I've run into that same issue before with other aspects of RIFTS. I remember one GM trying to tell me that the descriptions of the Juciers were supposed to be mostly hyperbole.
But why should a game like RIFTS have to resort to exaggeration to sound cool? Is there the implied suggestion here that nobody would be interested in playing a game where characters were really "hundreds of times stronger and faster" than a normal person?
Why not have a game where the characters match up to the hyperbole?
Spiderman is not equal to Quicksilver, and Quicksilver is not equal to Spiderman. Sure, many characters can run more quickly than the web-slinger, but IMO few are actually more agile. I'd apply that same observation to Juicers and Borgs.
I'd let Borgs do tremendous running and jumping (far more than Juicers), but Juicers would still be the kings of DEX!
By the term: "how they feel in the other game," Are we talking about how Borgs are actually described, or how they play out in the Palladium system? Because I have no interest in preserving anything about the specific feel of the other game system.
Palladium
Make Borgs how they were supposed to be----HERO style!
Warp9 got a reaction from Savinien in Rifts HERO?
