Hmmmmm As you're necromancer, I could summon a green, burning skull head and inflict some damage upon mine enemies. As a necromancer from the books, I could kidnap the child of mine enemy, summon 4 vampires, give the child to the vamps, drain off the PPE when they kill it and use the PPE to summon ...

To those that say the necromancer is too weak, here's a few notes for you: Death bolt: Don't really need to go into detail on a spell that will kill most people in two hits no matter what armor their wearing. Transfer life essence: Says that a necromancer can even transfer his soul into a puppet. T...

Blah blah blah. Get a grip, dude. You're not a "rebel freedom fighter" tearing down the "walls of blind acceptance", you're a little munchy dude trying (and failing) to argue for enhancements to an already powerfull class. Experience has taught me there's nothing more useless th...

Syndicate

Sounds like a plan, Syndicate. Good luck with it. For necromancers, however, I'd look at more than things that will allow them to strengthen their undead and animated hordes. *How about spells which allow them to draw more powers out of a corpse that they've bonded to? Like that T-man's arm you've ...

Syndicate

Thanks for your support (to some degree) Ahulane. I’ll consider the last of your comment to be a chip made against a wall of blind acceptance. Rehash time yet again. What I propose is not simply to make my “naked mage” a combat monster, or to over “munchkinize” this “perfect” system some so short-si...

Rifter #30?

Syndicate

a lot of flack? Where? When? I've heard scattered complaints, but i'd hardly call it "antiquitated" There are only 2 basic systems to character advancement: Point buy and leveling. one isn't older or better than the other, just different meaothods for the point buy. I speaking from what I...

Syndicate

Personally I think Necromancers have a great balance at the moment, yes it would be nice if there were a bit more spells but the ones that are there are just fine...I mean, how cool is Transfer Life Force + Zombie + Necromance has sniper and WP: E-Rifle @ high levels? spell lasts for 24 hrs a level...

Syndicate

Syndicate, the problem with home-brew spells is that they tend to be munchy and over-powered. If you want Necromantic-themed spells, I suggest you adapt existing, balanced spells as-needed. It's the approach that has the least chance of unbalancing your game. Fireblast could easily become Bone Blas...

Syndicate

I was hoping someone would post a few "home-brewed" ideas (yes, I know the first threaded message is for NEW spells), but I'll just post some of them here, and absorb feed-back. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS LIST IS NOT COMPLETE AND IS STILL UNDER REVISION...THIS IS JUST A GENERALIZATION OF ...

Syndicate

Something like that is epic in scale and largely beyond the abilities of a single practitioner, as far as I'm concerned. To be honest, the thread seems like your asking "permission" to apply some really munchy self-made spells to your necro because he doesn't seem powerfull enough to you....

Syndicate

Also remember Necromancers are generally expected to be an NPC OCC, and their abilities releft that. their powers need lots of time to be truely effective, which they can be. NPC's can be assumed to have however much time was convinet. also, for straight up combat? Death Word is the only combat spe...

NO one has expanded on Necromancy?

Well, I now have a mission...

Syndicate

Both valid and reasonable points (thanks). Perhaps another position must be discussed. I propose another "school" of necromancy (kind of like bone magic). Something with a bit more flare, and direct contact. Something to give a lone Necromancer a fighting chance. I'm a big fan of cinematic...

Syndicate

Recently, I've had a problem with players in my area. Power-gaming seems to be the theme often practiced with the locals. Of course, I have no issues with destroying the entire group because someone is a bit too strong. I've done it just recently in-fact (that group stopped playing with me... ) Trut...

Syndicate

No problem...

Syndicate

I've started to design a couple of necro-magic spells of my own (24 so far and need plenty of revision). After I receive a few spells created by others (hopefully), I'll post a couple of my own for criticism and revision.

Syndicate

As one of the most recognized and widely used types of magic found throughout Rifts Earth (and beyond) this school of arcane discipline seems a bit under-powered. Even following the "update" of bone magic (Mystic Russia), the average Necromancer still has to rely on "outside" inf...

Psychics. My group had quickly learned that I have a "soft spot" for Mind Melters and psychics in general. With the current supplements in Rifts world books and Rifters, a psychic can truly pose a threat to almost any class out there.

Calculate experience level as well. 6th level or higher should be around the high-end of 2D6x100,000, and likewise 5th level and below would be towards the lower end.

Hmm... What would win? Given that the CK moves not from the blast, would the SDF-1's cannon or the CK? Well...the SDF-1's cannon is not a heat/fire based energy source.

Just wondering what you all think of this: the Dominator home world was destroyed by a "black hole projector". If their home system was a hot, Wolf-Reynet type of star, then this doomsday weapon could have caused it to transform into a collapsar link . This collapsar would then send out s...

I voted CS out of love for their technology and the harsh Rifts environment that they live in. That, and the power psychics that can be counted in their ranks.

Although I will admitt that they'd stand very little chance against the REF.
