Gideon is no saint. In fact, it’s fair to say he’s been about as vile as person can. Can he really be called that? Well, even psychopaths are people, that’s what the girl had said. She ought to know?

most of the weapons not in Savage Foes are in the CS profiles in Empires of Humanity.

I'm a bit surprised the Fortune and Glory table didn't get a bit more of a mention. It changing to a d20 table is significant. Love the review in general though.

Enchanted Armor costs a fortune (120,000 for +4A, +1 T, and no other features at all; literally no other features), can we use Common Armor for Enchanted Items? Especially with the extrapolated Heavy Armor?

First - it's a suggestion for VV to use, modify, or ignore as he sees fit. Nothing more or less. He and I discussed it in chat today, and I told him I would present the option. Until the bossman updates the OP with it, nothing is set in stone. The cost thing came from Rob, you'll have to ask him. Wh...

Before anyone asks, these are the changes I added and why. We can remove what we want, but we needed a place to start: On All, I listed which type of Signature Item it was approved for. I also included my hyperlinked keywords. Melee Weapons: Enchanted Melee Weapon - I used the price of magical melee...

I could see adding Heavy Pulse and removing Snapfire; I can also see adding a basic non-pulse laser; additionally VV and I talked about a basic Heavy EBA proceeding mathematically from the Medium EBA (so +6/+3, 22 pounds, D8 Min Strength, 40,000). We could probably make those changes just for this. ...

But then Enchanted weapons are just vibro-blades, which is boring. By adding a die, but no AP, you end up with some variety, but similar utility. An Enchanted greatsword is going to do Str+2d10 (avg Str+12ish) compared to the vibro-greatsword doing Str+7ish that more or less ignores armor. Against ...

Duly noted. I was trying to raise points for discussion. I would like to note that I fell asleep last night mid edit - a significant edit . So I apologize for any terseness in my message. I acknowledge that it needed work, which is why I was DOING that. I will include it below so I can show that I w...

EDIT - please see my reply below. This post was supposed to be edited and is a lot more raw in emotion than I intended. For the base archaic weapons, instead of a damage die for extra weapons, give it the same treatment as vibro-blades - +1 Die Type and AP equal to the new die. Knives go from Str+d...

Was thinking about the Branaghan duster: Rather than have it increase the Min Str by a die type when worn over armor (as all armored coats/cloaks do) and then have a special ability to increase your Str by a die type ...

CS game has an opening. Main post updated.

Rimdall's Hammer underwent a major change thanks to Tribe.

Tribe and Derrick gave the Flexible armor a good enough. They also gave the Auracles a pass once it was realized that the Magic Optic system was the "base item." Timmy suggested that the Dampen Electrical Energy feature spell out that it takes an action to activate it. Also replaced incorr...

Need help here next: Also done is the T4-2044 Flexible Armored Suit . I beefed up the radio interference ability, but added in some potential trouble for the characters due to its updated origin for Rifts. Alright, and here we have the first of the new items. Funny note - named for a character on EU...

Only railguns require you to fire at maximum rate of fire as far as I know.
Inserting this for reloading: Using a insertion tube speed loader, reloading a tube is Reload 3. Otherwise each tube must be reloaded one round at a time.

I've updated the Throwback again. I took off 3RB. I will not be removing either autofire or the free action switching of tubes. And as it is depending on said recoil dampening as the method of reducing the min strength from d10, I'll keep it intact as well. I did use the suggestion from Tribe to red...

And following up with the ever popular Bag of Holding; more of a pouch really.

And finally the Auracles of Spineas.

@High Command I noticed a couple typos in the GAW Throwback. In the Big Bore section under Special it mentions Equalizer rather than the Throwback. I assume this was cut and paste from other weapon since it is more or less the same thing. Under the payload section for shotgun mode it mentions Quick...

Like the NG Equalizer. Too bad about sticking to the original list. Kind of wanted to see a NG-11S statted up. I just like that thing. But you did something similar with the Equalizer which is cool. NG-11S is easy actually, now that we have the Triax Pump Weapons, Big Bore Rounds, etc. It's basical...

GAW Throwback up for comment Didn't need to do anything but update for the official BigBore rounds and redo some formatting. It has adaptive engineering to use Big Bore rounds, but really all that means is it has a MD quality barrel (in the source any MD shotgun can fire Big Bore rounds as they are...

I was just about to post looking for feedback. There is an additional small negative - you can't use speed loaders like you can with most revolvers. Which means reload is at 1 round per action. Re: Steady Shot Aim Assist - Originally it had the exact language you have, except that it applied Steady ...

well as done so far (and this is one where we have to work with Lloyd) the items are the same basically across both sites. One of the reasons I need it codified as to a range of powers is to accommodate the top and bottom end of that spectrum - the Patron Coat vs the Altess Eviscerator, for example....

Depends on your definition of “better.” Does a patron weapon need to do more damage than its non-patron equivalent to be worth requesting? I don’t think so. I never said more damage. Why is more damage the only definition of better? There are edge equivalents such as Brawny that allow you to carry ...

As long as suddenly there's no point in requesting Patron items for your character because you can do better in game with a modicum of cash. Substance has its own style.

As long as it follows the rules of being enchanted or TW, it really doesn't matter how it's trapped. Psi-Tech items can be built as TW items, but they are default powered by ISP. Likewise advanced tech items can be built as enchanted items and simply be described as advanced tech items. No fuss, no ...

I disagree heartily with only one feature. It should be better than the first thing a TW can put out in his first game session. Why should it be better than something that takes 3 edges or a full iconic framework? No, this is the wrong aproach. More style = Good More power = Bad who says adding a m...

That works for some and doesn't for others. But we'll get to those specific items when we get to them.

I disagree heartily with only one feature. It should be better than the first thing a TW can put out in his first game session.

Ground rules (let's decide on this first) Patron Items are better than basically available items in the book. They are either magical or advanced technology. They combine features not usually found in the game. They are not superior to, nor the equal of, Signature items. That said, there is an incre...

How do Signature Item Rules need to change in light of the SWADE version of Savage Rifts?

This seems to be a matter of perspective. If you see 2 EP as overpriced, I can see why you’d dislike the 1 EP option. If you see 2 EP as the right price, then an option for an even cheaper Benny with an in-game twist becomes fun. A benny has been 1 EP since the site started and we implemented EP. I...

I think the nega-psychic does enough of what's needed for now. That's certain a valid opinion. It's just not one I share. No. Its like giving them a joker for interrupting.

The -2 for non-similar AB would apply anyway. I can include that if it would help though. It's worth noting it's actually significantly more expensive than simply dispelling the power. But thematically it fits better for Interference.

Venatus Vinco suggested today to use Shift the Arcane as a guideline. It allows a Shifter to steal powers from others.

@Venatus Vinco is there a prohibition on this? It depends on VV, tbh. I know on EU no GM can opt out of EP altogether. A DM (Dimensional Master) can modify it for his dimension, with Lloyd's oversight, but opt out entirely is completely disallowed. Its meant as a meta reward for players and as a me...

Rob, can you take a look at this when you get a chance. Rather than fight for a change to the custom edge, I'll just use the Nega-Psychic to make things easier.

My issue is I'm trying for an edge fix and not a full IF treatment this early in the process. Edges are easy to fix on a character as opposed to a full IF which needs redone.

After input from Rob, Pender, and VV I am coming back with this. it removes the legendary option entirely. AP doesn't penalize the recipient, unlike the edge. It only works against hostile powers.

Why does the Nega-Psychic not have access to the Psionic HJ table? They are major psychics.
