My apologies if this has been brought up elsewhere, but I could not find it. Lord Causticus in Shadows of Light...what the heck is he? The text swaps between calling him a Night Prince and a Nightlord. He has the SDC of a Nightlord, the PPE of a Night Prince, the Horror Factor of a Night Lord and I ...

wrong. It also looks like they did a cut and paste on his and Beth's. Poor editing. So I'll fix him and anyone else

That's deeply appreciated!

Here you go folks. Now for some reasons her stats didn't make any sense when I did a thorough examine of them. So, I made some slight adjustments to make her 2.5 compatible (meaning inline of three Powers Unlimited books). OLD BETH Real Name : She claims not to remember, but it is Elizabeth Pearson...

Thanks!

I couldn't find her in there, but I wouldn't put it past myself to have entirely missed her somehow.

Hello all! So, Old Beth seems to be missing a chunk of her character sheet in Mutant Underground. At absolute minimum she appears to be without either a Skill List or an Appearance/Description. While I'm entirely capable of making this stuff up, I was wondering if anyone knew of any errata for it. ...

Thanks to both of you! I've been spending quarantine trying to unravel various Rifts prophecies including Poor Yorick's (CW1 pages 43-45) and specifically 25-32. While I'm pretty sure it's just referencing the Mid-Atlantic Ridge the reference on here to a permanently open Rift spewing water made me ...

Hello all, I need your help finding something! I've come across mention on these forums of a permanently open rift in the ocean, possibly in the Atlantic, possibly near South America, that continually ports in water from somewhere else. I'm wondering if anyone here could help point me out to the boo...

Gadrin, check out pages 82-83, under abilty number 4, Night of Vengeance. Night Walkers are detailed there. mallak, your GM is full of it. THere's no mention, as I'm sure you know, of skills ever deteriorating on the Night Walker. I'm with Gadrin here, there are better ways to handle this kind of si...

Right you are. Nor has anyone implied otherwise.

First off, great game, Carmen! Second, I think some of you are taking it a tad too seriously. Frankly the premise of a large number of RPGs, movies, anime and fantasy novels collapses under close scrutiny. This does not make them bad games, movies, anime or what have you. In Rifts alone, the questio...

thraxus sure is a megapowerful godling... but his relation with the Palladum Joker is exactly nil Oh I'll grant you you're right as far as published material tells us, but it does lend itself to fun speculation, after all Thraxus was rumored to have somehow won or even stolen his godhood. Given his...

I actually agree that they would make wonderful allies (or terrifying ones) but in an all-out fight my impression is that the bugs would win. The description of Telemechanics provided in Systems Failure seems to indicate that it would not help counter bug-infested technology. However, this is guessw...

The Joker ran the Palladium of Desires. He was an extremely powerful being, who often gambled with the Gods. Literally. Poker, blackjack, etc. There are SUGGESTIONS that he was a God in his own right, but other suggestions that he was just a powerful being. Nothing DETAILED is ever mentioned on him...

Thanks to you as well, Maryann!

And I agree with Tyciol, there's gotta be a Defilers sourcebook someday.

There's a group of people out there called Midnight Syndicate that specialize in atmosphere soundtracks, mainly related to horror and spooky moods. Check 'em out.

Periodically in reading through various write-ups of deities and whatnot I've come across a mention of someone called 'the Joker of Palladium." At least one listing for him is under Thoth's allies in Dragons and Gods, but I know he've seen him mentioned in other places (in Rifts books I believe). Do...

On a sidenote to the whole supernatural strength/M.D.C. being thing...the Kydians from Rifts Atlantis are an S.D.C. race with supernatural strength.
Can you imagine the guesome propsect a barroom brawl between these guys?

Actually the plague he was referring to is mentioned in Rifts Dimension Book 5, Anvil Galaxy. It says on page 27 that 13% of all Seljuk are dying from a strange plague called the Retribution. They go on to give a bit more information on it, but to my knowledge that is the only reference that has eve...

I'm sure it's been said before but, Rifts Antarctica (see the ongoing thread). I'm sure in the years of expansion leading up to the cataclysm it was put to SOME use by the various nations. It'd be interesting to see what's become of it. Beyond that I really just want to see their promised books come...

I have to agree that KS basically just arbitrarily turned Tolkeen corrupt. Consider Plato's Edict of Planetary Distress in Rifts Sourcebook 2, The Mechanoids. In his Edict, Plato mentions proposing an alliance to most of the major North American kingdoms. Tolkeen recieves a very specific mention in ...

RE: SKILES (because you type as bloody much as I do use blank lines to separate paragraphs though ) I thank you for the more civil tone this time around. Rebuttal: Hand to Hand Skill restrictions are NEVER listed under the Physical skills section under OCC Related Skills. Thus, this point is void. ...

To clarify my stance, and indeed what I see as the key points on the pro-HtH side: 1. All the precedents in the books point to the idea that Vagabonds can take a Hand to Hand. -Specifically, Hand to Hand skills are listed as Physical skills, and Vagabonds are only specifically barred from taking Acr...

Skiles99

All the precedents established in the books point to the idea that Vagabonds can take a Hand to Hand. In most O.C.C. write ups, when a class specifically can't take a skill, it is mentioned, AND when a class specifically CAN take a skill, that is also mentioned. With the Vagabond, neither is listed,...

Makes sense to me. When in doubt, go with the math.

Not at all, they're just an optional RCC that happens to not have a hand to hand skill. In fact those babes are very... combative, yes... So do they just not start with it, or can they never ever take it? Ley line walkers don't start with HtH either, but they can take it. Frankly the Dakini is a ho...

Skiles99

Also I've yet to see any other PC OCC/RCC that does not allow you to take at least HtH Basic. Show me that, and I'll be more willing to change my mind... I was about to whip out the Capitalist Entrepenuer from mystic China, but it seems they start with HtH Basic. And they can upgrade to Commando? A...

Wasn't it mentioned someplace that NPCs dont always follow the strict rules for character creation? I think in the FAQs. Or maybe one of the books. I dont remember. Aye. I think it was covered in the old FAQ when someone asked why a lot of the NPCs didn't get the two attacks for living. Recent Pall...

No, not until I see an NPC vagabond that has a hand to hand skill. I'm not going to look, so it's up to those wish to prove it to do so.
