How do you guys with both use Splicer's characters with the world of rifts. Without an engineer or librarian, the host armors do not gain abiltiies, nor does a pack master gain new hounds.
Is there any house rule you would use for this situation?

Super or otherwise, you are just a man, while I am a God!

That was fairly ruthless father. I hope I made you proud.

Most folks that mix Splicers and Rifts Earth seem to just have whole Houses rifted in to avoid exactly the headache you presented.

They might be turned into Super Inventions, from PU2.

I came up with a back story for a small house in NA that avoided the tired cliche of being rifted....
the one question i have is....Host Armor is a living organism; all living organisms have PPE; so whats the PPE of the Host Armor?
Right now i use a quick conversion of Bio-E = PPE. But i would be interested in hearing how anyone else handles this...

Every group has one problem player. If you cannot spot the one in your group; look in the mirror.
It is not a good session until at least one player looks you in the eye and says "you sick twisted evil ****"

well one side effect of my method is it does make the armor a target for those critters that feed off PPE...duck-foot wrote:Damian Magecraft wrote:I came up with a back story for a small house in NA that avoided the tired cliche of being rifted....

thats a potentuialy huge amount of PPE for a mindless hiost armor. id go with minumum PPE 10 and max would be BIO-E x 1/2.
still a multiple of .5 does sound a bit better...
I am still playtesting the modifications and backstory for the host armors in rifts I will have to let you know how it works out.

actually i'd leave the splicers constructs as having no PPE. if you go by BTS2, PPE is the raw potential for development. in psychics, it becomes ISP and psychic powers. in some humans, it becomes better strength, higher intellegence.
in mutant anmals and splice constructs, it becomes Bio-E for genetic alterations.

well by having the Bio-E equal the PPE it creates a variable PPE in the armor....as the character/armor advances in levels the Bio-E/PPE increases and as the armor "grows" new/better systems it expends the Bio-E/PPE. Basically only the remaining Bio-E counts towards PPE (with the armor always having a minimum of 2d6 permanent PPE). so far it seems to work. but then its still being tested...a level gain for the player is coming up...so that should tell me if its going to get out of hand or not.glitterboy2098 wrote:actually i'd leave the splicers constructs as having no PPE. if you go by BTS2, PPE is the raw potential for development. in psychics, it becomes ISP and psychic powers. in some humans, it becomes better strength, higher intellegence.
