Re: Jab’s Builds! (Fire Emblem Builds Complete! The Princess Bride!)

He should have had Feature (Six fingers on right hand) How is that a feature, lol? Slightly better grip? I left it in as a Complication! Dude has to have his gloves specially made, I bet! One of my favourite parts of the book that never made the movie was Count Rugen going to Inigo's father Domingo...

Re: Nightspawn/bane Conversions

Hey JDRook! I've been using your conversions to run a Nightbane campaign, and had an idea I wanted to get your feedback on. The players are all totally new to Palladium stuff, so PPE and such didn't make much sense to them. I gave them a free Talent because they had all spent all their pp to make t...

Mechanics & Metaphors: Palladium HTH Reassessment

While following Jabroniville's Rifts China Martial Arts conversions , I got the urge to delve deeper into turning all of the bonuses from slowly leveling up hand-to-hand skills into M&M traits with my own interpretation. The biggest difference is Jab converts Attacks Per Melee into bonuses for C...

Re: Chinese Martial Arts

Yeah, I really didn't know how to do the "Attacks Per Round" otherwise. +2 attacks seemed like the easiest way to go about it, though it left Level 15 guys with +22-ish attack scores. But given how that's the top-tier M&M uses, maybe it makes sense? Rifts is horribly overpowered anywa...

Re: Chinese Martial Arts

CHINESE MARTIAL ARTS: [/u] * Unusually, the book offers you SEVERAL new Martial Arts styles to choose from, some of which are quite potent. Managed to take a look at it myself, and yes, those are all taken from N&S and Mystic China, which together have around 30 distinct martial arts, so I'm ac...

Re: Dyval

DYVAL: [/u] -Dyval is only barely mentioned here, with 1-2 pages to go in the book. It's another dimension of demon-like beings, called... ugh... "Deevils", as well as Devilkins. Dyval did not get fully written up until VERY recently, with Dyval: Hell Unleashed coming out in 2015. When I ...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Firehawk! Geo-Force! Metamorpho! Etrigan!)

Happy 2k, Jab! That's truly impressive, especially when you consider that 2000 days is surprisingly close to 5.5 years, which is about how long you've been doing this thread. Averaging a page a day is some solid work!

Re: Wealthy Adventurer Density Changer - PL 10

Oi, but the Shapeshifter Powers page in the QCG section gives me anxiety. It is the easily the least newbie-friendly page in the entire book, with complex powersets in a wall of text with a tiny font, using the most unbalanced and easily broken Effects (Growth, Shrinking, Insubstantial & Variabl...
