Re: Jab's Rifts Builds (Dragonmage! Crystal Dragons! Psyscape Done!)

So a lot of the later writers and freelancers for RIFTS™ started making the Coalition Troopers heroic, flawed and kind of tragic, but still heroic. I think what Palladium Books ought to do is steer into this perception of the CS. Make it clear tha tKarl Prosek is an evil megalomaniac sunnuvabetch, ...

Re: The Fantastic Four

On this advice I dug deeper into my Disney+ account and found these series, and was initially disappointed that both series only had one season. However, they're both 26 episode seasons and just looking at the thumbnails you can see the art sharpens up after ep13. Yeah, the Seasons were only 13 epi...

Re: The Fantastic Four

and a forgettable '90s one (with some SHOCKINGLY-bad animation in the episodes I've seen, as well as bad voice acting). That is true . . . for season 1 of the 90s series. For some reason, Season 1 of the 90s Iron Man and Fantastic Four were some of the most TERRIBLE superhero animation ever. Just ....

Re: Power Armor that takes damage

Related to that, since power armor quickly gets to insane amounts of Toughness, it's worth treating separate systems as individual Device. Instead of a TOughness of 22 for the entire suit, the Jets are Toughness 2 (or maybe rounded up to 3). The Plasma launchers are Toughness 4. The Powered Shell i...

Re: Senses as a Free Action

A weird side-effect of making any Permanent effect into a Sustained effect is that it also becomes noticeable: If an instant, concentration, or sustained effect’s base duration is changed using modifiers, the effect remains noticeable. A continuous or permanent effect made instant, concentration, or...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Circe! Artemis! Dark Angel! Maxwell Lord!)

Ironically, the version of the character in WW84 is pretty much Max in name only, and not all that much like the other figure he's supposed to be based on either. Both JLI!Max and that individual are the products of generations of inherited wealth, while the film character apparently started from h...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Dr. Cyber! Silver Swan I-III! Circe!)

The "War of the Gods" storyline was such an awesome idea with such a meh execution. All of the various pantheons of Earth going to war in this massive free-for-all, being manipulated by this powerful enchantress whose soul is bound to a goddess of magic that felt snubbed by the gods in ge...

It's been a superpower in HU since it was first published, but it's never been an OCC trait AFAIK.

Re: Nega-Psychic

-The Nega-Psychic is quite peculiar, and seems to be from another Palladium game, as they mention how "usually" they are psionic beings who manage to nullify Psionics through sheer disbelief. Yeah, they're a version of a class from Beyond the Supernatural , the horror game that was a prec...

Re: Jab's Rifts Builds (Rifts Psyscape- Harvesters! Xombies!)

They incorporated a lot of these into the base Psionics in the Ultimate Edition, so I ended up statting a lot of them here. I think Astral Golem is the only one that didn't make the cut.

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Amazons! The Mask! Giganta! The Blue Snowman!)

In Marston's defense, and I can't believe I'm defending Marston, that particular trope (scientist invents something, dies, and then someone else uses their invention for evil) was well established by this point. As to how something that freezes all it touches was supposed to aid humanity ... it fac...

Re: Jab's Rifts Builds (Waterstrider! Pirates! Rifts Psyscape!)

I remember seeing this book and flipping through to find the Zapper, which I correctly guessed was an electrokinetic version of the Burster, but being a little disappointed that they didn't also have a "Splasher," the logical hydrokinetic equivalent. Admittedly, Hydro-K is objectively the ...
