately for the life of me I can't recall which issue it is, and I looked in my Best of the Rifter, but it only goes up to issue 33. Could someone...

DtMK

Goliath the Trapdoor Monster!

DtMK

I'd still like to see what would happen if a DR zombie encountered other undead or similar monsters from other books. It'd be interesting to see the reactions and pecking order.

DtMK

Seems like love of the book is going strong. Good to see, considering the dire straits Palladium Books was in a few years ago.

DtMK

The largest spiders are tarantulas, with the largest known as the Goliath Bird-Eater.

DtMK

I'm working on an idea for a game setting that may not only help reinvigorate Bionics, but help to allow the low to no power categories a chance to shine again as well.

DtMK

It's a good addition, can't wait for Megaverse In Flames!

DtMK

I'm considering running a campaign set in the future for friends, and am considering making Bionic PS stats Extraordinary PS equivalent, then probably allowing the alien tech increases up to 40, then making Robotic limbs and Superhuman PS equivalent available to larger models, or specific limbs like...

DtMK

Combining Bionics with super abilities could work, some in comics actually have, with success depending on the tech. But sadly, Eugenics seems to have become the milkable stock among my players lately, what with 3 implants that could give powers without affecting the power category. I feel we need t...

DtMK

Some time ago, bionics and cybernetic conversions were all the rage. Man and machine combined into one, allowing superhuman senses or abilities at the cost of limbs or organs. Now the category du jour seems to be anything that grants powers like Mutants, Experiments, Eugenics, etc. Now don't get me ...

DtMK

You're quite welcome my friend! Glad to inspire!

DtMK

I'm not sure you're getting the point. Comic books, tv shows and other stories are full of young people or inexperienced being thrown into situations that may be well beyond them all the time. Sidekicks are a literary staple, who help us to imagine being alongside the hero, or even being the hero. R...

DtMK

A friend of mine is planning on running a Heroes Unlimited game, and one thing he wanted to stress was gaining abilities and developing in the game, seeing the world through new eyes as you become a part of it. A good idea, but I think most of the players in the group wish to play more mature member...

DtMK

Okay, but if you've played someone in a game with force powers, what did you quantify them to work as for you?

DtMK

Force fields, constructs and other abilities where an unquantifiable power can be manifested for offense and defense has been a staple for science fiction and superheroes for decades. It's also a concept that the nature of it hasn't quite caught up with explaining how it works, but we accept it. If ...

DtMK

Still, not a bad super yacht.

DtMK

Well, maybe not exactly. But a company called Yacht Island that designs unique giant super-luxury vessels created a design they call Project Utopia as a giant floating city. But take a look in Rifts South America 1 again and look at this. Doesn't it have a striking resemblance? http://inhabitat.com/...

DtMK

While on hiatus of running a game and in between employment at the moment, I find myself thinking of this game setting, and being rather proud of it. I was thinking of the crystalline humanoid race the Kapasi, and considering I was inspired both by the Basanites from Aliens Unlimited and the Power L...

DtMK

Thanks! I'm starting a new job, so posting the stats are going to have to be put on the back burner. But I thought at least this way, people may be inspired to make their own. I'd like to hear if anyone else ever ran a game with a setting and time similar to this one?

DtMK

Hi everyone. Just to try and keep my gaming group guessing, I started brainstorming about another possible game setting for them to end up in. And for the record, the following names I'm going to say for shows aren't conversions, just references. I may be telling my age here, but one thing that I lo...

DtMK

Ask and you shall receive! Personally I think it's nicely done, even having options to allow more characters a vast array of abilities closer to other comic book heroes.

http://www.lordhighrikonian.com/oldsite/rpg/ultra.html

Enjoy!

DtMK

In this reality, I'm also adding other beings who may have been repressed and downtrodden, or even abandoned like the Changelings, especially Changeling Metamorphs and the Erittimas from Aliens Unlimited. Shape shifting inquisitors and flying reptilians with energy swords? Why not?

DtMK

Ahh, more on the Toogarth. Very nice!

DtMK

Ahh, so now you're throwing around the 'c' word. Sorry, I was trying to make something that is an archetype, some beings with abilities like these are androids. Others are living beings. All immensely powerful with their own limitations as well. Put bluntly, no single power category can cover what i...

DtMK

Thanks Her0man0. Like I said, this particular creation defies specific categories, as it could be created by several types of beings, thus be different but not warrant its own power category. But what gets me is the confusion about my ego or lack thereof. If you're looking for someone to tell you ho...

DtMK

For a being made to take on an entire group, I'd say it's very fair.

DtMK

Also covered in the description. If it's an Artificial Intelligence, then standard rules would apply in the Robotics section. If it were someone rebuilt into this body or transferred intelligence, then use the skills of whatever person that would be.

DtMK

At the time, the important thing was to make it possible to be played in a game, the background is something that can be done in game and added later.

DtMK

Maybe if there are enough smart people out there that get together to voice how stupid it is. The KS will change course to something that is not stupidly wrong. Just look at Egypt and Tunisia, they over threw their dictators because people came together to make a change. It's possible, but haven't ...
