Dice Rifts Adventure OOC

[Purr]

Just to clarify, my MA style includes an automatic parry option. That lets me parry without using up an attack, right? Or are the combat moves not being utilized unless playing a Ninjas and Superspies OCC?

Hey Pips? As the rules go (and Sherwood seems to be following this), any technique with the word "automatic" in front of it means that attempting it does not take an attack (be it automatic roll, automatic body flip/throw, automatic elbow lock, etc.). Basically, the technique in question has been practiced so frequently as to be ingrained in the practitioner as to be reflexive in nature). =)

EDIT: Oh, and all combat systems, from Hand to Hand: Basic to Martial Art systems from Ninjas & Superspies, Mystic China, etc. have automatic parry. At least, I have never ever seen a fighting system in Rifts without it. =)

does anyone know where i can find a complete list of psionics for rifts/rifter?

This list may be of some assistance to you. While I don't believe there is a complete and comprehensive list of all psionics in Rifts (as there seems to be for magic), this list, I believe, comes close. It combines psionics found in the Rifts Ultimate Edition and Rifts Psyscape. Enjoy! =)

Sherwood So, Eric Foss stayed behind too?

 

[DraconianWarrior]

quick question;

if you choose a racial character class as well as a occupational character class do you get both of thier skill sets if they have them? and what about items?

 

[Epiphany]

Palladium in general (and Rifts in particular) doesn't seem to have clear, consistent rules on RCCs vs. OCCs. As I've usually seen it practiced, an RCC represents the 'average' member of a species and what they learn to do or know. If your character takes an OCC, those skills typically replace the RCC's skills, representing a difference in time and energy spent. Likewise, OCC items usually replace RCC items.

Hey Draco! Did you get my earlier message concerning the psychic powers list?

Gradicus is a True Atlantean Tattooed Undead Slayer (from Rifts Dimension Book 15: Secrets of the Atlanteans). He takes his Attributes, a few skills, and some racial talents and abilities for being a True Atlantean (as opposed to a human, dwarf, etc.) but his O.C.C. is Tattooed Undead Slayer. His items came from his O.C.C. He has no R.C.C. =)

Pips! What is up with these dice? =) Also, to save you some typing, any Strike roll under 5 is a miss (regardless of bonuses). A roll of 1 can be considered a fumble (GMs discretion as Trent's cannon blast in the earlier fight). Once I see a 1-4 on the d20 Strike roll, I usually stop there. Just pointing it out! =)

 

[DraconianWarrior]

alright thanks guys.

do you think a godling cosmos knight would be to op?

 

[Purr]

Definitely. Besides, Sherwood nixed Cosmo Knights at the beginning of play.

I recommend you play a character you like. Power is good, but having a colorful character with an interesting background and such is much, much better! Play the kind of character you're honestly excited to play! I am and it's a blast! =)

(And thanks for continuing to add punctuation! My brain thanks you too!) =)

 

[DraconianWarrior]

I know he nixed them, im just currently trying to make the most op character i can, because why not.

 

[Purr]

Draco, what's wrong with your current character? You have (if memory serves) a full-conversion armored borg capable of psionics with multiple vehicles, drones, and other gear, right?

 

[Purr]

Sherwood So, Eric Foss stayed behind too?

 

[DraconianWarrior]

Yes i do, and there is nothing wrong with him. im just creating characters to help with boredom. and as an added bonus doing this will help me later customize and maximize my equipment (maybe not in this game but possibly future ones ) so that i can do the best i can to be a good roleplayer and be well informed on what exists in this universe. after all i have only known about this game for about two months now.

 

[Purr]

Oh. O.K. It sounded like you were replacing Blake. As long as you're having a good time!

 

[DraconianWarrior]

i am Dann and thank you for taking an intrest. i prmise that i am having fun. that said if any of you guys have knowledge or character ideas that you want to share or want worked on please dont be afraid to message me. i find great joy in learning knew things and being able to create things with my imagination.

 

[Psychie]

I feel somewhat slighted that I am not as big of a threat as Gradicus and Kimberly. If I had Baby with me, I'd sure as hell be a threat!

 

[Sherwood]

Lol I can have them shoot you if you'd like....

 

[Psychie]

No no no, it's too late now. You had your chance.

 

[DraconianWarrior]

is it possible to activate multipul psionics at once?

 

[Sherwood]

Activating one I allow as a free action. Any more than that uses an action.

 

[DraconianWarrior]

[Silanon]

Sherwood Just a rule question since I'm somehow too stupid to find the right page in the rulebook - is drawing a weapon an action in itself? Just asking because I'd like to fire my rifle, but one of my hands still carries the focus for the spell earlier.

 

[Dano]

Sherwood - couple of questions.

1) How far is the River Walker from the village?

2) Is Trent able to identify any useful information about the people in regard to the faction they might belong to or perhaps notice a weakness the demons have as he studies Blake's monitors?

 

[Purr]

No no no, it's too late now. You had your chance.

Psychie - lady, you are hilarious! 8D

Just a rule question since I'm somehow too stupid to find the right page in the rulebook...

(ellipsis mine)

Silanon, even for us experienced Rifts players, such items can be hard to find. So don't feel "az if you haz the dumb"! Palladium rules, while creative and wonderful, can be difficult to find sometimes just from the sheer amount of information in each book! =)

 

[Purr]

Yep! And this is why I cheered when I rolled those Natural 20s. =) RpN's Dice Roller is fickle!

The village is right on the edge of the canal, so you are only a few hundred feet away from the edge.
From what you can tell, these people are under the control of the Coalition, but you don't see any signs of a garrison here.

I'll let you get a weapon ready and act as a free action. Go ahead and shoot.

 

[Epiphany]

Man. I've had one good roll.
