Rifts Rules Compendium

Unread post by Prince Artemis »

Greetings folks! This is something that was discussed in the last show with Kevin in an effort to try and stream line the rules of the Rifts system. Here's what we're going to do. Please post use the following template in your posts:

Rule: (Brief description of what the rule covers, not the rule itself)
Book: (What book did the rule come from?)
Page: (Give the specific page number for the rule)

Please, avoid discussion in this topic if at all possible. If you wish to discuss the rules, please do so in another topic.

As people add the rules, I'll be editing the posts below to sort the rules in to specific categories. This way, we will have a searchable database of the rules of the system.

(Plus, if we do have a complete database eventually, we can weed out some of the rules that make no sense, and make it possible to possible get a stream lined rule book. We can hope anyway.)

Could a moderator please sticky this topic?

Also, keep the rules entirely to the Rifts books and related dimension books for now. Once we have a full compendium, we can start looking at megaversal rules to put it as long as there's not already an existing rule.

Speaking of which, if you find multiple rules for the same thing, PLEASE post each rule.

Greetings and Salutations. Before I start I'll make two quick notes. 1) I'm trying to do an entire book in one shot (this way I get a fair bit done, but it's not the daunting task of "the whole Rifts line!" One book makes it small and manageable for me. I note this as a possible suggestion to others. 2) Rifts is not my main system, so feel free to double check if I missed anything later.



Rule: Ocean Depths/Human Limitations

Not sure if the random encounter tables count (but just in case):

Okay, I think I'm done for now. A few of those are questionable (source is right, but I'm not sure if they really count or not), but hopefully that helps. Thank you for your time and patience, please have a nice day. Farewell and safe journeys for now.
