I love alternate universe and all the possibilities of them. While I never did any for Rifts, I've used a few in my HU game. The characters were only on them for a short time so they didn't learn much about them. Super Police World - An immortal hero used a bunch of money to fund and run a super tea...

So how effective would a military sniper be in HU vs all the superheros/supervillians? Very effective, depending on who they are facing. Of course it's necessary to factor in alignments when adding in a sniper since I really doubt a group of Principled heroes is going to team up with one unless he ...

My concern about teelporting into moving vehicles is the possible damage taken from the vehicle colliding into a static location of teleport. If teleporting into an open cab, you might still get slammed into the back of the vehicle. Teleporting into a seated position would probably need to be done ...

Alteration Limitation maybe? Might work. Think I should drop the teleportation ban and instead make it a different power? I dunno. I am all in favor of a different power along similar lines, however. Glad to have you back. I'm not exactly back. I might pop in now and again but I doubt I'll post lik...

I did it in my campaign. I specifically created a few villains for the heroes and how the players played them. One character, a hardware, worked hard for everything they had. I created a character based around being lucky enough to have the right super powers and the mentality that stealing the hard...

I really can't think of a name for this one. Most of the time, I come up with a name first and then the power falls into place. Sometimes I come up with the meat of the power but a decent name never pops out. This one was difficult because of what I wanted it to do. I was thinking of calling it Ban ...

Sure, push it back. Or move it forward. Either way I voted yes since maybe then we could actually have an Open House this year.

Well I'm glad I live nearby and didn't have to stay at a hotel. I'm allergic to that, and I'd have been likely to call the police so I could breathe.

I like the Ultra Claws power. I really wish I had taken more time to finish the one I created. It seemed to have potential, but I'm guessing I got lazy. Here's one that just popped into my head.

No, I haven't come up with anything new to add to this thread. I just felt like resurrecting it in case anyone found it useful to add into their campaign.

Yes, rolling under a natural AR means no damage. All this ability does, beyond the extra D6, is change how the AR works in this case. Normally stuff just bounces off, in this case it passes right through. It's a minor cosmetic change, though it could be useful in some situations. It's possible Carme...

I cheat horribly when it comes to powers. Typically I will see something whiz bang, on a trading card, on the TV, in another RPG, and I summ it up in a word. from that word, usually a week or so later, comes the power, which i usually write and outline for the very frst time in the post in which yo...

I'm embarrased to say that I have hardly any HU books, and mostly everything I know from second-hand experience.

Ok, I posted a revised version of Teleport in the New Powers thread. I hope people like it. If not, make up your own.

MrTwist

Because of another thread, I decided to revise the Teleport power from HU2 a bit. I've always felt it was a little lacking and should grow with experience. In this revision it is initially weaker but becomes better quickly when the characters grows in level. I added the Reaching, though I wish I cou...

This is that power I mentioned a little bit ago, in response to a post by Iczer. Quickfist(minor) "Yeah, I got an extra hand." This strange power allows the person to create a translucent energy-based limb that lasts only a moment. Since it lasts only a moment, it isn't much use for comple...

Sorry, but what's an APM, and what do you mean the "Character gains an extra die from all stat boosting powers and skills attained at character creation?" I'm guessing it's referring to the bonus dice gained by a skill or power. Therefore, if skill x gives you 4D4 to SPD, then because of ...

I don't like the way Teleport is presented in HU2. I modify it so it's range is 2 miles + 1 mile per level of experience. So at level one it's 3 miles, level two it's 4 miles, etc... This way it improves with the level of the character just like I think most powers should. I always thought that abo...

They do not get more spells per level but can learn more spells if they're taught. Nekira. And no, an offical answer exsists nowhere in canon. That's kind of what I was leaning towards.

"I pull every point from every attribute. Now I put everything back, doubled." I'm not saying the power is a bad idea, actually it's rather cool, just that a bit of tweaking might be necessary. This could be like a "supercharge" ability, only it has half (third? quarter?) the du...
