Re: Buying up Char in FH One of the problems I see is the STR minums for weapons seem way to high. Two handed sword at 17 is one of the worst. That basicly syas there is only a hand full of people strong enough to use a two handed sword efectively. I also think weapon damage should in some way be based on skill, but that is another isue.

Re: Glitter Boy for 34 points- is that sick? The way they work is the laser finds the frequency that is not reflected by the armor..it usualy takes one to tow shots before that frequency is found. I was thinking of using Find weakness with the lasers...how would that work, they do have damage but the armor would be half defense agenst them. With 25PD/ED that still wouldn't do any damage unless the laser was penitrating. The thing that is hard to simulate in hero is that all armor is basicly ablative in Rifts. There is no stops X amount of damage. They just have a huge amount of damage they can soak before it gets to the squishy guy inside. I was thinking of wrighing it up as 15PD/ED and 50 Body that would simulate the original game better.

Re: Glitter Boy for 34 points- is that sick? I'm also doing a Rifts conversion and would love to see your builds and would be happy to share mine. My game is a few sessions in and i'm mostly doing the conversions on the fly. I started with the GB also as it seams to be the top dog for armor and damage...thus setting a guage to build other things.

Re: Help save a campaign

Re: Help With Some Builds OK I just read through this and from what I can tell you dont' have to buy the power it's self only the Casting part of it. I say because of the warning that it should not be allowed for chracters to use UBO to get powers for themselfs at a lower cost. If you had to buy the power and the UBO it would be more expensive. The way I understand it is you build the power as the recipiant would have it and the cost of that becomes the base power on wich you put UBO and any other casting lims. Looking this over I don't now if it needs trigger. Look at it from the recipiants point of view, as if he had bought the power for himself. Then use that as the base to buy the spell.

Re: Two Weapon Fighting as SPFX Well is there any rule agenst sweeping or Rapid fireing a power? And to take it a step further can I rapid fire two different slots in a mulitpower? Sorry for the slight hijack but this info may be helpfull of you also. On a side note many of these builds make it dificult to fire at two different targets say on opisite sides of a room.

Re: Two Weapon Fighting as SPFX I have a very simualr chracter to this He uses Old revolvers nomaly as a focus to fire telekenetic blasts. I have a single mulit power with many different types of shots, and went the two wepon fighting rout so I could fire at two different targets with two different powers from the single Multipower...hmm now that I say it I don't know if that is legal.

Re: Psionic Empathy with Animals I desided to go with the Mind control but cut it down to 3 dice and made it a standard efect...All normal animals have a 5 EGO. I figure treating someone that is not thretining you as an animal isn't unresonable for an ego or better sucess. I also made it always on.

Ok I'm trying to build this power. It's supposed to be a passive ability. Animals just act like he is one of them with the exeption of cats, who act as if he is a competeing preditor. The animal afinity from fantasy hero dosn't seam to fit right as it is just the animal handler skill with a +3 on the roll. I looked at Mind control but it's more of a mental attack where this should be more of a passive thing. How would you build it?

Re: Retrocognitive Tracking This makes way more sense. And at a 20- Perceptoin it's only 8 points with the apropriate Disads.

Re: Retrocognitive Tracking I had thought of this. The retrocog was the players idea but I think it may be more point efective to use the skill. I guess the other thing i'm trying to figure out is will the retrocog do anything the skill can't.

A character in my very High fantasy game wants to by Clairsentience, Retrocognitive only with tracking and based on his location. So he can anyone he's ever met by seeing where they went in the past, but only based on his location. How would you build this?

Re: Power build help (Psionic EC and Nanotech Armor) The cost gets very high this way as the Regen and armor have no common dis ads. I would have to find a way to reduce the cost of the Multi power reserve.

I have two build questions, any input would be appreciated. Psi-Blade has a few powerful psionic abilities in an EC. Armor defined as nanotech that can be pulled into his body (think Guyver). The nanotech also provides regeneration but only when it’s not acting as armor, also when KOed but not Stuned it reverts to regen unless in a place that loosing the LS of the armor would kill the character. That is the first question how do I make this? Second the psionic EC powers can be used when the armor is off but they cause the character damage. The armor acts as a stabilizer and conduit so he can focus his power without hurting himself. Any ideas on how to build these?
