That's cool. As long as you take it into effect when doing the totals....

It does not, that is why we have the Open RP area. So you guys can RP and interact even while the pace slows down for combat.

But again I understand the frustration for being locked down and apologize.

So, is the delay in story advancement going to affect our "posts per week" thing? It's been over 2 weeks since I posted and I'm waiting for the next turn to start. Sorry, legitimate complaint. I updated the turn, normally I use the 4 days then you are on hold rule. But with the Refinery in Shutdown...

I didn't realize those feats were banned since Humble had Behemoth. I will see if I can salvage the concept.

PS: This would be cool to go in the Phase World Game Mike is starting, and I am sure he would let you keep them. I plan on playing a Magneto clone (obviously weaker) and having a huge tough guy to save me from dying would be nice.

I don't know where that race write up is from, but it's nowhere near balanced, using either the old racial trait values from SWD or the current version in TLPG. I'd start from scratch building a new race using TLPG. Positive and negative traits need to sum to 2 (back of the hand, I came to 10 or so...

What was wrong with Mutation? Literally nothing. For 2 points you take a major Hindrance. That's a 1 for one trade. It was designed with that in mind.

I think you may be a little tired. It is still there and has not been removed.

I will say that GMs need to be on the watch for Modifier Abuse.

I am renaming this Group "Phase World The Remorseless" this will distinguish us from our competitors who may be flying on other ships in the 3 Galaxies!

I voted no, but really I am semi-ambivalent to it. Knock back can make sense in some situations and not in others. But the rules can get forgotten and muddled at times. As it is now a lot of combats get too complicated and maps need updated so often it can drag play down. I would rather not have to ...

Sounds really cool.

Okay,
Please review again, removed reference to setting rules, removed reference to Power Reserve.

Super Karma and Inner Reserve removed

Cool, I will cut the invert reserve and fix the Karma

I would like to have as many grenades as the team will allow.

A laser pistol

Also I would like the Chain sword and Henry's old armor.

As the GM of the character I am going to approve use of Limited Power to convert the fine details and ignore the irrational combination and application of contengent.

Remove super karma and the rest of the SPC settimg rules then you got my vote. Super Karma strikes me as a setting rule. I would allow it if the hindrance was power negation or a major weakness.

Okay,
I am on it.

I think you are really over-complicating things here. Realistically just call it a limited power or whatever, but the point of the contingent was valid. Device however is not allowed for EQ.

Yes, I was planning it as a sig item. Fleet Footed is probably more appropriate but my character already has that :P While, from a human design view I agree. Given the CAF has non humans who might already be fast, double pace might work better in some circumstances too. Hard call. VV I am okay with...

Is this your signature item?

If so I would like to point out you get more from Fleet Footed than Speed level 1.

As speed level 1 you move 12" and do not roll a run die, while Fleet footed you move 8"+1d12" if running

Otherwise I think this armor is cool. and Approve

Retired, player ghosted.

This character has 5 earned experience not shown above.

I would consider that a vote in favor of each of the rules, which is how he intended it.

Sounds like his vote was pretty close to mine.

Someone needs to fix that Poll and add remorseless so people can revote and make it the winner.

EDIT: I added the name as an option

Thank you to Whoever created the poll.

PS: I think Remorseless is the coolest name of all of the names pitched.

I am happy with it.

Okay, so lets wrap this up. 10 votes and plenty of chat. We just go with whatever i said above and call it good?

Powers all look fine but I’m calling shenanigans on the various Sunlight- and appearance-related Hindrances that can just be ignored whenever you’re in armor. I would treat such allergies and vulnerabilities the same as a Vampires or a Silhouette and they would not be reduced by body or power armor...

Looking good.

You and the team will do great. We now have a Psi Operator (@Leethe), a Weird Scientist (@Stoic), and a Techno Wizard (you) all in one group. You guys will never have tech problems you cannot overcome.

Heck, maybe you can start telling Mac who is in charge.

Not with the 4 points for Mega Damage? I think you would get more mileage out of buying +4 Toughness. All Science fiction melee weapons are Mega Damage in Rifts, and a lot of fights will be on space ships with limited line of sight so once things get up close you will be dealing with no effective be...

Approved.

I like the write up for this character and think he will be great on the ship. I look forward to reading the interlude.

How can it work for MARS that cybernetics and armor toughness stack, but because its a cyborg IF they do not? That does not make sense.

Equipment bonuses do not normally stack. You take the higher off the two.

RFT,

By "cool list" do mean the ones in the SPC?

If so, I was thinking something similar.

VV

Yes,
I feel like those hindrances are what really add depth to the options for a character and would like SPC characters to have at least one, if not two.

The main issue I see is feeding the thing: The way I read Power Source, you'd need a separate one (ie. E-clip, or rechargeable battery for the 96-hour variant) for each power. So if it was a traditional S-T item, you'd need to plug in 8 e-clips. In this case, we're talking about like ... 8 steaks a...

Another option would be just writing in the assumption of Super Karma and saying. "One of you may hindrances needs to be from the cool list."

I am a fan of both the extra point the players will get for flushing out their concept and for the extra cool limitation of those hindrances.

that works for you. But for my games i will run RAW and let the character take only the higher of the two. (Between Cybernetic toughness and worn armor)

I like Tribe and high Commands approach Combined Attacks: - Keep this Knockback: - Don't Care (I do not like it, but will not complain) Synergy: - Don't Care (I do not like it, but will not complain) Unarmed Defender: - ABSOLUTELY KEEP THIS Power Stunt: - Keep this Power Trick: - Keep this Super Kar...

I completely missed the normal armor potential.

Normally I do not consider Armor or Toughness bonuses to stack.

What ever happened to public voting options?

I voted, but in the minority.

Because it was not clear above.

Okay, I think you initial Edge should be Beyond the Limit and Upgradable not Upgrade. Otherwise you are 5 Strain over allowance. With both however you are at 19 of 20 Strain.

I think super karma is great for a supers game. But this is Rifts and I do not think it is important to bring other setting rules over into Rifts. Lets just ditch it. It’s like taking a character from a setting with the high adventure setting rule and saying ok well yeah only you can use that setti...

Alternately,
I think the other two frameworks are simply superior and better thought out than this one.

Perhaps this one gets the axe?

Just give them 30 PP to start - 25 seems a little chintzy, and deviates from SPC2 for no reason. Lose the native/non-native distinction and give everyone the HJ rolls and access to Super Karma. Then I think the extra Hindrances (or 4 points of Negative racial abilities) is justified. In context wit...

On the topic of "does ranged weapons shrink also?" I would argue that by the rules personal items should be included in spells which I would say is generally stuff like weapons and armor or special relationship or light encumbrance. Example, you rifle and wallet will shrink, but your rocket launcher...

Looks straight forward to me.

I think it would be cool to define the trapping as a separate living being.

May not be able to take it away, but it can be slumbered or perhaps poisoned into sleep?

Generally looks good. Can you add a couple bullets of background ideas for me to work with and define the trappings on your powers?

Use the medium and change Size to 10, 25 available mods to 27, and 25(6) toughness to 27(6).

How much you spend or want in this shop just affects maintenance and payments.

Cheaper ship = More in the pocket, more restricted jobs.

Nicer ship = Less in pocket, but more restricted jobs.

I literally copied and pasted the Light Freighter from page 49, Made it size 10 and added +2 armor and +2 mod slots.

I am okay with whatever happens here.

meh,

They feel a little under powered compared to the Cyborg.

Maybe compensate for the loss of armour and strength by letting them have 3 or 4 Attributes points under grey matter?
