-Despite the "Cyberpunk"-style name, Zone Boys are effectively "Space Rangers" who act as guards, judges, juries, and executioners in distant space lanes. So like a Justice Ranger but with worse gear and not against Robots. Only good-aligned Terrans may be Zone Boys.

I know that its way too late and there just isn't enough artwork out there, would love to hear a commentary about the races.

I know that its way too late and there just isn't enough artwork out there, would love to hear a commentary about the races.

There's not really much to most of them other than what I've already listed. Just a page here or there about how one is a "Warrior Race" and uninteresting stuff about their interactions with other races.

Needs more Kirn?

Needs more Kirn?

What book is that from? What OCC is that?

-STS

[Spectrum]

That's one of the Manhunter races- the Kirn.

-Void Cyberworms are fast, durable "Guard Dogs" constructed out of cybernetic additions to snake-like creatures. They sport six attacks and a Mouth Cannon, hitting PL 9 overall. Quite powerful, but nowhere close to Manhunters, though they have a ton of Immunities.

[Spectrum]

That's pretty cool. Where did you borrow the art from?

Powers:
"At Least One Cybernetic Component"
"Cyber Eye- Most Typical" Senses 7 (Extended, Infra, Micro & Ultravision) [7]

"Psionics" (Major: 6 regular + 1 Super-Psionic powers; Minor: 2 powers from 1 category)

Offense:
Unarmed +5 (+2 Damage, DC 17)
Ranged Attacks +13 (+8 Ranged Damage, DC 23)

Dodge +13 (DC 23), Parry +13 (DC 23), Toughness +3 (+7 Shield), Fortitude +5, Will +5

Total: Abilities: 60 / Skills: 46--23 / Advantages: 15 / Powers: 7 + Psionics / Defenses: 17 (122 + Psionics)

-Void Cyber Priests are the elite agents of The Void, and are all Psionic Cybernetic guys with a whole swack of skills (all listed in the high 80s, which is IMMENSELY rare for Rifts) and the same "Six Attacks Per Melee" given to all the elites in the Manhunter setting. This makes them a horde of Abberant Evil melee warriors.

MANHUNTER GEAR:
GUNS & STUFF:
-Yup, it's the mandatory gear section. At least in a standalone game it's kinda necessary. The guns are hella-wimpy, fitting the lower power of the setting- typiaclly Blast 7-9 at best. The Terrans and Kirn have super-powered Blast 11-12 weapons as the top ATPDS members. Ular get a Blast 11 one, too, and the Turzigs get some good stuff. There are S.D.C. blades from the more martial races, and the Ular get some comparatively-damaging M.D.C. ones- only Damage 6-7, but still.

ARMOR:
-The options shown in the O.C.C. section are listed here. There's also:

"Assorted Gear": Toughness +7-8.
-A variety of weak, often cheaply-made, full environmental suits.

"Mus-Tak Ballam": Toughness +12, ST 9, Speed 6, Leaping 2, Neutron Blasters +13, Gun +9, Claws +2, 10 feet tall.
-Gorushan heavy power armor. It has the only 1D10x5 weapon I've ever seen in the game with the Neutron Blasters.

"Conudyne Power Armor": Toughness +14, ST 9, Speed 4, Leaping 2, Pulse Cannon +14.
-The wealthiest corporation in the world has 450 M.D.C. Power Armor.

VEHICLES:
-There's vehicles, as you'd expect, plus "Build Your Own Vehicle" rules. There's a flying car with +9 Toughness, shuttles with +13-14 Toughness, and Star Cruiser-type giants with +16 Toughness and up. Actually, this section is at least ten times shorter than I was expecting- I was thinking there'd be 20+, as that's the usual "Rifts Page Bloat", but they keep this very, VERY simple, with only two cars, a few transport shuttles and a couple of big ships. They really don't waste much space here!

And this does it for the Rifts Manhunter builds! It was kind of a lot of same-y stuff, making for easy spam-building, but it at least looks like a complete universe. Too bad it never really mattered to the setting, and seems to have been the end of the "franchise", as it were.

Next up... Rifts Phase World Sourcebook! Which means yay! More CJ Carella!

[Sidious]

Phase World Sourcebook... isn't that the one with the TGE Invincible Guard? Love to see what you come up with on this.

Yeah, that's the one. Looks like the book is half-gear, so it'll be a quick one, but it's got that Carella-tier "weird ideas" going for it, definitely.
