Re: Rifts HERO?
 
I to have been working on a few Rifts HERO writups, as I liked the setting but not the system (and not a lot of the later additions).
 
Here, for instance, it a Ley Line:

Magical Energy: END Battery (100 END / 100 REC) (110 Active Points); Linked to Forcewall (-1/2). Real Cost: 73.
 
Celestial Event Energy: Aid 10d6 to END Battery, Fade Rate 5/Day (+1 ½) (250 Active Points); Only During Celestial Events: Eclipses, Planetary Alignments, or Summer/Winter Solstace (-1). Real Cost: 125.
 
Location of Magic: Change Environment (Area of Overwhelming Magic, -4 PER Roll to Magical Senses), AoE 20†Line (+1 1/4), Explosion (+1/2), Megascale (MegaArea; 1†= 1 km; +1/4), RE to 0 (+1/2) (60 Active Points); Linked to Forcewall (-1/2). Real Cost: 40.
