Other RPGs / Rifts Advice
« on: March 04, 2014, 09:02:33 PM »
I know this is more of a D&D forum; however, my wife and I met some people who are running a "Rifts" game.  Does anyone have any advice on what a fun character would be?  I've been looking maybe asking if I could play a Cosmo Knight since they're basically a magical version of a glitterboy that appears to level up well without a big need for character wealth.  Are there other options I can do if this is stricken from the list of OCCs?

I'm working on converting the data to a tabular format which should help me with some bulk importing from your thread Maat.  Basically, once I'm done everything will be in a nice and pretty tabular format that is easy to maintain.  Since I'm moving all the data into sql tables and then generating output for the forum threads it's going to be a little bit of work.

I can merge the information if you want.  Probably will be a few days to get the work done since I'm still working on this one.  Also fixed the Blessing of Kord typo.  I like that toon you linked it's very much inline with the threads ;)

This is my first handbook.  It needs a little fleshing out in terms of some of the mental stats, races, temples, and eventually spells.  I'm always open to expanding this since I've not seen a handbook that solely focuses on stat bonuses which are really the bread and butter of D&D.  I've not scoured all sources (yet), but I plan on adding to it little by little.  But it definitely has a good start.

This is for those pretty boy bastards who think they can charm their way into killing Nazis, or at least convince the Nazis to kill each other.  :D

Handbooks / Ways to make a Stonger Bastard

What better way to fight Nazis that to hit them as hard as you can with your weapon of choice.  Personally, I like to hit them upside the head with a Minotaur Greatclub, but it can be a bit more messy than other weapons.

Handbooks / Harder, Better, Faster - A Handbook on Building Better Bastards

Hello, this is my first D&D handbook.  What is the art of building a better bastard you may ask?   :huh Well, put quite simply you are looking for ways to increase your primary attributes (Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma) as high as possible as expensively or as cheaply as your resources may allow.  You're going to be up against some major stuff out there, especially from those Nazi scum so you're going to have to find ways to beat them at their own silly game of mastering the world by mastering yourself.

The first thing to building a bastard is that size matters (as far as changing size categories is concerned).  Moving up in size category generally provides bonuses to Strength, Constitution, and Natural Armor while penalizing Dexterity, Hit, and base Armor Class.  Moving down in size category has the opposite effect.

Gaming Advice / Re: Familiar: Share Spell Question
« on: February 26, 2014, 11:08:29 PM »
With the "Share Spells" ability you get two choices. 

1.  When you cast the spell on yourself, your familiar can gain the effect of the spell as well.  Here casting the spell produces 2 effects, one for the caster with the caster as the target and the familiar as the target of the other effect.  In this case, you would be able to recall one spell you cast in the last 24 hours, and your familiar would be able to recall one spell it had cast in the last 24 hours. 

2.  When you cast your spell on your familiar, your familiar would be able to recall one spell it had cast in the last 24 hours.  Here casting the spell produces 1 effect that targets the familiar, and the familiar is able to recall one spell it had cast in the last 24 hours.

In either case, the familiar must have cast a spell from it's own mind in order to recall it since the target of each effect is mutually exclusive.

Gaming Advice / Re: Grt Shadow Conjuration -> Ethereal Mount, then Etherealness: does it work?
« on: February 26, 2014, 09:37:52 PM »
I would consider the ramifications of using this optional rule.  If someone is already using Greater Shadow Conjuration then you have to assume that the Plane of Shadows exists or you just ignore the rule and state that it works anyway.  If you now state that the character can no longer use some core Beguiler spells with a [Shadow] descriptor you really limited their options, and that is something that should have been discussed up front before the character was made so the player had the option to make a different build.
