I would have to go with "NO"

Religeon does not require Intelligence.

Rimmer

Yay, another stupid rule I can ignore, my the choices so many.

Rimmer

Official answer ??? Zero made a funny

Rimmer

Back in First Ed, one PC started making "Hand Grenades" with his diabolist, cannot remember what wards he used, was to long ago, he even called them "Holy hand grenades of Antioc" I forgave that one, but when he started to make "Summoning Grenades" I called it a day !

Rimmer

Will wait till I can peruse a copy before buying, don't buy "sight unseen" anymore after being so disappointed at RSC.

Rimmer

To slow to answer

as posted above.

My coalition PC's simply use a skelebot to charge all of the eclips on the run, it can charge a long clip in about 90 seconds.

He's called "Sparky"

Rimmer

Or just make sure you have an operater in the group.

IIRC, the GBs in MiO don't have Boom Guns. Yes they do, the new on has the option to install it and the original has it as a it's standard weapon. In fact they are modified with a better rocket suppresion system so they can fire the boom-gun without using the laser pylons. Actually, they still have...

1.5 Edition (1st with PPE)

Rimmer

Just wondering if anyone has alternate H2H table for first edition, the main reason is the Palladin, Knight, Soldier tables.

IMHO

The best to worst list should be Palladin, Knight, Soldier but is the other way around. I have some house rules but would like to hear some others ideas.

Rimmer

A large enough Cyborg could also fire it, at least it is insinuated on page 102 Bionics sourcebook.

Rimmer

One of the more common house rules that I have seen, is doing away with the percentages for skills and giving them a direct bonus instead, which is then tied to whatever skill is most appropriate. EG: Prowl at %55 would become a straight +5 bonus tied to PP or whatever. The stat that was used would ...

Rimmer

I dislike the fact that Stats have very little effect on skills, Example, the scientist with a high IQ and low PP, is going to be better at gymnastics than the thief with the reverse stats. Weapon scale damages is a major problem, as is ranges. The numerous Strength levels, the less said about them ...

Rimmer

Sorry, I didn't actually mean to sound quite so flippant The book you are after is called the "Compendium of Contemporary Weapons" is has a picture of a guy holding two machine guns and wearing a gas mask. A few house rules will see you right. Unfortunatly, as you read more and more from P...

Rimmer

Don't worry, you will find many more where that came from.

Rimmer

My borg just uses silver spray paint.

Rimmer

Hi all, does anyone here have any standard equipment lists for various police forces, Beat Cop, Police car, SWAT, detectives etc ? just putting the finishing touches on a setting and need a base to start from !

Cheers

I was SO looking forward to the 2nd edition and when it came out and I bought it, It was horrible.

Most of the old timers on these boards play PF this way, commonly refered to as Edition 1.5 I also got the 2nd edition, and got rid of it just as quick.

Rimmer

I think I will just stick with Savage Worlds, at least there you get official answers. If you think that's easier than posting your questions in the FAQ section here, have fun... Hmm... At PEG's forums I type in my question on their forum, same as you say i should do here. There I get only official...

Rimmer

Little tweaks is how it starts, then you find you have to write them down, then you have to organise them so you can find them, its a vicious circle that you cannot escape.............

Rimmer

When will these boards get a spot so that people can ask questions and receive official answers? The FAQ section is as official as it gets. Till things get published in a book. That is rather sad. You ain't seen nothin yet Welcome to the wonderful world of Rifts, where your house rule folder usuall...

We used to use a system with an armopur reduction thing. EG: AR 10, SDC 50 The armour can only absorb 10 points in one hit, the rest goes to the wearer, once SDC is gone, all damage goes to the wearer. Not the most elegant system i have ever come up with but it did seem to work, but then again i was...

How does 3D4x10 MDC equal 101 Damage ??????

The CS illiteracy makes no sense, especially for soldiers. Drill Sergeant: "What's your second general order?" Private: "Hell if I know, we don't get issued soldier's basic manuals, so I couldn't spend any time memorizing those." But its canon. Whether it makes sense or not, we ...

Would a solar powered hero be more powerful in space ? assuming either a space suit or some sort of ability to survive a vacuum. No. With the exception of ability #4, none of the abilities and bonuses of the Solar Powered power are affected by the amount or intensity of available sunlight; they onl...

Rimmer

Yeah, even though the book never said so, And it's likely PB would say maybe, I go with yes. For starters ►Reduce the time needed to absorb your Daily requirement/allotment of Solar energy to 2 hours (verses 6 hours), and reduce this further to 30miniutes when in Rifts Environments. ►Increase regen...

Rimmer

at most I would apply the speed multiplyer to ExSpd, not sonic speed nor any flight powers. The only problem i can see then, is that the minor power of Ex Spd, becomes faster than the major power of Sonic Speed. as in an aquatic alien, mystically bestowed (x5 spd), from a heavy gravity world (x3) w...

Rimmer

as so to be unpopular..... In practise by palladium staffers, and in keeping with their notes.... Speed bonuses and speed multipliers apply only to the Spd score. EXCEPT when it's a reduction. In theory this means that a person with a Spd score of 30 and sonic speed, who gets a speed doubler (from ...

Rimmer

So an Alien from a heavy gravity world, with the power of Sonic Flight, while on earth, would be able to fly around at Mach 3.

Rimmer

OK. We have just settled this argument in our group, but were wondering how others might handle it. Alien from a high gravity world gets his Spd, multiplied by three. Does this also apply to "Extraordinary Speed" Wingless Flight" or even "Sonic FLight/Speed" etc. EDITED: for...

Why the holy frack are all the CS guys fighting to the death? They don't wanna die. Surrender is better.

Depends on if you are playing before or after sorcerers revenge, even before it was considered that death was better.

I admit, I don't follow the rules as written. But that is because I have been gaming for more decades than I would like to claim. To me, the story is key, rules be damned. The rules are just a framework for the story that the players and I as the GM provide. So yes the RAW may not fit well, and dec...

I haven't game tested yet, that will happening in a few weeks. I'm trying to get my comprehension of the newer rules down before throwing myself to the sharks.

LOL, and people still wonder why my house rules folder has more pages than the RUE !

Rimmer

You can see in my above post a house rule for this, but no there is no canon rule for this other than "Its the GM's call"

Oh and I should have clarified a bit in my previous post. Nekira's answers are 100% correct, all my little tidbits are house rules we have come up with over the years.

Rimmer

If you have a sword can you parry someone is is trying to hit you with their fist? Of course A common house rule is that in order to parry in this situation, the parrying weapon has to be one handed, and shorter than an average arm length, eg: Sword, short sword, dagger, baton mace etc, claymores a...

Rimmer

I've genarally put paired weapons into the to hard basket for years, PB's take on them is stupid with a side of fries and I have never found a house rule that I like.

Rimmer

My biggest problem with Wizards in any of Palladiums games has been that they all look alike after a while, apart from level, which obviously effects any given spell, there is not much to seperate one wizard from another. True, one may know a spell or two that the other dosent, but thats about it. P...

Before RUE limited ammo supply CYA...HB I always thought that 100 shots was way more than enough myself. I don't think the one player I GM'ed years ago in a campaign was ever down more than 50 shots. Then he got a bunch of anti-vampire rounds later and used a 50/50 mix. And there was never a round ...

A general rule that has always helped me in this situation "If your can't carry it, you can't parry it"

Rimmer

Wilks CFT Auto Pistol, SDC ammo, Ramjet rounds, Laser rounds, cannot beat it for versatility.

I used to like plasma cartridge pistols, not so much anymore.

I could go into a long and discriptive essay about how we use the bi=onuses, where when and how etc. But the short story is "kinda like the psi power of sixth sense" yeah that about covers it.

Of course that brings to mind the essay on how we use sixth sense ?

The PC's squadron name has been "Deadley Jesters" for about 15 odd years now. Not sure if this name came from any real life source though.
