As Prysus said RUE doesn't use the term strike for ranged weapons Is that what Prysus said? I must be going senile. I'm going to have to let this go, because I'm just not getting it... Thanks for trying. - s.west Greetings and Salutations. You're not going senile. As Prysus, I will ...

Ranged weapons use Aim, Burst and Called Shots instead of strike for the attack bonus. Greetings and Salutations. As pointed out, Archery has bonuses to strike. Also, with the RUE rules, Modern Weapons do have a bonus to strike. I'm at lunch at work, so I can fact check more when I get home, bu...

Well, I was looking at the shield bash damage, and it's way too high. It's 2d4. That's the same damage as a sabre or a cutlass. That's way too high, right? I always thought it was 1d4. Was it ever? -Veknironth "1d4 Might even be too high." Greetings and Salutations. As oth...

Well, we had a situation today in which a longbowman was engaged in melee combat with an ogre weilding a lucern hammer. The Longbowman had his longbow in hand. On one occasion he parried with his longbow. I don't think there is anything in the book denying this, but my gut instinct is that bow ...

Prysus

Well, all of that is true, but the line "Any time an attacker rolls a successful hit, the defender can choose to parry, dodge, or Entangle." does not mean that a person can only attempt to parry when the attack is successful. It means that if the attack is successful, you can attempt to p...

Prysus

From that, it seems that determining the success of the strike (step 4) comes after the defender declaring an action (step 3). Greetings and Salutations. For the record, the quote is both accurate, and also irrelevant. Let's look at the situation closer. Page 44 that you quoted ...

...The rule book makes it clear that when multiple people tie for initiative you reroll... Where does it say that? Greetings and Salutations. PF2 main book, page 43 (Combat Rules), Step 1: Initiative, 4th sentence: "In the case of a tie, reroll." Hope that helps. Farewell and safe...

Prysus

Well, I guess it's time for me to throw some more gasoline on the fire. To contradict something Prysus said, you can use a simultaneous attack against someone who attempts to strike you but misses. That's the best case scenario. You merely need that opponent to be attacking you so that you ...

Prysus

Where does it say that you have to use your next action? Is it impossible for a player that rolled highest on initiative to say "I'm going to wait for my opponent to attack before striking myself because I want to start with a simultaneous attack"? Would you tell them "no, you mu...

Prysus

Well, I was looking over the description in the main book on page 46 and I have a question. It says you lose the automatic parry if you execute a twin attack, but for how long? Is it the entire combat? Is it just the combat with that opponent? Is it just for that melee round and it's refreshed ...

I noticed the excel template at the palladium store says it needs excel 16 or above to work. Has anyone used an older version. I have office 2007 and I don't want to buy a new version just to use a template. Has anyone here used office 2007 or 2010 to view this template??? Emerald Greetings and...

Prysus

Greetings and Salutations. So I looked it over a bit more, and found a few things I'll point out. Note: I did not go over every formula or anything remotely close (as that could take a very long time), but I played around with it a bit just to see what jumped out at me. 1: Typo on "...

Thank you everyone for the great feedback and suggestions. I am in the process of editing/updating the file and will release it as soon as it is done. Any more questions? Keep them coming! Greetings and Salutations. I bought this a few weeks back just to check it out (I don't actually play ...

Prysus

I would like to thank everyone whom answered for the time they took in responding, and the fact that the responses seemed generally positive and without some of the aggression some of he previous posts seemed to have between members. Greetings and Salutations. I'd like to think, in general, we&...

Greetings and Salutations. Just for the record, while I wouldn't call the Adventures on the High Seas rule a Rifts rule, I would call it an imported rule. This is a rule taken from one source and moving it to another. I'd reserve the term House Rule for something that I've made up whole...

I went through reading these posts and was quite interested in how people seem to just like to argue. While normally I find myself on the opposite side as Drewkitty, in this instance I'm finding what he posted was most relevant to the conversation and am not sure why people are attacking him in...

But none of them say that all Rifts chars get a native language. Show me a citation for that in a Rifts book. Huh? What's native language have to do with anything? Greetings and Salutations. This I believe extends from the Temporal Warriors thread, and the poster got confused which thread had t...

I was wondering if there was a Character Generator for Heroes unlimited and its affiliate books, Like the one created for Rifts and Fantasy? I love the streamlined Character design. [snip] If there is not one made, Is there one in development? I would make an attempt, but I no next to nothing about...

So a few days ago I got a notification on Youtube that there was a new video from PB and it was Rifts Automatic Character Sheet . I was a little surprised because I hadn't seen anything about this in the weekly updates and it was still missing. Has anyone seen this mentioned? Did I just miss it...

Five years on, anyone know if there is any movement on KS writing/adapting/approving a manuscript for this nation of Palladium? Being that it's one of the oldest human kingdoms/realms in PFRPG, and despite being the poorest of the Human Kingdoms, seems to survive as a nation (and even maint...

Prysus

Greetings and Salutations, I'll start with I prefer the stance of adding abilities to make Men at Arms stand out instead of stripping abilities from other classes, as proposed. As for the monks, as written, their weapon is the staff and/or spear, and they have W.P.'s for both in their O.C.C...

Prysus

I had an idea today that I thought might be worth incorporating into this set of house rules: +Only men-at-arms can take any W.P. -Non-men-at-arms can only select W.P.'s for weapons that the character also uses as tools. Greetings and Salutations. I didn't quote the whole post for space. Al...

Hi, Anyone know where to find the Wolfen Hand to Hand table skillset. Thanks for help! Greetings and Salutations. There's nothing official, to my knowledge, but there has been some fan content. This thread has a link to 2 Wolfen martial arts, as well as those for other races. https://palladiumb...

For making maps I was considering buying campaign cartographer since its on sale now for half price. Has anyone used it? and if so how long does it take to get somewhat proficient with it? Pretty much any map-making software is going to have a learning curve. I'd say look at the products of a f...

Greetings and Salutations. Rifter #59 has an article by Paul Herbert titled: The Lion, The Ditch & The Warlock. This is an adventure that takes place on Lopan during the games. The author loved Palladium Fantasy (and I hope still does, but haven't seen him around for a while) and wa...

Hey guys, I have the core Fantasy book, and just the 1st Old Ones book. If I could only get say two or three other books, what would you recommend? I'm most interested in either the Eastern Territory and making my own petty kingdom or maybe do a sea based game. Thanks! Greetings and Salutations...

Prysus

Anyway, your saying that gods are they're own race who depend on the worship from a mixture of races just incase one of those races get wiped out. That's Cool. I"m just more in the habit of thinking of the Deities and Demi-Gods from AD&D. I thought each race has their own pantheon....

On page 294 of the main rule book for Palladium Fantasy, it says that dwarves worship a number of deities and yet, I can only find one that is a Dwarf. Belimar, on page 174-175 of the book Dragons and Gods. I assume they mean gods from the other races as well. Greetings and Salutations. Gods from o...

Man are man at arms Boring. Psionic characters and Magic users of all types get spell / power after spell / power as they level up, Greetings and Salutations. In general, I agree with this sentiment.

Well my Game Master answers me by stating that and I quote "Normally Dwarfs will stay away from Magic occs since they swore off magic after the elf dwarf war". Now, that was all I could get out of him, without needling him more about the Tinkerer article in said Rifter. In fact I did show...

Greetings and Salutations. I believe they were supposed to go into some of this with the Old Kingdom books, but those books never came out. As a result, we are left to fill in the blanks. The racial write-ups give is a good starting point though. Maybe someone else can give you a reference I'm ...

Prysus, point of order regarding your arrow heads... Bodkins were made of unhardened iron, and appear to have been intended as a cheaper lighter, and *possibly* longer-range head than a broadhead. Other than that, seems good! Greetings and Salutations. I wrote that many years ago and can't reca...

Prysus

> I'd also go into different kinds of arrowheads... broadheads which do more damage if they get through AR, armor-piercers that reduce AR, at the very least. Greetings and Salutations. Well, fletchers make arrows and bowyers make bows, so I'm not bothered by Fletchers not going into bow det...

Interesting... I'm tempted, but not (quite) enough info on the website. How many pages is it? $9 (US) for 150 pages is WAY too expensive. For 500 pages, high, but doable. I still have some birthday money! Greetings and Salutations. DriveThruRPG has it listed as 238 pages. This i...
