I'm big on hero settings, hence I bought the HU2 & VU2 books. I'm planning on running a campaign with my friends and I'd like to incorporate supernatural critters and expand the spell list in my future campaign.

My question: Are the critters and magic spells/trinkets from BTS compatible with HU? (Didn't see it specified under the book description).

I know that Nightbane is compatible with HU, however BTS is more compelling to me.

I look forward to any response. Thanks.

ALL of palladiums games are compatible with each-other system-wise. so yes, you can take the attributes and stats right out of one into the other no problem.

However, as far as usefulness goes........no, not really. BTS is intended for a lot more low-powered games. Some of the more powerful demons may fit, but otherwise not really.

I guess I should have specified my question. I'd like to include vampires into the campaign. I know that Rifts has the vampire kingdom book, however, they are MDC creatures...whereas the HU series deals with SDC.

Is it safe to say that the vampires in VK can be converted to SDC (direct correlation)?

Thanks.

Find the NIGHTBANE RPG
It is SDC setting.
Has NIGHTBANES, Vampires, Wampyres (1/2 vamps), Nightlords, Hounds, and more...
You can make Vampire-like Nightbane too, Were-animal Nightbane, Hellraiser Nightbane, Ghost Rider Nightbane, Termimator Nightbane...

PALLADIUM VAMPIRES are HP Creatures in every PB game, even RIFTS. MD Weapons do not do any damage to them period. Only Silver, Wood, and Sunlight harms them inflicting HP damage.

HEROES UNLIMITED itself has Vampires already (better than the other versions) in the MEGA-Hero section under the IMMORTAL Mega-Power. HU2 Vamps are the best PB Vamps to use honestly. The can be Blood Drinkers, PPE Vamps, Life Force (HP) Vamps, etc...and easy to make them a "race" of vamps like normal vamps...

HEROES UNLIMITED also has Werecreatures...Lycanthrope Major Power. You can build them as True Werecreatures if you wish.

I prefer to use Heroes Unlimited and Nightbane for Monster making...
If your looking for alot of Monsters in SDC check out PB Fantasy's books too.
