Rifts OCC/RCC Netbook

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Adept O.C.C.

As a result of one of my players taking a firm grip into the
magical aspect of MAGE, I developed a new magic O.C.C. more
suitable for what he requested. In the course of development I
tried very hard to create a new mage aspect without going beyond
the bounds of equality amoung the initial three magic character
classes. If for your game you wish to make changes to this O.C.C.
or have any questions, feel free to make those changes, or write
me at: [e-mail].

Experience points/level: Same table as a Mystic O.C.C.

P.P.E.: P.E.+(2D4*10)+2D6 per level.

Standard Skills
2 Languages +15%
Wilderness Survival +10%
Pilot: Hover Craft +5%
Lore: Demons & Monsters +10%
Math: Basic +10%, Literate +10%

Plus 7 other skills (req. 1 science,1 technical) available areas
are: communication (radio only), Electronics (Basic), Medical
(first aid), Physical (except Wrestling and Gymnastics.), Pilot
+5%, Pilot related +3%, Rogue, Science +10%, Technical +5%, WP
(any), Wilderness +5%. Plus select five secondary skills (without
plus).

Powers: 2D4 spells initially.

1. Sense ley line and magic energy - This power is somewhat
similar to the psi-stalker and mutant dogs. The line walker can
see and feel the presence of magic. Sense ley line nexus - The
walker is able to feel whether there is a ley line within the area
of his sensing abilities, 10 miles (16 km) per level of
experience, and can tell whether it is near or far. He can also
follow the feeling to locate the ley line at a skill level of 30%
+5% per each additional level of experience. Sense a rift - The
mage will automatically feel the sensation of a rift opening
anywhere within a 50 mile area (80 km) +10 miles (16 km) per each
additional level of experience. Although he can not tell exactly
where this rift is, the walker will know whether it is near of far
and whether it is big or small. Sense magic in use - The
expenditure of magic in the form of a spell, rifting, or techno-
wizardry can be felt, up to 100 feet (30.5 m) away per every level
of experience. The will not know the location nor be able to
trace it, but he will feel its energy and know that magic is being
used in the area of his sensing range.

2. True Sorcery - This unique magic user invents new spells as
he/she needs them. Creating spells that may or not be similar to
those spells listed in the books, if not similar, the GM will have
to deterime the P.P.E. required, range, damage (if any) and
description for the spell. Step 1: Character determines the
desired effect that he or she wishes to accomplish. Step 2: The
GM determines what power, spell, etc... best accomplishes the
desired effect, and assigns rank (level) to the given power
(record and save for future reference). Step 3: Character rolls
dice to determine the length of time needed to invent the spell.
The creation time of the spell is directly related to the level of
the spell wished to be created. Creation time is 2D4 melees +
2*(level of the spell) melees extra. For example if an Adept
wished to create a spell of 5th level it could take anywhere from
12-18 melees depending on the roll. When the Adept begins the
creation, he/she goes into a meditative trance. While in this
state the character cannot take any other action other than a slow
walk (no dodge, parry, etc...). However, the Adept is aware of
his surrondings and can cancel the meditation at any time,
resuming action normally. If the meditation is broken at any time
the Adept shall have to resume his meditation from the beginning,
as the spell is not imprinted upon the Adept's memory until the
end of the meditation. This does allow the Adept to create new
spells as he/she needs them, provided all spells have not yet been
chosen, but finding the time to do so in combat can be tricky.
Step 4: The Adept casts the newly acquired spell for the first
time ever. This initial casting requires two times the normal
amount of time to cast the spell. If the Adept chooses he/she can
negate the penalty of the double time in casting the spell, by
expending 10 P.P.E. extra for the first spell. All spell casts
after the initial time can be accomplished at the normal rate of
time. Normal casting time for spells: Levels 1-6: 2 spells per
melee. Levels 7-10: 1 spell per melee. Levels 11-15: 1 spell
every 2 melees. Step 5: Add the spell to the Adept's personal
list of spells for future reference which can now be called upon
like any ordinary spell cast by most magic users.
Limitations:
1. The character can never learn magic like a normal mage,
instead he/she must develop a similiar one.
2. These spells are all personal, they cannot be taught to other
magic users.
3. Can only create 2 spells a week plus one per each level of
experience.
4. Can only create 4 spells per each level of experience plus one
for each level of the Adept, per year. For example if a 1st level
Adept had not advanced for two years he/she could have up to 10
+2D4 spells available to him or her.

Anti-Magics

An R.C.C. for Rifts by Dan Hicks

These beings are similar, in that they are able to simply negate magic!

Alignments: Any
Attributes: All 3D6
O.C.C.'s: No practitioners of magic, tend towards fighters
XP Table: Use dragon experience table
Hit Points: Standard S.D.C.: Normal as per O.C.C.
Horror Factor: 13 to creatures of magic when they realize what they're
fighting
P.P.E.: 3D4*10+40 to start, +1D4*10 per level
Natural Abilities:
Unless noted, these powers cost no P.P.E. to use.

1. Negate Magic
The Anti-Magic can negate magic at a rate of 1 of his P.P.E. to 4
outside P.P.E.
2. Impervious to Hostile Magic
Just like it sounds, hostile magic directed at the character either
fizzes out, misses or some else happens

3. Negate I.S.P.
The Anti-Magic can negate I.S.P. at the same rate as P.P.E. (see above)

4. Negate Magical Creatures
By directing his P.P.E. towards a magical creature he is touching, the
Anti-Magic can do 3D6 damage/ P.P.E. point/round to a supernatural
creature, such as vampires, were beasts, dragons, faeries. Generally
anything which can't survive without magic is effected by this.

5. Change Magical M.D. to S.D.
Any magical attacks which do M.D., such as a dragon's punch, a rune
sword, is done in S.D. to the Anti-Magic.

6. Negate Magical Attacks
This is like #1, #2 and #4. Any attack which couldn't exist without
magic but isn't physical, dissipates upon hitting the Anti-Magic, doing
no damage.

Example: A dragon breathes fire at an Anti-Magic and his friends
behind him. The fire strikes the Anti-Magic and
dissipates, doing no damage to anyone.
Example 2: A basilisk tries to petrify an Anti-Magic. The beams
strike and dissipate, doing no damage.

Attacks per Melee: As per combat
Damage From Special Attacks: See abilities
Average Life Span: 90 years
Value: 80 billions of credits
Habitat: Anywhere
Language(s): Any as per O.C.C.
Enemies: Supernatural beings
Allies: Weak humans
Size: human

Notes: This is my first R.C.C. If you have any questions or comments, please
feel free to send them to [e-mail]. Also, don't tell people you made
this. After all, this is my first.

Asternogs R.C.C.

Born of the stars, beings of pure cosmic energy, no fear, no emotions, and
no friends. One continual message, passed down throughout there existence,
gives them reason to live, DOMINATION!!!

Asternogs or Asteronians, as somtimes called, feed off of the energy
radiating from the stars of the universe. They reproduce sexually and
offspring are placed in the interior of a star. There they grow and mature
until they unleash themselves on the universe. Domination of all beings
seems to be their main instinct and they rarely have an feelings toward any
other being. Usually they travel alone searching for prey to either conquer
or digest. Food is there only means of survival, and somehow it uses the
gases from the breakdown of food particles and gives their bodies any
particular gas needed to function. They need to feed every human week and any
living or non-living tissue can be consumed.
Their appearance is very intimidating. The average Asternog stands 10 feet
6 inches. They can fly at velocities of up to 1,000 mph and sometimes faster
when pissed off. Their physical build is that like a humans, they have two
arms and two legs. The head is large with one eye in both the front and the
back. Ears are relatively small but still have remarkable hearing skills.
Their skin is green for males and blue color for females. Both sexes are
equally powerful but the females seem to be a bit stronger overall. And fight
ferosiously.

P.P.E.: 5D6x10
Mega-Damage/Hit Points: 1D6x100 + 10 M.D.points
Armor Rating: Skin is M.D. substance and is impervious to all normal weapons.

Beyond Cyber-Knights OCC's

Believe it or not, once a Cyber-Knight (NOT Warriors, Rangers, or Ninjas, just
Knights) reaches Level 15, the game's not over. It is possible to advance
still further, but it is not easy. First, there are 3 paths to choose from :
Cyber-Paladin, Cyber-Avenger, or Defiler (which, as any Cyber-fighter histori
an knows, was the original group from which the Cyber-Fighters sprang). The
following applies to all of the "Super-Cyber-Knights":

-After reaching Level 15, the Cyber-Knight must spend 2 years in training in
wh ichever new path is chosen.

-All of the paths use the Ancient Chiang-Ku XP Table. The difference in XP is
gained through the training so that the new Super-Cyber-Knight begins anew at
L evel 16.

-Gains 1 secondary skill each level due to heightened concentration and mental
abilities. In addition, all restrictions on skills are lifted.

-Gains the following bonuses: Add 1 to all mental attributes, add 3 to all
phys ical attributes except PB, and cannot become a vampire. Also gains an awe
fact or of 10.

-At the end of the 2-year training period, the Cyber-Knight goes into a week-
long trance. During this trance Lord Coake appears to the Cyber-Knight in a
vision. When the Cyber-Knight awakes, all cybernetics, bio-sytstems, and bio-
wizard ENHANCEMENTS (if a new limb, eye, or whatever was simply cloned because
it had to be, it is not affected) are GONE with the exception of Cyber-Armor
with full MDC restored. In place of the cybernetics are normal, living, human
parts. From that point onward, the Super-Cyber-Knight may NOT get any more
enhancements. If such an enhancement is necessary (to replace a lost limb, for
example) it is allowed under the following conditions: it may NOT be enhanced
(a perfectly normal version of what was lost,) it MUST be bio-wizardry or a
bio-system (though the latter is somewhat reduced in efficiency; -1 to all
physical atributes for that limb,) and its attributes cannot be above those of
the original.)

CYBER-PALADIN:
REQUIREMENTS: PS 20, PE 18, Good or Unprincipled Alignment MAGIC: At Level 16,
starts with no spells, but may purchase and learn any spell s he/she wants.
Gains 2D20 PPE immediately and 1D10 every level thereafter up until Level 26.
PSIONICS: Choose 1 from Super (except, of course, for Psi-Sword) and 2 from
Hea ling. Gains 1d10 ISP and is considered a Master Psionic. POWERS:
1) Psi-Blast: The Psi-Sword of a Cyber-Knight becomes a new, terrifying
weapon. While it cannot be kept "up" like the Psi-Sword, it is deadlier. A
column of glittering psionic energy fires from the Cyber-Paladin's hand, first
going out and then back in like a psionic yo-yo. This counts 2 melee actions.
DAMAGE: Unchanged from Psi-Sword at Level 16, add 1d6 MD at Levels 17, 19, 22,
24, and 26.
2) Can use the psionic Healing Touch the same as the psionic power WITHOUT
using ISP. This may only be done once per 24 hours, and it temporarily
drains1d4 SDC from the Cyber-Paladin.

CYBER-AVENGER:
REQUIREMENTS: 20 in all physical attributes, anarchist or evil alignment (this
includes Aberrant)
MAGIC: See Cyber-Paladin
PSIONICS: Gains Bio-Manipulation and 3 of choice from Physical. Gains 1d6 ISP
and is considered a major psionic. POWERS:
1) Physical Psi-weapon: The Psi-Sword can become a psionic version of any
weapon the Cyber-Avenger wants, but it must have a physical core (a Psi-Chain
must have a real chain, a Psi-Pistol must have a real pistol.) This physical
core may not be changed once chosen, and the core must be used in conjunction
with the weapon (if the core is stolen, TOUGH!) The advantage to this method
is that any weapon with ammunition no longer needs it to shoot (a big plus for
energy weapons.)
DAMAGE: Same as for Cyber-Paladin.
2) Gains the ability to incite fear in any creature (horror factor 19) once
per 24 hours. Like the Cyber-Paladin, this action drains 1d4 SDC from the
Cyber-Avenger.

DEFILER
REQUIREMENTS: at least 20 in all attributes, any alignment MAGIC: At Level 16
gains 10 spells of choice from any level 1 to 6 and gains 1 new spell per
level. Gains another 6d6 PPE. PSIONICS: 2 Super psionics (once again, not Psi-
Sword) and 5 from any other cat egory. Gains 2d20 ISP, master psionic, +4 to
save vs psionics
POWERS:
1) Can use both the Psi-weapons of any Cyber-OCC (except for the Paladin and
Avenger's weapons; those weapons are unique to those OCC's.)
DAMAGE: Unchan ged at Level 16, add 1 die of damage (D6 for sword, D4 for bow,
and so on) every other level. NOTE ON PSI-SWORD: A Defiler's Psi-Sword can be
thrown 15 feet and it will return. This does the same damage as the Psi-Sword,
but it costs 2 melee actions to throw it 2) Gains Nightvision 50 feet

many races into it. These races took this as a sign from their gods that this
was their new home and to live with it. Thus it began, the races had lived
quite peacefully for a while and as usual the humans got bored and started
wars. The Elders saw this happen-stance and were shocked, yet sickly
amused.These Elders watched their people slay each other and began to take
sides. Then a wise young God named Auhms (pronounced all-ms), who was Lord
of machines and Dwarves, introduced BIO-ENGINEERING and enhancements.Soon
everyone had been "enhanced" and peace eventually restored with the Wisdom
that sometime comes with advancement.(NOTE:Being BIO-ORGANIC they may still
reproduce)

Borowitz Giants R.C.C.

The Borowitz are giant psychic humanoids from another world. Yet while
they are massive and powerfully built beings, they are not supernatural in
nature.
Despite what most smaller folk may think, the Borowitz are not plodding,
dim-witted brutes. They are very intelligent and have keen minds, even though
they are not very charismatic and tend to speak brutishly. All Borowitz have
an intrinsic love for games, both mental and physical. Disputes even between
mortal enemies are handled through gaming competition, whether it be athletic,
intellectual, or psychic. They often view other races as being "un-civilized"
because others are so quick to strike up arms against both friend and foe
alike, when the entire matter could be so easily settled in "Personal Gaming
Competition."
Worshipping no gods, the Borowitz have an almost religious devotion
toward their Elders. Their society is organized around a family-unity type of
structure. Each of the scores of different Orders are lead by a council of
twelve Elders. Each Order is composed of dozens and dozens of Clans, all of
which headed by their council of Elders. By tradition, every Clan in the
Order has a specific occupation. Every Order has its own Clan of merchants,
warriors, engineers, etc. The bitterest of competitions arise from clans
competing with similar occupational clans in other orders. Every fifteen
years, the occupational Clans from dozens of Orders will hold great Olympic-
style competitions, each trying to out do the other.

Alignment: Any, however the vast majority are anarchist, unprincipled, and
scrupulous. Regardless of alignment, all Borowitz are 100% loyal to their
Order.
Attributes: The number of dice rolled is as designated: I.Q. 3D6, M.E. 4D6,
M.A. 2D6, P.S. 4D6+10, P.P. 3D6+2, P.E. 4D6, P.B. 2D6, Spd 3D6. Their P.S.
and P.E. are considered to be at the supernatural level on magic supercharged
environments such as RIFTS Earth and Wormwood.
Hit Points: P.E.*5 +2D6 per level of experience.
S.D.C.: 2D4*100 on RIFTS Earth plus those gained from O.C.C.s and physical
skills, making the giant an equivalent light mega-damage structure (every 100
S.D.C. equals one M.D.C.).
Horror Factor: 11
P.P.E.: 6D6
Natural Abilities: Exceptional long range vision, night vision 40ft, heals ten
times as quickly as normal, and is naturally resistant to both magic fire and
magic cold (does half damage). Additionally, these giants's natural psychic
abilities are made even more powerful on RIFTS Earth.
Bonuses: +3 to save vs Horror Factor in addition to those gained from
attributes, O.C.C., and skill bonuses.
Damage: Restrained punch does 4D6 S.D.C. plus P.S. bonus, full strength strike
does 2D6 M.D., power strike 4D6 M.D. (counts as two attacks), and a kick does
3D6 M.D.
Magic: By O.C.C. only.
Psionics: All Borowitz giants are considered major psychics. Select five
Physical psionics and any three additional psionics from the categories of
Healing, Physical, and Sensitive. At levels three, six, nine, twelve, and
fifteen select one additional psionic from those categories. At levels four,
eight, and twelve select one super psionic.
O.C.C.: Virtually any O.C.C. (except Glitter Boy), including the CS Military
(equivalents).
Skills of Note: Speaks and is literate in Borowitz, and Troll, and speaks
Gobblely, all at 98%. Knows one extra ancient W.P. in addition to O.C.C.
skills. Also add +5% skill bonus to all Wilderness skills due to their
natural aptitude in that area.
Average Life Span: 250 years.
Habitat: Can be found anywhere. Considered a monster or D-Bee on RIFTS Earth.
Enemies: Generally indifferent to most, however they view most short folk with
disdain.
Allies: Non per se. May associate with anyone.

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Physical Appearance: These beings are massively built humanoids. Their skin
colour varies in shade from a dark golden honey to a light brown. Their limbs
are unusually long, resulting in a more gangly appearance. The most
noticeable difference that separates them from most other giants is the fact
that they are not cannibals!
Size: 12ft (3.63m) plus 6D6 inches.
Weight: 400 to 900lbs (180 to 410kg).
Notes: Borowitz tend to be surprisingly civilized, although they are more
aggressive toward smaller or weaker beings. They have quickly adapted to
RIFTS high technology and have a passion for vibro-blades and other weapons
that show the full extent of their skills.

CALLER OCC

Based on a character in Final Fantasy II, this lesser practitioner
of magic can do some amazing stuff.

REQUIREMENTS: ME 16, IQ 15, must start training as a child (All Callers start
at Level 2 except in a few special cases. For example, in Final Fantasy II,
Rydia would start at Level 1 because of the Mist Dragon's defeat).

tend to perceive them as Miscreant or Diabolic, as the most famous (and nasty)
are evil.

learned the same way as spells, with a different technique for each creature.
The Caller MUST
defeat that type of creature at least once before it can be summoned. only
need a memento or a tattoo of the creature {more often a memento} . the
monster if sentient must be of that alignment or gave consent . they start
with 3 animals ,1 monster and, 2 lesser monster below . calls May have a
familiar link like a Shifter . speaking of shifters a caller and a shifter can
open a rift to an unknown plane or planet [in case someone is making some
thing on espers and FF3] witch people other can people can go though. There's
many creatures on this place {plain or planet} that know about callers and are
willing to help. [note:there could be a natural rift open to that place.]
LIMITATIONS: If a called monster or creature dies, so does the Caller who
summoned it. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE! Same story for familiars,
but the familiar will otherwise live as long as the Caller A caller must be a
human or true atlantean.

ENHANCEMENTS: NO CYBERNETICE OR BIO-SYSTEMS! Bio-wizardry is allowed, but a
Caller will still only get this when ABSOLUTELY necessary, and ONLY to replace
something that was lost, NO enhancements. Even trying to get an enhancement
will kill the Caller, though new things like arms may be added safely if used
to replace a lost one. Also, something peculiar: If an enhancement is added
against the Caller's will (such as being turned into a Slave-Borg for the
Coalition) the Caller will survive.

Cambion RCC

CAMBION ALIENS
--------------

The Cambions are a human-like race from fairly deep within the Thundercloud
galaxy. They are the main force in a group of planets known as The Collective
of Free Planets. The Cambion home world is situated in a stange solar system.
The only thing that is contained in this solar system is the sun, Cam Solim,
the planet Cambi Prime with its five moons, and a spacial anomally much like a
black hole or worm hole. The hole, which has been named the Vortex, is the
only thing which orbits the sun. This means that the planet of Cambi Prime
orbits the Vortex! More precisely, the planet is caught in the Vortex, but
surprisingly seems to be stable and in no trouble of falling in. From the
earliest records of the Cambions it seems that the planet has always been
there, or it has been there at least since the Cambions arrived. The Cambions
were probably humans once, but millenia of living on the edge of the vortex
has altered them making slight differences. NOTE: Cambions make up almost
45% of the Collective. See "The Collective" for more information.

Cambions are almost identical to humans in appearance, except their skin has
a dusky grey tinge and their ears have a slight point. Hair colour is
normally black, dark brown, or white, with other colors existing but very rare
(red hair is considered a bad omen, and usually coloured).



Alignment: Any, but typically good.
Attributes: I.Q. 3d6+1, M.E. 3d6+3, M.A. 3d6, P.S. 3d6, P.P. 4d6+3,
P.E. 3d6+1, P.B. 3d6, Spd. 4d6
Size: Five to seven feet tall.
Weight: 100 to 250 pounds.
M.D.C.: By armour or magic only.
S.D.C./Hit Points: Standard+30, and double normal hit points.
Horror Factor: None.
P.P.E.: 4d6, unless magic O.C.C.
Average Life Span: 180 years.
Natural Abilities: Nightvision 40 ft and immune to radiation. Also have
near perfect hand to eye coordination when piloting vehicles,
add +10% to any piloting skills.
Psionic Powers: Standard; basically the same as humans.
Magic Powers: Only if a magic O.C.C. is selected.
Combat: Normal; varies with skills.
Vulnerabilities/Penalties: None.
O.C.C.s: Virtually any! Most lean towards fighter pilots and other pilot
classes. The Cambions discovered magic about fifty years ago from
a highly magical race that the FWDC discovered (actually elves).
Cambions have taken well to magic, and are especially favoured
towards Techno-Wizardry. The Cambions also have a special class,
known as the psi-pilot. These are people with ambient psionic powers,
that develop a highly specialized form of telemechanics for the use
of interacting with vehicles. In the last 25 years the Cambions
have shared this knowledge with other races, and it has recently
appeared among pilots in the CCW, making Turbo-Jockeys very jealous.
Alliances and Allies: The Cambions work well with all of the races
in the collective, and are also friendly with most of the races near
the colective that were not destroyed by the insectmen. They are
also forming a treaty with the CCW, and are friendly with any race
with a "goodly" disposition.

Coalition Centurion O.C.C.

The Coalition Centurion is a combat specialist who is trained to work
with Inquisitors. Primarily, they aid the with investigations, although they
are also used as a highly visible police force.
Centurions are an elite group, numbering even less than the Sea Wolf
oceanic units. They are usually arrogant and ruthless in fulfilling their
duties, especially when dealing with non-humans. Centurions will occasionally
be deployed as members of regular fighting groups, but will mostly serve with
the Inquisitors.
Inside the Coalition States, the sight of a Centurion will often bring
some fear and uneasiness into the hearts of criminals. The sight of a
Centurion is usually the first sign of a major crackdown of Coalition law-
enforcement. They are part of the Coalition police forces, but are principally
the enforcers of the will of the Inquisitors.
Centurions begin their career at the rank of Sergeant, although they are
not bound to obey orders from superior officers unless they have been assigned
to a regular soldier's unit.
Although it is not a requirement, at least 55% of all Centurions are
minor and major psychics. Telepathic individuals are valued highly and placed
with psychic sensitive Inquisitors.

Coalition Commando O.C.C.

The Coalition commando is a highly trained, combat-oriented specialist
whose job is to act as counter-insurgent and counter-terrorist. These soldiers
are deployed under the command of Coalition military specialists, and are used
extensively as members of long-range patrols outside the borders of the
Coalition States. They are also deployed as members of reactionary units
within the Coalition States to quell uprisings or other threats to the
Coalition States. Due to the speed and efficiency that Coalition commandoes
carry out their assigned tasks, they are known as "Swifts" both within and
without the Coalition States.

Coalition Deathknight OCC (Elite Infantry)

During Proseks improvements in the army, he came up with an idea. Take
the best Raw recruits and put them through a year of training that would make
hell look like fun. There is an amazing 54% fatality rate in the training!
None the less, it has created the ultimate unit. Dedicated, trained, and most
definitely lethal. If that wasn't enough, they are given a dna modifying virus
that enhances their attributes (as if they weren't high enough all ready).
Note that Prosek has made this OCC available only to men. This is following
with his idolization of Hitler, who didn't like women in his spec ops units.
Note: Because this unit is new, no member is currently above 3rd level, and
none are older then 19.

Attribute Requirements IQ:14, ME: 17, PS: 17, PE: 20, PP: 17, SPD: 14

Training Bonuses
+3 PS, + 6 PE, +2 PP, +2 SPD, +40 SDC, +1 attack per melee, +2 save vs. Horror
Factor +1 roll with punch/impact, +1 dodge, +1 strike (hth and ranged weapon),
+3 save vs. psionics, +5 save vs. Mind Control, +1 save vs. Poisons

Gene Engineered bonuses
+4 PS, +4 PE, +2 PP, +4 SPD, +50 SDC, +1 attack per melee, can lift 2x person
of normal strength. Needs only 6 hours of sleep. Can stay alert and ready for
up to 3 days.

PPE: Standard
Magic: None
ISP: 2d4

Psionics: Because of their unusually harsh and training, they have the natural
ability to, twice daily, do either Impervious to Cold, Impervious to Fire,
Nightvision, or Summon Inner Strength. They can also use the powers Resist
Fatigue, Resist Hunger, and Resist Thirst indefinitely. These are not true
psionics, so they require no ISP to do. It is possible because of the ultra-
intense nature of their training. All of these are the equivalent of a third
level psionic.

Healing: Because of their DNA modification, they recover 2d6 SDC/HP every 2
hours.

Power Punch: The Power Punch of a Death Knight does 1d4-1 MD (if zero, its
still the equivalent of 50 sdc damage)

Senses: The Deathknight has senses that are as good as a human can get. Even
if they had an impairment before, the DNA modification changed that. This is
represented in their training bonus.

Realizing the Need to give these new troops their own unique armor,

full PA.
MDC: 120
Weight: 75 ilbs (supported by exoskeleton)
Fair Mobility: (-10% prowl)
Exoskeleton Bonuses: +6 PS, +10 Speed, +5 feet jumping distance (up and

1d4 MD and Power Punch for 1d6 MD.
Penalty: Takes 2x longer to suit up.
Black Market Cost: NOT AVAILABLE!!! If for some reason it would be become
available, where talking 2 to 3 million because of its scarceness.
Colors: Solid Black

Note On DeathKnights
These characters, including PC's, are 100% LOYAL TO THE CS. There are NO
exceptions. You're probably saying "Why, surely one of them would want to
defect." Let me explain something. Neither myself nor any of you out there
could possibly understand the bond between Deathknights. We have neither the
honor, nor the experience required to realize just how strong this bond is.
We're talking a bond that, in all likelihood, could transcend even Death
itself. There is no such thing as a traitor. This is, admittedly, part of
their genetic code, but it goes beyond even that. GM's take note, THERE ARE NO
EXCEPTIONS! This means there alignment is ALWAYS aberrant.

Coalition Entertainment Specialist O.C.C.

Coalition entertainment specialists are a small and select group of
people who couldn't quite cut it as soldiers, but are still dedicated to the
cause of the Coalition. Rather than not use these men and women at all,
someone had the bright idea of creating a new position for these people.
Thus, Coalition recruits who are better suited for fun and games instead
of combat are intensely trained to become entertainment specialists. They are
sent to remote outposts to help bolster the morale of front-line personnel,
and are occasionally sent to help "break the ice" when the Coalition is
negotiating to annex new areas.
The entertainment specialist has gained the nickname of "Gomer Boy" from
fellow Coalition troops, and this is the name that outsiders tend to refer to
them with. Cruel officers will sometimes assign a Gomer Boy to a SAMAS RPA
Elite officer, just to see the Sam suffer under the attention of the Gomer
Boy.
Note that Gomer Boys can be either male or female, and are pretty much
permanently stuck at the rank of corporal, much to the dismay of the Coalition
Grunts, who sometimes take orders from the Gomer Boys.

Attribute Requirements: P.P. 10 or higher.

various inflatable things, various stage magic items, energy sidearm of
choice, four extra E-clips, survival knife, robot medical kit, pocket
computer, utility belt, uniform, combat boots, canteen, and additional non-
energy weapon of choice. Gomer Boys invariably use a flashy, multi-colored,
garish-looking hovercycle that catches the eye of everyone and everything it
passes. Usually has a few wind-driven noisemakers attached as well, for that
added touch of the absurd.

Equipment Available Upon Assignment: Vehicles include conventional military
vehicles, hovercraft, and jet packs. Most weapon types, extra ammunition,
camera equipment, sensory equipment, and food rations for weeks. Also has
access to vehicle and equipment repair. Note: All weapons and equipment are
given out on an as needed basis, with the commanding officer deciding whether
or not the item(s) is really necessary or not. If the officer doesn't like the
character(s), the availability of items may be extremely limited.

Money: The entertainment specialist gets a roof over his head, food, clothing,
and all other basics provided free as part of his pay, as well as access to
military facilities. Plus a monthly salary of 1900 credits, starting off with
one month's pay. The quarters for the entertainment specialist are the same as
those for the SAMAS officer.

Coalition Inquisitor O.C.C.

Within the ranks of the Coalition States is a secretive band of internal
police known as the Inquisitors. They are the shadowy figures in the
background who appear from nowhere to deal out justice to wrongdoers.
An inquisitor is an extremely well-trained and highly motivated
individual who operates slightly out of the normal chain of command. An
inquisitor answers to no one in the military hierarchy, and instead follows
only the commands of the highest echelons. Likewise, they cannot legally issue
orders to the military, but their soft-spoken "advice" is usually followed to
the letter. However, they are commonly allowed to commandeer units up to squad
size to aid in the capture of criminals.
The inquisitors serve as a preventative measure against insurrection and
unrest among the populace, as opposed to the more reactionary stance of the
military. Their mission is to search out rebels and eliminate the threat they
pose to the survival of the Coalition States, and thus to the survival of the
human race.
Inquisitors are not restricted in the methods that they may use to roust
terrorists. Indeed, they are highly rewarded for creativity in their pursuit
of dangerous criminals. They also command a special military cadre known as
Centurions, who aid them in their investigations.
It is a unique phenomenon that the inquisitors actively recruit
psychics. Their paranormal abilities allow them to discover bad elements in
Coalition society that much easier, and add to the fear and mystique that
accompanies their profession. As a result, 75% of all Inquisitors are major
psionics, and are so heavily indoctrinated into Coalition beliefs that they
would never consciously betray the Coalition.

Combat Mage OCC

Roll up stats as normal for a human. Humans are the only race
allowed for this OCC. The Combat Mage is a man of magic OCC. The
combat mage must be male. Sort of like a Valkyrie must be female.
Remember to get your GM's approval before using this powerful OCC.
This class can be of any alignment, but only rarely are they evil.

Requirements:

IQ: 12, ME: 10, PS: 12, PP: 10, PE: 12, Spd: 8


Bonuses (Special)

+3 to save vs. Horror Factor at Level 1
+1 to save vs. Horror Factor at levels 3, 5, 8, and 12
+1 to ME +2 to PS +2 to PP +2 to PE +1 to SPD
+3d4x10 SDC
+5 HP


Psionics


A Combat Mage has the following Psionics:

Healer: Bioregeneration
Physical: Impervious to Fire, Impervious to Cold, Summon
Inner Strength
Sensitive: Mind Block, See the Invisible

Plus, chose 2 more from the Physical category and 1 from the
Healer category.

At Level 5, the Combat Mage gets the Psi Sword super psionic,
but it costs 2x the normal amount of ISP and lasts for only 3
minutes per 4 levels of experience. At Level 7, the mage gets the
Psi-Shield ability, but it only lasts for 1 minute per 5 levels of
experience and it only ever has 45 MDC.

ISP is 2d4x10+ME at level 1. Add 2 per additional level of
experience. Saves as a Master Psionic.

Magic


At first level, the character has 2d6x10+PE PPE. Add 3d6 per level
of experience. At first level, the character has the following
spells:

Thunder Clap, Fear, Befuddle, Turn Dead, Armor of Ithan,
Energy Bolt, Invisibility: Simple, and Fire Bolt.

Also chose 3 first level spells and 1 second level spell at first
level.

At every Level, a character may chose as many spells as his
new level. He may chose them from the level 1 below his current
experience level. For instance, see the following chart:


X.P Lvl # of Spells Max Lvl

and so on.

Other Bonuses

+1 to parry and dodge at levels 2 and 7
+1 attack at levels 3 and 10
+1 to HTH damage at level 5


The Combat Mage and Vampires


A Combat Mage may never be turned into a vampire. Vampire MD
attacks to SD if they are in direct contact with the Combat Mage.
This means vs. Armor and MDC protection spells and psionics, the
attacks are still full MD, but against the skin of the mage,
they're only SD. Finally, by using all his melee attacks, a Mage
can permanently remove 1d6 HP/SDC from a vampire. This damage is
never healed back by the vamp., and it can kill a vamp. If the
vamps HP falls below -30, but it would take to long unless the
vamp. is properly restrained. On the same hand, if the vampire
that the Mage harmed by this method kills the Mage, it gains
back all the previously permanently lost HP/SD

The Combat Mage and Dragons

When a Combat Mage is fighting a dragon, the dragon's MD attacks
on the mage's skin react just as the vampires MD attacks do, they
convert to SD.

The Combat Mage and Other Supernatural Foes


When other supernatural foes but the above 2 fight a combat mage,
they're attacks against the skin of the C. Mage are reduced by
1/2. The are not converted to SD and the minimum for a MD attack
is 1.

Crimson Warrior OCC

Crimson Warriors are the elite shock troops of the city state of New Picton
The power armour is a holy relic, far superior in design to anything Triax
or the CS have produced, and completely irreplacable. All known suits of CW
armour are accounted for by NewPic. Renegades exist, but these are rare and
generally hunted down.
In general Crimson Warriors are much like GBs, except much more patriotic.
They are proud, brave and noble, the defenders of their people.

Alignment: Any but generally Good. NewPic military forces cannot have
a criminal record so most are good or Unprincipalled.
Atribute Requirements: P.P. 12, I.Q. 10, P.E. 12 or better
Appearance: Crimson Warrior armour is decribed below. The pilots must be
healthy and fit.
Enemies & Allies: Same as NewPic. They have neutral relations with the CS,
friendly with Traix and hate demonic legions like Atlantis
Starting Equipment: Crimson Warrior power armour with full weapons
Any light body armour
Energy rifle and 4 E-Clips
6 signal flares, survival knife, utility belt, air
filter & gas mask, walkie-talkie, three uniforms, dress
uniform, boots, canteen, first aid kit, and personals.
Money: 2d6 x 1000 in credit. CWs get top money and luxuries.

later, but avoids

mortal humanoids. No race with natural magic.

Crimson Warrior Power Armour
---------------------------------
This type of power armour is depicted on the cover of Aliens Unlimited. It
stands about 8 feet tall, fairly short and squat compared to other PA.
Its armour is a dark crimson colour (due to the construction, and this can't
be painted over ) with four grey spheres on the chest, and two grey cones
protrubing from the back.

Model Type: Gamma Technologies GT-4
Class: Heavy Assault Power Armour
Crew: One pilot

M.D.C. By Location:
Main Body - 820
Head - 350
Legs(2) - 350 each
Arms(2) - 300 each
Reinforced Pilots Compartment - 100
Phase Rifles(2) - 120 each
EMP Mines(4) - 60 each

Speed:
Running 45 mph maximum
Leaping or Flying is not possible

Statistical Data:
Height - 8 feet 4 inches ( 2.5m )
Width - 5 feet ( 1.5m )
Length - 6 feet ( 1.8m )
Weight - 1.4 tons fully loaded
Physical Strength - Equal to a P.S. of 35
Cargo - Space for all the pilots possessions, but little more.
Power Systems - Unknown, average energy life is unknown but greater than
20 years
Black Market Cost: Not available. If a CW armour was to become available it
would go for 200 million or more, plus NewPic would go
to great lengths to retrieve it.

Weapons Systems
1. GT-4.1 Phase Rifles
These characteristic weapons of the CW armour fire high volt, phased
electrolasers. Duplicating these weapons is the subject of much research at
NewPic.
Primary Purpose: Assault and Anti-Armour
Secondary Purpose: Defense
Weight: Built into the armour
Mega-Damage: Inflicts 1d6 x 10 M.D. to mechanised opponents, plus pilots
suffer 4d6 S.D.C.! The electrolasers are conducted straight
through even M.D. insulation and protection.
Fires straight through force-fields ( magical, psionic or
otherwise ) inflicting damage only to the physical body.
Rate of Fire: Equal to the pilots hand to hand attacks. Bursts and sprays
are not possible.
Maximum Effective Range: 4000 feet
Payload: Effectively Unlimited

2. EMP Mines
The CW also carries a set of mines on the shoulders. These mines operate on
a similar principal to the phase rifles.
Mega-Damage: 1d6 M.D. plus pilots suffer 6d6 S.D.C. Same as Phase Rifles.
Blast Radius: 120 feet!

3. Hand to Hand Combat
Same as a GB.

4. Sensr Systems of Note
The CW uses a virutal reality interface. The pilot must have a universal
headjack, and once plugged in can use any of his normal senses, including
touch, taste, smell, sound and sight.
Also get equivalent to multi-optics, radar, motion detection, and all the
normal robot features.

gon Hatchlings RCC

Otherwise known as Diamond Dragons or Glitter Dragons, these magnificent
beasts are incredibly beautiful, and hunted for their priceless skin.
Crystal Dragons are fairly rare. They resemble normal dragons, except their
skin is a brilliant reflective surface like a diamond, giving them the
benfits of Laser-Resistnt armour. This skin is usually white/translucent but
can be blue, red, green, black and virtually any other non-metallic colour.
Crystal Dragons aren't as tough as other species of dragon, but still very
powerful on a human scale.

Attributes:
I.Q. 6 M.E. 5 M.A. 5 P.S. 3 P.P. 4 P.E. 4 P.B. 7 Spd. 5

P.P.E.: 1d4 x 10 + 20
Mega-Damage: 1d6 x 50
Armour Rating: Skin is a mega-damage substance that is imperviosu to normal
weapons. Magic, Psionics and most mega-damage weapons have full effect.
The shimmering skin of a Crystal Dragon is laser resistant, so lasers and
any light based attacks do half-damage.

Natural Abilities: Nightvision 90 ft, see the invisible, resistant to fire
and cold, can bio-regenerate 1d4 x 10 MD every 5 minutes, and is never
blinded by light regardless of intensity.
Fly 50mph ( 80 kph )
Wings are laser immune ( no damage from laser attacks ) and can be used to
parry such attacks ( +3 to parry )
Aura of Light; The dragon can generate a bright blindly white light around
itself. No damage ( unless Vampire or similar, then 4d6 ) but opponents
within 40ft are -8 to strike, parry and dodge while the light is in effect
and 1d4 melees afterwards. Opponents within 120ft are -4 to strike, parry
and dodge while the light is in effect.
Super-Nova; as a last resort the dragon can explode in an intense
thermo-nuclear fireball, inflicting 2d4 x 100 MDC on everybody within 200 ft
and 1d4 x 100 MDC on the dragon itself.

Psionics: Major Psionic, select any 8 powers from healing, physical or
sensitive, and 2 super psionic powers except Mind Wipe, Psi-Sword and
Possess Others. ISP 3d6 x 10

Magic: Full understanding of Magic, but can cast no spells until 3rd level.

Cyber-Ranger OCC



80 Years ago the Cyber Knights appeared. 60 Years ago the
Cyber-Warriors appeared. A mere 20 Years ago (Circa 83 P.A.) the
Cyber-Rangers appeared. A sort of super wilderness scout, the
Rangers are the stealth and senses of the Cyber trilogy. They are
silent and can make normal wilderness scouts seem as natural as
Chi-Town.
Training: The Cyber-Rangers have probably the hardest
training of any of the three Cybers. Their training begins at age
10, and continues until age 20. They must be taught by a Cyber
Ranger of at least 7th level. Word has it that Lord Coake himself
encouraged this branch's creation and helped in its separation
from the Cyber-Knights. Use the Dragon Experience table.

Alignment: Any good or selfish.

Attribute Requirements: IQ 9, ME 12, PS 10, PP 6, PE 14, Spd 7

Psionic Powers


Roll a 1d10. On a 1-8 The character has no psionics (With the
exception of the choices provided later), only 1d6 ISP, and is
considered a Minor Psionic. On a 9-0 (10) the character is a Major
Psionic and may chose 5 powers from the following list at level 1
and 2 more at levels 3 and 7:

Bio-Regeneration, Deaden Pain, Healing touch, Increased
Healing, Alter Aura, Impervious to Cold, Impervious to Fire
Impervious to Poison/Toxin, Resist Fatigue, Resist Hunger,
Resist Thirst, See the Invisible, Sense Evil, Sense Magic,
and Sixth Sense.


Powers: Chose 2 from the following 5:

1. Psi-Bow: A bow that shoots MD arrows up to 500 feet away. This
is like a Psi-Axe/Sword in that it can be used indefinitely and
costs no ISP/PPE. It does 1d4 MD at level one, 1d6 at level 3, 2d6
at level 6, 3d6 at level 8, and 5d6 at level 13. Effective range
is 500 feet. If character chooses this, he automatically receives
WP Targeting.

2. MDC Being: Drop all HP/SDC and the character becomes a MDC
being with 3d6+1 MDC. Add 1d4 MDC at levels 5, 8, and 1. All
Physical skill SDC bonuses are DROPPED. They do not become MDC.

3. Enhanced Senses: Character automatically has nightvision to
200 feet, see the invisible to 500 feet, sense magic, sense evil,
sixth sense, see aura, and can hear as well as a dog and smell as
well as a Crazy.

4. Super Stealth: The character can, 3 times a day with each
time lasting 2 hours, become totally Invisible to ALL methods of
detection. This means not even see the invisible will detect him.
He cannot be heard (unless he wants to be), and cannot be smelled.
He still appears on Radar, and can be felt and has weight.

5. Enhanced Abilities: Add 2D6 to PE, 2d4 to PS, 1d6 to PP,
1d4x10 to SPD, 1d4 to ME and IQ, 1d6 to HP, and 1d4x10 to SDC

to ME, 1d6 to PS and PP, 1d4 to IQ. Add 1 attack per melee. Add
+3 to parry and Dodge. Add +4d6 to SDC.

Cyber Ranger. The object being placed will not go with in a 1/2
inch of the character. No matter how hard or fast it is being
pushed/going. This does not affect other characters cyber- or
biosystems. Only ones that are being put in the Ranger.

Code of Honor: Defend the Weak. Protect the Innocent. Help the
Needy. Slay Evil. Protect INNOCENT animals (this does not include
intelligent species, they fall under the Help Needy clause).


=============================================================================

CYBER-RUNNER OCC

DESIGNED FOR USE AS AN NPC VILLAIN
None of the -Runners likes or even respects the Cyber-Runners, or CR's.
To call any other -Runner a CR is an incredible insult, and will likely get
the one who said it killed. CR's are ruthless, uncaring souls who seek only
to destroy the other types or -Runners and anything that stands in their way.
Their powers are gained by way of a techno-wizard cybernetic implant so
powerful that even the hyper-phobic Coalition has looked into these.

CYBER-RUNNER
ALIGNMENT: The C-Runner will have eight personalities, one of each alignment.
To see which one comes out at any one time, roll 1d20. On a 1-19, the
diabolic personalitiy will surface, On a 20, roll 1d8 and consult the table
SURFACING PERSONALITY TABLE
1=Diabolic
2=Abberrant
3=Miscreant
4=Anarchist
5=Unprincipled
6=Scrupulous
7=Principled
8=Diabolic
The number that is rolled corresponds to the personality that surfaces. Note
that only the Diabolic and Miscreant personalities can use the CR powers, but
each personality is only aware of the other (the Diabolic personality will NOT
let the Miscreant personality out because "he's a wuss." The Miscreant
personality considers the Diabolic personality out because "that guy's
crazy.") The other personalities, however, are aware of all the other
personalities and usually (50% likely for anarchist, automatic for others)
will feel guilty for the havoc the evil personalities bring about. NONE of
these personalities will let the Diabolic or Miscreant personalities surface
if they can help it.
REQUIERMENTS: none
BONUSES: +3 to all attributes
PSIONICS: Psi-Sword, Psi-Armor, Bio-Manipulation, all kinds of -kinesis,
Hypnotic Suggestion, Telepathy, and Death Trance. Permanent ISP 500
MAGIC: None. PPE 6d6
SKILLS: As for former OCC, but gains Pilot Robots & PA (what's honor to a CR?)
MONEY: These guys are greedy beyond all human belief. Often, the typical CR
(which, I will stress again, is a VILLAIN and should NEVER be used as a player
character,) has at least 20 million credits and 100 million in black market
items.
GEAR: Varies from CR to CR, but ALWAYS has: a suit of power armor, various
kinds of rune weapons, usually several robots, and a whole lot of other
valuable stuff.
FRIENDS: Evil personalities: Splugorth and Coalition
Other personalities: Anything else (note that Abberrant counts as an "other"
personality)
ENEMIES: Evil personalities: Anything that could be considered a friend of the
other personalities
Other personalities: Splugorth and Coalition
ENHANCEMENTS: Any

Cyber-Warrior OCC


About 80 years ago, the Cyber Knights emerged. What no one
knew was, about 60 years ago, an off shoot of the Cyber Knights
occurred also. Called the Cyber-Warriors, they are similar to the
Cyber-Knights, but more concerned with raw combat. They were also
mostly Unprincipled. Their numbers remained few (less he 100) up
until 5 years ago. Their numbers have since tripled and are still
growing (Only nowhere near as fast). The Cyber Warriors are all
good, but a good comparison between the Cyber Warriors and Cyber
Knights would be the Knights of Camelot and the Rival Cavaliers.
The Warriors are a rowdy bunch who love a good scrap and never
back down. But their nowhere near as civilized or intelligent as
the Cyber-Knights.
Training: Unlike the Cyber-Knights, all the Cyber Warriors
have do is train with a high level Cyber Warrior for 2 years. He
teaches them all they need to know. This warrior must be of at
least 5th level. The PC will always start at first level. Use the
Cyber Knight Experience table.

character loses the Psi-Axe ability.

Attribute Requirement: PS 12, PP 6, PE 11, Spd 6.

Psionic Powers


Roll a 1d10. On a 1-9, the character has no psionic powers but the
Psi-Axe, and has only 1d4 ISP and is considered a Minor Psionic.
On a 0 (10), the character gets the Psi-Axe AND chose 1 power from
each of the categories (Not including Super). ISP is 1d4x10 +2 per
level of experience and the character is considered a Major
Psionic.

Powers


Psi-Axe: Similar to the Psi-Sword, the Psi Axe is more powerful.
It follows the same rules of it looks reflect its user. The
starting MD is 2d6. Add 1d6 at levels 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 13, and
15.

Daemonite RCC

The Daemonites are a race of evil alien creatures who came into
this world before the time of rifts. There was originally a mistake in
sending the Daemonites and Kherubim (their arch enemies) were sent to
earth. It was a small number of each race transported. Both integrated into
the earth society and prospered. The Kherubim had good intentions, while
the Daemonites sought to conquer the earth. They slowly built their numbers
and sought out a way to bring their kin to earth in order to conquer it.
The Daemonites were not very successful in their quest until the time of
rifts. The Daemonites are magical creatures who gained strength and
confidence with the rebirth of magic on the earth. With this new found
strength and power, the Daemonites set their plan in full gear. They
utilized their unique power to gain strong warriors and to discover ways to
find their home world.
The Daemonites continue to work to find their home world. When and
if they do, they will call forth all of their forces to conquer earth and
all the connecting realities through the rifts. The Daemonites are not
super powered or super strong creatures. It is there amazing ability that
sets them apart and their devotion to the cause that motivates the entire
race to succeed. The Daemonites can possess and take control of any being.
This process is painful and destructive for the victim, while quite
rewarding for the Daemonite. The Daemonite gains all the abilities and
skills of the victim while retaining its own psyche. The only ways to
remove the Daemonite are through exorcism, or by killing the Daemonite and
victim. The frightening part about the Daemonite's ability is that they may
possess any person that they want. They can possess the regular "Joe" or a
Splugorth. Any person that they possess is under their total control. The
only limitation is that they may possess only one being at a time. They
must also possess intelligent life forms.The Daemonite race as a whole has
a sick obsession with the conquering of worlds and the destruction of other
races or complete control over them (especially the Kherubim). Throughout
the world, Daemonites are driven by their obsession and live with no code;
merely to conquer.
*Information based on ideas and characters of Jim Lee's "WildC.A.T.s,"
Image Comics

Typical Daemonite
All Daemonites fall into the same general class. There appears an
unspoken hierarchy of strength and intelligence who step up to lead the
mass destruction.
Alignment: All of evil alignment, possibly anarchist.
Attributes: IQ-3D6+2, ME-5D6+2, MA-3D6, PS-6D6+2 (supernatural), PP-4D6+4,

Weight: 250 to 400 lbs
Height: 8 to 10 feet
Average Level of Experience: 1D4+4
Natural Abilities: Possession- the Daemonite may possess any intelligent
creature. By doing so, it gains all the abilities and skills of that
creature. The Daemonite knows all magic, psionics, powers, etc. associated
with the victim. The Daemonite retains its own psyche and doesn't know the
memories of the victim, only his skills etc. The Daemonite can only be
removed through exorcism or by killing the victim and Daemonite together
(usually the Daemonite will abandon its host before it dies). Exorcism of
the Daemonite causes 5D6 MDC damage to the creature and temporarily stuns
it (loses one attack, no initiative). Night vision- 400 ft. Note- The
creature's strength does not come physically, it is in its ability to take
over powerful beings and control them. Most often when left out of its
host, the Daemonite will run and fight at a later time, with a powerful
host.
Combat: Five physical attacks, or number of attacks of host body (only if
greater).

psionics. Invulnerable to a vampire's bite, or other forms of

Psionics: ISP 1D4x10; Bio-Regenerate (self), Mind Block, Alter Aura, Sixth
Sense

Tracking (+15%), Intelligence (+10%), Prowl (+10%), Wilderness Survival
(+10%), plus select one piloting, two WP's, 1 Science, and two Physical.
Also any skills of the possessed victim.
Physical Appearance: A tall pinkish-gray humanoid. It is hunched over and
has an elongated head with large sharp teeth. Large hands with big claws on
each finger are connected to long strong arms. A small pair of arms is
located underneath the first pair. These are extra claws for damaging foes.
The two legs are thin and quick. Daemonites are very hideous looking. They
are seldom seen in their natural state, for they are usually in possession
of someone else's body. Seldom will wears body armor in natural state.
Average Life-Span: 3000+ years
Insanity: Multiple exorcisms can lead to insanity. Each time it takes
place, after the initial time, roll on the following table.
01-20 Frightened, will run from the chance of being exorcised, when it
feels its losing.
21-40 Frightened of psychics, will never possess one and will not ally with
one.
41-60 Never will possess someone again, would rather die.
61-80 Loves it, will almost invite exorcism upon itself.
81-00 Frightened of Daemonites, will hunt them down to kill them, still evil.

DARK ELF RCC

DARK ELVES DISCOVERY

Eons and Eons ago before the fall of the Old Ones, the animosity was
beginning to be felt. As a precautionary measure the old ones create a race
of Half Elves. They were a Hybrid of the first elfs and of Dragons, they
appeared to be normal elves. They became the Avatars and Knights of the Old
Ones. They were the Purest of all the races. They knew they had power, but
they couldn't harness it because of there masters -- The Old Ones. As the
Animosity and Tensions grew, so did the daringness of the Dark Elves. Then
without warning the Dark Elves turned there backs on the Old Ones. They did
this Hours before there slumber, it is rumored that the Dark Elves may have
been there true Killers. They will never talk about that time.
The years that followed proved to be the Golden Age for the Dark Elves.
They Built Mighty Empires and became a major force, but there numbers were
small, only perhaps 100,000. Then came The Great Awaking when there Evil
Finally Began To Leave Them, This only Happened to Three-Quarters though,
they called them selfs the "Dea Simil'rians" which is Translated to "High
Elves". This started a great war Between the Mor'drow Simil'rians and The Dea
Simil'rians. This almost destroyed both races.
The Mor'drow's have learned to accept the Dwarven nations due to a
certain trait they share with a majority of them, Elven Hatred.

Now The Mor'drow number may be as high as 15,000. But no matter how
many there are they are Evil.


Ala'raz Azure Tek'laus
Scribe of the
Arcannus

Notes Taken By Ala'raz about 10 years ago in a dimension that was up For
Arcannus takeover.

Day 25 of Observation
I write from a Dimension we will call De'Alps it is a fairly advanced
dimension. They are composed of 7 Kingdoms all Under there own Kings, but
they answer to a head of Dimension, they call him De'alps Lucard Di' Dead'
Dor. He is a powerful Priest and Mage of an Unknown Religious order, it
appears to be an off shoot of the Dragonwrite religion.

Day 35 of Observation
I write now from a hidden Elven alcove in a forest just 25 miles north
of Lucard's Palace. I was hunted down the last 7 days. Some how or another
Lord Lucard has a copy of my first Note. My Inquiries to the Arcannus Circle
still say the take over is still going to happen.

Day 48 of Observation
Battle!!!!
The Invasion has started i now fear for my life knowing that within the
first day of battle the death count ratio is 10:1 favoring Lucard. This
appears to be the first down fall of the Arcannus.

Day 50 of Obsevation
After a Discussion with some of the rebels on our side i have come to
the conclusion that the Arcannus Must leave, I fear Lord Lucard and his Noble
men are Dark Elves. My guide Treador Kaldean was once a slave for Lucard he
explains, "After some years i notices a change in my master his evil ways have
begun to show, an aura of Darkness fills his Black Marble Palace."

Death Dragon RCC

by Sean
([e-mail])

Attributes: IQ: 2D6+4, ME: 10D6, MA: 9D6, PS: 5D6, PP: 4D6, PE:
5D6, PB: ?, SPD: 7D6
PS is supernatural. 85 mph FLYING

PPE: 1D6x10 (+3D6/level) ISP: 1D10x10
MDC: 1D4x100+100 Horror Factor: 20
Alignment: ANY but usually selfish or evil; some are good.

Natural Abilities:
1. Mesmerize: This power is sort of like the spell the King
priest of Istar uses in the Dragonlance Legends series. People
remember the horror and fear of seeing the Dragon but won't
remember the exact details of the Dragon.
2. Death Sense: The Dragon is able to sense, through the use of
PPE, where there is going to be major amounts of deaths occurring.
This sense does not tell exactly where or when it is going to
happen or who is going to die. It is more like a force that pulls
the Dragon to the place of oncoming death.
3. Soul Trap: This is not what the rumors make it out to be.
Instead of entrapping the soul, it absorbs the released PPE that
creatures emanate upon death. This is different that most other
creatures that use PPE to function, instead of only using a small
amount of that released energy and having to use it right away,
the Dragon will store all the released energy and can store for up
to 2 months. Their is a limit to how much PPE the Dragon can
store, the limit is 800 PPE. There are two ways the Dragon can
use this PPE:
PPE Discharge: This is the release of all the stored PPE at
one time. This discharge inflicts 1D6+10 MDC to the Dragon
itself. Once it leaves the Dragons body if forms an oddly
shaped 50 foot ball of energy that can only go in a straight
line for 2,000 feet:
1st 500ft. is 3d6x10 MDC to anyone hit
2nd 500ft. is 2D6x10 MDC
3rd 500ft. is 1d6x10 MDC
4th 500ft. is 4d6 MDC
PPE Withdrawal: The scales can hold the PPE for up to 2
months, and while this the Dragon can use the PPE anyway it
wishes. Once a Dragon reaches 5th level it is able to
manipulate PPE even better than before. It is able to mold
PPE into a solid object that resembles anything the Dragon
wants it to look like. The object can walk and do simple
tasks. But the creation is actually a shell of what it is
made to resemble, it can't talk or think, and it shall die
out after a month. The Dragon has total control over his own
creation. Cost to create one is 100 PPE.
4. Smoke of Anger: If the Dragon is running low on PPE or hasn't
come upon any deaths yet it will probably resort to this attack in
order get more PPE. If a character fails a roll vs. spell at -4
then they fall into a rage, attacking anything it sees except the
Dragon. The smoke cloud is actually a very fine mist that covers
a 100ft radius for 1D6 rounds.
5. Feed off PPE: When people die their PPE is released from their
body. PPE is doubled at time of death. The dragon is able to
absorb any PPE within a 100ft radius.

Death Dragons don't like ley lines or Nexus points. This is due
to the fact that their scales overload in their attempt to absorb
all the PPE If the Dragon is to close to a ley line (500 ft) it
will eventually die.
1st minute: Dragon is slightly dizzy -2 to strike, parry, and
dodge
2nd minute: Burning sensation on Dragons scales
3rd minute: Pain increasing Dragon takes 1D6x10 MDC
4th minute: Pain intense take 3D6x10 MDC
5th minute: Roll vs. unconsciousness take 3D10x10 MDC
6th minute: Roll vs. Death take 6D10x10 MDC
7th minute: Dragon explodes
If dragon dies at any stage his PPE will be released at triple the
range and damage of the PPE Discharge ability. Also blast is not
in just one direction it occurs in all directions, their is no
chance to dodge this blast.

6. Nightvision with a range of 1000 ft.

Skills: Same as all other Dragons (see page 98 of Rifts book).

Psionics: Dragon considered a minor psionic due to their
inability to manipulate their powers so that they can gain powers.
The powers that they had at birth are the only ones they can have.
Pick 7 from the following list:

Deaden Pain
Detect Psionics
Induce Sleep
Alter Aura
Mind Block

At 10th level can learn 2 new spells from 3rd through 9th level

any spells that have to do with rifts or dimensional travel.

Background:
The Death Dragons are the rarest and most mysterious of all
Dragons known to mankind. They have been seen only a few times in
the last 5 years. When Death Dragons are seen it is usually over
a battlefield or over a town that will be destroyed. That is how
Death Dragons got their name. They seem to be harbingers of
destruction; wherever they go death seems to follow. This makes
Death Dragons look like evil beasts that kill people and suck
their soul into a hellish imprisonment. These rumors are somewhat
true, but due to people's fear have grown out of proportion. It
is not entirely impossible to hear tales of villages leaving at
the sight or rumor of a Death Dragons nearby. If you ever managed
to talk to a Dragon about Death Dragons, they seem indifferent and
won't answer your question.
The Death Dragons are from the unknown planet Dragii. The
planet is nearing extinction due to the overpopulation of Death
Dragons. Fortunately for the Death Dragons, a Shifter happened to
come across Dragii through a Create Rift spell. The Death Dragons
killed the Shifter immediately. The Death Dragons, using the last
of their PPE, were able to keep the rift open long enough for a
few hundred to escape to Earth. The Dragons they left behind will
probably die within 50 years unless they are able to find a way to
get off the planet.

Death Seeker OCC
by Morpheus ([e-mail])

This is a special OCC that replaces the former one, not by player
choice but by the choice of the GM (If you're a player and you
really want to play one... you know how to bug the GM

* Note this OCC's main purpose is for Role Playing, and redefines the
course of a characters development dramatically.

all skills, experience, cybernetic options etc.. remain the same
however if the character does not alredy have psionics the
character gains minor psionics in the sensetive category. ISP
starts out a ME + (3d6 X 10)

A Death Seeker is a character that has had a traumatic event happen to them
during the course of the game, ie: a lover murdered, their village torn
to shreds while they were away etc.. The Death Seeker then starts to see
visions, and these visions reshape the characters life, maybe add powers, but
in any case the Death Seeker has a specific task to accomplish whether or not
they realize it, but the GM knows. Unfortuneately for this character this
task will mean certain (unavoidable?) death to the character: this is known
as the Death Bond.

The period of time between this event and the creation of the character can
be determined by the GM... it could happen at level 3 or level 13, the longer
the period of time that elapses, and the more the character develops the
visions become clearer and the steps, people, and resources the Seeker needs
to accomplish this task become defined. A Seeker may need a specific
character to help accomplish his or her final task, in which case the seeker
will first offer to help the other character to accomplish their goals. Or
the Seeker may need a specific Item that is across dimensions.... etc... these
are ways to incorporate the seeker into your campaign easily.

When a death seeker dies, the character is reincarnated. Time is not a factor
for this reincarnation, meaning that the "soul" of the character can
travel into the past or the future. It is entirely possible for the new
character to be ready to join the party soon after the Seeker dies... It also
sets a stage for so many possible twists involving the seeker in his or her
first form interacting with the reincarnated one, in fact a seeker might be
avenging the death of his or her reincarnated form! The new character will
have some memories of his or her past life as a seeker, but new OCC's/RCC's
are chosen for the reincarnation, and the character starts out at a level
between one and three. If the seeker had any special powers than those powers
might be tranfered over to the reincarnated character.

* Note the Death Seeker only gets reincarnated IF he or she can accomplish the
specific task they need to do.

The Death Seeker gains the following powers:

1. Sense upcoming death
A death seeker is attuned to death so strongly that the seeker will know
if someone in the vicinity is going to die in the next hour. The Death Seeker
however stays very calm about it, feeling death is the normal ending of life
and will in most cases do nothing to prevent the occurence from happening.
This death that the Seeker feels is by no means assured, intervention on the
part of another party often throws the seekers sense off kilter, and the
seeker does not know who is going to die unless the Seeker has physical
contact with that person.

2. Visions of tommorow
A Death Seeker is sensetive to the mystical patterns in the universe many
call fate. The Seeker's dreams are tormented, yet always give the Seeker some
cryptic information on the forthcoming events of the next day. As time goes
on the seeker learns to better interpret the dreams but the dreams become more
and more cryptic... with one exception. As the Seeker approaches the time of
the "propper" death those dreams become extremely clear. The Death Seeker may
se his or her death as it actually should happen, or they might see something
completely off, or anyehere inbetween. They just clearly see how they want to
doe, it is their subconcious effecting their visions that brings about this
amazing clarity.

3. Final Sacrifice
A Death Seeker may heal and revive a person who has been dead for less
than 3 hours and has at least 60% of their body left. The Seeker does this
by transfering his or her own life energies into the corpse, and this kills
the Death Seeker. This may or may not be the Seekers propper death, if it
isn't the Seeker is reincarnated (and may rejoin the party...), but not free
of the Death Bond.

4. Fein Death (Meditation)
Seekers can control their bodies mentally so to all people examining the
body are fooled into thinking the Seeker is dead. This is a very relaxing
state for the Seeker, and while in this state, the Seeker heals at 3 times
the normal rate, and is completely rested in 4 hours. The disadvantage of
this is the fact that the Seeker does not know what is being done with his
or her body and will not wake up until ready to do so. After 8 hours in
this meditation, the Seeker dreams heavily and comes out of meditation with
a resolution or plan of action for matters currently at hand.

5. Speak with the Dead
This power enables the Seeker to communicate with "spirits" of dead
beings, however it requires the Seeker to be at the location of the death,
and for the seeker to meditate for 5 minutes uninterupted. This is dangerous
for 2 reasons, the first one would be false information the spirit gives to
the seeker that might mislead and harm the seeker, and secondly a particulary
powerful spirit might posess the Seeker's body. The Seeker and the Spirit now
fight for control of the body... the rules for this are at the discretion of
the GM... The spirit also might play a "parasite" tagging along in the body,
letting the Seeker do the acting, but during this time the spirit feels, hears
see's, and tastes just as the Seeker does.

Diabolist OCC


The Diabolist was originally a magic class from the Palladium dimen-
sion, brought to Earth by dimensional travellers/magicians. The art of wards
and runes is a secret to most, due to the exaustive study it requires and the
mastery of magic forces it takes to use. But of late, several Diabolists have
begun to teach Earth natives the ancient art, and enough Earth-based Diabo-
lists have popped up to warrant the class usable by all (or, phrased differ-
ently, the class is an open O.C.C.).

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Diabolist Abilities

1. Can read runes. The Diabolist knows how to read and interpret runes of all
make and form. The rune language/symbology is a jealous secret, and carefully
guarded. It will NEVER be taught or shared with anybody who is not a Diab-
olist.
2. Knows all symbols, power words, and wards. This knowledge is essential for
the functioning of the Diabolist's wards. On Rifts Earth, the materials
necessary for the creation are not really required; it is the idea, power
words, and the design of the ward that are important, the physical comp-
osition only lends itself to remembering the exact workings. The Diabolist
knows not only how to create the ward/circle, but the power words for it,
and the symbols used.
3. Deciphering Circles. The Diabolist is so skilled in magic wards and crypt-
ography that he or she can attempt to deduce the function of a magic circle
when encountered. The Diabolist makes notes about the design, materials,
and other clues, and then studies it. When the Diabolist wishes to discover
if his knowledge is enough for a successful invocation, he must try it and
then roll under his percentage. If he fails, the P.P.E. vanishes (used up)
and the player is knocked unconsious for 1d4 hours. There is also a small
explosion, which causes 4d6 S.D.C./H.P. damage to the Diabolist and those
around him in a 20 ft. radius.
The Diabolist's skill in deducing the function of a circle is 20% +5% per
level of experience. His skill in deducing the invocation necessary for the
circle is 15% +5% per level of experience (I.Q. bonus is applicable to
both skills).
4. P.P.E.: 2d6 x 10 P.P.E. + P.E. and 2d6 additional P.P.E. points per level
of
experience.
5. Bonuses: +2 save vs. Horror Factor at level one, with an additional +1 at
levels four and eight. +1 to save versus magic at levels two, five, eight,
eleven, and fourteen (includes all ward and circle magic, as well)
6. Other bonuses: +10% to recognize magic items, +15% to recognize
enchantment.

advantage of the bonus listed in parentheses (). All secondary skills start
at the base skill level.

Standard Equipment: Robe or cape, two sets of clothing, one set of travelling
clothes, light M.D.C. personalized armor, knapsack, backpack, 1d6 small
sacks, 1d4 large sacks, a dozen wooden stakes and mallets, canteen, bino-
culars, sunglasses/tinted goggles, air filter and gas mask, flashlight, 200
feet of rope, pen and pencils, notepad, sketchpad, various other drawing
utensils (such as erasers, colored markers, paints), 35mm camera with 12
discs of film (48 exposures each disc), two blank books, and a portable
hand-held computer (if proficient in it's use).

Weapons include one energy rifle with 1d4 extra clips, one other energy
weapon of choice (1d4 extra clips), survival knife, automatic pistol, and
a hand axe.

The vehicle of choice of the Diabolist tends to be either a horse or motor-
cycle. Diabolists also like TW items.

Money: The Diabolist starts off with 2d6 x 100 credits in cash, and has about
1d6 x 1000 credits in saleable Black Market Items. Most of his/her money has
been spent of art supplies and paper/books.

Cybernetics: Starts with none and avoids them unless necessary for medical
reasons (though not every Diabolist is opposed to them). Bio-system replace-
ments will be considered, if necessary.

Dragon Rider RCC


Dragon Riders are a race of humanoids that have learned to mentally tame and
control Dragons for a short period of time. During the waning days of the
second magic epoch, a pair of Chinese magicians learned how to use their minds
to control Dragons for a short period of time. Persecuted for teaching their
"Black Magic," the Chinese magicians fled through a dimensional portal to a
world filled with Dragons. The magicians also found a civilization of humans
that feared the Dragons because of their might and mysterious powers. The
Chinese magicians then felt it was their duty to train these people to be on
more equal terms with the Dragons and so the people of this planet were taught
the way of the Dragon Rider. After a century of peace with humans and Dragons
living together, a horde of evil Dragons found their way to the planet of the
Dragon Riders and promptly invaded the once peaceful planet. It was during
this invasion that the Dragon Riders were formed into an army to combat evil;
also, the properties of Dragon skin were unlocked at this time and the
powerful Dragon Rider Combat Armor was created. With the coming of the Rifts,
the Dragon Riders have found their way to earth and are continuing their
constant battle against evil.

Duster O.C.C.

Dusters are mystic warriors schooled in the traditional arts of
assassination and equipped with the weapons and techniques of the future. They
also study mental discipline and the development of the mind's hidden
potential.
The Dusters originated as another step in the search for the perfect
human warrior. During the emergence of the Juicers and Crazies, certain
factions of world governments became interested in creating formidable human
warriors without the need of artificial augmentation. The forefront of this
movement was ironically located in Japan, one of the most highly advanced
technical nations. Researchers discovered a combination of training techniques
and disciplines that produced a highly capable warrior, although one that was
not as devastating as either the Juicers or Crazies.
In the Time Before Rifts, some of the Dusters secreted themselves away
and managed to survive the waves of destruction that ravaged the Earth. The
training is now passed on from Duster to trainee, just like the martial arts
of the ancient Orient. There are no known groups of organized Dusters,
although rumors of a monastery located in Japan are still heard from time to
time.
Instead of relying upon chemical treatment or cybernetic implantation,
the Dusters manifest their abilities through physical and mental training.
From youth, Dusters constantly engage in training, personally supervised by a
Master (level 9 or higher). When a Duster trainee is ready to venture forth on
his own (achieving 1st level) he leaves his Master to seek his path in the
world. A Master will usually only train one student at a time, although they
are able to train two at once. Pairs which are trained at the same time tend
to develop a complementary fighting style, and will stay together after their
training is finished. These rare Duster warriors are known as Tai Dusters, and
are almost never seperated from their partner.
Dusters live according to their own personal code of ethics (generally
determined by alignment), and are not bound to follow the particular code used
by their Masters, except by choice. Some might choose to be wandering heroes
of justice, mercenaries for hire, or anarchistic killers.
Due to their intensive mystic training, Dusters have developed minor
psionic abilities, and the ability to use techno-wizardry items. As trained
mystics, they are the only Men of Arms whose P.P.E. actually increases as
their level of inner consciousness rises.
The Coalition views the Duster caste of warriors as useful tools in
their expansionist policy. However, a Coalition Duster will never be
completely trusted and will typically be assigned to duty with a Psi-Stalker
and Dog Pack.

Duster Powers

1. Enhanced endurance. Add 2d4 x 10 S.D.C., 3d6 hit points, and 1d4 to
P.E. Can last up to five times longer than normal human exhaustion levels.

2. Increased speed. Add 2d6 to Speed attribute.

3. Enhanced reflexes. The Duster's high level of combat training
provides the following bonuses. Bonuses: +2 to roll with punch, fall, or
impact; +1 on initiative; +1d6 P.P.

4. Minor Psionics. Select any three psionic abilities from Physical or
Healer categories.

Attribute Requirements: P.P. and M.E. 12 or higher.

P.P.E.: P.E. + 3d6. Add 1d4 per level of experience.

level of experience.

Secondary Skills: The character also gets to select six secondary skills from
the previous list. These additional areas of knowledge do not get the bonuses
listed in parantheses. Also, skills are limited (any, only, none) as
previously indicated in the list.

Standard Equipment: Set of wilderness style clothing suitable for combat. One
suit of M.D.C. armor, usually a lightweight and flexible model. Two Ancient
weapons and one Modern weapon (including Energy Weapon). Backpack, two sacks,
utility belt, two canteens, four week's of rations. Vehicle choices tend
toward smaller and faster styles, ranging from horses to hover cycles to wing
boards.
Coalition Dusters have greater access to a wide variety of equipment
which may be issued according to the Duster's assignments. Standard equipment
for a Coalition Duster will include "Dead Boy" environmental armor, marked
with the PSI insignia, and some sort of vibro-weapon.
All Dusters prefer high-tech or magical versions of ancient weapons,
especially vibro-blades and flaming swords.

Money: Starts with 3d6 x 100 in credits, and 1d6 x 1000 in black market items.
Tends to spend on improving weaponry arsenal. A Coalition Duster will earn
1950 credits per month.

Cybernetics: Dusters will generally avoid cybernetic implantation except to
replace missing body parts, preferring to rely upon their training.

Special Note: Tai Dusters
Tai Dusters gain special bonuses to their offensive capabilities when
fighting as a pair (bonuses apply to both Dusters): one additional attack per
melee, automatic dodge, and +2 to strike.

Special Note: Martial Arts
A Duster or Tai Duster trained in a true monastic environment will
receive the Hand to Hand skill of Ninjitsu instead of HTH: Martial Arts or
Assassin. However, such characters also forfeit their O.C.C. Related skills
and Secondary skills when initially created, but the five W.P. skills may be
changed to any other skills allowable to the O.C.C. (gain W.P. skills from
studying Ninjitsu). Monastic Dusters also gain the specialized Martial Arts
Powers inherent to Ninjitsu.

beings like the natives of Wormwood (Note they are the exception to
the rule that mega-damage beings cannot be rune casters). M.D.C. is

runes at first level, and gain one additional rune at levels four,
eight, twelve, and fifteen, in addition to the standard runes.
Otherwise only if magic O.C.C. is taken.
Combat: Normal; varies with skills.
Vulnerabilities/Penalties: None.
O.C.C.s: Any but avoid technology. Very few, less than 100, have ever

Ley Line Walker: 15%
Temporal Wizard: 12%
Mind Melter: 10%
Mystic: 8%
Other Practitioners of magic: 3%
Other: 2%
Appearance: Appear completely human, except they often have unusual eye and
hair colors, and they have rune drawn all over their bodies.
Alliances and Allies: All forces of good are their allies, but even most of
their allies do not known that they possess the secrets of runes.
Enemies: All of the forces of evil, especially the Splugorth and other alien
intelligences (they remind them of the Old Ones).

Coalition has just recently discovered this, and has given EBRS's
the same treatment as Juicers and Crazies...DEATH ON SIGHT. There
is no real way to identify an EBRSer because the only physical
difference is the thick skin, and even that isn't very weird.

ETERNAL KNIGHT OCC

Anyone who's read the section in the RIFTS ENGLAND book on the Eternal
City knows about the Eternal Knights. For those of you who haven't read about
them, the 500 Eternal Knights are "official champions of the city." The
trouble is, the book never rounded out the Eternal Knights by telling us what
exactly they were, so they have often been assumed to be ordinary knights with
a name for their organization. However, Mrrlyn's spies recently found out
that the Eternal Knights are more. Much more.

REQUIREMENTS: PS 15, IQ 15, PE 17
ALIGNMENT: Principled, Scrupulous or Unprincipled. Most are Scrupulous.
MAGIC: Knows none at start, but may learn 1 spell per level. May not learn
spell magic above level 5 or any temporal or warlock spells. PPE 4d6, add 1d6
per level
PSIONICS:An Eternal Knight has the power to send brief telepathic messages in
the form of an image to another Eternal Knight or the King, who also has this
power (very effective distress call.) This power costs 5 ISP and has an
unlimited range (with the exception that the sender and reciever must be on
the same dimension.) ISP 3d6 (a roll below 5 is adjusted to 5), minor
psionic.
OCC SKILLS:
Land Navigation +10%
Wilderness Survival +15%
Paramedic
Speaks and reads Euro, +20% for both. Speaks 2 other languages at +20%.
Reads one of these languages at normal proficiency.
Acrobatics
Gymnastics
Escape Aritst +10%
WP Sword
WP 2 ancient, 3 modern
Horsemanship
HTH Expert. Can be upped to Martial Arts at the cost of 1 other skills
Select 4 other skills, add 1 at levels 3, 7, 11, 15, and then 1 more every
million XP.
Communication: Any
Domestic: Any
Electrical: Basic
Espionage: Any +10%
Mechanical: Auto
Medical: None
Military: None
Physical: Any
Pilot: Any except tank or spacecraft. VERY few get Robots & PA (dishonorable
except in cases of extreme emergency)
Pilot Related: Any
Rogue: Any + 20%
Science: Any, but must be chosen at Level 1. May not be added later.
Technical: Same story as Science.
WP: Any
Wilderness: Any
Choose 3 secondary skills without bonuses.
OCC BONUSES: Add 30 SDC in addition to the 1d4x10 used for men of arms.
+2 to initiative
+4 to save vs horror factor
lives 4 times as long as normal humans, 240 to 400 years. How this is
accomplished is not known (only the king of the Eternal City and perhaps the
Eternal Knights know, and no one is telling.)
ENHANCEMENTS: May be gained, but if they are gained the Eternal Knight loses
the longevity that gives the Eternal Knights their name. This can be very
depressing if the knight is more than the age at which a human knight would
retire or worse, older than a normal human lives.
GEAR: first-aid kit, camping gear, 150 ft.rope, a grappling hook, an IRMSS kit
in case of emergency, 2 weeks' worth of rations, and 3 weapons of choice. The
exact weapons can vary from Eternal Knight to Eternal Knight, but most have at
least 1 ancient weapon or a high-tech version of one (like a vibro-blade) and
an energy pistol with another "signature weapon." TW weapons are popular.
Also starts out with MDC armor of any type (sorry, no power armor.)
MONEY: The Eternal City pays the Eternal Knights well, 3000 credits per month.
Starts with 2 months' pay.

IMPORTANT: Always remember that all the Eternal Knights are employed by the
Eternal City as an elite fighting force. An Eternal Knight is a member of
this force FOR LIFE, as a rogue Eternal Knight is hunted down and killed for
fear of the secret of their longevity being revealed. However, every 4 years
the Eternal Knight gets a yeear "off" to adventure, as the Eternal City knows
that adventuring is good for the knights and can be used as training. If this
entire year is not used, the time can be saved up. There is a catch: If a war
breaks out, all 500 Eternal Knights must fight; those on vacation are called
back (see the Psionics section.)

Genetic Cleanser RCC

Another RCC by Brian
[e-mail]
[e-mail]

Genetic Cleansers are the newest development from the lone star
labs. The ultimate predators, they have powers and abilities that
make them the ultimate in genetically engineered beings. Since the
Genetic Cleansers are based on a human personality, there are
rogue Genetic Cleansers, if encountered they are executed on
sight.
Currently there are only 5100 Genetic Cleansers in existence
and they are used by the Coalition States on search and destroy
missions where D-bees, aliens, and mutants are involved. Chi-Town
has 1200 Genetic Cleansers. In Missouri, 400 Genetic Cleansers are
stationed on the border areas. Lone Star has 600 Genetic Cleansers
with 30 more produced each month. Iron Heart and Free Quebec are
each home to 1000 Genetic Cleansers. The remaining 800 Genetic
Cleansers are divided between the area infested by Xiticix (600),
where they may be encountered in groups of 4 or more, while the
others are being routed to Tolkeen (50) or scouring the North
American continent on various reconnaissance missions. There are
presently 100 known rogues.

Requirements: ME, MA, PE of 14 or higher.

MDC: 6d6x5
PPE: None.
ISP: 40 (Does not change.)
Psionics: Has the following powers at first level and never gains

RCC Powers

Metamorphosis: The Genetic Cleanser can change its appearance to
resemble any living thing, a fool proof imitation (90%).

Energy Absorption/Redirection: Can absorb any kind of energy
(kinetic, laser, etc.) up to PEx5. It then may use the energy to
increase its PSx2, MDCx2, sizex4 or reflect the energy back at the
attacker for 1/2 damage.

Intuition can tell when it is facing another Genetic Cleanser. It
cannot be tricked by illusions, or Metamorphosis.

Techno-Organic Body: Its body is both machine and meat; not like
a borg but intertwined.

Mass Redemption: The Genetic Cleanser can absorb metal into its
body to heal 5 MDC a pound or can add flesh by ingesting (sick but
true) humans or human-like D-bees to regain 50 MDC per person plus
an extra 5' with each person and/or lb. of metal.

Super Endurance: Can go 5 weeks without eating/absorbing. after
that looses 2 MDC a day without feeding, down to 2, after that it
begins shrinking 1/4 ft a day until its 2 ft, then it goes into a
fury until it kills and/or absorbs any metal or flesh that is
larger than 50 lb.

Weapon Meld: Genetic Cleansers can absorb weapons into them and
use their abilities (NO magical weapons). The weapon does 1d6 MD
no matter what kind it is. The Genetic Cleanser also provides the
power and ammunition, loosing 1' per 4 e-powered weapons.

Auto-Pilot: Since the Genetic Cleanser is techno-organic it can
automatically pilot any vehicle, alien or otherwise (90%).

Appearance: When not morphed the are a 6' fleshy/metal humanoid
shape with yellow eyes, no nose and no hair.

Flashback: If a Genetic Cleanser receives a considerable amount
of damage (only has 5 MDC or less). Its flesh half takes
over(brain) and it remembers who it was. at this point it will
stop fighting, Resume the shape of its original form and wander
off to try and find the remains of its life or do whatever it
wants, these are the rogue type.

Genetically Engineered Neoteric Humans
(G.E.N.S.)

by Steve Lombardi
([e-mail])

This RCC was originally designed for use in a campaign that took
place in a slightly altered universe than that of the Rifts RPG.
In my campaign the characters originated in the underwater colony
of Clarke, on Jupiter's moon of Io. The city was located under the
thick ice that covers the entire surface of the moon. When the
time of the Rifts occurred the colony seeing what was happening to
Earth and the colony on Mars, (see the Mutants in Orbit
Sourcebook), decided that a policy of isolation was safest
(similar to what the orbital stations were doing). As observation
of Earth continued, and the invading hordes of D-bees was let
loose on Earth the people of Clarke began what was known as the
GENS project.

The GENS project was intended to genetically engineer human beings
into a more powerful form to battle the inhuman invaders. During
the 50 years of research the colony was visited by a number of
peaceful D-bees including Atlanteans and Wolfen. It was then
decided that not all D-bees were evil and that a number of them
were friendly.

Suddenly on June 4th 2369, a lone Splugorth (see the Atlantis
world book) and a small force of Kydians arrived near the colony
and ordered Clarke to surrender. Immediately the GENS were let
loose and the attack began. After a battle lasting seven hours the
Splugorth and his minions were destroyed. The battle killed about
one-third of the population of the colony but the effectiveness of
the GENS was beyond all the colony could hope for.

After the battle a movement began in the colony to award the GENS
for their heroic actions and they were officially given
citizenship and equal rights under the Constitution (the colony
was mainly a North American effort).

When the colony was finally repaired it was decided by the
President and Congress of the colony to begin to send GENS
volunteers to Earth to begin to collect information about the
Splugorth and other evil invaders and begin the war to reclaim the
home world.

Warning!!! - This RCC is extremely powerful! I mean real
powerful! It also has some extreme penalties! Check with your GM
before taking this character.

Character information common to all GENS.

Alignment: Principled and Scrupulous

Attributes: IQ 3d6+2, ME 5d6, MA 4d6, PS 5d6, PE 4d6+4, PB 4d6,
Spd 5d6+4

MDC: 35 plus 1d10 per level.

Horror Factor: 14

Weight: 150 lb and up.

Height: Start at 5 feet 10 inches and plus 4d6 inches.

Age: They appear to be in their middle to late 20's. The natural
life span of a GENS is Unknown although it is most likely in the
hundreds of years.

Sex: Either

Appearance: Appear Human with the following exceptions; Hair
color can be anything from the normal range in humans to metallic
colors. Eyes are the same as Hair. (My character was had Chrome
Red eyes and Metallic Blue hair!)

Disposition: Usually quiet until the situation demands action.
Then will speak or act with both words and actions.

Skills: Same as Coalition Soldier (halve the Secondary Skills).

Magic: NONE!!! Absolutely no exceptions to this Rule! (see Special
Rules)

Psionic Powers: Yes
ISP: 50 plus 1d6 per level.

The GENS has the following and CANNOT receive additional powers by
any means:

Deaden Pain, Psychic Purification, Resist Fatigue, See the
Invisible

Natural Abilities
Punch 1d8 MDC
Kick 1d10 MDC

Infravasion 100 feet
Natural (not supernatural) MDC body
Extended Lifespan
Can Hold Breath Up to 25 minutes.
Cannot become a vampire

Special Rules

Magic: Because of the way that the GENS is designed the character
has basically no natural way to store PPE magic. The Player
cannot take a OCC with magic and his PPE cannot be drawn out.
There is no way around rule.

Bionics: The character can take any bionics that he/she wants.

Light: Because of the structure of the GENS eye. The character
cannot take bright light. Even normal daylight on Earth gives the
player a -5 to hit any light brighter than that gives the player a
-7 to hit. You can usually tell a GENS because he never takes off
his sunglasses.

Friends and Enemies: The GENS usually get along with almost any
RCC except for those that serve the Splugorth. Indeed the GENS
hate the Splugorth so much that they will usually go out of their
way to annoy a Splugorth. They will not attack a Splugorth unless
they believe they have a good chance of winning. (And usually a
few nuclear warheads in his pocket!!) The GENS love the Atlanteans
and usually will help them with anything. Indeed it has been know
that a few GENS have started to hunt Sunaj Assassins. The GENS
look at normal humans in a very special way. They know without
them they would not exist and so they treat humans like a kid
brother, always willing to give advice and take action on their
behalf.


Well this is the first of a number of OCCs and RCCs that I have
developed. If you like it please drop me a message at America On-
Line Callsign: StevenL184, (Internet: [e-mail]). Perhaps
soon I will post some of the new spells, psionics and mecha that I
have developed. So please drop me a line and tell me how I am
doing.

This is dedicated to the 10,000 Maniacs who's music has kept me
sane. And Michael Best AOL callsign Capt MJB, (but PLEASE fix your
spell checker!!) whose own creations inspired me.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: I made a single addition to this RCC to make it
fit better within the logic of the game. It can no longer pick an
OCC, thus becoming a true RCC, and has its skill set clearly
defined.)


=============================================================================
Genetically Enhanced Man (G.E.M.) OCC

The GEMÕs are a product of an unearthed Pre-Rifts Technology, discovered
about 10 years ago but a small kingdom in the middle of what used to be
Alaska. This technology was used to engineer geneticly perfect men and women
for use in war. Now the kingdom sells the transformation for 100000 credits
and Military service for 3 years.
The Transformation is both painfull and dangerous, only about 40% of the
recipeants suvive the process.
Major Powers-
Choose 1 of the following powers:

1. Genetic Cyborg
The Characters entire body is transformed into an organic steel. The
characters entire body , tongue, eyes, teeth, in fact, every thing except the
brain and nerves has its cellular structure altered. This steel, while
flexible for the most part, is a Mega Damage structure.
The character starts with a PS of 30 (not supernatural), and a speed of
132 (90mph). The main body has a starting MDC of 300 and regenerates at double
the normal healing rate. Starting Weapons include 1 forearm laser (left arm,
uses regular E-clips) and 1 set of Vibro blades (right forearm, retractable)
Adverse Effects cost:
Basic - 4
Extra Limbs:(Arm&hand, tentacles,etc.) - .5 ec
Effective Bionic Features - Multi optic eyes: .5 for a pair
-Lungs with all the options .5
- All others .25 each
Weapons- Each additional weapon - .5 each
Regeneration- 1d8*10 MDC per day and can regenerate a limb or weapon
within 3 days. - 1.5
Extra MDC- 1 per 100 MDC
Extra PP- .5 for every +5 with a maximum of +20,(not to exceed 45 total)
Extra Speed- .5 for a speed of 176

2. Molecular/Atomic Transformation
The Character is given the ability to change their entire bodies shape
and molecular structure totally. In addition , they can shift atoms within
their body thereby changing the entire molecular structure of about 50% of
their total body mass. This means that the character can change them self into
almost anything they wish. Basic mechanical items, Solid structures, etc can
be duplicated, but computers and the like are impossible. Unfortunately for
the character, they can be spotted by a careful scan. You see, the GEM must
keep the brain , heart and circulatory system going, otherwise they die. Also
the character retains the same total mass, so their ranges of sizes and shapes
are severely limited.
Along with indoctrination on how to use their powers, they are also
trained in how to change their entire bodies into three MDC forms, The first
of these forms is Stone. In this form the character can easily be mistaken for
an earth elemental. Punches do 3d6 MD, Kicks do 4d6 MD. Speed is halved,
weighs 2 times normal,and the character regenerates 1d4*10 MD per minute. This
form has an MDC of 200 and can be maintained for 2 hour + 1 hour per level of
experience. At the end of that time ,or when the character wants to , the
character reverts back to his normal human form and cannot use his powers for
half the time he was in it.

The second form is of MDC steel. Punches do 4d6 MD, Kicks do 5d6 MD.
Speed is halved. The form regenerates 1d4*10 MD per minute and weighs 4 times
normal. This form has an MDC of 300 but can only be maintained for 30 minutes
+ 10 minutes per EL before reverting back to human form. After using this form
, the character cannot use his powers for the same amount of time that he was
in it.
The third form is that of pure energy.This is by far the most deadly and
draining of the three. In this form , the GEMs entire body is converted into
pure energy that is held together by the force of the characters will. The MDC
of this body is only 125, but it is totally impervious to lasers, plasma, and
all other forms of energy/cold/heat. Particle beams will actually
add/regenerate this form on a point for point basis. All physical attacks only
do 1/2 damage. Punches do 6d6 MD, Kicks do 7d6 MD, Blasts of Energy do 1d6 MD
+1d6 MD per EL.Time limit in this form is 5 minutes + 1 minute per EL, and
after the character reverts, he goes into a coma for twice the amount of time
as he was in the form.
If the MDC of the characters form is depleted or taken below 0, then the
character instantly reverts to humanoid form. The shock of this instant
transformation causes 1d10 HP damage and a 1d6 hour coma.
Time to change a form is 1 action for the three, or 1 melee for any
other.Reverting back is instantaneous.
Adverse Effect Cost: 8
3 Superhuman Attributes
Similar to the Juicer but without the drugs and dependency. The entire
body is altered to press and exceed the limits of a normal human body. The G-
Man adds 1d4*10 to PS and PE, 3d6*15 to speed , 4d6 to PP 1d6*10 to HP , and
1d6*100 SDC or 1d6 * 10 MDC. The character can fall into a restorative trance
that will restore 1d6*10 HP and 1d4*10 SDC or 1d6*10 MDC per hour.
Adverse Effect Cost: 2 ,but must choose at least 2 minor powers.

Minor Powers- The player may choose up to 3 minor abilities, but only if they
want to.

Magic Use- The Character can intuitively use Techno-Wizardry, and starts
with 4 spells from first level, all at 1/2 range , duration, effect, etc. New
Spells can only be learned and they are all at 1/2 range, duration, etc. PPE
is fairly large: PE + 1d6*10 +1d6+1 per level.
A.E. Cost: 4

Master Psionic- Choose Two powers from each of the categories, Including
Super Psionics. At level five , choose 1 from each of the lists. At levels 9
and 11 choose four from any of the lists. ISP= ME+30+10 per level
A.E. Cost: 3





Super Human Attributes: One Physical Attribute per Choice is hyped
up.Each one may only be selected twice at the most.
Strength: Add 2d6 to PS and is considered Supernatural.
Prowess: Add 1d6 to PP, and +2 to intuitive.
Endurance: Add 3d6 to PE, +5% on all saving rolls and +10% vs
Coma/Death
Speed: Add 3d6*10 to speed, and +2 to strike , parry and dodge.
A.E. Cost: 1 Each

Partial Transformation- This power is somewhat like the major power of
transformation, but is limited to only 1/4 he GEMs body at one time. To be
effective, the GEM must have touched the material at least once. Duration of
the transformation is 1 hour per level of experience.
NOTE: any character with the major power of transformation cannot take
this power.
A.E Cost: 4

Bio Regeneration- The character can slip into a 15 minute trance in
which all HP and 1d4*10 SDC , or 1d6*10 MDC , are regenerated. In addition,
physical attacks only do 1/2 damage, (Energy, magic, and psionics do full
damage.). Also gives the character +3 vs poisons/toxins and +20% vs Coma/Death
A.E. Cost: 2

Increased Mental Powers- No normal people have an organ that can
regenerate brain cells, but that is not true with this GEM, This organ can
replace up to 75% of the brain cells lost each day. This gives the character a
bonus of 2d6+3 to IQ and ME. In addition, the GEM gets 4 total psionic powers
from physical, sensitive, and healing.(Sorry, no super psionics).
Unfortunately, all that energy being expended on the mind, lowers the other
attributes, -2 from PS, -1 from PP and PE, but +1 to Strike Parry and Dodge
A.E. Cost: 1

Adverse Effects-
The character must pick a number of Adverse effects equal to the total
cost of all the chosen powers.
The number is parenthesis indicates the number of A.E. it is
worth.

Excessive Body Odor- The characters glands constantly excrete a foul
smelling pheromone. -1d4 from PB and +15% to track the character by smell. (1)

Excessive Body Hair- The characters body hairs all grow thicker and
darker than normal, similar to true lyncthracopy. -1d4 PB unless shaved daily.
(1)

Excessive Body Hair and Odor- The character has a combination of the
previous two problems , the the combination of hair makes it worse, trapping
the smell, like a wet dog. +20% to track the character by smell and halves PB.
If the character shaves daily and uses large amounts of deodorant,(cologne
just makes it worse), then add 4 to PB,(But it can never exceed the original
attribute.) (3)

Weakened Intellect- This just lowers the GEMs IQ and ME by 1d4 and MA by
1d8 (Minimum of 4 in each Attribute) (2)

Severe Muscle Cramps- The characters muscles start spasming and knotting
at odd moments. 75% chance of cramping after 1 hour of sustained activity. The
cramps are very painful and distracting,(-4 to Parry and Dodge, -8 to Strike,
and -20% on all skills). The cramps will go away after 5 minutes of total
relaxation (3)

Severe Acne- The character is constantly breaking out in pimples and
white heads, making people disgusted at the character. (-2d4 from PB) The acne
is permanent and scarring, even plastic surgery will have no effect. (2)

Low Resistance to Magic and Psionics- The character perceptions are
altered, giving them problems distinguishing reality from illusion, and
opening their mind to control from outside forces. -5 to save vs
psionics/magic/ and possession, in addition to -3 from ME and -1 from IQ. 55%
chance of alcoholism or drug addiction. (4)

Permanent Powers of G-Men-
Night vision as good as Day vision, Very acute Sight (Like a hawks, can read a
sign or ID a face at two miles away.), Normal Healing rate is doubled , along
with a tough skin and dense flesh,(SDC weapons do 1/2 damage). The GEM
characters are also forever sterile, to prevent the spread of enhanced genes
or unfavorable mutations. Also, add 1d6 to all physical attributes except PB,
1d4*10 SDC and 10 Hit Points.

Skills-
The GEMÕs are well educated, but most of their time was spent learning
how to use their powers.

Genetically Enhanced Unarmed Combat Soldier (GEUCS) OCC



Being out classed by virtually every other world army in the
area of Technology, the Canadians where beginning to lose ground.
As it was they had sold over 700 square miles of land to the U.S.
to have enough money to buy Juicer and Crazy mercenaries to defend
themselves. Then a break through. A Canadian DNA specialist
discovered a way to enhance the human body to minor MDC and allow
it to harden its nails and teeth and strength to do MD damage.
Unfortunately, the Rifts came before this tech could be put to
use. Recently, however, a band of mercenaries found the DNA
blueprints for the soldier and has sold them to three cities which
can now give the transformation.

1. Free Quebec. The State of Free Quebec has created a small army
(about 100 strong) to use as a airborne force (they have 4 C-130's
converted to light MDC and fusion power) as an experiment. They
offer the transformation at the cost of 500,000 Credits. All other
Coalition states forbid MAKING G.E.U.C.S., but do not execute
them on sight like they would Crazies or Juicers.

2. Los Alamos. Los Alamos does not have an army of GEUCS's, but
does offer the Transformation at a cost of 350,000 Credits.

3. Tolkeen. Tolkeen currently has 56 GEUCS's in service and offers
the transformation for 50,000 Credits and 2 years of Service
(receive 500 Credits monthly for food budget, etc. each year).

The Gifted Ones RCC

The Gifted Ones are the offspring of Kherubim and humans from
earth. The name "gifted ones" was given by the Kherubim to describe their
awesome powers. Through magic from the rifts and the unlikely combination
of human and Kherubim, came the "gifted ones." They are born with amazing
abilities and powers. Not all children of Kherubim are "gifted ones," and
those that are, are all unique in their powers.
The Kherubim try to search out for their descendants, in order to
recruit them for the battle waged against the Daemonites. The Daemonites,
too search for any "gifted ones" in order to possess and control the mighty
powers.
The powers of the "gifted ones" range from simple mind powers to
powerful destructive forces. Each "gifted one" is different, and is always
a powerful being, in some way.

Life Span: 100+ years.
Appearance: Appear as a normal human, unless powers determine otherwise.
20% have mutant defects or appearance. Roll on mutant table in Heroes

GRENDEL OCC

This is an OCC I cooked up after reading *Grendel:Warchild* and is thus
based on a character created by Matt Wagner. Grendel, Orion Assante,
and so on are copyright Matt Wagner, and are not mine. Hope he doesn't
mind.

The Grendels are a warrior order that evolved on a parallel Earth. They
are totally devoted to their emporer, Orion Assante, and his descendants
and are capable of doing almost any service the Assantes request of them
The Grendels are the elite of the empire, and though the Assante rule
extends across the globe, there are only a few million Grendels. They
are known to be utterly ruthless and commonly brutal, capable of feats
of savagery and cruelty that would make a normal human shudder in
disgust. For this reason, the Grendels, in their slick black garb, are
almost universally feared throughout the empire. Now, a few random rifts
have brouht the Grendels to RiftEarth, and they are making their
presence known there, achieving some mixed popularity as implacable
vampire hunters and cruel tyrants.
Violence and carnage seem drawn to these mysterious creatures,
leading some theorists to claim that the spirit of the first Grendel
is somehow watching over/influencing the lives of its namesakes,
finding in them a way to affect matters on the mortal plane once more.
Such a belief is circumspect, but who can tell in the world of Rifts?

A number of them elect for partial conversion, and at least one full

GRENDEL WEAPONS AND ARMOR:
Note: In my campaign, Vampires are NOT harmed by running water. Why?
It seems incredibly cheap to me that such powerful villians can be
destroyed by a squirt gun. However, like Ricean Vampires, fire is
quite deadly -- so deadly, in fact that Vampires heal fire damage
at a normal human rate. The only reason I mention this is because
the Grendel weapons fire plasma/superheated flame, and are thus
designed as Vampire killing machines. Ignore it as you will.

Grendel Raypier (energy blade) -- a click of a button creates a
three foot long blade of plasma.
Mega-Damage: 1D4x10 MD
Cost: 30,000 cr

The Glaive: Based on the famous weapon used by Hunter Rose long ago
A six foot length of steel tipped by a foot long blade ensorcelled
to inflict mega-damage.
Mega-Damage: 6D6 MD
Cost: 100,000 cr

Blaster(pistol)
Weight: 2 lbs
Damage: 4D6 MD (plasma)
Range: 1000 ft
Payload: 20 shots
Cost: 8,000 cr, clips cost 500 cr

Grendel Light Armor: Light, slick looking suit, form fitting with the
trademark Grendel mask.
MDC: 80
Weight: 20 lbs
Good Mobility: -5% prowl penalty

Fits: Designed for humanoids 6 to 9 feet tall

Gur-Na-Ton RCC


Imagine a 8 foot tall humanoid. Now put beetle like armor on
him. Next, add incredible strength. This is a Gur-Na-Ton. The Gur-
Na-Ton's home world was destroyed by the Splugorth, and since them
the Gur-Na-ton's have wondered the megaverse, exploring and
extracting revenge whenever they can.
Gur-Na-ton have no sex and use asexual reproduction. They
create a cocoon, and 1d4 weeks later, the cocoon opens, the
character goes about his business, and there is an egg left that
will hatch in 2d4 years. When the egg hatches, the Gur-Na-Ton is
already full grown and at level 1. This process can only be done
if the character is 400 years old or older, and can only be
attempted once every 20 years. Use the Dragon experience table.

Alignment: Any, but most are scrupulous (87%), and few are Evil
(less then 2%).

Psionic: ALL Gur-Na-ton's Have 2d6 ISP. They may chose one
psionic from any category but Super at level 2 and level 5. Save

with Undead Slayers) and are friends with Gigantes and Cernon (how
this happened is not known).

=============================================================================


Halflings

Halflings are a race of short humanoids common to many worlds of magic (though
not the Palladium world). They are sometimes confused for faerie folk or
dwarves, but they are not related to either race. In fact, they appear to be
closely related to humans. The main differences are in the little people's
height (averaging about three feet tall), but several strains of halflings
also have pointed ears, larger and hairier feet, and little or no facial hair.
In many of the worlds they inhabit, halflings keep to themselves, rarely
meddling in the affairs of the taller and more power-hungry races. These
little people are content to live simple lives as farmers and peasants, often
surviving and prospering while other races wear themselves out with struggles
for power and glory. These halflings are generally friendly, hospitable,
comfort-loving people with great respect for laws and morals. In some
dimensions, they are held in contempt by the other, stronger races. In fact,
on some of these worlds, halflings are considered little more than petty
vagabonds and thieves. The rulers of other worlds use halflings mostly as
slaves. These halflings tend to be roguish, furtive scavengers. Regardless of
their status on their homeworlds, most of them do not consciously seek
adventure or power, accepting their lot in life.
Other races, especially humans and the gruff dwarves, think of halflings as
soft, puny, and unimportant, but they are often tougher and more determined
than they appear. They often learn how to circumvent their small size, or even
turn it into an asset. Even the smallest and most comfort-loving halfling can
turn into a resilient, clever, and capable adventurer -- if they have to.

Alignment: any, but usually good or unprincipled: even a halfling thief tends
to be selfish rather than evil. Attributes: IQ 3D6
ME 3D6
MA 2D6
PS 2D6+3
PP 4D6
PE 4D6
PB 3D6
Spd 3D6
PPE: 3D6
HP: Standard.
SDC: 10 plus those from OCC's and skills. Psionics: Standard.
Combat: Standard.
Life Span: Varies, usually around 110 years Penalties: Due to their size, may
not use large weapons: they are restricted to small and medium sized ancient
weapons, such as short swords and short bows. Modern weapons are also
generally restricted to pistols and medium to light rifles. Their size also
causes many other races to act condescending towards Halflings, or ignore them
altogether. This can be an advantage or a disadvantage, depending on how the
character uses it. Magic: no natural abilities, and rarely study it. Natural
Abilities: - high physical prowess and physical endurance: many races are
surprised at how resilient a halfling can be.
- keen eyesight and hearing
- +2 to dodge attacks from large creatures (Wolfen size or larger: includes
humans in most power armour)
- +1 to strike with slings, bows, and thrown weapons, due to years of
tradition with such weapons.
- +1 to initiative
- can "freeze" : by remaining totally motionless, the Halfling may hide at
+20% to his or her prowl skill
- +20% on prowl and cook, +10% to rogue skills other than computer hacking,
+10% to escape artist
Skills of note: speak native language at 95% (60% are also literate), speak
one other language (usually an elven or human tongue) at 75%, WP
Archery/Targeting, Prowl +20% and Cook +20%. Enemies: usually Goblins, Orcs,
and the like. They tend to distrust Giants and other big folk.
Allies: generally, Gnomes, Dwarves, Elves, and Humans are preferred. On RIFTS
Earth, they will tend to be allied with most downtrodden and non-violent races
of generally good alignments. Height: 2'6" + 3D6 inches
Weight: 80 to 120 pounds: tend to be stocky or overweight (Halflings like to
eat seven meals per day, when they can, but can survive on a loaf of bread and
a bottle of water for days when they have to.)
OCC's: Palladium-type fantasy worlds: Any but magic users (not including mind
mages and clergy) or longbowman (too short).
RIFTS: any but most men of magic (may still become clergy or druids) & power
armour pilots (too small for the suit, but they may pilot giant robots).
Halfling adventurers are relatively uncommon: they usually get swept up by
adventure, rather than seek it. They also tend towards scholarly classes
rather than men-at-arms, but halfling warriors can be surprisingly effective
(especially since their opponents don't expect them to be.) The most
attractive OCC's would be ranger/wilderness scout, thief/city rat,
soldier/headhunter, healer/body fixer, scholar/rogue scholar, and
vagabond/peasant farmer. The truly noble and adventurous ones (generally seen
as unbalanced by other halflings) will gravitate towards cyber-knight or
paladin (riding ponies rather than horses, of course). These tend to see
themselves as protectors of their people and of innocents everywhere.
The natural resistance halflings have to travel makes them rare on the RIFTS
Earth. However, a few thousand, coming from various worlds, are present,
mostly in the British Isles and western Canada.

This character race for Rifts or other Palladium RPG's was created by Dan
MacQueen ([e-mail]).

Hexon OCC

The Hexon believe themselves to be the grim servants of their god. Most are
devout Christians/Catholics, who chose their hard and thankles duty. They do
the dirty work which no other man would do. They see themselves as sinners;
they serve the rest of mankind in their search for redemption. They usually
work in secret, taking no credit for their deeds. In many cases they are more
devout than any priest or Inquisitor.

ALIGHNMENT: Any, but despite their grim nature most are good.

SECONDARY SKILLS: Select 3 at levels 2, 4, 7, 10, 13

STANDARD EQUIPMENT:
Several sets of cheap clothing, a hat or head band (to cover their marks of
their forehead. A mallet and several stakes, a silver dagger, a cross, his
own library of occult books, including his own Liber Morta (descirbed below.)

WEAPONS:
Prefer ancient style weapons. Many are profficient with a dagger or quarter
staff. They will use modern weapons as well without hesitaiton.

MAGIC:
The Hexon begins as an extremely powerful magic user. At first level select a
total 6 spells from levels 1-4. The Hexon also has his own copy of Liber
Morta, the Book of the Dead. It is believed that this evolved from the
Egyptians, who used magic to protect their tombs. They started out as tomb
carvings, then the spells were written on the bandages of mummies. As more
spells were invented the Book of the Dead was made. One theory is that some
ambitious Roman oracle took a copy and translated the most powerful spells.
It is said that each book is written on the hide and in the blood of a human.
This is not true, but most editions are written on the cull of a living
creature, adding to the Hexon's bad reputation. In the Liber Morta are the
following spells:
Domination
Superhuman Strength
Superhuman Speed
Agony
Metaporphisis: Animal
2 High level spells (player should consult GM; these spells represent
what the Hexon who trained the PC gave him.)
The spells in this book are not like magic scrolls, where they disappear after
one use. These are more like notes on how to cast a certain spell. But,
without the book the Hexon will have major trouble remembering how to cast it,
as these are such high level spells. In my campaigns if the Hexon doesn't use
the book, he has a (Exp level) x 10% chance of working the spell. However,
when the Hexon reaches the same level as the spell, he is automatically able
to cast it without referring to the book. However, many are attached to their
copy of the Liber Morta, and would keep it even if they know the spells. The
Hexon, when he reaches the next exp level, learns one spell intuitively of the
same level.

PSIONICS:
In addition to their magical powers they get 2 psionic abilities for each
category.

ALLIANCES AND ALLIES:
Not many. They consider all Catholics (and sometimes all Christians in
general) to be under their protection, like the Inquisitor-Redemers,
ironically. Should they visit Wormwood they will sympathise with the
Cathedral and the people. However, when they find how corrupt the
organisation is they will be disgusted; They will work with the monsters
working for the Cathedral. The Hexon will associate particularly well with
the Apok. In Nightspawn they will treat the Guardians, Nightspawn and any
scholars as allies. Many have befriended good supernatural monsters and even
other gods!

ENEMIES:
Many. Most people will fear the Hexon due to their great power and their dark
markings. Their greatest enemy is the Inquisitor-Redemers who see them as
heretics. The will fight all enemies of mankind.

DESCRIPTION:
The Hexon usually starts out in the slums of their place of origin. As a
child their talents manifest; some might use their psychic senses to become
thiefs or con men. A passing Hexon will probably take notice, and offer to
teach the child. As many accept as refuse this offer. The Hexon will respect
the wishes of the child, as they do not believe in choosing the path for them.
The Hexon starts firstly by training the child to be independent, like how to
hunt for food and live in the wild. Then he'll teach him the lores of demons
and Undead. They are trained in a special fighting form using mostly a
quarter staff or dagger. When the elder Hexon decides the child is ready he
will teach him magic, and teach him how to prepare his own Liber Marta, his
copy of the Book of the Dead. There is no trial, as the Hexon believes that
whoever accepts their fate is worthy of it. Eventually a strong scar is
magically formed on the young trainee's forehead. Usually the elder Hexon
will leave without a word, during the night when the trainee is sleeping. The
newly trained Hexon is then forced to make his own way.

Highlander Immortal RCC
by
Barrett William Nuzum
[e-mail]

Immortals are humans with special physiologies, given immortality
and other special powers, based on Highlander. Please view it
before attempting to use this RCC. It will give you tons of
campaign ideas.

Be sure to watch the film before attempting to use this RCC. Also,
check out the great soundtrack by Queen. However, under no
circumstances should you view it's 1992 sequel. It sucks. And none
of these ideas come from the sequel, so don't watch it. The TV
series isn't too bad, and can give you ideas for NPC Immortal
Villians. Enjoy, and Don't lose your head.

Alignment: Any, but usually Scrupulous or Selfish.
Attributes: IQ 3d6, ME 3d6+6, MA 3d6, PS 3d6, PP 4d6+6, PE 3d6,
PB 3d6, Spd 4d6.
PPE: 6d6
Hitpoints/SDC: None, see MDC.
MDC: 10d6 MDC + d6/lvl. See also Power #2.
Horror Factor: 14 (at the fall of a head)

Age: Most are between 25 and 35 years old when immortality sets
in, although certain elders have been known to exist. Life span
indefinite.
Sex, Appearance, Disposition and Psionics: Same as human.

Combat Skills: 2 attacks + Those gained from physical skills and
Hand To Hand (typically Expert or Martial Arts).
Magic: No spell casting. See Powers 7, 8, and 9.

Immortal RCC Powers:

1. Does not age once immortal gene sequence becomes active. Does
not need to eat, sleep, breathe, etc. Immortals are powered by The
Quickening, a force related to Ley Line Engergy.

2. Natural MDC and MDC Regeneration. While an immortal has MDC, he
can only die by having his head severed. For this to happen, and
immortal must reach 0 MDC. At this point, the immortal is
vulnerable to having his head taken, but if the attacker does not
make a "Lore - Demon" check, they won't know to chop the head off
and once the immortal regenerates 20% of their MDC, they become
conscious again, and ready to fight. Immortals regenerate 1d10 MDC
every minute. (4 melees) Arms and Legs regenerate inabout one
year.

3. Immortality. Immortal (does not age) until dead or wins "The
Prize."

4. Cannot be physically transformed by any means. See Rifts
Atlantis, page 16.

5. Inflicts Mega-Damage with SDC swords. The sword becomes
indestructible when wielded, and can be used to parry energy
attacks (-6 to parry). For justification, see Pogtal Giant, Rifts
Vampire Kingdoms.

6. Recognize and Sense Other Immortals. Range: 300 feet.

7. Ley Line Regeneration. Complete restoration of MDC/PPE/ISP. Can
be used once a day on a line or at a nexus.

The Quickening is the force which powers all immortals and binds
them together. It is related to ley line energy, which accounts
for powers 6, 7, 8. Also, when an immortals head is taken, the
Quickening manifests itself as a ley line storm, and the victor
regains all MDC/PPE and ISP. See Atlantis, p. 12. The Gathering
is a time when all immortals are drawn to a " far away land " to
fight for "The Prize." There can be only one victor.

The Prize (granted to The One):
No Longer Immortal: Ages normally from physical age. Granted
the following psionic abilities with NO COST which can be
activated AT WILL: Telepathy Range: Planetary, See Aura Range:
300', See The Invisible Range: 300', Empathy Range: Planetary,
Object Read Range: Touch, Empathic Transmission Range: Planetary.

HSIAN (shee-AN) RCC

Somewhat related to Hsiao's, "Hsian" is a Hsiao word meaning "the winged
humans." In fact, the Hsian are a Coalition experiment gone seriously wrong.
Their original experiment, which crossed the DNA from humans, hsiao's, and one
of three species of birds (there were plans to use more breeds, but they
limited themselves to 3 until the experiment was proven to work,) worked
great, but the 100 Hsian that were created rebelled and broke loose. Needless
to say, the Coalition no longer creates Hsian, and neither group likes the
other very much. NOTE: There is a rumor that someone slipped a fourth species
of bird into one of the experiments; the Coalition flatly denies this

HSIAN
REQUIREMENTS: IQ 14
OCC/RCC: May not take a psychic RCC like the Mind Melter or Burster, but
otherwise may take any OCC or RCC they wish.
ALIGNMENT: Most are unprincipled, but any alignment is allowed
ATTRIBUTES: IQ 4d6, MA 2d6, ME 3d6, Spd 3d6 walking. As for physical
attributes (including flying speed,) remember how I said there were 3 kinds of
birds used in the experiment? Roll 1d100 to see what kind was used in the PC:

1-50: DOVEWING: PS 3d6, PP 3d6, PB 4d6, PE 3d6, Spd 5d6 flying. Has the
following psionics: Healing Touch and 3 of choice from the Healing category.
ISP 60, major psionic. Does not recieve psionics from OCC except for a Cyber-
OCC's Psi-whatever the OCC has (Sword, Axe, Bow, or Shuriken.) Cannot fly in
rain, snow, or similar rough conditions. Also may not fly if more than half
SDC is depleted.
51-90: EAGLEWING: PS 4d6, PP 3d6, PB 3d6-3, PE 3d6, Spd 4d6 flying. Has the
following psionics: Summon Inner Strength and 1 of choice from Physical
category. ISP 35, minor psionic. Recieves OCC psionics same as Dovewing.
May fly in rain or light snow, but no seriously rough conditions.
91-99: HAWKWING: PS 3d6, PP 3d6, PB 3d6, PE 4d6, Spd 6d6 flying. Has the
following psionics: See Aura and 2 of choice from Sensitive category. ISP 40,
minor psionic. May fly in any conditions.
00: Player's choice. If the GM decides to place a fourth kind of bird in the
experiment, it may be chosen but cannot be rolled normally.
PSIONICS: See above
MAGIC: It all depends on the OCC
SKILLS: As for OCC with the following additions:
Speaks and reads Hsian and Hsiao (the two languages are incredibly similar) at
96%. Will only speak 1 other language, even if the OCC allows more. Note
that the Hsian language is not spoken per se, it is actually sung (the tones
are used much like voice inflection; different notes imply mood, sarcasm, and
stress. There are even "accents" among the 3 different kinds of Hsian! Note
however that words (perhaps lyrics are a better word) are still used.) Thus,
also gains the ability to sing at professional quality (a literal case of
"before they could speak they could sing.")
Gains Aerial Navigation (which works exactly like Land Navigation, only it
works in the air and not on the ground.)
MONEY: Hsian often start quite poor (assuming they are still in North America,
where they are hunted by the Coalition and have been forced to construct
elaborate villages of tree houses. These villages are truly awe-inspiring
because of the intricacy of the various bridges and the ingenious methods of
camouflage.) If the Hsian lives in North America, they start out with only
half the money that their OCC is allowed. If they live anywhere else,
however, they are often treated well on account of the fact that they can fly,
and a few have even become "superheroes." These Hsian start out with the full
amount of money their OCC begins with.
CYBERNETICS: May get Cyber-Armor, but NOTHING ELSE. A normal cybernetic or
bionic will be useless; bio-systems or bio-wizardry will kill the unfortunate
Hsian. Tattoos, however, are allowed (owing to the fact that their DNA does
have some Hsiao and human DNA.)
APPEARANCE: A winged human of either gender. These wings make them easy to
telll apart from humans, and thus they have a slight problem when it comes to
trying to get into a Coalition city. There are 2 ways around this: a Hsian's
wings are extremely flexible. They can either be simply folded and concealed
under a shirt, though there will be somewhat of a bulge where the wings are (a
Hsian doing this will often walk as though it has a very bad back; it enhances
the appearence. Another way to conceal this bulge is to lift weights or
otherwise work out enough that the bulge can look like more muscle if it is
corectly shaped) or once the wings have been folded, a harness can be made out
of almost anything and used to fold and keep the wings even flatter, flat
enough that they are concealed beneath a shirt and the Hsian will look like a
human and does not need to walk as if he or she has back trouble. One
disadvantage to this way though: the harness will be somewhat uncomfortable, a
problem if the Hsian cannot readjust the harness every 10 minutes. Also, when
the wings are released from the harness, they will be rather wrinkled, no
flight allowed for 5 hours while the wings smooth themselves out.
FRIENDS: Just about anything except the Coalition, vampires, of the Splugorth.
ENEMIES: the Coalition, vampires, and the Splugorth.
SPECIAL NOTE: The Hsian CAN become vampires, owing to the human DNA that was
crossed in with the Hsiao and bird DNA. In this unfortunate situation, they
are easily told apart from their living cousins; a vampire Hsian's wings will
turn a flat black color, a color that no living Hsian's wings are (the closest
they can come is a glossy black; there is no shine in a vampire Hsian's
wings.)

HSIAO RCC (pronounced sh-HOW)

Based in the D&D creatures, these giant owls can be REALLY annoying at
times, but can be entertaining to play.

HSIAO RCC
ALIGNMENT: Any, but few are anarchist or evil. However, all have a
personality quirk: Hsiao's know a LOT, and jump at any chance to share it,
often going into long, boring speeches.
ATTRIBUTES: IQ 4d6, MA 3d6, ME 3d6, PS 5d6, PE 5d6, PP 2d6, PB 4d6 (once
again, these guys are usually cute,) Spd 2d6 walking (or should I say
waddling) 6d6 flying. Strength is supernatural in terms of carrying capacity,
but not for damage in combat (see below.)
MDC: 5d6. Add 2d6 per level
MAGIC: Equal to a Mystic in all aspects. PPE 6d6+IQ+ME.
PSIONICS: Healing Touch, Bio-Regeneration, See Sura, and Sense Evil.
ISP 4d6, add 1d8 per level.
POWERS:
FLIGHT- I think this is self-explanatory. Can carry substantial amounts of
gear, some even give people rides occasionally
See The Invisible and Eyes of the Wolf constantly in effect.
Ley Line Phasing the same as a Line Walker
Impervious to all forms of poison, toxins, or harmful drugs.
Nightvision equal to normal vision
LIMITATIONS:
First, these guys are birds. There are some things a human can do that a bird
can't.
Second, they're not only birds, they're owls. Therefore, they are rarely
awake during the day (though a Hsiao can train itself to sleep at night and
wake up in the morning; most adventuring Hsiao's do this).
Third, their feathers do have some limitations. Every time a Hsiao is struck
with a cutting weapon or one that utilizes heat, there is a 1 out of 20 chance
that a feather is damaged. Only 5 feathers may be damaged or given away in
any one month (30 days) or the creature will only be able to fly at half speed
for a month while new feathers grow (roll once for every 5 MD inflicted.) If
more than 15 feathers are damaged, the Hsiao will lose all flight capabilities
for a month. Also, diving into water will make a Hsiao unable to fly for
three days while the feathers dry. After this time, it must preen itself
(proficiency of 95%) or it will still not be able to fly until it is properly
preened (may try once per day, any other attempts automatically fail.)
SKILLS:
Languages: Hsiao's have their own language, speaks this and 3 others of choice
at 96%.
WP: Energy Heavy
WP: Any, but you'll have to use common sense; a 10-foot owl simply cannot use
some types of weapons (pistols, for example, are too small, and must have the
WP to use a rifle WITHOUT bonuses.)
First Aid (-20% owing to the fact that once again, these guys are BIRDS here.)
Cook (however, remember this is an owl. Some foods may be, well...
unappetizing to humanoids.)
Hunt (good hunters, +20%)
HTH Basic (cannot be upped, once again, this is a giant BIRD.)
OTHER SKILLS:
Select 10 other skills. Use common sense here; an owl simply cannot do some
things (like gymnastics, computer hacking MD in Cyberneitcs, etc.)
COMBAT:
Claw 6d6 SDC
Diving Claw 3d6 MD (3 actions, but can pick up victim on a natural 20)
Bite 1d4 MD
Diving Bite 3d4 MD (3 actions, may not pick up victim)
Peck 3d6 SDC
Diving Peck 3d6 MD (2 actions)
Wing Swipe 1d2 MD (can only be done on the ground)
CYBERNETICS:
May be used, but must be modified for Hsiao's (which means triple normal
cost.) Also, don't get too silly, NO extra wings or claws. Tattoos are
allowed, but area that the tattoo is to be applied to MUST be plucked first
(1d4 MD fro

Immortal RCC
(Based on Highlander)

Some humans (and only normal humans, no mutant or Master Psionic has
ever become an Immortal) are born with a special power, that of the
Quickening. They cannot die, unless an opponent takes off their head.
Until they are killed for the first time they live as normal humans,
usually not realizing that they are special, although occasionally another
Immortal can sense their difference in the same way that one Immortal can
sense another. Once they are killed for the first time they become aware of
the Quickening, the ability that all Immortals have in common. Usually
another Immortal will take the new one under their wing and show them the
ropes, some however have had to learn on their own.
The Immortals seem to be a response by the human race to defend
against the supernatural predators that now abound on earth, but there are
some who have been alive since before the coming of the Rifts. In these times
there seems to be a higher percentage of Immortals, perhaps in response to the
higher PPE levels.
Each Immortal has his or her own agenda, but all abide by two rules;
never fight on Holy Ground and never team up. Holy Ground draws the
Quickening away from even the victor in a fight, while if two immortals team
up to fight a third the second survivor will lose power to the Immortal who
took off the other's head.

RCC POWERS
1) Sense Quickening: The ability all immortals have to sense one another,
supernatural creatures and Holy Ground. Range is 50'/quickening point.
Immortals who are currently "dead" thru loss of MDC, toxins of some kind, or
lack of oxygen do not register to other immortals, as soon as they recover
they once again register to other immortals.

2) All Immortals are MDC creatures in a PPE rich environment, after they die
for the first time, take their current HP and SDC and add them together, this
becomes the new Immortal's starting MDC. Add 2d6 (HP in a SDC world) each
level gained after this point. In an SDC world, their SDC and Hitpoints
remain the same. No MDC endowed human has ever become an Immortal, nor will
an immortal's body accept anything that would artificially increase his MDC
(Bio-Wizardry, Symbiots, etc.)

3) Against other Immortals and supernatural creatures, all immortals inflict
MDC with all hand held weapons, and their strength is considered to be
supernatural. Against any other opponent, all weapons do their normal damage,
and strength is considered normal. Ranged weapons always function normally.

4) Add the following to the new Immortal's stats: IQ +4, ME 1d6+6, MA +4, PS
1d6+4, PP 1d6+4, PE +6, Spd 1d6+6.

5) Bio-Regenerate. As long as the head and neck are not completely severed,
Immortals can regenerate any damage they take, at the rate of 2d6X10 MDC per
minute. This regeneration will reattach limbs that are severed in some manner
if the severed limb is placed against stump. Lost limbs will eventually
regenerate, exact time is up to the GM.

6) Poisons, Toxins and diseases can temporarily incapacitate an immortal, but
they are extremely resistant to them (+4 save.) They will ALWAYS recover from
any effects, as long as their head is still on their shoulders.

7) Without oxygen (such as in a vacuum, in a sealed airtight room, etc.)
Immortals go into a form of suspended animation. Once exposed to Oxygen they
will recover within minutes.

8) Breath under water normally and are not adversely affected by depth
underwater.

9) Immortals do not register as supernatural creatures except to other
Immortals. The one exception is the Cosmic Forge (see Phase World,) which
considers them to be supernatural i.e. no Immortal has EVER been selected to
become a Cosmo Knight

10) All Immortals have a Quickening score (which starts at one for new
Immortals.) To increase your Quickening requires a number of quickening
points equal to your current Quickening score. If you gain more Quickening
points than you need to Increase you're score, all excess Quickening points
are lost. You gain Quickening points by killing other Immortals (see #11
below) or by killing supernatural creatures. Each supernatural creature
killed usually grants 1/10th of a quickening point per HTH level.
Quickening has three effects on combat. One, it adds a bonus to your
Initiative based on 1/3 of your score, rounded up. Two, it adds a bonus to
strike and parry equal to your Quickening score, and three it adds a bonus to
your number of attacks based on 1/2 of your Quickening score rounded up. The
first two bonuses ONLY apply to Hand-to-Hand combat. The third applies to all
combat situations.
Quickening also affects the Immortal's saving throws, add 1/3 of the
Quickening score(rounded up) to ALL saves: Magic, Psionic, Horror Factor etc.

11) When one Immortal takes another's head, the following effects occur:
a) The winner gains 1/2 the difference between their MDC and the
Loser's MDC, as long as theirs was lower to start with.
b) The winner also gains 10% on one skill the loser had at a higher
percentage, OR gains one skill the loser had that he didn't (at basic
levels) OR gain one OCC ability the other had (GM option).
c) The winner also gains his opponent's Quickening rating in
quickening points.

In addition there is a pyrotechnic display with a radius based on the
Quickening of the loser of the battle (50'r/ point of Quickening) any being
other than the immortal caught in this radius suffers damage based on how
close to the center and the quickening rating of the loser(base damage is
3d6/point of Quickening the loser had) At the end of this display the
survivor is exausted (-10 to S,P,D) for 1 melee per Quickening point gained.

12) No Immortal can have Cyberware; it is rejected by the Immortal's body. If
they had any before becoming an immortal, it is ejected from their body upon
becoming Immortal. This includes all Juicer gear and MoM conversion gear.

13) Magic tattoos cost twice as much PPE to activate, gaining a new tattoo
disables the Immortal for twice as long as a normal human. No Immortal can
have more than six tattoos. If a seventh is added, one of the previous six
(determined randomly) becomes inert, and will never function again. Magic in
general is harder for an Immortal to use, all spells cost twice as much PPE to
cast, and have 1/2 the normal effects. They CAN however use Techno-Wizard
devices normally.

14) Never fight another Immortal on Holy Ground. This is the one rule ALL
immortals follow, because of the effects should they break it. The loser of
the fight is, of course, dead. The winner of the fight loses one Quickening
point, 10% of their max MDC, and 10% off any one skill the GM chooses. Note
that this WILL kill an Immortal with a Quickening score of one. Holy Ground
is defined as all nexus points, any temple sacred to any deity or belief
system, graveyards, burial sites, or any other place the GM deems appropriate.
A similar effect occurs if three Immortals are involved in a fight. The loser
is dead, the victor (The Immortal who took off the loser's head) gains
Quickening points for the loser AND one quickening point from the third
Immortal involved. The third Immortal loses one from his quickening score;
once again this WILL kill an Immortal with a Quickening score of one.

15) Immortals can summon their favorite melee weapon, but only before combat
starts. This weapon must have been bonded by killing one immortal or ten
supernatural creatures and cannot currently be in the hands of another
sentiant creature. Additionally, in most cases it must be within 10' per
point of Quickening.

16) Dying the first time breaks any links with supernatural creatures. No
Immortal has ever established a supernatural link with an Alien Intelligence
or Godlike being; thus most Immortals tend to be skeptical of the true power
of the gods.

17) The Lord of the Deep (see Rifts Underseas) never contacts and attempts to
convert Immortals. He made that mistake once.

IMPALER RCC
A special RCC by DaBeechMan
Original idea by BadgerBorg

The Impalers are a fierce race of dinosaur-like creatures believed to
have evolved from the familiar dinosaurs of prehistoric Earth. When the ley
lines started to fade, they migrated from Earth to an unknown dimension. That
dimension was destroyed by several careless Fire Dragons, but a few, maybe
100, survived and escaped to their ancestral home, Rifts Earth.

IMPALER RCC

ALIGNMENT:Any, but usually anarchist. They mistrust Rifts Earth and all who
live there, but itÕs not like they have any choice but to stay there, so they
put up with it all with the notable exception of Fire Dragons. Ooooooh, do
they hate Fire Dragons!

REQUIREMENTS:PS 16, PE 16

ATTRIBUTES:IQ 3d6, MA 2d6, ME 2d6, PS 5d6 supernatural, PP 4d6 - 3 (because of
the creatureÕs large size) PB 2d6 (hey, if you saw a gigantis T-0Rex outside
your door, I doubt youÕd find it too pretty.) Spd 4d6 but carries enough
momentum that if it runs for more than 3 melees nonstop it can go up to 5d6.
Both scores are rolled during character generation but can be changed by the
usual means.

HORROR:OK, this is an interesting case. The character saves vs HF 14. If it
passes,
nothing happens. If it fails, save again. If this save also fails, all horror
factor effects kick in. Otherwise, treat it as Awe Factor, but the character
can return to fight in as soon as 2 melees.

APPEARANCE:This guy looks like a tyrannosaur with a few exceptions. These are:
1) a collapsible ball of spikes on the end of its tail (1d6 x 100 SDC or 1d6
MD per attack, but counts as 3 attacks.
2) bull horns on its head (1d4 MD normal, 4d6 MD running but character loses
all
remaining attacks.)
3) a horn on its snout (same damage as bull horns, but add 2 MD to all damage.
4) a more horizontal posture

OTHER POWERS:
-Warlock Spells same as a witch
-Strength is supernatural
-Sonic attack roar (6d6 MD plus deafness with no save, range 500 yards. Counts
as all attacks)
-Can alter its height from the size of a cat to the size of a dragon (normally
about human-sized.) Cannot use any other special abilities while resized.
Damage done by Impaler is halved when sixe decreases, multiplied by 1.5 at max
height. Cannot do damage at minimum size.500 MDC

LIMITATIONS:
-Immeditaely goes into a frenzy (like that of a Crazy) whenever it sees a Fire
Dragon.
-Automatically has the Insanity of Paranoia
-Cold-Blooded (I donÕt care about the new theories on dinosaurs, this thing is
cold-
blooded!) This means that it dies within 40 melees if placed into an
environment greater than 110 degrees or less than 40 degrees. If either linit
is exceeeded by more then 20 degrees, dies within 20 melees. 30 degrees, 10
melees. Get the picture? NOTE that because of this, Fire Dragon and Ice
Dragon breath do triple damage!
-Cannot get psionics (EXCEPTION:All Impalers can communicate telepathically
with other Impalers within 50 miles. Note that an Impaler rarely if ever gets
to put this power to use.)
-Daylight is painful (-2 to attack in daylight, -5 in anything brighter, -10
in Globe of
Daylight spell or anything like it.)

ENHANCEMENTS:On a dinosaur (or any cold-blooded eptile)? Yeah, right!

FRIENDS:None, except will cooperate with anything that is the enemy of a Fire
Dragon.

ENEMIES:Come on, do I have to tell you? FIRE DRAGONS!

GEAR:Most tyrannosarus do not startwith or care about gear. Besides, they
canÕt use any of it except for food (canÕt hold weapons, IRMSS and the like
donÕt work on cold-blooded creatures, too heavy for vehicles, too big for
armor, but why would a tyrannosaur care?)

MONEY:None and could care less about (they donÕt really understand the
principle of it either. They do love Òsparkly thingsÓ though, meaning anything
shiny. Who cares if they donÕt do anything with it?)

SKILLS:Very few. Remember that these guys are dinosaurs. The only RCC Skill is
Hunting (+20%) and only gets 4 other skills. GMs, feel free to disallow any
skill that a
dinosaur, even an intelligent one, might not be able to use.

Inquisitor-Redeemer OCC

- Book of Redemption, Father Torque

The Inquisitor-Redeemers are the champions of the faithful. They are the
daemon slayers, the investigators and the preachers combined. The Inquisitor-
Redeemers are usually seen as a warrior figure; the Damned, in all its forms,
must be destroyed, without mercy or pity. Their dedication, however, remains
solely with the church. The Bible remains their book of ordinances and
guidance. They would recite passages from both the Testiments in the midst of
a fight. For example, while "interrogating" a suspected heretic they might
recite Revelations 9:6. However, doesn't the Bible consist of irregularities?
"An eye for an eye" and " Turn the other cheek." Thus each Inquisitor has an
individual code of honour, yet all remain devoted to their god. Roleplaying
note: An Inquisitor-Redeemer player will eventually have to ask himself if he
is indeed the bane of the night or just a ruffian or bully, and whether his
duty to the church is greater than his own self integrety.

The Inquisitor-Redeemer has few powers; his great dedication and being a hard
ass are his armaments of purity. Their trademark weapon has no official name
(described below); however, the passage of time has chosen to call it the
"Redeemer" in honour of those who wield it. The present Inquisition is
described lower down the page. For many years the Redeemer Inquisiton has
worked underground; now with the magic eruption on Earth this is no longer
necessary. Note: I never took this OCC too seriously, and I don't know how
they'll react to Ireland's IRA. It's up to you.

ALIGHNMENT: Typically Aberrant, ironically

Rogue: Any
Science: None
Technical: Any (+5%)
Weapon: Any
Wilderness: Any (+5%)
SECONDARY SKILLS: Select 3 at levels 2, 4, 7, 10, 13

STANDARD EQUIPMENT:
Inquistorial robes,backpack, utility belt, air filter and gas mask, sleeping
bag, 6 wooden stakes, hammer, flamethrower, canteen, rations, few extra clips,
radio, rope, small axe, few knives, a personal items and some form of
transportation. Also, plenty of implements of torture (there's this thing
they can do with a cheese grater.)

WEAPONS:
Prefer ancient style weapons. They start with a minor magical weapon
(described below) They will use modern weapons as well without hesitaiton.

MAGIC:
The Inquisitor-Redeemer does not know any spells, nor will he learn any.
However, he is expert at identifying magical items and wards. He can also
read spells from scrolls, equivalent to his experience level!

PSIONICS:
None. Most Inquisitor-Redeemers consider Psychics to be low level dmons.

SPECIAL ABILITIES:

Special Combat: The Inquisitor Redeemer has studied as a youth on how to fight
the supernatural (including the Undead). Furthermore, he will always
recognise evil in whatevr form it takes (Treat as Sense Evil, without ISP
cost.) Thus, when confronting a supernatural creature the Inquisitor will
know all its weaknesses. Furthermore, in Hand to Hand combat the Inquisitor
Redeemer will always hit a vulnerable point with any weapon, so that damage is
doubled.

Hardened: Due to their hardened training the Inquisitor Redeemer has lost all
fear of the supernatural and replaced it with hatred; when dealing with Horror
Factors roll normally. If they fail (remeber the + 8 bonus) they do not
succumb to their horrors. Instead the Inquisitor Redeemer goes berserk and
charges the monster with the H.F. that the Inquisitor failed. He gains an
extra attack and + 2 to strike, but he must engage in Hand to Hand and every
attack must be use to strike ie. no dodging or parrying. If unable to do so
the Inquisitor Redeemer is still enraged, but attacks verbally, in demoic
tongues even the monsters fear. The monsters themselves must roll vs. horror
factor. It works out like this. The Inquisitors H.F. is 20 - the demon's
H.F. so a monster with a H.F. of 14 has to save vs. H.F. of 6 (20 - 14 + 6).

Impervious to mind control: The Inquisitor Redeemer is also impervious to the
Vampires slow bite. It will do damage, but the warrior priest will not be
controlled in any way. This applies to all forms of mind control.

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT:
The Redeemer: It is usually in the form of an inquisitorial staff, on which
are inscribed runes which twist and writhe as if tormented. The staff
inflicts 2D4 points of damage to a human. Againest the supernatural and MDC
beings it inflicts double damage in MDC! In the hands of the Inquistor it
does double that! The "Redeemer staff" also gets more powerful as the
Inquistor becomes more experienced. For every level up the staff inflicts an
additional + 1 point of damage eg. a 5th level Inquisitor-Redeemer would
inflict 2D4 + 5 SDC to a human and 4D4 + 10 to a demon. It also casts
Exorcism at the same level as the Inquisitor-Redeemer. Once the Redeemer has
reached 10th level the staff gains a new power, but no known Inquisitor has
used it before. This is to be used during their darkest hour.. It is said
that the staff will moan with the voices of the damned, and then drink the
souls of all living things within a mile radius. All creatures must roll vs.
magic of 20! The only way to survive is basically to roll a natural 20 or if
you have a high bonus. As for the Inquisitor, he is doomed with no saving
roll. All the souls are said to be tormented for ever.

ALLIANCES AND ALLIES:
Not many. They consider all Catholics (and sometimes all Christians in
general) to be under their protection. Should they visit Wormwood they will
sympathise with the Cathedral and the people. However, when they find how
corrupt the organisation is they will be disgusted; the Inquisition, despite
popular belief, gives everyone, save heretics, equal standing. They may or
may not like the monsters working for the Cathedral. In Nightspawn they will
treat the Guardians as allies, till they see reason not to. Many believe them
to be angels! They will not worship them, since they're such hardasses, but
treat them as equal servents of the Lord.

ENEMIES:
Oh boy. They hate all supernatural creatures, in the following order:
Daemons (supernatural creatures that look hellish), the Hexen (another OCC by
me) , the Undead, dragons. Heretics are considered as bad as they are
betrayers of the faithful. In Nightspawn they will not like the Nightspawn at
all, and consider them the works of the Devil. They will despise all denizens
of the Nightlands, considering the Dopplegangers to be souls of the Damned.
Should they enter Wormwood they will despise the Apok; they will only see them
as the betrayers they once were. They consider the Unholy and his forces to
be demons and will treat them as so. They will not be comfortable around
anyone who has not converted to Christianity, who they consider to be heathen.

DESCRIPTION:
The Redeemers are first recruited by older Inquisitors for their willpower and
dedication. They are then taken to one of the seven monasteries where the
Inquisition holds power. Only a few no of such places. Here they train to be
acolytes. They are taught the Old and New Testiments and will recite them by
heart. They study the lores of the demons which they will fight. The
Inquisition focus their hatred to these creatures and manipulate the acolytes
with this focus. Then they are taught to fight the demons by the most
experienced warriors.
Their training ends around the age of 17, when they take a rite of passage.
The acolyte is sent out to hunt a heretic or demonic creature. When he
returns to the monastery they will be given their Inquisitorial robes and the
Redeemer staff. Only then is he a true Inquisitor-Redeemer. Many fail in
their first quest; there is a 40% rate of failure. There are less than a
thousand of these preacher warriors, but each one is a power house, capable of
dealing with the most powerful daemon in whatever form it choses.

By the way, if you figure out how an Inquisitor Redeemer would react with a
member of the Sinn Fein or the IRA, e-mail me. I would like to know what I'm
supposed to do in this confrontation. I'm on AOL (yes, it's embarrassing) if
you want to contact me.

E/Z INC. PRESENTS:

INVISIBLE PERSON Optional OCC

During the the late twentieth century there were a spree of
accidents causing numerous objects and people to become invisible (see movies
such as Memoirs of the Invisible Man, and Invisible). These invisible people
stay in perfect heath for numerous years. Unfortunately the strain on the body
killed the invisible people after ten years .
Now, the coalition and Triax see the potential for having the power of
invisibility and have many scientists working feverishly to try to uncover the
secret of it. Neither Triax or Coalition has had any success.
The only cases of invisibility were exactly the same as the late
twentieth century: accidents. These accidents are always varied. It might be
caused by a weird explosion in a lab or somebody getting struck by lightning.
The Invisible person OCC is always caused by an accident. The GM gets to pick
the accident which caused the the person to become invisible.
Even though the accidents are different, the victims are always the
same. They are always have normal health. Also they are not invisible to info
red, sonar, radar, ultraviolet light, heat, motion detector and any other
human sense other than sight. Anything they ingest will be invisible until it
comes out. Unlike what is previously thought, if the invisible person bleeds,
the blood is invisible. Also they cannot conceal anything if they are wearing
invisible clothes. One of the problems of the Invisible people OCC is that
they lack hand/eye coordination.

Ironoid RCC

The Ironoids are a race of humanoids that are made of iron.
But not just any iron, a MDC type iron. They have many
supernatural powers to boot. Their only weakness is salt water,
which does MD to them. They have no home planet, and there are
only perhaps 5,000 in the entire megaverse. Their are only 20
reported to be anywhere near RIFTS earth.
Ironoids do not reproduce, have no sex, and are featureless
except for a mouth and two slits where they see from. They see in
the same spectrum and humans, and hear in the same spectrum. Can
not taste or smell. Can feel and hear just like humans. They are
humanoid looking (i.e. two arms, two legs, no tail, head). If a
opponent specifically targets and hits the head, 2x damage. Any
amount of salt water smaller then a milk carton does 1d8 MD to a
Ironoid. This MDC is permanently lost. Any amount over a milk
carton does 3d6 MD and is also permanently lost MDC. This means
the Ironoid can never gain it back.

Alignment: Any, but few are evil.

Attributes: IQ 2D6+1, ME 2D6+10, MA 1D6+6, PS 5D6+1, PP 3D6, PE
N/A, PB 2D6, Spd 2D6.

character has no magic and 1d6 PPE. On a roll of 4-9, the
character may chose 3 first level spells at level one, an
additional 2 first level spells at level 3, and 1 second level
spell at level 8. The character has 5d6 PPE, plus 2 per level of
experience. On a roll of 0 (10), the character can chose 4 first
level spells and 1 second level spell at level one, and 3 spells
from any level 1-3 at level 6. Characters have 6d6 PPE +2 per
level of experience.

Psionics: When creating an Ironoid, roll 1d6. On a 1 or 2, the
character has no ISP or psionics. On a 3-5, the character can
chose 3 psionics from any class but super at level one (excluding
Astral Projection and Empathy), and an additional 2 from any type
but super, with no restrictions, at level 4. Characters of this
nature have 3d6 ISP +ME, add 1 ISP per level of experience. On a
6, the character may chose 6 psionics from any category but super
at level one, 1 Super psionic at level 3 (Excludes Mentally posses
others, Mind Bond, and Telemechanics), and 3 psionics form any
category but Super at level 7. This type of character has 1d4x10
+ME to begin with and adds 3 ISP per level of experience.

Other Powers

Attributes are all supernatural.
Immune to all gases and poison, except MD corrosive ones.
Can detect another Ironoid within a 500 mile radius, and can
locate to pinpoint accuracy.
Can detect iron deposits at up to 5 miles.
Doesn't need anything to survive.
Regenerates 2d6 MDC per 2 minutes unless salt water hit.

Cannot be turned into, or bitten, by a vampire. If a vampire bites
an Ironoid, it permanently loses 2d6 HP.

Average Life Span: 300 years

Habitat: None, but hates and fears saltwater. Will rarely live by
the ocean. Actually prefers Junkyards to anything else. But only
if there is plenty of scrap metal for food.

Enemies: Cernun Mystics hate Ironoids. The feeling is mutual.
This also means Gigantes hate Ironoids.

I designed this RCC for a campain I am currently running. I thought it

dimension the characters are in.

Backround: These creatures are the result of some pretty wild magic/genetic
experimentation by some creature long, long ago. They live in a pocket
dimension called Morva (this I may flesh out more later). Its pretty typical
of Rifts style earth but the tech level is much lower (early earth reniacense)
but there is a LOT of magic! The Jabs are one of the 2 intelligent races that

poison.

Magical Abilities: Tounges spell is constantly in effect, costs no P.P.E.
Pick one elemental catagory for your character. eg. Earth, Fire, Water, Air.
Choose 2 spells from first level. Then for each level of experience select

to 1-4.
At third level they can also cast the Armor of Ithan spell, but it
costs 2 times the normal PPE to cast.

and Healer catagories. Add one new psionnic ability form both catagories at
levels 3, 6, 9, 12, 15.

articulated hands with an opposable thumb. Thier fur is various shades of
green, it starts out very bright in colour when young (almost flourecent)
and darkens as the character ages (the very old typicaly have an almost
black coat). ALL Jabs have brilliant purple eyes!

Jedi OCC

Somewhere in a galaxy far, far away...

STAR WARS!!

But this isn't your usual Star Wars. There aren't any Ewoks or Wookies, no
Princess Leia, and no metal headed guy that breaths funny.

Something has gone wrong in the Star Wars universe. Unknown to them, they
live in a dimension parallel to our Rifts Earth!! Therefore, the chances of a
rift opening up there are greater than anywhere else! And that's just what
happened.

An unfortunate Shifter, who abused his natural powers one too many times
stumbled upon this dimension while trying to find a place he could pose as a
god. But, he ended up opening a portal in the middle of a Jedi training camp.
Since Luke's success, he had decided to show worthy people the ways of the
Jedi. In other words, Jedi training camps could be found almost anywhere!
The vortex of air created by the rift opening sucked about 100 of these
advanced people into our world. Since they possessed a power so great, they
instantly changed into what we call M.D.C. Even their skin!!

To many, the Jedi have become a sort of Cyber-Knight, only better! They are
almost always of a Good or Unprincipled alignment with the exception of about
one in seventy-five warriors. These are the rebel Darth Vader characters
(which can actually be fun!).

O.C.C. = Jedi

Alignment: Any! (over 90% are Good or Selfish)

M.D.C. = 1d4 (not much, but convert it to S.D.C. and look out!)

words, with three attacks per melee round, he would attack six times-twice per
attack. BUT, this is only with the light saber!!
+4 dodge, +3 parry, has death blow at level one on natural 18-20.

BIONICS: Following the movie, Jedi's may have limited bionics. FIVE at level
one and no more!! If any more are taken, all psionic abilities are lost as
are the OCC Bonuses. May have any bionic or cybernetic augmentation except
for weapons, inhuman or other additional abnormal appendages. Jedi's try to
keep their appearance as human as possible. They don't like to stand out!

WEAPONS:
Light Saber: The Jedi's main weapon. Will be used over 90% of time.
Length: 4 ft. Grows 1/2 foot per level of experience
Damage: 1d6x10 M.D.!
Special: Can parry energy, lasers, and plasma at additional +4.
Unlimited Usage

S.D.C. weapon of choice. No automatic weapons.
Bow or Crossbow of choice with 20 explosive arrows (3d6 M.D.)
NG-57 Ion Pistol: Range: 1000ft. Damage: 2d4 or 3d6. Payload: 10
Carries an additional 5 long E-Clip for it.

EQUIPMENT: portable language translator, RMK, IRMSS. That's it!! They came
through with minimum gear!

ARMOR: Will wear just about any light armor, but they also have their own.
MYSTICAL CLOAK: 10 MDC, no prowl penalty, conceals face. Can cast Shadow
Meld and Armor of Ithan for 55 MDC at no ISP cost!!

SPECIAL ABILITIES: Can floop into a parallel dimension (a black spacey,
nothingness) for up to 1d4 attacks. They seem to have disappeared to
everyone. Will reappear at a distance of 15 ft. NO, they cannot control
where! Will never come back inside of an object, though. This ability is
just like the floopers in RIFTS: MERCS.
When using the light saber, they NEVER lose an attack for parrying with it!
They may parry as many times as their heart desires without losing an attack!
Also when using the light saber, they get a temporary paired weapon when
defending. In other words, when parrying or blocking with the light saber,
they may automatically attack at the same time with it as many times as they
want! An automatic symotaneous!

MONEY: NONE!!! They had nothing when they came through!
EXPERIENCE: Rather than create a new table for the Jedi, especially since
there are already over 100 of them, I chose one that best fit what I thought
to be typical. After reviewing the movies, I thought that Luke became very
proficient in the Jedi ways an a quick pace. So, I chose the CS Grunt
experience table. Yes, that's right...the Grunt.

NOTE: Almost all Jedi's will not hate D-Bees. They have lived with them for
centuries and know they can be lived with peacefully! Also, they will never
use Robots or Power Armor except in life and death emergencies! Even then,
they will not pilot it. They do not believe in machines like that. THEY
BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES!

Jedi Knight OCC

Here is that Jedi Knight class... sorry it took so long but with the amount of
material plus finals I haven't had the time to sit down and type it all out.
If you have any ideas or questions I will be on the list until May 19th and
will return in September when the college reopens....I encourage any
responses....well enough chatter....in the words of Admiral Kirk "Here it
comes"

They are a group of travellers (always of good alignment; evil alignments are
possible but I would keep them as NPC's in role playing testing evil Jedi PC's
tended to get out of hand really fast because they had no qualms about killing
people) that travel the galaxy righting wrongs. The Jedi's use the force,
which is created and sustained by life. The Jedi acts to preserve this life.
the Jedi may kill in self-defense or the defense of others if by doing so he
preservesthe exsistance of life. The Jedi doesn't act for power, fortune or
fame, just the gaining of knowledge and the preservation of life.
If a PC breaks this code and doesn't atone for it (GM's choice of what
atonement is) the characters powers and attributes are reduced 25%.(this
usually keeps PC's honest, again citing play testing)
The character can take 1/2 of their earned xp and put it toward the
advancement of force powers( there are 3 classes Control, Sense and Alter) as
they see fit.
Alignment: Good alignments only
Attributes: 3d6 for all (I try to limit this class to humans only,
although any race with good intentions is permissable. I was trying to keep
the
class balanced and with some of the greater races around it could get really
ugly really quick)
HTP: PE + 2d6+4 per level SDC: 1d6x10 plus physical bonuses
PPE: 3d6 ISP/FP: 2d4x10 + ME(x2) +4d6/lvl
Natural Abilities: Can stay active even at -20 htp with the use of
force powers, other than that they are same as humans
Combat: 3 attacks/melee plus those gained from hand to hand combat
Bonuses: +4 to parry, +2 to dodge, +2 to initiative plus bonuses from
attributes and skills.
Average Life Span: with the force 200+ years

Lightsaber: inflicts 5d6 MD and increases in power (+2d6MD every three
levels, and +1d6MD per level of Control Power). They can parry energy attacks
with no parry bonus (except for that gained from every level of sense power;
+1
to parry per level). The character can also add 20 ISP(Force points) to boost
the damage of the lightsaber 1d6MD/per 20 ISP, this effect lasts 5min/level of
the jedi. NOTE: For the Lightsaber WP use the WP Sword given in the book. Also
a Jedi will try not to use a lightsaber on an enemy not capable of defending
himself from the attak. (ex. A peasant is being mugged by a thug with no
weapons, the Jedi won't lop his head off with the Lightsaber.)


******* Control Powers *******

Control Pain --> Cost- 5 isp no Sdc, 10 for 1/2 htp, 20 for no htp
Effect: Allows the character to ignore the pain caused by any
wound and act as normal. This also works on pain inflicted through torture.
NOTE: This doesn't heal the wound they just don't feel it.
Dur: 2min/lvl

Remain Concious --> Cost- 10 for no htp, 20 for -10 htp
Effect: Allows the character to remain concious even if the blow
should
render them otherwise. The next action should be Control pain if they would
like
to do anything else. After this is done the character may act normally for the
duration of the effect.
Dur: 2min/lvl

Hibernative Trance --> Cost- 20
Effect: The character falls into unconciousness and for all intents
and
purposes looks dead. Anyone who looks at the charater will believe they are
dead
unless they perform a complete diagnosis to prove otherwise. Listening for a
heart beat will require about a minute to discover a slight trace of one.
Dur: 1 month in a dry atmoshpere, 2 in a moist atmoshpere, 3 before
the
character dies of starvation.
NOTE: A character can snap out of the trance at any time but they have
no idea about what is going on around them in this state.

Accelerated Healing --> Cost- 5

the normal healing rate is tripled for one day.
Dur: Instant

Contort/Escape --> Cost- Loose Bonds- 5, handcuffs- 10, serious
restraints- 15, Maximum security- 20, Houdini like- 30

without causing damage to the character.

throw off infection or disease with a 75% success rate.
Duration: Instant

Absorb/Dissipate Energy --> Cost- 15
Effect: Allows the character to absorb and dissipate huge amounts of
energy without suffering damage. This includes all forms of energy and it may
be used to dissipate weapons fire in which case the cost is the initial 15 +
the damage inflicted by the attack.
Dur: 5 min/lvl or per energy blast.


******* Sense Powers *******

Receptive Telepathy --> Cost- 5 for willing members, 5+ the ME of
target if attempting to resist.
Effect: Allows the character to read the surface thoughts or emotions
of the target. For 3x the cost you can read sections of the victims mind and
their true intentions.
Dur: 2 min/lvl
Saving Throw: vs Psionics

Magnify Senses --> Cost- 5 per 5ft radius

sense otherwise. The character can sense traps, concealled passages or people,
invisible objects etc. However, the character will only know that they are
present not where they are (knows general location) or what they are.
Bonuses: +3 to initiative, +2 to parry, and +4 to dodge while power is
activated.
Dur: 2 min/lvl

Life Sense --> Cost- 5
Effect: The character can sense the presense and identity of the
person
for which they seek. The user can tell how bad off the person is and if the

target being tracked has psionic ability they will sense this and a mind block
will negate it.

Effect: Adds +25% to navigation rolls and only have to check at half
the normal rate when the power is in use.
Dur: 2 min/lvl


******* Alter Powers *******

Telekinesis --> see main book for description
NOTE: Using this force power to injure or attack other characters is
possible but is considered an evil act that must be atoned for (or suffer
penalties described earlier) because the force is being used offensively.

Injure/Kill --> Cost- 30 plus targets PE
Effect: The character attempts to alter the targets body in such a way
that it will incapacitate or kill the target. Both the target and the
character
roll a 20 sided die, the character adds their ME att. the target adds their PE
att. to this roll. If the characters roll is 2x the targets then the target is
mortally wounded, if the characters roll is higher the target is incapacitated
for 1 melee round (loses all attacks), and if the targets roll is higher or
equal there is no effect.
Dur: Instant
NOTE: Attempting this power, no matter what the result is an act of
evil which the Jedi must atone for.



******* Control/Sense Powers *******
These are combinations of the above powers giving the previous powers greater
effect. In order to use these powers a character must have a level in each of
these catergories.

Projective Telepathy --> Cost- 5 per 1000ft range
Effect: The target "hears" the thoughts and "feels" the emotions of
the
user. The target knows these feelings aren't their own. This power is not used
to control only to communicate.
Bonuses: Adds +10% to trust rolls if the character is projecting
sincere thoughts.
Dur: 2 min/lvl
Saving Throw: vs psionics if target is not receptive.

Farseeing --> Cost- 15, + 15 if looking into the past, + 25 if looking
into the future.
Effect: The user sees the place or person he wishes to see in their
mind. The character can see the surrounding area around the target so the
character can sense what is happening. This power can also be used to see into
the past or the future. Looking into the past allows the character to get
glimpses of what has happened in the particular area. Looking into the future
the character's view rapidly becomes unclear because the future is not set.
GM'S discretion on what they allow the character to see.
Dur: 3 min/lvl



******* Control/Alter *******

Control Another's Pain --> Cost- add 5 to Control Pains costs
Effect: See Control Pain

Return to Conciousness --> Cost- add 5 to Remain Concious costs
Effect: See Remain Concious

Place in Hibernative Trance --> Cost- 30
Effect: Same as Hibernative Trance but can only be used on a willing
target.

Accelerate Another's Healing --> Cost- 15
Effect: See Accelerated Healing

Detoxify Poison in Another --> Cost- + 5 to Detoxify Poisons cost
Effect: See Detoxify Poison

Control Another's Disease --> Cost- +5 to Control Disease cost
Effect: See Control Disease

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Inflict Pain --> Cost- 20
Effect: The target experiences a great deal of agony reducing all
bonuses and skills by half for as long as the power is kept active. The target
gets a saving throw vs. psionics when the power is used and at every upkeep.
Dur: 2 min/lvl
NOTE: This is considered an evil use of the force so the Jedi must
atone for it.

Transfer Force --> Cost- 25
Effect: The Jedi transfers part of his life force (htp) into a target
with a 5 htp minimum transfer. The target heals the amount channeled however
the loss to the Jedi is permenant. (GM note: I suggest a hefty xp award when
this power is used to save someone who was close to the character and would
die
without the transfer.)
Dur: Instant



*******Control, Sense, Alter Powers*******

Affect Mind --> Cost- 40 + ME of target
Effect: Alter a victims perception "What was that noise", alter
memories permenantly so that it is incorrect or forgotten, or alter a
characters conclusions so that they come to an incorrect conclusion " These
aren't the droids we're looking for". Can also cause hallucinations sensed by
all senses. The victim gets to make a saving throw at -3 to prevent the
effects
from happening.
Dur: 5 min/lvl or permenant for memories

Telekinetic Kill --> Cost- 100 + PE of target
Can't be learned until third level in all 3 catergories
Effect: The user uses his telekinetic ability to injure/ kill the
intended target. The exact method can vary: one can stir the brain, squeeze
the
heart or Vader's personal favorite crush the trachea. The victim is allowed
the
best 2 out of 3 saving throws at -3.
Dur: Instant
NOTE: This is the ultimate use of the force in an evil way so the Jedi
should have good reason to use it and atonement should be twice as long.




OTHER NOTES: For those who would like to use the Jedi evilly ignore the
penalties for offensive use of the force, the character has +1 lvl to control
for the Darkside is easier to learn but reduce the life span to a third of
what
is normal because the Darkside destroys the body. For experience point tables
use the ones for Cyber Knights in the main book.....the force catergories can
be raised every 2000 xp. Durations given under these catergories are the
levels
that the powers are listed at (ex at first level the Jedi have lvl 1 control
so
the duration on resist pain is 2 min, at lvl 2 control 4 min etc)
All information presented here was glkeaned from the movies or
converted from the Star Wars RPG whose help in presenting the powers was most
helpful so I cite them for my use.
Any questions or comments please e-mail me before may 19th and I will
be happy to help in any way possible. Have fun Gaming

Kaazar R.C.C.:

The Kazaar are those Keltarians that show some psychic potential, and are
made into an elite fighting force, much like holy warriors since only the
priests also have psychic powers. They have also been physically modified in
an unknown manner to make them far superior to the average Keltar. (Note:
there is suprisingly more male than female Kaazar, only about 30% are female.)

a master psychic with the following powers being common to all:
1. Psi-sword! Equivalent to a cyber-knight causing 1d6 M.D. at first
level and adding 1d6 M.D. at levels three, six, nine, twelve, and
fifteen.
I.S.P. Cost: 0.
2. Psi-shield: Same as the super psionic power but costs less.
I.S.P. Cost: 10.

Keltar Engineer:

Keltarian engineers are highly respected members of the empire. The reason
for this simply is that they are the ones that made/invented many of the high-
tech weapons/equipment of the Keltarian civilization. They are amazing
engineers, always making modifications to their equipment to make it work
better. The engineers are also usually good warriors, for they find the best
way to develop and test a new weapon is in the real field of battle, and they
are the only ones competent enough to use their newest and best technology.
Note that male and female engineers have the same stats. This is because
females with superior stats always choose other careers. Doctors are also in
this class, they have an A.O.M. in Medical.

Keltar Priest(ess)/Psychic R.C.C.

The Keltarian religion is rather obscure, with the entire race worshipping a
pantheon of war gods. All of the Prietesses (or priests, 90% are female) are
master psychics, being the only other class of psychics in the Keltarian
race (the Kazaar being the other). Their powers include a special "gift from
the gods" allowing them to temporarily alter their physical structure, making
them more deadly killing machines.

Alignment: Any, but usually anarchist or miscreant. Aberrant alignment is
also
common. Principled and scrupulus are very rare (less than 1%)!
Attributes: I.Q. 4d6+1, M.E. 5d6, M.A. 3d6, P.S. 3d6+1, P.P. 3d6+2,
P.E. 3d6+1, P.B. 2d6, Spd. 3d6+3. All attributes are considered
supernatural (female and male priests are roughly equal).
Size: 8 to 10 feet tall.
Weight: 250-600 lbs.
M.D.C.: P.E.x10+15, plus add 2d6 per level of experience.
Horror Factor: 9
P.P.E.: 2d6
Average Life Span: 150 years.
Natural Abilities: Night vision to 200 feet plus can erect a psychic force
field at will. The force field has an M.D.C. of P.E.x12 and
regenerates at a rate of 20 per hour (Note this is a personal force
field and only extends about six inches around the body, but will
cover equipment and weapons.
Also note that the Keltarian cannot engage in melee combat while the

does have a penalty though in that the Keltar becomes more savage
and less intelligent. Decrease I.Q. by half and consider the
character to have the following insanities: obsession with violence
(loves it, wants to kill all enemies) and becomes a borderline
psychotic (wants to stalk and murder for the joy of it). The
insanities are temporary, and vanish when the character returns to
normal. (Note: the character can only change back by themselves if
they roll under their I.Q. on 5d6. Otherwise they must wait for the
duration to ellapse.) Gain a +1 to control rolls every two levels
(starting with +1 at third level). Duration: 10 minutes plus 1d6
minutes per level. I.S.P. cost: 25. Also see psionics.

levels three, five, seven, nine, eleven, and fifteen.
I.S.P.: 3d6x10+ the characters M.E. attribute, plus add 2d6 per level

Kherubim RCC

This is a good natured and powerful race of people. They are the
arch-enemies of the Daemonites. (email me for info on Daemonites). Comments
and suggestions are appreciated.

The Kherubim are a race of human-like aliens from another dimension
who came upon earth by mistake. During a battle with the Daemonites, their
arch enemies, a group of each race was transported to earth. The Kherubim
are nearly human in appearance, and they quickly melded into earth's
society. They slowly continued to grow in number and fought to destroy the
Daemonite presence in our world.
When the rifts came, the Kherubim gained strength. They continued
to try to stop the Daemonites from reaching their home world. When the
Kherubim integrated themselves into society, they found that they were
"compatible" with humans. The integration of humans and Kherubim was okay
until the time of rifts. When the rifts came, the magic energy was
channeled through the powerful Kherubim into their children. These
children were called "gifted ones." The name given by the Kherubim applies.
The half breeds were born with amazing abilities. These children had a few
of the abilities of the Kherubim, and they also displayed various and
numerous other traits and powers.
The Kherubim began to find the "gifted ones" after the time of
rifts. Not every child of Kherubim became a "gifted one," and they were all
different. The Daemonites somehow also found out about these amazing
"gifted ones." The Daemonites began to seek out the "gifted ones." They
usually chose to attack the helpless new-born children. At first, the
Daemonites sought to destroy all of the "gifted ones," but later they
discovered that when they possessed the children, they too received the
amazing powers. Thus began the search.
The Kherubim and Daemonites fought to find the gifted ones for each
their own purpose. The Kherubim sought to teach them to kill the evil
Daemonites. The Daemonites sought to enslave the "gifted ones" and use them
to conquer worlds.

of the only known powers of this type. Full conversion will 1/4 the powers,
but all others have no affect. The Kherubim's psionics are reduced with
bionics (normal limits), but natural abilities remain unchanged.

Lightning Dragon RCC


Here is a new class of Dragon I think you'll enjoy. The
Lightning Dragon is the rarest species of Dragon known to exist.
There are 1/4 less Lightning Dragons then there are Chiang Ku. The
attributes below are for the baby dragon. I do not intend to make
the attributes for the adult for quite some time. There are no
adults on Rifts Earth, and there is only one in Atlantis perhaps
once every 10 years.
Use the Dragon RCC section from the rifts main book for the
skills, age, levels, etc. The only difference is Claw does 3d4 MD
(add to punch attacks), Bite does 1d6 MD.

Size: The average Lightning Hatchling, in Dragon form, is 40 feet
long, 10 feet high, 7 feet wide, and has a wingspan of 60 feet.

Weight: The average Lightning Dragon weighs around 5 to 7 tons.

Attributes: IQ 6D6, ME 5D6, MA 3D6, PS 4D6, PP 5D6, PE 4D6, PB
5D6, Spd 6D6+2

PPE: 2d4x10

MDC: 1D6x50

Natural Abilities: Fly at 100 mph, Nightvision 80 feet, See the
Invisible, Electricity Resistant (1/2 damage from Particle and Ion
attacks!!!), Regenerates 1d6x5 MDC per 4 minutes.

Metamorphosis: Same as Great Horned Hatchling

Teleport: Same as Great Horned Hatchling, but has 35% +3% per
level of experience.

Electricity Breath: 4D6 MD, 120 foot range

Psionics: Major Psionic. Chose seven powers from any of the
psionic categories except super. Chose an additional psionic from
any level but super at levels 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 14. Chose 1
power from super at levels 6 and 12. ISP: 3d4x10+10.

Adult at 700 years

LINEBACKER RCC
An RCC by DaBeechMan

The Linebacker is a being of pure ley line energy, believed by some to be
inhabited by the siprit of a person who died on a ley line. A Linebacker
resembles a person in football gear, hence the name. They have some cool
powers, but just as many limitations.

LINEBACKER RCC
REQUIREMENTS: None
ALIGNMENT: Any
ATTRIBUTES: Same as in life. Note that while attributes convey, powers do not.
SKILLS: As in life

POWERS: All OCC/RCC powers from life are completely GONE. This is important
because the Linebacker gains the following powers:

-All the powers of a Line Walker that pertain to magic or ley lines.
-The Linebacker loses all ISP and PPE. However, it gains the following
psionics: PPE
Shield, Telekinesis (simple) and 1 of choice from any category (Super
included). Costs> Triple normal ISP cost to use with PPE.
-Oh, I forgot to mention PPE. The Linebacker has 1d6x100+100 PPE! ThereÕs one
catch though: Since the Linebacker is made of PPE, the LinebackerÕs MDC is
ALWAYS equal to its cuttent PPE and vice versa. This means that casting spells
takes away MDC, and causing damage to the Linebacker takes away PPE.
-Hurting a Linebacker is not easy, by the way. It can only be hurt by magic,
magical
weapons, or energy weapons that do more than 4d6 MD. Even with energy weapons,
damage is halved (though it is not halved for a magic weapon of any sort, and
that includes Techno-Wizard weapons.) The Linebacker can shoot football-shaped
bolts of PPE, doing an amount of damage equal to the amount of PPE spent
making it. Note that this subtracts from the LinebackerÕs PPE just like any
other PPE expenditure.
-The Linebacker regenerates 10 PPE/ 4 melees when within 100 feet of a ley
line or nexus. Walking into a ley line or nexus instantly regenerates all PPE.
-no need for food, drink, air, or sleep

LIMITATIONS:

-First, the Linebacker is made of energy, not matter. Not being matter, it
cannot hold any items. The only way around this is telekinesis, and remember
that this hurts the linebacker.
-If a linebacker is killed, nothing can bring it back, not even a Phoenix
tattoo. The only
hope is to get it into a ley line before it dies. Note, however, that it is
otherwise immortal, and will not die unless it meets a violent end.
-For every week spent away from a ley line, the linebacker loses 10 PPE which
cannot be regained until it touches a ley line. Remember what PPE loss does to
Linebackers...

GEAR:Usually none, because it cannot be carried. It doesn't need any anyway.

MONEY: Why would it even care? It doesn't need to buy any gear, so why would
it need money
(like it could carry the money anyway)

FRIENDS: Anybody who isn't afraid of magic

ENEMIES: Anyone else, especially Coalition.

MAGO-RUNNER OCC

Mago-Runners (also called "M-runners") started to appear about 5 years
after the Psi-Runners appeared. They like Psi-Runners and will do anything to
help them, but the Psi-Runners are annoyed at them, believing them to be
"copycats."

MAGO-RUNNER OCC
ALIGNMENT: Starts out good or unprincipled, but may turn evil later.
REQUIREMENTS: IQ 15, PE 14
BONUSES: +3 to ME, +2 to PE (added AFTER the character has qualified to be an
M-Runner. Sorry!)
PSIONICS: Psi-Armor and Telepathy. Should the character be in a situation
where they may gain psionics, NO healing psionics are allowed. ISP 100
permanent
MAGIC: May choose 2 spells each from Levels 1-4 plus 1 more of any level up to
4. Gains 1 spell per level, equal in level to the M-Runner's level. If the
M-Runner's ME is below 15, he cannot cast spells of a level higher than the ME
number (i.e. ME 13 means no level 14 or 15 spells.) NO temporal spells,
warlock spells, Spells of Legend, or any healing magic of any sort, no matter
what. PPE 2d4x10, add 1d10 per level.
SKILLS:
M-Runners are a loose bunch with no real formal training in the way of skills.
Choose 30 skills except medical, computer hack, or pilot Robots & PA (just as
dishonorable for an M-Runner as for a Psi-Runner.) However, will have these
skills automatically, in addition to any chosen:
Speak 3 languages
WP Knife
Horsemanship
CYBERNETICS: Same story for tattoos as for 'Runners, any except for the rose
or phoenix. Same story for penalties on the phoenix tattoo, but the rose
halves PPE, not ISP, on an M-Runner. Would rather die than get any other kind
of enhancement (NOTE: Psi-Armor is a little wierd for these guys. If they
lose a limb, that limb will still appear on the Psi-Armor. The armor that is
where the missing limb should be will be animated in such a way that it may be

The Martial Warrior OCC

Although certain forms of martial arts were stifled by the coming of
the rifts, as their secrets were buried in the rubble of chaos, others have
bloomed since that point in time. The way of the Martial Warrior, despite
its inherant secrecy, is gaining in popularity and influence. A skilled
Martial Warrior uses a combination of his own chi and the PPE that saturates
Rifts earth to create brilliant, destructive effects. Though some did know
of the secrets of the Martial Warrior prior to the Rifts age, it is only now
that the energies have been ripe enough for the art to grow.
Martial Warriors are generally highly trained humans (and perhaps
some non-humans, such as elves, dwarves, orcs, etc -- anyone without major
natural abilities, such as MDC), whose advanced forms of martial art study
allow them to perform super-human feats. As they grow in level, their range
and strength of abilities also grows.

Psionics: 50% of all Martial Warriors have access to minor psionic powers.
See the Rifts rule book, page 12, for details.

Special Abilities: A Martial Warrior has access to some very unique
abilities. There are two main types: Augmentation Abilities and Power (or
Chi) Abilities. Once a specific ability has been chosen, it may _not_ be
selected again for cumulative effect.
Augmentation Abilities -- Starting at level one, a Martial Warrior
may select from the following Augmentation list once every three levels (ie:
select an ability at levels 1, 4, 7, 10, and 13). These abilities are
described in Rifts Conversion Book One:
* Extraordinary ME
* Extraordinary PS
* Extraordinary PE (all previous SDC bonuses become MDC)
* Extraordinary PP
* Extraordinary Spd
* Healing Factor

Power Abilities -- Starting at level two, a Martial Warrior may
select from the following Power list once every three levels (ie: select an
ability at levels 2, 5, 8, 11, and 14). These abilities are described
individually -- the exact details of all must be chosen when the ability is
selected, and cannot be changed:

Power Abilities for the Martial Warrior OCC:

* Charge - A charge takes up two of the character's melee attacks,
but allows him to strike an opponent up to leaping distance away. Damage is
doubled, and even non-supernaturally strong Martial Warriors inflict 1D4 MD
with this attack. This attack is very difficult to parry -- the target
suffers a -5 penalty to do so. (Examples: Rayden's 'Superman' Attack from
Mortal Kombat, Chun-Li's Spinning Star Kick from Street Fighter II).

* Distance Strike - With this ability, the Martial Warrior summons
some form of concentrated mystic energy to fire at his opponent. The energy
inflicts 3D6 MD when first selected, +1D6 per level thereafter. It can also
be charged -- every additional melee action after the first that the
character spends 'charging' his distance weapon adds 1D6 MD to its damage
capacity. (Examples: just about every character in a fighting game has some
sort of 'fire-ball' attack).

* Entrapping Missle - Like the Distance Strike, except that this
attack will entangle and render its target helpless, unless he dodges it
(parrying is possible, but at a -5 penalty, because of the 'grabbiness' of
the attack). Damage can also be inflicted (the Warrior must decide if his
Missile does damage or not when he selects this power, and cannot change his
mind later), equalling 2D4 MD. (Examples: Xavier's Energy Dragon from
Eternal Champions, and Scorpion's Harpoon from Mortal Kombat).

* Groundstrike - The character can either physically strike or fire
energy into the ground under himself, cause a shockwave that ripples through
the ground in all directions. The range of the shockwave is equal to the
character's level in feet. Anyone within that area who does not successfully
dodge (by leaping up when the wave passes) takes 1D4 MD and must roll over
the striker's level on a 20-sided die (only PP bonuses apply to this roll),
or suffer the effects of a Knockdown (see Rifts Conversion Book One for
details). (Examples: Jax's Ground Punch from Mortal Kombat II, Slash's Club
Smash from Eternal Champions).

* Limb Extension - As the name implies, this ability allows the
character to extend his limbs beyond their normal limits, allowing long range
melee attacks. Limbs can extend 1 foot beyond normal when this ability is
first selected, plus one half foot for every level thereafter. Note:
tentacles also fall under this category. (Examples: Dhalsim's attacks from
Street Fighter II, Omega Red's Tenticles from X-Men: Children of the Atom).

* Multi-Strike - This attack form requires all of the character's
melee actions in one round, but allows him to strike repeatedly in a short
time period. Each strike inflicts 1D4 MD plus the character's normal damage
for a strike (SDC attacks, of course, add nothing). The opponent gets one
chance to dodge or parry. If he fails either, he may not defend against any
of the attacks. If he dodges, the entire flurry is wasted. If he parries,
half damage is inflicted for each succesful strike. The Martial Warrior must
roll to hit individually for each strike. (Examples: E. Honda's Hundred Hand
Slap and Blanka's Head Chomp from Street Fighter II, Barraka's Multiple Blade
Slash from Mortal Combat II).

* Offensive Shield - Like the Chi Shield, this ability requires that
the character remain stationary while it is in effect. It also has a maximum
duration, equal to twice the Warrior's level in seconds (remember that one
melee round is 15 seconds). Any opponent who comes in contact with the
shield is instantly repelled, and takes 3D4 MD (when selected, plus 1D4 MD
every level thereafter). (Examples: Blanka's Eel Shock from Street Fighter
II, Trident's Spinning Trident from Eternal Champions).

* Power Shield - A purely defensive ability, the Power Shield can be
set up and used in one melee action. It has a special rating all its own,
which begins at 1 when the ability is selected, and rises by one per level
thereafter. This rating equals the character's AR bonus. Also, five times
this number is the amount of MDC damage subtracted from any attack on the
character while he is shielded. However, the shield is only in place as long
as the character concentrates on it with minimal movement. (Examples: most
blocking maneuvers from any fighting game).

* Power Strike - Inflicts 3D6 MD (plus the charcter's normal strike
damage, if it is also MD) when selected, plus 1D6 MD more per level
thereafter. If the character chooses to spend all his actions on one Power
Strike, it automatically inflicts double damage. (Examples: Ryu's Dragon
Punch and Guile's Flash Kick from Street Fighter II).

* Reflection - With this ability, the Martial Warrior can reflect
projectiles (physical and energy) aimed at him. By making a succesful Parry
(with only half bonuses) and spending one melee action, the character blocks
and redirects the projectile; he should then make another attack roll on the
shooter (with NO strike bonuses) to see if the projectile hits him instead.
The attacker should roll the damage before the Warrior attempts to reflect,
because he can not reflect any projectile that would inflict more Mega-Damage
than half of the Warrior's Hit Points (regardless of whether the Warrior has
MDC or not) ie: An attacker fires a laser blast at a Martial Warrior. The
Warrior has 48 Hit Points. If the total MD of the blast is equal to or less
than 24, the Warrior can reflect it. Otherwise he cannot. (Examples:
Fulgore and Eyedol from Killer Instinct, Nightwolf from Mortal Kombat 3).

* Teleport - Although its range is limited to line-of-sight areas
within 100 feet, the Teleport ability is still a powerful weapon. It takes
only one melee action to accomplish (although it can be performed only once
every three actions), and if the Warrior uses it as a defensive maneuver, he
gains a +3 bonus to his dodge. Opponents surprised by a teleporting
character suffer a -2 to defend against his attack, while he gains a +2 to
strike. (Examples: Rayden and Scorpion's Teleports from Mortal Kombat,
Dhalsim's Yoga Teleport from Street Fighter II).

* Weapon Charge - This power is focused on one type of weapon only
(scimitars, hand axes, bows, etc). The Warrior can carge a standard
ancient-type weapon with Chi energy, allowing it to inflict double its normal
SDC damage as MDC. Weapons that already inflict MD have their damage
doubled. Bows do not need arrows -- these are creatd from pure Chi/PPE
energy. Any thrown weapons return to the Warrior's hand immediately after
attacking (requires no actions on the return). Two weapons can be charged --
one in each hand -- but only if the character is high enough in level to have
the 'paired weapons' talent. (Examples: Baraka's Blades and Kung Lao's
Bladed Hat from Mortal Kombat II).


Here's a new list of abilities: Mega-Power Abilities. One of these can be
selected every five levels (ie: select one at levels 5, 10, and 15):

* Finishing Move: Melee - Takes all actions in the melee round, and
the Warrior automatically has an initiative of 1 for the round (no bonuses).
The details are up to the player, but the attack itself inflicts 3D6x10 MD.

* Finishing Move: Missle - This power is identical to the Melee
Finishing Move, except that it is a missle of some sort, with a maximum range
of 20 feet.

* Transformation - With this ability, the Warrior can assume the form
_and abilities_ of any humanoid opponent of lesser level than his own, whom
he has previously battled. He loses all of his own abilities when he takes a
new form (except this one, of course) and the transformation last until the
Warrior is killed, knocked out, or until one full melee round passes.

And finally, here's a couple of clarifications/notes:

- a standard Power Strike requires two melee actions to perform
- all martial Warriors must select an individual combat style of their own --
this is what they train in with regards to normal combat maneuvers (ie:
Karate, Tai-Kwon-Do, Thai Kick Boxing, Kenpo, etc.). These style choices
really don't have much to do with game mechanics -- they're just for flavor
and visualization. If you really want to go overboard, you can bring the
Martial Arts skills from N&S into this, but that may make the characters a
bit too tough. It's up to you.

Mechanoid Converted Hunter Killer RCC

Instead of just killing Humanoid life forms, and due to their current
limited numbers, a diabolic Mecanoid Brain devised a genetic disease. The
disease is transmitted to a humanoid by an infected humanoid or by a
transfusion of blood. When a Hunter Killer traps or nearly kills a humanoid it
then spits from it's mouth a web like fabric that soon covers the entire body
of the victim. The victim is trapped within the cocoon for a week. If the
cocoon if destroyed before three to four days have passed the only side
affects for the victim will be rolling once on the random insanity table.
After the four day deadline the victim will die if removed early. Once the
full week has ended what emerges is no longer the person it once was. It is an
insane monster bent on destruction of all humanoids. Every two weeks it gets
an incredible urge to reproduced. This is when more of it's kind are created.
While in the cocoon the being is slowly being transformed. All of it's
previous abilities are kept. Be the magic, Psionics, or Super Powers. The
creature also gets incredible smell and hearing. It grows claws that can do
Mega-Damage, it becomes a Mega-Damage monster, and is programmed to obey all
new Mecanoid life forms.

Mind-Crusher RCC.

Related to Mind-Melters and Mind-Bleeders, the Mind-Crusher is a pychic
mutation that can occur in virtually any non-magical humanoid, although it
is most common in humans.

that other pychics do not possess, as well as some 'standard' psionics.

Psychic Powers: Select any 4 Mind-Crusher powers from below, as well as 2
each from Healing, Sensitive and Physical, and 1 Super power.
At every level they gain 1 additional power from healing, sensitive or
physical. At every 3rd level they gain an additionl Mind-Crusher power.
At every 5th level they gain an additional Super power.
I.S.P.: M.E. x 2 + 4d6. Add 2d6 per level of experience.

Attributes: M.E. 12 or higher. A high P.S. and I.Q. are helpful but not
required.
Alignment: Any, but typically Anarchist.
Skills:
Select any 6 skills from Domestic, Physical, Weapon Pro's and Wilderness.

Standard Equipment: Suit of light body armour, energy rifle of choice, two
melee weapons of choice, several sets of clothing, sleeping bag, compass,
back pack, sunglasses or tinted goggles, air filter or gas mask, food
rations for a week and personal items.

Mind-Crusher Powers
------------------
Mind Ram
Range: Touch
Duration: 1d6 melees
I.S.P.: 10
Saving Throw: Standard, with a -4 penalty
A simple attempt to break down a Mind-Block. An opponent must be touched,
but if this is successful they then must roll a saving throw ( -4, so a 14
or higher for master pychics ) and if this is failed the Mind-Block is then
considered down for 1d6 melees. The Mind-Crusher will know if his/her attack
worked but others will not unless they use psionic powers.

Mental Crush
Range: Touch
Duration: 1d6 hours
I.S.P.: 25
Saving Throw: Standard
A powerful and useful power, the Mental Crush reduces the victim to a
vegatable-like state. They will stand-still and cry if attacked, and can use
no skills.
Dodge is possible, but with a -5 penalty. Juicers, Crazies, Cyber-Knights
and Mutants get a +4 bonus to their save, and Borgs, Robots and supernatural
creatures are immune.

Nega-Static
Range: 50 feet
Duration: 1 melee
I.S.P.: 10 per melee
Saving Throw: Standard
The psychic creates an area of static. No psychic powers with a range will
work; a Psychic must touch a subject to use the power and even then a save
must be made or the power will not work. If a Psychic attempts to use a
power and fails he/she still loses half the base I.S.P. cost.
Mind-Block Auto-Defense, and any other powers that affect only the person
using them are not effected.

Mind-Barrier
Range: 10 feet long wall
Duration: 1d6 melees
I.S.P.: 10
Saving Throw: None
The psychic creates a wall of psychic interference. No psionic power can
cross the barrier, however it is easily detectable to all psychics.
Magical detection can cross the barrier, but the range is halved and any
tracking ability is -20%.

Mind-Fire
Range: 30 feet
Duration: 2 Melees
I.S.P.: 8
Saving Throw: Standard
A victim of this power feels incredible agony and pain, but only in his
mind, their is no physical damage. Reduce attacks per melee by half, and is
-5 to strike, parry and dodge. Spellcasting, psionics and skills use are
impossible.

Phobia-Enhancement
Range: 60 feet
Duration: 2d6 days
I.S.P.: 12
Saving Throw: Standard
This power enhances any one mental trait of the victim. A typical use is on
a phobia, but it can also enhance any mental trait such as greed, vanity,
overconfidence, lecherousness, bad tempers, bloodlust, laziness, an
addiction, a desire, or a hatred. The victim must make a psionic save every
time he wishes to ignore this affliction. GM judgement, but make this
attribute a problem. This power only magnifies existing mental traits,
psychics choice of which one.

Phobia-Creation
Range: 20 feet
Duration: Permanent until removed
I.S.P.: 45
Saving Throw: Standard with -6 penalty
As above however this power is permanent, and does not require the victim to
have the trait initially. The psychic can instill any mental trait he wants
the victim to have. A successful use of Psychic Surgery and Psychic
Diagnosis will remove the Phobia.

Mind-Cracker
Range: 60 feet
Duration: Instantanious
I.S.P.: 8
Saving Throw: Standard
This power removes a Mind-Block but only for a split second. The psychic may
make 1 psionic attack on the victim before the Mind-Block is restored.
Other psychics may not try unless they are aware beforehand of the
Mind-Crushers attempt and can see both the victim and the Mind-Crusher.
This power can also work on Mind-Block Auto-Defense, however the I.S.P. cost
is doubled ( to 16 ).

Soul Destroyer
Range: Touch
Duration: Permanent
I.S.P.: 50, plus the Mind-Crusher loses 2 points off I.Q. and 1 off M.E.
permanently!
Saving Throw: Standard
Probably the most evil of the Mind-Crushers powers, the Soul Destroyer is
considered the depths of depravity by most honest psychics.
A victim literally has his/her soul destroyed. Reduced P.P.E. to 1d6, and the
victim loses any psionic or magical abilities he/she had. Also reduce I.Q.
to 2d6, M.A. to 2d6, and M.E. to 1d6.
This power will work on _minor_ supernatural beings, including dragons,
were-beasts, brodkil and gargoyles however the I.S.P. cost increases to 80
and the user loses 2 additional points or I.Q. and 2 off M.E.

Soul Sucker
Range: Touch
Duration: Permanent
I.S.P.: 30, plus the Mind-Crusher loses 1 point of I.Q.
Saving Throw: Standard
A less permanent version of the above. The person's "soul" is stored within
an inaminate object. While the soul is stored the person is treated as if it
had been destroyed, however the soul can only be trapped for 24 hours, or
until the item is destroyed whichever comes first. The Mind-Crusher can
extend the entrapment for another 24 hours by expending an additional 20
I.S.P. per day, however every day the soul gets a save ( standard ) to
attempt to escape.

Mogara RCC

The Mogara are an extremely brutal and warlike race that is driven to
conquer other species. To the Mogara, the only good way to die to die in
battle for the greater good of the Mogaraian Star Empire.
Having evolved into a matriarchal society, the females of the species
are the leaders of The Empire. As such, they make up the vast majority of all
The EmpireÕs officers. This works out well for The Empire as female Mogara
are superior both intellectually and physically, and not as mindlessly violent
and aggressive as male Mogara. The males of the species comprise the majority
of The EmpireÕs Mobil Infantry grunts.
At the summit of The Empire's hierarchy, the Queen. She has final say
in all matters pertaining to The Empire and her orders are fanatically
followed to the lettre with an almost religious zeal.
Mogaraian Mobile Infantry Detachments are composed of three squads of
nine male Mogara, with each squad being commanded by a female Mogara. In
addition to their advanced weaponry and savage cunning, the Mogara have the
ability to create personal force fields, making them immensely harder to kill.
These aliens are considered to be supernatural in nature.

Female Mogaraian
Alignment: Any, but tend toward anarchist and miscreant. All Mogara are
fanatically loyal to the Queen and The Mogaraian Star Empire.
Attributes: The number of dice rolled is as designated: I.Q.: 2D6+10, M.E.:
4D6+2, M.A.: 4D6, P.S.: 4D6+10, P.P.: 4D6+8, P.E.: 4D6+8, P.B.: 2D6, SPD.:
5D6.

Mok (also Motak) RCC

by Tony Figueroa
([e-mail])

These ancestors of the brutan are monstrous in appearance.
Covered in brown or tan fur, their incredibly strong muscles still
standout. They look less human than brutans in other ways as
well. Their head is adorned with a golden mane, and their face is
an almost featureless black save the sharp white teeth and eyes.
Moks, sometimes called motaks, are animalistic and savage,
yet most are gentle creatures when unprovoked. Attributed to
their primitive minds is their fear of bodies of water. They can
learn to swim although it is uncommon. Technology is another area
they don't do well in. It confuses and frustrates them, and when
frustrated, moks tend to react violently. They've been known to
tear vehicles apart while trying to learn to drive them.
Other disadvantages they have are a susceptibility to cold
and a mistrust of magic. Their weakness to cold isn't lethal
enough to merit taking extra damage from cold/ice attacks, but
they do suffer more pain from it.
In combat, moks prefer their fists or claws to weapons
although they aren't adverse to throwing things. They can hurl
rocks incredibly fast or can toss an automobile atop their enemy.
Languages are also a problem for them. They are only capable
of making roaring and guttural growling. The mok language is very
basic. They are capable of understanding more advanced language
though, and others can learn their language as it is very simple
although loud.

These moks were accepted by a Pool of Power during one of the
most famous mok rituals performed by their tribes in the Gemineye
Woods. To be chosen by a Pool is a great honor to them, and the
Chosen Ones recieve much prestige.

Morian's Gargoyles RCC

The hermited immortal wizard Morian lives in a pocket dimension created for
him by a semi-powerful being named Twinsen. Although Morian has near complete
control of his (Rhode Island sized) dimension, he still insisted in recruiting
protection. Though he was deeply rooted in magic, Morian turned to his
extensive knowledge of genetics to create guardians for his
fortress/dimension/home. Morian was inspired by the image of the mythic
Gargoyle, and immediately began his work. What Morian created was the best
he could hope for. The winged, human-faced Gargoyles had unbreakable loyalty
as well as honed instincts and human intelligence. After many years of
tinkering, Morian had completed his genetic model. Morian has personally
created around 200 non-procreating Gargoyles since his final revisions,
each bearing deep nobility, and a sense of guardianship.

Appearance : Although the Gargoyles range greatly in size and
appearance, they have many common features. All are either gray (90%),
red (5%), blue (3%), or black (2%) skinned. All have pupil-less eyes of
various shapes. Due to a genetic (fluke?) their eyes glow when they are
passionate or enraged. All have giant, batlike wings which are only strong
enough for gliding. The wings are flexible enough to be wrapped around the
body as a cloak when not in use. All have thick tails, mainly to balance and
steer in flight. The tail is not prehensile but is strong as the legs and can
be used to hit enemies (or sweep). All except very few (flawed?) have all-
black or all-white hair, usually long and straight. All have particularly
strong legs which have long, three toed feet. The foot has an opposable claw
on the heel; because of this, the Gargoyle stands kind of on the balls of its
feet, forcing it to bend its legs. The hands are three fingered plus a human-
like opposable thumb. The claws (hand and foot) are hard and sharp, enough to
climb with. Many Gargoyles also have a build and face which looks as if it has
been hewn from stone, a genetically predisposed trait. Morian's abilities
allowed him to guide the appearance of the Gargoyles to elven-equivalent
handsomeness/beauty.
Alignment : Alignments range from principled to diabolic, but all are
loyal to Morian (genetically presupposed). Any found to be
not loyal are immediately (honorably) exiled to a random
dimension
(like Rifts or Nexus or Phase World).
Attributes : IQ 2D6+2 PP 16+2D6 (all attributes considered
ME 3D6+1 PE 18+2D4 supernatural, incl. PS)
MA 2D6+2 PB 4D6+5
PS 20+3D6 Spd 5D6+5 running
Mega-Damage (In MDC worlds) : 1D4x100 + 1D6x10
SDC (In SDC worlds) : exactly same as MDC
Hit Points (all worlds) : 1D6x10+40
Natural AR (In SDC worlds) : 8 (strikes below 8 do no damage)
Horror Factor : 3 (not very menacing if they don't want to be,
actually handsome to most humans).
8 (when enraged and not on your side).
PPE : 0 (Untraceable by PPE, fruitless to Psi-Stalkers and PPE
Vampires see Note)
ISP : 0 (Same as PPE, it's because PPE doesn't exist in his dimension
where he creates them)
Psionics : None, can't learn.
Magic : None, can't learn, but can use enchanted weapons.
Height : 6' - 20' (Gargoyles above 8' are quite rare, though)
Wingspan : 10' - 25'
Weight : 600' - 3000' lbs.
Sex : Females are rare but existent, and usually very beautiful. All
Gargoyles are sterile (no equipment) and personally created by
Morian. They are "born" at 1/2 full size from eggs (they are
warm-blooded, though). Females look definitively female, and
are usually slightly smaller than their male brethren. The
males usually raise male young and the females, female young.
(all young are created by Morian, though)
Attacks : 3 + hand to hand + other bonuses
Damage : See supernatural PS chart (page 22 Rifts Conv. Book)
Bonuses : +2 initiative, +1 strike, +2 parry/dodge, +3 dodge in
flight,
+6 vs. HF, +4 vs. all magic.
Life Span : 1000 - 2000 years natural life (don't age much
biologically,
though)
Natural Abilities :
Winged flight (gliding). Speed depends on environment and
weather. Can dive pretty fast.
Perfect night vision, can see 1' tall object at 1.5 miles.
Can see easily in zero light conditions.
Natural heat vision. The Gargoyles have uniquely engineered
sight. Their vision is selective, controlled by a
specialized area of the brain. If the Gargoyle can
see something normally, it will appear normal. If
the Gargoyle can't see the object but can see the
heat, that is what he/she will see. The Gargoyle
can see in different modes simultaneously.
Leap 40' (50' with run), or 120' (wings, 200' with run).
Thick, agile tail; not prehensile, but can be used in
combat. Various lengths.
Does not breathe, does not sleep, does not eat (see Night
Shift). Regenerates at 20 MDC per hour.
Also see random abilities.

Detect Ambush +10%
Detect Concealment +10%
Prowl +15%
1 Ancient WP (plus paired if applicable)
Intelligence +10%
10 Secondary skills +5%
Hand to Hand : Any but Assassin
Night Shift : Due to some genetic imbalance or flaw, all Gargoyles can
only function during night-time (however long that is). It doesn't matter to
Morian because day in his dimension is 4 hours. At dawn, the Gargoyle turns
to indestructible stone. In this stasis, the Gargoyle regenerates completely,
and regains energy needed to survive. Even during the four hour day, Morian's
Gargoyles regenerate completely. This is why Gargoyles need no sleep, food,
or oxygen. They are a truly strange creature, since they are not magical by
Palladium's standards. It is a natural, genetically determined attribute.
Morian sees this attribute as both advantage and disadvantage, and will not
tamper with it. All Gargoyles must seek an inconspicuous hiding place or
habitat near dawn. The Gargoyles are bred (by genetics and common sense)
not to get caught out in the open at dawn. Many find shelter upon Gothic
buildings in cities or in deep caves away from civilization. Incidentally,
two hours is the minimum time a Gargoyle needs to regenerate. Even though
they are indestructible when stone, they can be picked up and moved (while in
stone they retain their normal weight), and placed into a trap, or set for
ambush.

Random Abilities : Due to slight variation in genetic traits and
reactions, some Gargoyles have particular strengths/weaknesses/differences.
Roll on the first table, then the second.
Number of rolls on second table :
01-60 One
61-90 Two
91-99 Three
00 Four
Random Abilities:

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Random Abilities:

00-10 Awareness - A combination of instinctive senses which
allow the Gargoyle to be aware of any movement within
their radius. A lot like Zanshin. Radius begins at
4' and increases by 2' per level. Cannot be surprised
from behind. By judging the movements of an attacker
before they attack (done automatically), the Gargoyle
can dodge without penalty if being attacked from
behind. Adds +3 to initiative.
11-22 Berserker Disposition - Gargoyle has an extra set of
adrenal glands which are triggered only when the
Gargoyle is beyond anger. The eyes will brighten
noticeably, a warning to all opponents. Temporarily
adds 4 to PS, 2 to PP (not likely to dodge much,
though), 8 to PE, 10 to Spd. The rage usually lasts
10+2D6 minutes or until Gargoyle is sufficiently
restrained and calmed, or all enemies are bloody pulp.
After any rage (more than 4 minutes), the Gargoyle
will be noticeably fatigued, and will not function as
well until the next day. This fatigue is not extreme,
just enough to take 1 or 2 from the occasional bonus.
23-28 Speed Burst - Adds 2D6+10 to Spd for bursts of 2 to 3
minutes. +2 dodge while "bursting."
29-34 Enhanced Wings - Can now fly (not glide) at Spd
1D6x10+10, faster if diving.
35-41 Enhanced Physical Attribute - roll 1D6 : 1 - PS; 2 - PP;
3 - PE; 4 - Spd; 5-6 - PB. Then roll 1D4+4 and add
it to that attribute.
42-47 Enhanced Mental Attribute - roll 1D4 : 1-2 - IQ; 3 - ME;
4 - MA. Then roll 2D6+4 and add it to that
attribute.
48-54 Enhanced Horror Factor - Exudes an aura of intimidation
and awe, always HF 12
55-63 Weird Hair Color (player choice).
64-71 Weird Eye Color (player choice). Many Gargoyles with
this have eyes which change color to suit their mood.
It is instinctive and cannot be controlled unless the
emotion can be controlled. The eyes increasingly glow
according to how angry/passionate they are as well.
72-78 Weird Skin Color (player choice).
79-86 Elbow Spike - A short, thick, spike which sticks out of
the elbow. Add 1D6 dice to normal punch damage if
elbow is used (can't be used with power punch).
87-90 Knee Spike - Same as Elbow spike, adds 1D8 dice to kick
damage if knee is used (can't be used w/ power kick).
91-94 Ambidextrous - All Gargoyles are _supposed_ to have
this, but apparently it didn't work as expected.
Means they can use both hands equally skillfully and
without penalty.
95-00 Spectrum Eyes - Can see into ultraviolet and infrared in
addition to heat. The Gargoyle always sees
ultraviolet and infrared. Eyes will appear to
chaotically change colors. The extra abilities of
infrared and ultraviolet tie into his natural vision
like the heat vision does.

Note : Gargoyles will have an unpredictable reaction to a vampire's
bite. Some will become a vampire/Gargoyle hybrid, others will die
immediately, others will be unaffected. There are three known hybrids in
Rifts America, all very dangerous and lethal.

Second Note : Morian's Gargoyles are intended as player characters.
If the Gargoyle wishes to go out and explore, Morian will usually oblige and
provide him/her with the essentials, on the condition that the Gargoyle return
to service for at least the last 100 years or so before the end of his natural
life span. Morian, though he is a hermit, has plenty of contacts in the
outside world and likes to keep tabs on his prodigies. A few of his Gargoyles
were sent away because they were early creations not yet up to standard.
Others were less than his standards of loyalty and/or ability and were
honorably sent away. Morian can easily open a Rift/Portal to send a Gargoyle
to nearly any known world he approves of.

Adventurers : All player characters will be the ones which request to
leave and are obliged by Morian. Most of the time the Gargoyle will be sent
to Rifts earth (easiest portal to make). Morian will give the Gargoyle 2000
credits (cash? ) ; a cloak, cape, or coat ; a backpack ; 20' heavy rope ; one
or a pair of ancient weapons according to their WP, and an energy weapon of
choice (within reason) if they know how to use it. Gargoyles also usually
have a small collection of personal items by the time they leave, and Morian
always gives each Gargoyle a unique keepsake to identify them by. Morian will
also lecture them at length on the attributes of the world he/she is about to
enter, and many stern warnings not to get caught out at dawn.

Third Note : Gargoyles have no PPE or ISP in Palladium terms. If a
Psi-Stalker, PPE-Vampire, or ISP Vampire tries to take the nonexistent energy,
it will result in a disorientating backlash to the drainer (because of their
strange nature). The Gargoyle will then be immediately aware of the attempt.
It is because of the uniqueness of the dimension (Morian's world) they were
born
in.

MYSTIC KNIGHT O.C.C.


The Mystic Knight was an order created by a group of Prometheans, Cosmo-
Knights, and powerful spell casters of good alignment and intentions as a
force
to defend the megaverse against any and all threats. Men and women of all
races were asked to join this force of light in an otherwise dark universe.
The Mystic Knight is the product of these beings, a creation which has access
to magic, psychic powers, and even phase powers, while also being highly
trained in physical combat. While the Knights have access to a wide range of
powers, they are the masters of none, except for perhaps there ability to
utilize all of their powers for the most effect. The training the the Knights
receive from many supernatural beings has allowed them to accomplish amazing
physical feats, although many believe that magic and psionics are used to
enhance their normal physical abilities.

While not all members of the order are Mystic Knights, the majority are.
Those beings that are not Mystic Knights are usually powerful beings in their
own right. Very few Mystic Knights turn to evil. All those that do are
hunted down and slain. The few evil Knights that exist are vastly powerful,
able to repel or avoid all attempts by the order to destroy them.

All races are welcome to join the order, but the requirements are harsh. The
requirements include being at least a latent psychic or mystic, high physical
and mental attributes, and above all, a dedication to the forces of goodness.
Each candidate is probed by an unknown means, and all attempts to
deceive the scan have failed (many believe a supernatural power or god of
goodness supports the order).

Attribute Requirements: Minimum P.S. and P.E. of 13, P.P. and M.E. of 14,
and I.Q. of 12. Also, see bonuses below.
Typical Alignments: Principled and Scrupulous are most common, although many
Knights are Unprincipled.
O.C.C. Abilities and Bonuses:
1. Attribute Bonuses: +2 to P.S., P.E. and Spd. +1d6 to P.P. and
+1d4x10 S.D.C. (or +4d6 M.D.C. if M.D.C. race). These bonuses are
in addition to those gained through physical training and those
based on race.
2. Combat Bonuses: +1 to initiative, +5 to parry and dodge, +1 to
strike. All bonuses are in addition to attribute and skill bonuses.
3. Resistance Bonuses: +3 to save vs. magic and psionic attacks, +1
to save vs. poisons and toxins.
4. Magic: Choose 8 spells from levels 1-6 or any Temporal Magic spell.
Add two spells at levels 2, 4, and six. At levels 7, 9, 12, 14, and
15 add one new spell from any level (subject to G.M. aproval).
P.P.E.: 2d4x10+P.E.+10 per level after first.
5. Psionics: Choose 5 powers from sensitive, physical, or healing plus
two super-psionic powers or phase powers! (Excluding psi-sword and
close rifts which are not available to level four.) Add 1 power of
any type at level 4, 7, 9, and 12. I.S.P.: 1d6x10+10+M.E.+8 per
level after first.
6. Supernatural Physical Feats: The Mystic Knights uses a unique
psionic ability and physical training to accomplish amazing
physical feats. The Knight can leap their P.P. attribute in feet
from a standing position. Add 15 feet up or 30 feet accross with a
running start. The Knight can also parry energy and rail gun blasts
with a sword (must be able to withstand the damage). There is no
penalty when the knight attempts to parry long range attacks, but
he only gains half of his normal bonus to parry. Mystic knights are
so talented at this that they can even parry energy bursts, but must
roll to parry each blast, maximum 8 blasts per burst. At third level
the knight can parry energy blasts with his hands (but not rail
guns). This requires 5 I.S.P. per attack parried (a single blast or
a burst of up to 8 blasts is one attack).
O.C.C. Skills:
Two Languages of choice (+15%)
Radio: Basic (+10%)
Acrobatics or Gymnastics (pick one) (+5%)
Pilot: pick two (except robot) (+10%)
W.P.: Sword
W.P.: pick two
Hand to Hand: Martial Arts or Assassin (pick one)
O.C.C. Related Skills: Select 12 other skills. Plus select one additional
skill at levels three, six, ten, and twelve. All new skills start at
level one proficiency.
Communications: Any (+5%)
Domestic: Any.
Electrical: Basic electronics only.
Espionage: Any (+10%)
Mechanical: Basic and automobile only (+5%)
Medical: First aid or paramedic only.
Military: Any.
Physical: Any.
Pilot: Any except robot (+10%)
Pilot Related: Any (+5%)
Rogue: Any.
Science: Math only (+5%)
Technical: Any.
W.P.: Any.
Wilderness: Any.
Secondary Skills: The character also gets to select five secondary skills.
These are additional areas of knowledge that do not get the advantage
of the bonus listed in parentheses. All secondary skills start at the
base skill level. Also, skills are limited (any, only, none) as
previously indicated in the list.
Standard Equipment: Mega-damage body armour (any type) including magic armour
(at the G.M.'s option), a mega-damage sword(s) (Laser/energy and magic
are most common, but vibro, phase, and mega-damage alloy swords are
also used. A lesser rune sword or simple holy weapon may also be used
at the G.M.'s option. Tattoo magic swords are popular now amongst
human and atlantean knights.), an assortment of weapons depending on
weapon skills (psi-weapons and techno-wizardry are common). Air
filter
and gas mask, mini-oxygen tank (15 minutes of air), laser distancer,
binoculars and/or assorted optic systems, cross/holy symbol, and
additional personal equipment of choice (within reason). Also has
extra ammo/e-clips for weapons.
Traditional Garb: A set of robes worn over mega-damage body armour, usually
black, brown, or white. Robes usually include a hood and several
hidden pockets. Most common armour is a mega-damage chain and plate
suit, often magical in nature. Personal force/phase fields are also
common (often techno-wizard modified).
Money: Usually donates most of their money to the order, but can develop a
considerable amount while plundering the forces of evil. Receives
most equipment and needs from the order, but has 2d4x1000 in personal
funds.
Cybernetics & Bionics: Varies based on race, but will never consider for
anything less than medical reasons because it interferes with magic
and psionics.

NOTE: Uses the same experience as the Temporal Raider.

MYSTIC WILLOW RCC

Author Unknown

The Mystic Willow is the layman's term for a tree of immense
magical power. Many theories exist about the origin of the tree,
the most common being that the tree is the physical manifestation
of a creature existing past the Astral Plane, or that it is
another supernatural being. There are also local myths about the
origin of Mystic Willows (ie, a town may think a person was once
so sad, they turned into a magical tree). It is important to note
that Mystic Willows are created good, with all intent to make
people happy, but, if they are around one being for a long period
of time, the Mystic Willow will take on that being's personality.
If someone who delights in pain lives near a Mystic Willow, the
Willow too will delight in pain.
The Mystic Willow looks like a giant shell of golden needles,
some big, some small, from the outside. If the Willow doesn't
like someone, it's quills become energized with a type of static
electricity, which draws them toward the person, even when the
quills aren't shot out. This is usually used as a warning of when
the tree is nervous, and is not necessarily a hostile act. This
always happens toward supernatural creatures, good or bad, and
prevents them from touching the tree. If the tree approves of a
person, it's branches will part, like curtains, and the person can
enter the Mystic Willows. Inside the Willow's curtain of needles
is an open area with a carpet of green moss, a web of light brown
branches overhead, and a shimmering silver trunk, about 5 feet in
diameter.
The Tree needs a PPE rich environment (Earth's normal
environment is enough), some sun, and a lot of water. They are
usually found up north, near a lake in Minnesota. Though they
could live south of Ohio, they have not been found there.

Height: 20' tall + 1'/10 years (above ground)
Radius: 12' branch radius + 1'/10 years
Alignment: Normally Good
IQ: About 5 + 1/20 years
MDC: Trunk: 3d6 * 10 + 10/10 years
Branch: 3d6 + 2/10 years
Leaf: 1
Awe Factor: 15
PPE: 6d6 * 10 + 50 / 10 years
Natural Abilities: Has 2 types of leaves - QUILLS: 3" needles
covered with a wet, slippery oil. Naturally attracted to
Supernatural creatures and anyone the tree wants to attack (SEE
ABOVE). The quills can be shot out 40 feet, as many as 20 per
action, they have +2 to hit against Supernatural creatures, and
act as wood against Vampires and similar creatures, doing 1d6 MDC
each.
Fruit: 1 foot by 1 inch Bananas, that's it, just normal bananas
OK? Not Supernatural or nuthin' Just like any other Bananas OK?
Moss: The carpet of moss under the tree is actually part of the
tree. It can be squeezed for water (Moss-water, mm-mm good), and
releases a low altitude gas that acts as the psychic power Induce

Gifts

Gifts are what the Mystic Willow gives to people who have helped
it a great deal, or it likes for some other reason. They are
difficult to make, and the tree must go dormant for a few days,
and can only make 1 gift at a time. The user of a gift need not be
Psychic or Man of Magic. All abilities go by the user's
abilities. They use the user's ISP or PPE, and level to determine
their power. All items have 10 MDC for every day of the tree's
dormancy, unless otherwise noted. They can regenerate within 24
hours, if they have any MDC left.

Quill Ring: This is a simple thin wood branch twisted into a
ring. With it comes 4 quills. The ring gives telekinetic control
over the quills, as Super Telekinesis. One quill per level can be
manipulated, using the wearer's ISP. Dormancy: 1 day

Friendship Amulet: This is the most basic gift. It is a wood
knot that is recognizable to all Mystic Willows, and anyone with
Mystic Herbology. The Willows will treat the wearer as a friend.
The wearer also has a kinship with animals (like a Psi-Stalker)
and Empathy. Dormancy: 1 hour

Cudgel: This is a wooden club, given to great defenders of a
tree. It can become a Psi-Cudgel (Psi-Sword), and lets the user
cast Armor of Ithan. Dormancy: 2d4 days.

Moss Sandal: The moss can either form a shoe, or cover an
existing shoe. It gives the wearer +20% prowl, and +5 speed while
worn. Dormancy: 1 day

Needle Cloak: This is a cloak made of the tree's quill, over a
moss base. It gives the wearer Chameleon, Armor of Ithan,
Charismatic Aura, +1d6 PB, and acts as a Quill Ring with 100
Quills. NOTE: It is too big and clumsy to be used as a shield, it
only blocks attacks from the back. Dormancy: 2d6 days

Dress of the Thief: This is not necessarily a dress, but armor
or clothes covered in Moss. This gives FREE Chameleon, and Create
Chloroform (quick evaporating sleep liquid used in movies, save:
Non-Lethal Drug 16), and gives the wearer the ability to use:
Simple Invisibility, Mind Block, Globe of Silence (4' radius),
Armor of Ithan, Empathy. The Moss only has 20 MDC, which is added
to all armor, but it can regenerate in one hour. Dormancy: 3d6
days

Knowledge Staff: This gift is normally given by old trees to
mages and scholars. It is a 6 foot, gnarled, knotted staff. It
can be used as a symbiotic bank. It will form a psychic bond with
whoever it was made for, and that person need only touch it to put
in or take out PPE and information. The most PPE the staff can
hold is half the tree's PPE, and can NOT regenerate PPE. The user
can store one spell per 10 years of the tree in the staff by
spending the PPE needed for the spell, and then can cast that
spell in half the time. This spell can be used as long as the
user has enough PPE, or until the user erases the spell from the
staff to download another spell into the staff. Only spells, not
Rituals can be put into the Staff. Dormancy: 2d6 days.

There are rumors of other gifts, so use your imagination. One
rumor especially is that of a Supernatural Creature with silver
skin somehow linked to the trees. These creatures appear as every
type of DB, only with silver skin, and are great travelers of the
dimensions.

NEXIAN R.C.C.

The Nexians are a race of energy beings that seem to be composed of pure and
raw magic energy (hence their name refers to Nexus points). In their true
form
they appear as an amorphous blob of crackling energy, or they often shape
themselves into a humanoid shape. Nexians can also assume a solid humanoid
form in which to better interact with other beings. They can not assume just
any humanoid shape, for even as humanoids they have a unique appearance. In
their solid form, the nexian appears to be almost human except that they have
a
blue tinge to their skins, they generally stand six to nine feet tall, their
eyes glow a brilliant blue (they appear to remain spheres of energy), and they
occationally have energy ripple across their bodies. The nexians do have
different sexes, and they can be told apart like normal humanoids while in
their solid forms. When in solid form, everything on the Nexian, including
the
beings themselves, radiate magic. This is because all of the possessions of
the Nexians are either created out of magic energy (their clothes) or are
magic/techno-wizard items. The Nexians can only transform magic items into
energy form with them, they may not take mundane objects with them. While
some Nexians may have some non-magic items, most will not as they like being
able to change back to energy form at any time, and hate leaving anything
behind.

Many would think that being beings of pure magic energy, that the Nexians
would
be able to accomplish anything that a normal spell could accomplish. While
this is true to an extent, it is not totally true. Nexians can manipulate
magic to accomplish the same things that a spellcaster could, they are limited
in similiar ways as normal spellcasters. Nexians need to learn or figure out
how to manipulate the energy around them and within them to accomplish the
desired effects. This means that they have to basically learn like everyone
else, they can't just do it. Nexians begin with many, but not a huge amount
of spells. As Nexians advance, they learn to manipulate energy in new ways,
and hence gain more spells. They may not learn spells from normal
spellcasters
as their magic is performed on a more basic level, and they can not learn them
form other Nexian, as each Nexian is unique.

Nexians often go amoungst societies that do not recognize them as alien
spellcasters or even as other humanoids if they have learned some magic to
change their shape. Almost nothing is known about Nexian society including
where they came from. It is a common theory that they either came from a
dimension of tremendous magic energy (a thousand times that of rifts earth),
but with very little rifts activity (the reason it has not been discovered).
Another theory is that Nexians are born when a very powerful rift opens
(this would explain their control over Nexus points and rifts).


R.C.C. Powers and Abilities

1. Automatically sense the opening, closing, and location of all dimensional
rifts within 50 miles + 10 miles per level of experience.

2. Automatically senses the opening and closing of dimensional rifts,
envelopes, pockets, mystic portals, dimensional teleportation, and
magical time/space anomalies, holes, and portals within one mile
plus one mile every two levels (+1 at 3, 5, 7, etc.).

3. Can see/sense dimensional envelopes, pockets, astral travelers, the
invisible energy essence of alien intelligences and entities, and
beings under the effect of magic within the range of sight or
500 feet if not in the line of sight.

4. Ley Line Phasing. Same as a Line Walker, but unlimited in number of times.

5. Fire blasts of raw magic energy from the hands or eyes (anywhere when in
energy form). Light blasts cause 3d6 S.D.C., 1d4, 1d6, or 2d6 M.D.
points of damage (can be regulated by the Nexian). Heavy blasts
do 3d6, 5d6, or 1d4x10 M.D. damage. Range is 1000 feet for light
blasts or 500 feet for heavy blasts (200 feet for 1d4x10 M.D.).
One heavy blast or two light blasts can be fired per melee attack.

6. Can absorb energy at nexus points and from ley lines. Energy causes
the nexian to regenerate 2d6 M.D.C. per melee round on ley lines or
1d4x10 M.D.C. per melee at nexus points. If completely healed, then
P.P.E. will regenerate at 15 P.P.E. every 10 minutes on ley lines
or 5 P.P.E per melee round at nexus points! They can also tap
double the amount of P.P.E. than normal practitioners of magic.

7. Nexians can control ley line nexus points! Like some alien intelligences,
when a Nexian is on a Nexus point, they can control the amount of
energy available by chanelling the energy through their bodies. This
means that they can prevent all other beings from tapping the energy
from that nexus point, and can also prevent rifts from opening at the
nexus point. They can also create rifts at nexus points to any
dimension known to them, or randomly. Chance to control a minor
nexus point is 100% unless controlled by another being. To control
a minor nexus point controlled by another being, or a super nexus,
requires a roll of 50%+3% per level. If a super nexus is controlled
by another being, it requires a roll of 25+3% per level to take
control. (Note: If it was a nexian previously in control, they can
try the same thing and retake control.)

8. Other abilities: Can see in all spectrums of light and radiation
(including
thermal radiation). Nightvision (1000 feet). Do not require food or
sleep (gather magic energy from around themselves). Doesn't breathe
air. Energy attacks inflict half damage when in energy form, 75% when
solid. Kinetic attacks do no damage in energy form, full damage in
solid form. Magic attacks can be absorbed! On a successful parry
against a magic attack, Nexians heal 1d6 M.D. If the Nexian fails
to parry, they suffer half damage (applies to all magic attacks even
if the Nexian is not aware of the attack). Can fly when in energy
form
and pass through most solid structures. Cannot pass through force
fields, phase fields, or magic barriers. Also cannot pass through
mega-damage sealed military vehicles (robots and PA included).
Regenerate 3d6 M.D. per minute. Cannot receive cybernetic or
bio-wizard implants, they are not compatible.


Nexian - Alien Energy Being

Alignment: Any, but unprincipled and anarchist are most common (they tend
to be rather thoughtless beings, with just a lust to explore).
Attributes: I.Q. 3d6, M.E. 4d6, M.A. 3d6, P.S. 3d6+10, P.P. 6d6,
P.E. 5d6, P.B. 3d6, Spd. 4d6 (200 mph +10/level in energy form)
(Physical skills only appropriate when in solid form, P.S. and P.E.
are considered supernatural)
Size: Six to nine feet tall in solid form, varies in energy form (One to
fifteen feet in diameter maximum, can change size at will).
Weight: 200-500 pounds when solid, weightless when in energy form.
M.D.C.: 100+P.E.x10+15 per level.
S.D.C./Hit Points: N/A.
Horror Factor: 12 when they reveal themselves as energy beings.
P.P.E.: 100+1d4x100+50 per level (250-550 at first level).
Average Life Span: 5 to 10 thousand years average.
Natural Abilities: See description of R.C.C. powers (above).
Psionic Powers: Mind Block Auto-Defense only.
Magic Powers: See description number __ under R.C.C. powers.
Choose 2 spells from each of the levels from 1-6, and one
spell from each of the levels 7-15 and two spells from any level
for each level of experience (including first). Most areas of magic
are available including normal spells, temporal magic, elemental,
biomancy, african witch spells (not at first level), necromancy (not
at first level), and magic chants/dances/ceremonies (same effect, but
don't require ceremonies or chants). The only magic not available is
wards, circles, and runes, and any other magic that requires physical
manifestations. (Note 1: Any normal spell that requires rituals such
as Summon and Control Canines, is cast without the physical
requirements. Protection circles creates an invisible barrier the
same size as which would normally be drawn. Note 2: While spells from
many areas are available, Nexians do not gain any of the special
abilities that belong to normal spellcasters.)
Combat: Typically five (5) hand to hand attacks per melee, or ten light
energy blasts, or five heavy energy blasts, or three(!) by magic. Add
one melee attack at levels five, ten, and fifteen.
Bonuses: +5 to save vs. magic (+1 at levels 3, 9, 15), +4 to strike in hand
to hand (+1 at levels 5, 9, 14), +6 to strike with energy blasts
(+1 at levels 4, 8, 12), +4 to parry and dodge, +2 to initiative
(+5 in energy form), +2 to save vs. psionics.
Vulnerabilities/Penalties: Nil.
R.C.C. Skills: Nexians have minimal training, they tend to rely on their
natural abilities. Select four languages (+20%), literate in two
languages (+10%), radio: basic (+10%), tracking (+5%), first aid
(+5%), prowl (+15%), two pilot skills (+10%), basic math (+5%),
streetwise (+10%), all lore skills (+5%/+25% if in regards to magic),
and two weapon proficiencies.
Secondary Skills: Select 8 skills from any category except electronics,
mechanical, medical, and physical. Plus select two at level four
and one at levels seven, eleven, and fourteen.
Alliances and Allies: None really, tend to be loners. When they do make
friends, they are very dedicated. Tend to prefer magical beings
and practitioners of magic.
Enemies: Evil supernatural beings love to enslave and/or destroy Nexians for
unknown reasons (especially the Splugorth).
Equipment: A magical and/or techno-wizard weapons (including lesser rune
weapons at the G.M.'s discretion), a set of light magic armour
(60-140 M.D.C.), and perhaps some minor magical/techno-wizard items.
The Nexian may have non-magical items, but they are generally not
carried unless they are hiding amongst normal humanoids (disguise) or
they have a place to put them if they want to change into energy form
(Dimensional Envelopes/Pockets are common).
Money: Nexians generally carry little money on them as it cannot change when
they go into their energy form, but they often have a stash of funds
with 3d6x100 credits. Those that can create dimensional pockets/
envelopes may also carry money that way. In addition they will
have 2d6x1000 credits in minor magical trinkets for use in trade.
Cybernetics and Bionics: Impossible! Mechanical implants are not possible in
an energy being. Even when in solid form implants are automatically
rejected and regenerated. Special Note: If a limb is cut or blown
off of a Nexian, it is instantly reformed from the energy of the rest
of the body, but the damage is only regenerated normally.

EXPERIENCE: Use the dragon's experience table.

Plague Monk OCC

The Plague monks are vile magic users, but most of their powers are based on
spreading disease and corruption through the world. The magical powers are
from the God of Pestilence, the Beezelbub, who sends a daemon who is in fact
an Avatar of himself to every Plagu Monk monastery. The Plague monks worship
this Avatar, feeding him large amounts of PPE through prayer and sacrafices.
In return, they are given spells woven to spread the joy of the plagues
through the planet. The image of the Plague monk is disturbing. From a
distance they seem to be robed Vatican monks but on closer inspection you see
that their robes are unwashed and foul, and around their girth they wear
totems of rotting goats' heads.

SECONDARY SKILLS: Select 3 at levels 2, 4, 7, 10, 13

STANDARD EQUIPMENT:
A single robe which can never be washed, a totem, usually a goat's head, a few
rusty and old weapons, two mordern weapons in bad repair and the Liber
Bubonicus, Book of Disease. The Staff of Rot and the Death's Head are given
to heroes (see below.)

WEAPONS:
Prefer ancient style weapons. Many are profficient with a blunt weapon. They
will use modern weapons as well without hesitaiton.

MAGIC:
The Plague Monk begins as an extremely powerful magic user. At first level
select a total 6 spells from levels 1-4. The Plague Monk also has his own
copy of Liber Bubonicus, the Book of the Disease. The acolyte is given an
edition of the Book, and use it when casting the foul magic of the Beezelbub.
They also make their own totem, with which they focus their magic. If they
are casting a spell without the totem, there is a chance that the magic might
turn on themselves ( 100 - xp level x 10)%. Above ninth level the plague monk
can cast spells without the totem, in which case the totem is used for another
purpose (see below). The spells in the Liber Bubonicus are different in that
when cast, it reflects on an aspect of disease. Eg A plague monk casts Agony
on an Inquisitor-Redeemer. The Inquisitor fails to save againest magic, and
his body breaks out in oozing boils. Then, the monk casts Strength on
himself, and a thousand maggots and worms surround his arms, as a sort of
exoskeleton:

Superhuman Strength
Superhuman Speed
Agony
Metaporphisis: Insect
Miasma of Pestilence (see below)
Stench of the Zl'bub (see below)
Steam of Corruption (see below)

Unlike the Hexon, the Plague Monk will not be able to cast these spells
without the Book, disregarding their xp level.

PSIONICS:
In addition to their magical powers they get 1 psionic abilities for each
category.

Additional Powers:

Plague Bearers: all plague monks carry a disease similar to the Bubonic
plague, but do not suffer the effects, but will try to spread it. The monk
must claw at his foe's skin to spread it in hand to hand combat. If he
strikes, the foe must ave againest poison. If he fails, all his attacks and
bonuses are halved, rolling down, as boils grow on his body. In 1D4 hours
he'll slip into a coma, with 0 health, and he'll stay in this state for 1D6
weeks. He will not die from this alone, but in his coma state he is
defenseless againest physical attacks and diseases. When he recovers there
may be some scarring and minor brain damage. Though clumsy, Plague Monks are
feared by most combatants because of this power. This works less efficently
with the supernatural. They simply suffer from sickness, all bonuses halved,
for 1D6 weeks.

Immune to disease: or rather, its effects. When a virus or disease invades
his body, the monk will be immune to its effects, but can spread it to others.

Spells of the Lord of the flies (Zl'bub magic): All plague monks are immune
to this magic.

Miasma of Pestilence: a cloud of filth floats 1 + xp level feet around the
caster. Anyone walking into the area feels diseased and sick. Half all
bonuses and attacks, rounding down.
Range: 1 + experience level feet
Duration: 10 minutes per level of xperience
P.P.E.: 15

Stench of the Zl'bub: Before engaging in hand to hand combat a plague monk may
cast this. When locked in hand to hand, the opponent must save againest
poison or lose all his attacks for that round, as he is coughing and up
chucking.
Range: within hand to hand distance
Duration: for first melee round only
P.P.E.: 15

Steam of Corruption: the plague monk breathes out a jet of pus and blood. The
victims must either dodge or save againest poison, otherwise, they choke on
the putrid mixture and fall into a coma. This is a wide steam, and has a + 5
to strike.
Range: 10 feet
Duration: Instant
P.P.E.: 40

Special weapons of the Plague Order: Some worthy acolytes are given gifts
from the daemon of Zl'bub at each monastery.

Staff of Rot: The staff is made from a rotting tree, and looks tumerous and
twisted. The head of the staff is shaped like a person suffering from the
bubonic pague, his mouth screaming in pain. The staff can cast all the spells
of the Zl'bub with half the P.P.E. cost, as it acts as a direct focus. It can
also be used for hand to hand combat. If it strikes an opponent on bare flesh
he sill suffer from the same penalty as the power Plaguebearer.

Death's Head of the Zl'bub: The head of a fallen plague monk is used as a
weapon of war in honour of the deceased. The skull is covered in wax and
blood (watertight seal) and is filled with the pus from the daemon of Zl'bub.
When thrown like a grenade, the Death's Head will explode and inflict 1D6 x 10
damage is a 100 feet radius. Also, all in the blast radius must roll to save
vs poison or suffer from the Plaguebearer power.

I'm working on other "gifts" of the Z'bub. If you email me I will give you
some other "gifts" and the stats for the obese daemons of Zl'bub. I am at
DChow888.aol.com.

ALLIANCES AND ALLIES:
Very few. The daemons of the Zl'bub use them. Even the Undead consider them
unhygenic. The Hexon don't want anything to do with them. They are not
related to the Darklord, but it seems that they know of each other, and may be
allies. Should the Horseman of Apocalypse known as Pestilence come upon the
daemons of Zl'bub they will become allies.

ENEMIES:
Many. Most people will fear the Plague Monk due to their great power and
they're reluctance to clean themselves. Their greatest enemy is the
Inquisitor-Redemers who see them as heretics.

DESCRIPTION:
The Plague monk is trained in one of the Monasteries of Disease, located in
Romania and central America. It is believed they started the Bubonic Plague,
and some scientists claim that they also started the HIV virus (aye?). There
monasterise are massive constructs of stone, covered by years of filth and
fungus. In the centre of each monastery is a giant hall, reserved for the
obese and slimy daemon of Zl'bub. Each one is a lesser version of the God of
disease, and act as a medium between the mortal pane and his realm. If you
want to see what I think the daemon looks like, see the Yucks (or Fat F*cks)
in Bullfrog's Dungeon Keeper.

PREDATOR: ALIEN RCC

This is the Predator as seen in both movies and countless comic books.
Self-described as "Hunters," these alien beings live their life for the
Hunt, where they prove themselves to be the best of the best. They hunt and
kill the most powerful creatures/people in an area until they are the
ultimate champions. They also follow an elaborate set of rules designed to
govern how they are to go about the Hunt, although there are Rogues, who are
deemed unworthy of participating in the Hunt and are killed on sight, without
honor. The Predators also fight amongst themselves for status in their clan.
Aside from that, Predator clans get along very well, as do their constituent
members (for the most part). They are effectively a military society whose
sole purpose in life is to hunt.

NOTE: These are NOT humans. they do NOT have human standards and have NO
regrets about killing ANYONE. Players and GMs should keep this in mind when
determining if they should be allowed - this type of antisocial character can
REALLY screw up a campaign (if played properly [grin]).

Alignment: 98% are Aberrant (they follow their Code of Honor and have little
else in the way of emotion), with the remaining being Unprincipled,
Anarchist, or Miscreant. Anarchists or Miscreants are ALWAYS Rogues.

IQ: 3D6, ME: 3D6+3, MA: 3D4, PS: 4D6+6, PP: 4D6, PE: 5D6, PB: 2D6-2 (Minimum
of 1. Note: All Predators appear male without inspection of the genital
area), Spd: 4D6

Requirements: IQ: 7, PS: 16, PE: 16 These are not natural necessities, but
reflect the fact that stupid or weak Predators die. Invariably.

Horror Factor: 10 unmasked
HP: 1D6 x 10 + PE
SDC: 1D6 x 50
ISP: None
Permanent Base PPE: 6D6 - Their Code of Honor is like a religion to them, and
has been passed on for generations. They are very attractive to PPE.
However, they can have NOTHING to do with magic - no techno-wizard devices,
etc. They rely on technology and themselves and dislike magic in the extreme
- it is not an honorable weapon. They do not get along with mages and will
kill them without hesitation if provoked in the least.

Average life span: 10 - 20 years
Natural life span: Anybody's guess. They invariably die before getting
there. They are fully mature at age 3, and extremely old Predators (80+)
show signs of weakening (-2 to all physical attributes except PB)
Height: 7' + 2D6"
Weight: 240lbs + 4D6lbs



Natural Abilities:
Thermal vision to 600'. Blinded for 1D4 melees if surprised by a heat source
as large or larger than a torch. However, this does give them the same
vision in the night as in the day. And no, coating oneself with mud does not
hide you. (Arnie got away the first time because he had been in freezing
cold water and was about the same temperature as the surrounding jungle. The
second time was just ridiculous.) Track by heat 90%, -10%/10 min (NOT
-1%/minute, you math geniuses out there... this is by design)

Heals 2D6 HP/SDC every hour.

Mimic Sounds/Speech: Predators instinctively understand ALL languages. They
can also perfectly mimic any sound they hear, and understand the meaning of
what they say. Their speech generally comes out in snippets, clips of
language from various people. (GM's note - you might want to make your PCs
write down language strips that they want to be able to say... hey, even
Predators can't remember everything...) Their proficiency in a given
language is related to the number of hours they have heard it spoken - 10%
per hour, max 60%. This refers to SPEAKING - they always UNDERSTAND at
_100%_ proficiency!

Hear a whisper up to 30' away.

Leap 15 feet across (25, if running) or 10 feet straight up.

Damage from Hand-to-Hand Attacks:
Restrained Punch: 1D6 (SDC)
Punch: 3D6
Kick: 4D6
Claw: 1D6
Bear Hug: 3D6
Flip/Throw: 2D6
Jump Kick: 1D6 x 10
(all also receive PS bonus)

Bonuses:
+1 attack
+3 Roll with Punch
+2 Parry/Dodge
+4 initiative
+40% Save vs. Coma/Death
+2 Save vs. Poison
+7 Save vs. Horror Factor
+3 Save vs. Insanity

life. They prefer to be crippled - battle scars show honor. If they cannot
fight, they die.

NOTE: All Predators (except Rogues) must follow the Code of Honor (described
below). To seriously break the Code is to become a Rogue.

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

PREDATOR: HUMAN OCC

Sometimes, if a humanoid proves worthy, a single Predator or a group
of them
will take the person under their wing, teaching them the ways of the Hunt.
The change in these people is remarkable; however, they are still only
human. They often DO feel regret for those they kill, and are never treated
as full members of Predator society, though one or two Predators will often
form a close bond with the individual. They are all formidable opponents,
and have earned the right to Hunt.

Alignment: Scrupulous, Any Selfish, or Aberrant. Most are Scrupulous or
Unprincipled.

Money: 1D4 x 100 credits

Cybernetics: None; if they ever receive ANY, they will be rejected from
Predator society. If they ever hunt again, they are fair game for other
Predators - they've gone Rogue.

NOTE: Must follow Predator's Code of Honor (see below)

PREDATOR'S CODE OF HONOR (does not apply to Rogues, and to severely break is
to become a Rogue)
-When fighting an honorable opponent, match the weapon as closely as possible
(no long-range weapons vs. melee weapons, nor vibro-blades vs. SDC swords,
etc.)
-Always take a trophy and keep it FOREVER! If it is lost or stolen, recovery
is IMPERATIVE TO KEEPING ONE'S HONOR!!
-Invisibility is not fair in Hand-to-Hand combat with an honorable opponent.
-In death, take your enemies with you.
-Never back down from an honorable challenge.
-Be submissive to greater warriors.
-Fight until death or victory.
-Equalize the odds by any means possible (this means that parties are not
protected by the Code - a Predator will pick them off, one by one, until one
remains)
-An honorable opponent is defined as one who obeys the Code, more or less.
In addition, MOST Predators will not kill opponents (honorable or not) who
are helpless or too easy a target (will not kill an unconscious victim, nor
an honorable opponent who is merely standing in the open, unawares).

NOTE: There are NO rules when it comes to actual COMBAT. They fight to win,
and will not hesitate to use dirty tricks or unsportsmanlike attacks (i.e. -
kneecap or groin)


PREDATOR HUNTING ARMOR
45 MDC, AR: 12
Wire mesh covers body, armor plates on both shoulders, forearms, shins,
thighs, as well as the groin area (5 MDC apiece). However, the mesh emits a
field which dissipates energy attacks. This provides an AR of 17 and 80 MDC
against Plasma, Ion, and Laser weapons, as well as vibro blades (which do
inflict SDC damage, if they roll between 12 and 17). The mesh's MDC
regenerates at a rate of 1D4 MDC per minute, recharging via a standard
20-year nuclear battery. The mesh itself is an SDC structure, and can take
30 SDC before tearing and reducing the amount of MDC output by half and
dropping the AR to 15. If it takes 80 SDC, it is basically destroyed.
However, it is EXTREMELY hard to hit - called shots are -8 to strike. There
is a chance that an attack accidentally hits it, as well - any roll of 24 or
higher (obviously modified), or any natural twenty does damage to the SDC of
the mesh. NOTE: The mesh does not protect the Predator from SDC damage -
all damage done to it is taken by the Predator as well. It DOES prevent MDC
damage.

The forearm portions of the armor (5 MDC ea.) contain various interesting
implements. In the right forearm are two claws. These can be extended and
used as a weapon to deal 2d6 x 10 SDC + PS bonus, or their vibro-component
can be activated, making them mega-damage weapons which deal 3D6 MD (total -
the two blades attack together, and cannot be used one at a time)

The left forearm contains the Predator's most deadly tool: The cloaking
device. When activated, it bends electromagnetic energy around the Predator,
effectively rendering it invisible. It can in fact be seen, as it has a
shimmering outline - Detect Concealment has a -50% penalty if it is not
moving, and a -25% penalty if moving. If the character does not have Detect
Concealment, their base percentage to spot a MOVING Predator is equal to
their IQ divided by two. See the Invisible has NO EFFECT. In addition,
Lasers do NO damage - the light is bent around the Predator to reform on the
other side, continuing on to hit whatever is behind it. Ion and Particle
beam weapons do 1/2 damage, but all attackers are -8 to strike. Invisible
Predators have Prowl values of 95%. Fortunately, there are limitations - it
can only be active for 1 hour before it must recharge - recharging takes a
time equal to the amount of time it was active. However, it is constantly
recharging, so it can be used briefly for long periods of time (30 minutes an
hour indefinitely).

Lastly, on the left forearm there is a keypad which is used to detonate the
nuclear power pack, in the event that the Predator is mortally wounded or
captured with no hope of escape. The explosion does 1D6 x 50 MD to
everything within a 200' radius, 1/2 that to everything within 300', and 1/10
that to everything within 500' (NOTE: these are not cumulative - imagine 3
cocentric circles. Inside the first does 1D6 x 50 MD, between the first and
the second does 1/2 that, etc.).

NOTE: The cloaking device/detonator can be disabled by doing 4 MD to the left
forearm. This is a called shot and is -3 to strike in melee, and -3 for
every 50', long-range.

The left shoulder contains a first aid kit which has tools that can be used
to perform first aid on a Predator (not all standard techniques that work on
humans work on Predators, since their physiology is different) NOTE: The
human Predators will have human first aid kits.

PREDATOR BATTLEARMOR:
150 MDC, -20% Prowl, 25 lbs, AR: 19 (Does not include head protection)

Heavy Battlearmor specifically tailored for each individual Predator. It is
NEVER worn in the Hunt. Even Rogues will not CONSIDER using it in the Hunt.
It is used in an all-out attack, typically in the company of many other
Predators. Thus, it has no cloaking device, nor does it have a nuclear
detonator. In addition, Plasma Caster (see below) cannot be attached to the
Battlearmor, since there is no nuclear power source for them to draw upon.
Most often, E-Rifles are the weapon of choice to accompany the Battlearmor.

NOTE: It is VERY rare to see a Predator in this armor. I've seen it in ONE
comic book that I've read (Aliens vs. Predator: War #1). It is really only
used in all-out war.

PLASMA CASTER:
This weapon is attached to the right shoulder and is hardwired to the
Predator's sight. This, in combination with the triangle-shaped
laser-targeting system give the Predator a +3 to strike with the Plasma
Caster.
Damage: 2D6 MD
Range: 500'
Ammo: Unlimited (connected to power source in armor)
Rate of Fire: 3 per melee (15 seconds)
Falls under WP: E-Pistol

COLLAPSIBLE SPEAR:
A 3' long pole which telescopes to a 6' spear, pointed at both ends.
Damage (+ PS bonus):
Club (not telescoped): 3D6
Spear (held): 4D6
Spear (thrown): 6D6
Max Range: 150', - 1 to strike per 10' beyond 100'
Falls under WP: Blunt (Including handheld spear) and WP: Archery/Targeting

BOOMERANG DISC:
10" in diameter, this small, basically circular disc always returns to the
thrower. It is somewhat collapsible - it collapses in the middle, becoming
ellipsoid with a minor radius of 5" (and a major radius of 10")
Damage: 5D6 (does NOT get PS bonus)
Max Range: 200'

HUNTING MASK:
10 MDC, adds 3 to AR of both previously mentioned armors. Provides following
abilities:
-Has its own, self-contained air supply. Predators CAN breathe air, but it
is difficult, halving the amount of time they can exert themselves. The air
system provides air for 8 hours, but replenishes itself, when possible with
components of the outside air.
NOTE: Predators breathe mostly methane, with a few other gasses mixed in.
(Flammable? You betcha.)
-Amplifies user's natural vision: adds 1000', provides passive nightvision to
human wearers.

NET GUN:
This is a small, handheld weapon which fires a titanium-alloy wire mesh to
capture and hold prone an opponent. When the mesh is fired and scores a
successful hit, the target must roll higher than the attack roll on a 1D20 to
avoid being knocked down. If they attempted a dodge, however, they do not
get this roll - they are automatically pinned, either to the ground
approximately 20' away or to the nearest vertical structure that will support
their weight. The initial attack does 2D6 SDC due to the tearing the mesh
does against the body; in addition, struggling against it, or the impact with
the ground/wall will do damage (even in MDC body armor, as per the tables in
the RIFTS Rulebook, page 12). Treat as a high speed crash at 50 mph or a
fall from 10 feet, depending upon whether they were propelled into a wall or
into the ground. In addition, struggling against the mesh does 1D4 SDC per
round (# of chances to break free = # of attacks per melee). It takes a
combined PS of 25 to break free (most characters will need someone else's
help). Predators use this to hold their prey immobile while they either
dispatch with others or advance upon the helpless victim. The net gun is not
used with tremendous frequency by Predators, but is one of the many weapons
available to them. It falls under WP: Revolver. Other useful info:
Ammo: 1 net (takes 1 minute to reload)
Range: 200'
Damage: see above
The mesh has a total of 100 SDC, but only 20 SDC must be dealt to it to cut a
hole in it big enough for a human to escape through.

Description: A handsome strong young character, most likely grew up around
robots. Spent most of his/her life training as a robot pilot.They know the
robot inside and out, they can fly it, fix it and even redesign it to their
likings. As well as training in robots these breed of fighters also trained
in the gym. A Robot master is basically a cross of a Head-Hunter, A Glitter
boy and someone you don't want to fight in a bar. If Robo master is a Female
most ALL men will "RISE" to her occasion. If Robo master is male most all
female will be madly in LOVE with him.

Robo Training Camp
Most all Robo masters were sent to a special training camp by their parents
when they were in the ages of 12-15. At the camp their were taught Nature
survivle , Robo Mechanics and Of course Advanced Robo piloting.

=============================================================================

Rune Caster O.C.C.

Attribute Requirements: Minimum P.E. of 10. Note: Only S.D.C. races may
become rune casters. Also, races with scales or natural armour cannot
be rune casters as the runes must be inscribed on the skin. (As an
interesting note on humans and other races which normally have body
hair is that they lose all body hair on their arms, legs, and torso.
Wolfen have a particular dislike for this a property, and hence only
a handful have become rune casters.) Only humanoids are allowed
(because body runes only work on humanoids). True Atlanteans and
any beings with magic tattoos may not become rune casters because the
tatoos interfere with body runes.
Typical Alignments: Scrupulous and unprincipled are most common, although any
alignment is available. Evil rune casters are extremely rare.
O.C.C. Abilities and Bonuses:
1. Mega-damage transformation! By enscribing the body with runes,
the caster becomes a mega-damage being. Base M.D.C. is 3d6x10, plus
2d6 M.D.C. per level of experience. Note some runes and rune spells
may add to the M.D.C. of the caster.
2. Attribute Bonuses: +2 to P.S. and P.E. +1 to M.E. Also the
rune caster gets any normal bonuses do to race and skills.
2. Combat Bonuses: +1 to initiative, +2 to parry and dodge, +3 to
parry with rune weapons (including long range attacks, which means
only a -1 penalty -- +5 total parry bonus). All bonuses are in
addition to attribute and skill bonuses.
3. Resistance Bonuses: +3 to save vs. magic and psionic attacks.
Immune to poisons an toxins (a side effect of the runes).
4. Rune covered bodies. All rune casters have almost their entire
bodies covered with runes. Only the head, palms of the hands, and
bottoms of the feet are free of runes. The runes go as high as the
base of the neck in the front and the hair line in the back of the
head, as well as on the fingers until the first nuckle, but not
on the toes. The runes have assorted functions ranging from
protection to attack to healing. All rune casters have the following
body runes: heart rune, basic protection rune, healing rune, and the
warning rune. Also select three more body runes at first level.
Also
see below. Note some of the more powerful runes DO require being
drawn on the face (greater healing) and many rune casters have
meaningless symbols drawn on their faces for decoration.
5. Rune Magic. The rune caster is a master of rune magic, and as such
has the following abilities: Recognize real runes and rune weapons
80%+2%/level, identify runes, wards, and symbols 60%+3%/level. Cast
rune spells. Knows a total of 10 rune spells, two augmentations, and
they have seven slots for more spells/abilities or body runes.
(A rune caster may learn two spells per ability slot.) Add one
new rune spell/ability or body rune at each level after first. Also,
all rune casters can create rune weapons, but the time, materials and
P.P.E. required makes the skill of little practical use. Base P.P.E.
is 2d4x10 + 20 + P.E. attribute + 15 per level of experience. (First
level ranges from 55-115 in addition to the characters P.E.) Rune
casters can gain additional P.P.E. from the same sources as other
practitioners of magic.
O.C.C. Skills:
Three Languages of choice (+20%)
Literacy in the same three languages (+15%)
Basic Math (+30%)
Lore: All (+5%)
Wilderness Survival (+10%)
Two ancient W.P. of choice
One modern W.P. of choice
Hand to Hand: Basic
Hand to Hand: basic can be changed to Expert at the cost of one
"other" skill or martial arts (or assassin) for the cost of two
"other" skills.
O.C.C. Related Skills: Select 8 other skills. Plus select two additional
skills at level three and one at levels six, nine, and twelve. All
new skills start at level one proficiency.
Communications: Any (+5%)
Domestic: Any.
Electrical: None.
Espionage: Escape and Intelligence only.
Mechanical: Basic only.
Medical: First aid (+10%).
Military: None.
Physical: Any except gymnastics and acrobatics.
Pilot: Any except robot or power armour (+5%).
Pilot Related: Any (+5%).
Rogue: Any.
Science: Any (+5%).
Technical: Any (+5%).
W.P.: Any.
Wilderness: Any (+10%).
Secondary Skills: The character also gets to select five secondary skills.
These are additional areas of knowledge that do not get the advantage
of the bonus listed in parentheses. All secondary skills start at the
base skill level. Also, skills are limited (any, only, none) as
previously indicated in the list.
Standard Equipment: Tend to avoid technology. Will have one greater and one
lesser rune weapon (created while an apprentice, the greater weapon is
the test to become a full rune caster)! Will also have a suit of
mega-damage armour (often enchanted by runes), a modern or techno-
wizard weapon appropriate for their weapon proficiency, and usually
some minor rune enhanced objects depending on their rune skills.
Will usually dress in clothes designed to hide their runes (only some
require touch) including deep robes, capes, and gloves.
Money: Will usually accumulate a small fortune by selling minor rune objects,
in addition to the fortune in items they keep. Will usually have
1d6x10,000 credits and 1d4x5,000 in gems and precious metals. May
or may not carry them on their person.
Cybernetics and Bionics: Most would not consider these even for medical
reasons. Any implants reduce magic the same as other practitioners.

NOTE: Uses the same experience as the Temporal Wizard.

RUNE WEAPON RCC

by DaBeechMan

Actually, this is a lot like a Bot. The character literally is
transformed into a rune weapon! This RCC is way powerful, with
serious limitations. For one thing, the character must be Level
15 to make the transformation.

Requirements: ME: 20

Attributes: Unchanged, but drop PS, PE, PP, and Spd. You' re a
weapon; you don't need them anymore!

Alignment: Roll 1d100. On a 1-50, the character reverts to
Principled. On a 51-00, alignment is unchanged.

HP/SDC: None! Impervious to everything except the Magic Cauldron
of Destruction (which they cannot escape from, which makes these
cauldrons a serious threat.)

Magic: Same as before. Rituals and circles may not be performed
unless the owner is controlled. PPE: Same as before.

Psionics: Only these may be kept, assuming the character had
these:
Psi-Sword (now equal to a CyberKnight's), any kind of -kinesis,
healing touch, any sensitive, and induce sleep. All psionics now
function at the level of the USER, not the player. ISP same as
before.

Note: May be commanded to use magic or psionics. The weapon may
not resist this command!

Powers: At Level 15, automatically has indestructibility and Mind
Control, as well as any magic and psionics possessed before. Mind
Control: The weapon may control its user at certain times. This
may happen when:

1) the weapon is first handled
2) someone who the weapon thinks is more worthy comes along
3) These weapons are intelligent, and may get into arguments.

To check for control, add up the weapon's IQ, MA, and ME. The
user must beat this number on 3d20 or be controlled. While under
the control, the user will do ANYTHING the weapon commands. In
fact, many a sword has used this to get a few more jewels on its
hilt (each 10,000 credits worth of jewels increases the weapon's
PB by 2) Every 2 levels, the sword may gain a new power, although
Principled swords may not soul-drink. This starts at level 16.

Standard Damage: Double normal damage, then convert it to MD.
Add 1 die every 4 levels. If a rune gun (like that one that looks
like a dragon in the shape of a pistol) is created, the weapon
starts shooting 2d6 MD pulses of force. It may shoot other things
later on (fire, ice, etc.) but each new projectile counts as a
power.

Limitations: The weapon may not move under its own power.
The weapon only gets experience for killing things, and then only
if it deals the death blow (it only has to strike the death blow,
otherwise anything else can attack whatever the weapon must kill.
NOTE: The weapon gets NO EXPERIENCE for soul-drinking!
If the weapon should happen to get stuck in a cauldron of
destruction, it may NOT try to get out. Roll percentile dice
every 10 minutes. On a 1-10, someone walks by, but runs away. On
a 00, someone pulls the weapon out of the cauldron. NOTE: for
every hour spent in the cauldron, the weapon loses a level of
EXPERIENCE. Increase the chance of being rescued by 2% every time
someone walks by. If the weapon in the cauldron less than an
hour, no damage is done. Otherwise, round fractions up.
May not use skills. Totally dependent on its user in this
field. If the user is controlled, the weapon may use its skills
through the user, but not the user's skills.

Average Life Span: Indefinite

OCC/RCC: Any OCC or RCC may be a rune weapon, so long as it was
15th level in that OCC or RCC when it was transformed.

Gear: None

Cybernetics/Bionics: On a weapon? I don't think so!

Uses the Ancient Chiang-Ku experience table (levels 16-26). After
this, the weapon must double their EXPERIENCE to get to the next
level. May rise as high as it can, until it gets all the powers
(which takes a while.) After this, raise the MD of the weapon 1
die every level.

NOTE: These weapons are INCREDIBLY rare! Currently, there are
known to be:
3 swords (one each in North America, Ireland, and Phoenix)
1 staff (in the NGR somewhere)
1 axe (Triax found it, but they can't seem to find a way to
duplicate it; they think it's some kind of technology)
1 sharpened boomerang (where else-it's in Australia)
5 daggers (scattered all over the place).

Silver Ball RCC


The Silver Ball is a race of highly intelligent sphere-shaped
bipeds that are powerful psionics. They have no home world and are
megaverse explorers. They seem to have no real love, they just
like to wander and explore. Use the dragon experience table, but
add 500 to reach level 2, 1000 to reach level 5, and 3000 to reach
level 10.
Silver balls have no sex, cannot reproduce unless they are at
least 3000 years old, and have no features except a silver ball
shaped body with a slant on the front for an eye, and two thin
arms and two thin legs with bird like feet.

Alignment: Any, but few are evil and most (about 70%) are
Unprincipled.

Attributes: IQ 5D6+3, ME 4D6+4, MA 3D6, PS 2D6, PP 2D6+2, PE 3d4,
PB 4D6, Spd 1d6x10.

MDC: 1d6x25 +5 per level of experience

AWE: 7

Magic: When rolling up your Silver Ball, roll 1d10. On a 1-3 the
character has no magic and only 2d4 PPE. Add 10 MDC and 1 to PS
and SPD. On a 4-8, the character can chose 3 first level spells,
with an additional spell at levels 3, 7, and 10. The levels you
can chose from are: at level 3, spell levels 1 and 2, at level 7,
spell levels 1-4, at level 10, spell levels 1-6. The character has
1d4x10 +10 PPE to begin with and gains 3 PPE per level of
experience. On a 9 or 0 (10), the character can chose 5 spells
from levels 1-3. At level 3 and 5, chose 2 spells from levels 1-5.
At level 7, chose 1 spell from levels 1-8. At level 12, chose 3
spells from level 1-11. Base PPE is 2d6x10 +5 per level of
experience. -1 PS and -5 MDC.

Psionics: When creating your silver ball, roll 1d12. On a 1, the
silver ball may only chose 1 psionic from the sensitive category
and only has 1d4 ISP, +1 per level of experience. Add 1 to PS and
5 to MDC. On a 2-4, the character may chose 2 psionics from all
categories but super. The character has 2d6+ME ISP to begin with,
and gains 2 per level of experience. On a 5-10, The character may
chose 3 psionics from all categories but super. Plus the character
gets PSI-SWORD at level 5. Base ISP is 1d4x10+ME. Add 3 per level
of experience. Note that on both the above two, that's 2 and 3
from each category as in you chose 2 from Sensitive., 2 from
Physical., and 2 from healer. NOT You only get 2 from all three.
Thus, a 2-4 really has 6 psionics, and a 5-10 has 9 (10 with psi-
sword). On a 11 or 12, the character may chose 4 psionics from
each category but Super {In the same way as described above, so a
total of 12}. The character also gets 2 super psionics at level 1.
Base ISP is 2d4x10+ME, add 5 ISP per level of experience. At level
3, 7, 9, and 12, chose 1 psionic from any category but super (This
means 1 from each, for 3). At levels 2, 6, and 13, chose 1 psionic
from super ONLY.

Saves vs. Psionics as minor if you rolled a 1-4, as a major if you
rolled a 5-10, as a master 11 or 12.

Other Powers

Immune to gases and poisons (Except MD corrosive)
Regenerates 1d6 MDC every 3 minutes.
Cannot be turned into vampire.
If a vampire bites a Silver Ball, the same thing happens as with
an Ironoid, they permanently lose 3D6 HP.

Average Life Span: 500 years

Habitat: None. Does not need anything, and could care less what
its environment is. Can be in temperatures as low as -130 degrees
to as high as 500 degrees without discomfort.

Friends: Dragons and Titans seem to like Silver Balls

Enemies: Metztla hate Silver Balls for reasons unknown (there is
no reason, really)

Size: The main body (Ball) is about a foot in diameter. Height is
from 3 to 7 feet.

silver. You have the SPIKER RCC. A genetically engineered Bio-
Warrior designed as a Gargoyle killer. You'd think the NGR would
like these things, but they kill them just like any other
creature. Currently 157 reside on Earth. 58 are in a community in
the Rocky Mountains, 69 are in a community in Poland, and the rest
are lone or paired wanderers.

Alignment: Any, but mostly (83%) good.

Attributes: IQ: 3d4, ME: 3d6, MA: 2d6, PS: 5d6, PP: 4d6, PE: 4d6,

PPE: 2d4x5

Natural Abilities: Has all the normal senses of a human (NOTE:
The hands are NOT covered in spikes, nor are the feet.) Including
vision (although there are no apparent eyes, ears, etc.), Hearing,
Smell, etc. They do have 3 powers of note: 1. They can sense ALL
movement within 30 feet, regardless of walls or barriers, 2. the
effects of DU rounds are negated and U rounds DO heal, just takes
3x normal time. Bullets need not be removed, 3. the spike's on the
characters body can all be launched. This causes 1d4x50 Damage to
all within a 20 foot range, but does 1d4x20 damage to the SPIKER

reduce 10 MDC. All spike bonuses are canceled.

Spirit RCC

There was pain. There was horrible pain. Not from the death as much
as from the life -- the regret. But now... now you have a second chance...
of sorts... If you can overcome your own pain, you might just last long
enough to see your enemies destroyed... your love requitted... your life
remembered.
Spirits are the ghosts of men and women who died in extremely
emotional situations which left them with some earthly thing left undone. An
uncomplete Spirit cannot let go of the material world -- it fears what the
afterlife might truly be like. And it yearns for completeness. Unity.
Spirits are further classified into three main groups by
parapsychologists: wraiths, haunts, and spectres. Wraiths are commonly good
beings that serve as protectors of some sort. Either they protect a person
the knew in life, or a treasure they kept hidden. Haunts seek remembrance.
They want to be knwn to someone for some specific reason -- an unrequitted
love or a playwrite who never finished his final masterpiece are examples.
Spectres are by far the worst. Some may be good -- seeking to bring their
killers to justice -- but many are evil, tormenting a specific individual or
group that scorned them in life. And all spectres are violent and hostile.
Spirits may have lived as any sort of being in any sort of
occupation, but they start their class advancement over after death. It's a
new state of life they are entering and, even though they may remember some
old skills, all experiences are new to them.
(Note: new Spirit characters can be made from old, deceased NPCs or
PCs; keep skills and attributes as they were, but add RCC bonuses, including
the extra D6 to SPD and ME. All other aspects change -- even magic is lost
to the change.)

Alignments: Any
Attributes: The number of six-sided dice rolled is as designated:
IQ 3D6, ME 4D6, MA 2D6, PS 3D6, PP 3D6+1, PE 3D6+1, PB 3D6, SPD 4D6
Hit Points: ME +3D6, plus 1D8 per level.
Horror Factor: Equal to 20 minus PB with a minimum of 7.
PPE: 1D4x10
Natural Abilities: Nightvision 60'. See into both the physical and astral
planes simultaneously. Detect magic, the supernatural, and psionics within
100'. Spirits are naturally invisible and intangible (note that this means
Spirits can pass through walls and other obstacles -- only magical barriers
and walls made of pure iron will stop them). However, this also means they
can't normally interact with the physical world. They must use their psionic
powers to contact the material world. All Spirits can become visible for a
time, if they spend 5 ISP -- the duration is ten minutes per level, and the
clarity of the image also depends on the level (a second level Spirit appears
as little more than a hazy cloud, while a tenth level Spirit is almost
indistinguishable from a living creature). No matter how high the Spirit's
level, however, there are two unsolvable problems: when someone films or
takes a photograph of the Spirit, the image always comes out blurred and
ghostly, and Spirits cast no shadows. Note that exorcism spells and effects
will drive a Spirits from the area for the extent of the duration.
Damage and Spirits: Ordinary attacks do not damage Spirits in their natural
form. Non-physical psionic and magical attacks do harm them, as do rune
weapons, holy weapons, and weapons forged from pure iron. When they have
taken a physical form (usually via possession), any damage done to the body
does half damage to the spirit. All damage that can harm the body,
regardless of whether it is SD or MD drains from the Spirit's Hit Points
equally. Spirits heal Hit Points back at the rate of 1 every minute (4
melees). Spirits are also obviously immune to poisons, toxins, fire,
disease, etc. in their natural form. If a Spirit loses all of its Hit
Points, it is dicorporated (and ejected from any body it may be inhabiting).
It must then make a saving throw versus coma/death. If the roll is
successful, the Spirit will reform within 1D4 hours. If not, it is destroyed
forever -- sent into eternal torment in an endless limbo dimension.
Combat: One attack without any training, or those gained from Hand to Hand
combat and/or boxing. Psionic attacks equal the number of Hand to Hand
attacks per round.
Bonuses: +1 to initiative, plus those gained from attributes and skill
bonuses.
Psionics: All Spirits are considered master psionics. Base ISP is equal to
ME +40; add 2D4 per level. Spirits can also draw off of the ISP and PPE of
those around them. Living creatures get a saving throw versus psionics to
avoid having their energy drained. One point of PPE equals 4 points of ISP.
At first level, Spirits have the following abilities: see aura, mind
block, empathy, see the invisible, and mentally possess others (in which
their soul takes total control, actually entering the host body; duration is
raised to 10 minutes per level). In addition, Spirit characters may select
one new power from the following list at each new even numbered level:
healing touch, increased healing, induce sleep, psychic diagnosis, psychic
purification, psychic surgery, alter aura, ectoplasm, levitation, resist
fatigue*, resist hunger*, resist thirst*, summon inner strength*,
telekinesis, clairvoyance, object read, sense evil, sixth sense, and
telepathy. Those powers marked with asterisks function only on a possessed
body. Spirits also gain one Super-Psionic at third level (but cannot pick
Bio-Regeneration: Super, Psi-Sword, or Psi-Shield).
RCC Skills: Speaks native language at 98%, plus one other at +10%. Hand to
Hand combat is none -- Basic cost 1 other skill selection, Expert costs 2,
and Martial Arts or Assassin cost 3. Select 7 Other Skills from the
following list:
Communications: any, Domestic: any (+10%), Electrical: any,
Espionage: any, Mechanical: any, Medical: any (+5%), Military: any, Physical:
any, Pilot: any (+5%), Pilot Related: any, Rogue: any, Science: any,
Technical: any (+10%), WPs: any, Wilderness: any.
Plus select 4 more Secondary Skills from that list (without the
bonuses listed in parenthesis), and select one more Secondary Skill at levels
3, 6, 9, and 12.
Equipment and Money: none.
Cybernetics and Bionics: Obviously, they can't accquire these themselves.
Spirits can possess borgs, but the victim gains a +2 to save if he is partial
conversion, and +5 if he is full conversion.

XP: Use the Burster table

is for Tech. TurTextron's don't use technology. There is no
exception to this rule. The only Tech they may use is MD ancient
weapons (Vibro-Blades, etc.) and MDC shields. NOT MDC armor,
unless it is primitive in design. The reason is that, centuries
ago, technology killed their race. Use the Techno Wizard
experience table.
Only a Turtextron can tell the sex of another Turtextron.
They may mate only after they have reached 500 years, and then sex
is pretty much like a human and they mate for life. When one

Vampire Hunter OCC

The Vampire Hunter is a character driven fanatically to the goal of
destroying all vampires. The character sees vampires as a creature from
the depths of hell who pose the most serious threat to humanity, humanity
has ever seen. They may be right. Vampire Hunters focus on physical and
mental strengths to defeat their foes. The longer they live the more
knowledgeable they become about their enemy, yet as they grow older they
often are not strong enough to carry on their crusade.
The Vampire Hunter can be of any alignment. Just because the vampires
that they seek to destroy are evil by no means indicates that their Hunters
must be Principled! Some characters will attempt to overcome any boundary
in-between them and their goal, even if it means hurting or killing a human
being.
A Vampire Hunter will work alone if need be, but they tend to like to
work in groups. They feel that there is more safety in numbers, and frankly
they are confronting an evil that has much more power than they, so having
other people with them increases their chance of survival. However most
Vampire Hunters do not like to work among their peers. They dispute and
bicker over methods and targets, but this is a smoke screen to cover up their
clashing ego's, Reids Rangers are an exception... They are bound together by
Reids leadership abilities. But other hunters will often find or assemble a
group of hearty adventurers to help them further their cause. These
characters are usually relatively naive about vampires, and the Hunter takes
great enjoyment on acting as a strange kind of mentor. A Vampire Hunter also
often takes an apprentice, a person he or she can teach to carry on the good
fight, in case they fall in battle, or for some other reason cannot continue
their quest. The Hunter treats this apprentice as a loved son or daughter
One of a Vampire Hunters greatest dangers is the distinct possibility
that he or she may someday become what they loathe. Some Vampire Hunters
who become vampires themselves commit suicide if they can, yet most become
the most ruthless creatures of the night, as if their fanaticism for the
destruction of vampires has transformed to a lust for blood most vampires
cannot even comprehend.

Vampire Hunter Powers:
Some people say these powers don't exist, that they are just rumors created
from the rantings of Vampire Hunters... Others say that these powers are
a special sort of psionics, and still others say a deity granted the
Vampire Hunter these strange powers. The real answer? Nobody knows not even
the Vampire Hunters themselves, but never the less they DO work.

1. Smell Undead
When a Vampire Hunter is within 1 mile of a vampire (or other undead)
they smell something in the air. Its common to see a Vampire Hunter take a
deep breath and say something like "Yep there's vampires here"

2. Immune to ghoulish horror
Vampire Hunters face horror so often they have become numb to it. They
can be surprised but any HF from an undead creature affects a level 1 Hunter
at one half its normal value, and at level 5 not at all.

3. Faith
A Vampire Hunter's greatest weapon, the one that makes their strikes ring
true, and their flee in terror, can simply be called faith. 3 times a day
Vampire Hunters can call upon their faith to add a + 2 bonus to any roll
against undead, or exorcise a demon, or be a minor help for many other
actions. However the player must declare its use before the action (not
after the roll.)

4. Induce fear in undead
Undead who realize the Vampire Hunter for what he/she is have to check
against a HF of 12. Vampires will have unpredictable reactions to this. Some
will flee in terror, others will attack like a raccoon that's been backed into
a corner. But the reaction will always be extreme.

* Note a vampire cannot tell a Vampire Hunter like a Hunter can detect a
vampire, once the Hunter is approaching with a stake in one hand and a water
gun in the other, bearing a silver cross....

5. Weapon Making
Vampire Hunters know how to create vampire killing weapons, and they
commonly modify guns, crossbows, make water pistols. A Vampire Hunter will
give these weapons to other people in town, hoping they will protect
themselves

Wildrunner R.C.C.

With the advent of psionic powers came into being the Wildrunners,
beings whose mental powers developed toward the control of beasts. In this
regard, they are extremely powerful individuals, capable of mentally
dominating even the mighty dragons!
These are uncommon beings who generally dislike contact with
civilization, spending most of their existence in the wilderness. They are
sometimes sought out by Coalition forces for their ability to control
supernatural creatures, and used to help eradicate their threat to humankind.
Wildrunners in the wilderness tend to be solitary beings, except for a
gathering of befriended animals who accompany them. As a Coalition soldier, a
Wildrunner will generally be assigned to work with a Search and Destroy team
of Dog Boys, Psi-Stalker, and Duster. Wildrunners are a valued asset of the
Coalition in its campaign against supernatural creatures.

Wildrunner Powers

1. Psionic Empathy/Control of Creatures. Wildrunners have an affinity
with animals of all kinds. Domesticated animals will always take an immediate
liking to a wildrunner and will do their best to please him; +20% bonus to
ride a horse and work with all domestic animals.
Wild animals will react to the wildrunner as if he was a fellow woodland
creature, allowing him to walk among them without fear. This allows the
wildrunner to operate in the wilderness without causing animals to react to
his prescence; birds do not fly away, animals do not run, and therefore do not
indicate a wildrunner's approach. Even watchdogs will not bark at the
prescence of a wildrunner.
Wildrunners not only have an empathy with animals, they can psionically
control animals. This ability requires a saving throw to negate, otherwise the
animal will be under the wildrunner's mental domination. Controlling an animal
(or supernatural beastie) costs 4 I.S.P. for every 10 minutes of domination.
Supernatural beasties are allowed a saving throw every 10 minutes, other
animals are only allowed the initial save. Intelligent supernatural demons
(including vampires) may also be controlled at the cost of 8 I.S.P. for every
10 minutes of mental domination.
Note: this ability also applies to attempts to control dragons, although
this is an extremely risky proposition. Attempts to control dragons must be
made when the wildrunner is in actual, physical contact with a dragon, and the
following conditions apply: saving throw is at +4 (every 10 minutes!), I.S.P.
cost is 12 points per 10 minutes of control. Also note that when a dragon
comes out of mind control, he is very disturbed and willing to shred the
wildrunner!
Special Note: because of his special rapport with animals, a wildrunner
will try to never unnecessarily kill any animal. He will hunt for food,
however, and shows no compassion for amoral supernatural beings.

2. Other Psi-Powers. Wildrunners also possess the following psionic
abilities: Empathic Transmission (super), Prescence Sense, Empathy,
Nightvision, Bio-Regeneration, and Mind Block. Wildrunners also have a +2
bonus to save versus mind control. They can also use items of Techno-Wizardry,
and especially enjoy TW weapon types.

3. Physical Bonuses. Enhanced senses make it difficult to surprise a
wildrunner, giving a bonus +2 to initiative rolls. +10 to S.D.C., +1d6 to P.E.
and M.A., +1d4 to M.E.

Attribute Requirements: P.S. 10, P.P. 11, M.E. 16.

P.P.E.: 2d6.

I.S.P.: 2d4 x 10 + M.E. attribute number is the base I.S.P., plus 10 I.S.P.
per level of experience. Considered a master psionic.

Secondary Skills: The character also gets to select 6 secondary skills from
the previous list. These additional areas of knowledge do not get the bonuses
listed in parantheses. Also, skills are limited (any, only, none) as
previously indicated in the list.

Standard Equipment: Wildrunners usually have equipment very similar to that
possessed by the Wilderness Scout, and should refer to that list.
Weapons usually carried include: energy pistol and a couple of spare E-
clips, S.D.C. knife, bolt action hunting rifle and S.D.C. ammunition.
Vehicle generally will be some form of riding animal, be it horse or
some similar creature befriended by the wildrunner. However, mechanical forms
of transportation may also be used.
Coalition Wildrunners will have PSI "Dead Boy" body armor, a C-18 energy
sidearm, and a vibro-blade in addition to whatever equipment they possessed
before coming to work for the Coalition. Availability of other equipment
depends, as usual, upon the relationship between the Wildrunner and his
superiors.

Money: 2d6 x 100 in credit, and 1d4 x 1,000 in black market items. Coalition
Wildrunners earn 2000 credits per month for their services.

Cybernetics: Wildrunners will generally avoid cybernetic implantation except
to replace missing body parts.

Yi-Xian CCC (Complete Character Class)

The Yi-Xian Alien (The 'One Immortal' Alien)
-----------------

The Yi-Xian is an alien from another planet very different from Rifts Earth.
This alien is now present on Earth and on various other locations in this
galaxy by complete and utter mistake.
The first Yi-Xian alien was brought to Earth when some rogue scientists were
experimenting in a small labratory in a city in China, somehow a chemical
reaction was triggered and mixed with some of the local ley line energy with
opened a rift. A matter of seconds after the rifts opened an alien was passed
through and into a was at massive speeds.
The alien got up and ran outside (leaving a large imprint in the wall)
into the streets.
It ran through the streets of the city and ended up being gunned down by one
of the local Triads.
Later the alien got to it's feet and escaped outside the city. The locals that
witnessed this branded the alien the Yi-Xian, chinese for 'One Immortal'.

Since the first accident, scientists, assisted by some Techno-Wizzards and a
few shifters, have re-opened the rift in attemps to send researchers with a
small military force through, however the is some force preventing the reverse
pass through the rift. Only travel from the dimension to Earth is possible.

Since the first, many more Yi-Xian aliens have been appearing throught the
world for reasons yet to be determined.
(Creators Note: The reason I came up with is that the aliens from the
homeworld want to find out more about the other side of the
rift.)

Appendix C

RUNE CASTER, RUNE LORDS, and RUNE MAGIC
---------------------------------------

<P>By: Jason Bridgman ([e-mail])

The original rune magic was created by the Old Ones of the Paladium world,
which they taught to several races, including the dwarves. Durring the
Time of Chaos on the Palladium world, there was a race of human-like
beings that possessed the secrets of rune magic known as the Ean. The Ean
fought against the Old Ones in the war that ended the Time of Chaos, and
were thought to be among the races that were destroyed. In truth, the Ean
had begun to develop rune magic unlike anything any other being had done,
including the Old Ones. The Ean fled the Palladium world near the end of the
war, creating a pocket dimension using rune magic. In their new dimension,
the
Ean developed rune magic into an art which combined concepts of conventional
rune magic, tattoo magic, and spell casting. The Ean became the Rune Lords.
Conventional rune magic while powerful, is rather simple. It consisted of
creating ultra-powerful weapons by trapping a life essence into a weapon or
item. Now the powers of the Rune Lords included augmentation to their bodies
in addition to objects, and even a form of spell casting. No other race has
ever accomplished anything similiar to that of the Ean, except for perhaps
the Splugorth with their tattoo magic, which is similiar to vastly inferior
rune magic.

For thousands of years the Ean were content to remain in their dimensional
realm and develop their magic, only occationally venturing from their homes
into the rest of the universe. The Ean eventually became restless. They
were essentially good beings, and were upset by the evil that they saw.
Creatures like the Splugorth, evil gods, and demon lords struck fear into
them. These beings were growing in power, power like that of the Old Ones.
Their were little in the way of forces of good to combat these forces of
darkness. Hence the Rune Lords journeyed forth to do battle against the
forces of evil. While the Rune Lords were powerful, they knew that they
could not face their enemies alone. Thus they began to teach the secrets of
the runes to a select few. Each Rune Lord usually only takes on one or two
apprentices in their life time, and hence the number of rune casters remain
low. Most rune casters are of good alignment, but some have turned to evil.
To this day, the Splugorth do not know of the rune casters, Rune Lords, or
even of this form of rune magic. All rune casters, even the evil ones, will
go to extraordinary measures to ensure that the Splugorth do not find out
about them. If the Splugorth ever found out about them, they would do
whatever was necessary to learn this new magic, and then destroy all others
who possessed it.

Today most rune casters and lords live in the Nexus, the dimension created
by the Ean. The dimension is known as the nexus because the entire dimension
is like a giant nexus point. Anywhere in the dimension practitioners of
magic receive the benefits of being at a nexus point. Also, while it is like
a nexus point, no rifts have ever opened to this dimension. Therefore most
beings do not know of its existence, and none have ever found it. The only
way to travel to the dimension is via magic runes. Very few beings other
than rune casters have even seen the dimension. Those who have were either
friends of rune casters or criminals being taken before the elders for
judgement. The elders are extremely powerful rune casters with 90% being
Ean, 5% human, and the remaining being other races. Most rune casters when
they draw near the ends of their lives choose to become rune weapons. This
is so that they can spend the rest of eternity helping the forces of good.
NOTE: Most, and all good rune casters, will only make rune weapons from
willing beings. Their are a suprising number of powerful beings of good that
volunteer to become rune weapons. Most of them are near the ends of their
natural life spans, and choose to continue to serve the forces of good rather
then simply waste their life forces.

<--==Rune Magic==-->

The powers of runes are varied, ranging from physical augmentation to
effects similiar to conventional spells. There are two different classes
of Rune Magic. The first is body runes while the other is rune spells/
abilities. Body runes are runes that are drawn/tattooed onto the body of the
rune caster. The body runes then augment the body in some way, either by
increasing physical attributes including M.D.C., or by affecting the body
like a spell effect (invisibility, flight, metamorphosis, etc.). Most rune
spells/abilities are similiar to conventional spellcasting, but they are cast
differently. Other rune spells/abilities include object augmentation (rune
weapon creation is done like this), and effects similiar to wards and circles.

-Body Runes: Body runes cover almost all of the body, and all are connected.
While all of the symbols may not cause an effect, they are all magical and
connect all of the runes in a network of magic. When adding a new rune,
the connection symbols are modified in the creation process in order for the
rune to fit into the latice of symbols. Only some of the body runes require
P.P.E. to activate, as many are permanently active. All runes are activated
by thought, except those which are specified in their description. The body
runes are drawn in an azure blue colour.

The Heart: This symbol is the first rune any rune caster receives. It is
a symbol drawn over the heart of the being that receives it, and all
other runes are connected to it. The heart rune is required to cast
any rune spells. In addition to forming the basis or heart of the
rune system, this rune adds 5d6 M.D.C. to the person receiving it.
P.P.E.: None.

Healer: The healer rune must be drawn on the back of the hand. In order to
activate this rune, it must be touched to the heart rune. Touching
does not necessarily mean flesh contact, it will work through clothing
and MAGIC armour. This rune simply heals damage to the body, healing
3d6 M.D.C. per application. P.P.E.: 10.

Basic Protection: This is actually a series of six runes, with one being
placed in each location of each leg, each arm, the chest, and the
back. If the being has more than two arms then they only need the
runes on two of them. The basic protection rune system adds 1d6x10
M.D.C to the wearer. P.P.E.: None

Advanced Protection: This is a modification to the basic protection runes,
and
requires the basic system first before these runes are added. This
system adds an additional 2d4x10 M.D.C. in addiotion to the protection
provided by the basic protection runes.

Strength: This rune may be drawn anywhere on the body. This rune increases
the wearers strength by six points and makes it supernatural, minimum
P.S. of 16. Duration is 2 minutes per level of experience. This
strength increase allows the user to inflict mega-damage in their
attacks. Damage varies based on strength as follows:
P.S. 16-20 -> 1d6 M.D.
P.S. 21-25 -> 2d6 M.D.
P.S. 26-30 -> 3d6 M.D.
P.S. 31-35 -> 4d6 M.D.
P.S. 36-40 -> 5d6 M.D.

The maximum strength for a humanoid character is a 50. P.P.E.: 15.

Speed: This rune must be drawn anywhere on the legs. The wearer of the rune
has his speed increased to 44, or ten points added to his speed if
he already has a 44 or heigher speed attribute. Also, the wearer
gains
a +4 to dodge while the magic is active. Duration is one minute plus
one minute per level of experience. P.P.E.: 10.

Flight: This rune may be drawn anywhere on the body. The rune allows the
wearer to fly at 60 mph + 10 mph per level of experience. Maximum
height is 4000 feet and duration is 15 minutes per level of
experience. P.P.E.: 15.

Defence: The defence rune creates a magic shield around the wearer. The
M.D.C. of the shield is 20 M.D.C. per level of experience. The
duration is 10 minutes per level of experience or until destroyed.
This rune may be drawn anywhere, but is usually drawn on the chest or
arms because it must be touched by the fingertips to be activated.
P.P.E.: 20.

Super Healer: This is an enhancement on the healer rune and must be drawn on
the forehead of the user (the person usually has runes running up the
sides of the face). The healer rune must be possessed before this
rune can be created, and it is activated by touching the healer rune
to it. Flesh contact must be made (the two become one). The rune
instantly heals 100 M.D.C. points, and doubles the normal healing rate
of the user. P.P.E.: 100.

Enhanced Healing: This rune must be drawn near the heart rune. It increases
the normal healing ability of the body allowing the user to heal
1d6 M.D.C. per hour. The healer rune must also be possessed for
this rune to work. P.P.E.: None.

Body Weaponry: This is another rune set, consisting of four or more runes.
The runes are drawn on the top of each of the feet, and on the
back of the hands or on the wrists. These runes energize the wearer
allowing him to perform mega-damage attacks. The runes can be used in
one of two ways. The first is to enhance the users hand to hand
strikes. When used in this way, the users inflicts 2d4 M.D. for
a punch or kick. A power punch or jump kick does 3d6 M.D. If used
with the strength rune, or if the being natually causes mega-damage
in their attacks, this power give them a +10 M.D. to their damage.
Duration in this form is 2 melee rounds per level of experience. The
other form allows the user to release the energy in one long range
blast. Range of the attack is 1000 feet and causes 2d6+1d6 M.D. for
every level of experience. P.P.E.: 10 or 15 for a blast.

Invisibility: The rune of invisibility is a very rare rune. It may be
drawn anywhere on the body. The rune grants the user invisibility,
similiar to that of the invisibility: superior spell. The user
can not be detected by any means including infrared, ultraviolet,
heat, motion detection, and smell. The user leaves no foot prints
and makes little sound (prowl 80%). Like other invisibility powers,
the user becomes visible when they take a hostile action. Otherwise
the power last for 5 minutes per level of experience, or until it is
disengaged by the user. P.P.E.: 20.

Energy Resistance: This power reduces the damage of energy attacks to 75%.
The rune must be drawn on the torso. P.P.E.: None.

Metamorphosis: This is one of the most rare runes in existance. It must be
drawn on the spine of the user. It allows the user to shapechange
into
any animal or humanoid. The user can also change into inanimate
objects but it requires double the P.P.E.. While the user is in the
other form, they retain all of their normal attributes and abilities,
but gain none of the form they change into. The only thing they gain
from the transformation is the appearance and means of locamotion
(flight for birds, swim for fish, etc.). Maximum size is three times
as tall for humanoids, or the size of an elephant/melech for animals.
Even monsters can be imitated including things ranging from centaurs
to gryphons to melech (about the biggest) to gargoyles. Inanimate
objects have a maximum size of 100 cubic feet (5x5x4 box). Duration
is 10 minutes per level of experience for creatures, 5 minutes per
level for inanimate objects. P.P.E: 50/100.

Psionic Defence: This rune, which must be drawn on the head or neck (usually
the top of the neck/base of the skull or forehead), makes the user
impervious to mind control, possession, and mind reading/probes. It
also grants a +5 to save vs. other psionic attacks. Duration is one
minute per level of experience. P.P.E.: 20.

Breathe Without Air: The breathe without air rune must be drawn on either
the chest or the neck. It allows the user to breathe while under
water or in a vacuum. It also allows the user to breathe in
atmospheres that are poisonous and while in poisonous gases clouds.
An additional effect is that if the user has a protection rune set,
they may operate in outer space without an environmental suit.
Duration is 5 minutes per level of experience. P.P.E.: 8.

Hiding: Hiding runes are common for those people that must go amongst beings
that may recognize the runes as such. When activated, the hiding rune
masks the runes on the body of the user. It is a simple magic that
just makes the runes less obvious and makes people think that they
can't see it. Chance for noticing runes by casual observation -- 5%.
Chance of noticing the runes under close examination is only 50%.
Duration is one day per level of experience. This rune may be drawn
anywhere on the body. P.P.E.: 20.

Warning: A simple rune drawn connected to the heart rune, this rune warns
the wearer when they are in danger. When anything hostile to the
wearer is within one mile, all of the runes on the body begin to glow.
The brightness depends on the closeness and degree of danger. An
extremely powerful demon lord standing near the wearer will cause the
runes to glow so bright that they can light up a room through his
clothing! The warning system can be turned off with a thought, so
that
the wearer is not so obvious. This rune is always active. P.P.E.:
None.

NOTE: Other body runes exist, but are very rare and are not usually available.
many Ean families have a special rune which is like a family heirloom
and only passed down through the family. Also, rune casters can
develop their own runes/effects through research and experiments.


-Rune Spells/Abilities: Rune spells are like conventional spells, but are
cast by drawing runes either on an object or in the air. Special
spells/abilities are used for such things as augmenting objects.

Augmentations-> Note: In all rune sequences with temporary and permanent
forms, temporary runes may be drawn with anything, and in anything.
Permanent runes must be drawn in a more permanent material, hence the
runes must be carved or engraved into the object. Most rune casters
also fill the runes with silver (if not their is a 5% chance that the
runes do not hold, and the enchantment will only last for five years
per level).

Create Magic Weapon: This spell/ability allows the rune caster to change a
normal S.D.C. weapon into a mega-damage weapon. Their are two forms
of this power. The first one only grants the power temporarily. The
second form makes the weapon permanently magical. Whether permanent
or not, the weapon now inflicts its normal damage, but as mega-damage
instead of S.D.C. (a weapon which did 1d6 S.D.C. now does 1d6 M.D.).
The rune caster must have something with which to draw the runes with
(anything will do, the magic makes it stick; in desperate times rune
casters have been known to draw with their fingers in blood). The
weapon, like true rune weapons, becomes indestructable. Creatures
that are vulnerable to rune weapons are affected in the same way with
these weapons. Duration for a temporary enchantment is 30 minutes per
level of experience. It takes 2 minutes to do a temporary enchantment
or 30 minutes for a permanent enchantment. P.P.E.: 10 for temporary,
100 for permanent.

Supernatural Slayer: This is similiar to the create magic weapon ability,
only it does normal S.D.C. damage to most creatures, but does double
normal S.D.C. damage in mega-damage to creatures of magic and the
supernatural including dragons, demons, etc. (a weapon that does 1d6
S.D.C. does 2d6 M.D.). Those creatures that are vulnerable to rune
weapons are affected in the same way with these weapons. These
weapons can be temporary or permanent, the same as with the previous
power. Duration for a temporary weapon is 30 minutes per level of
experience. It takes 3 minutes to create a temporary weapon, 35
minutes for a permanent. P.P.E.: 15 for temporary, 120 for permanent.

Flying Weapon: When a weapon is inscribed by these runes, it can be thrown,
or if a bow fired, three times as far as normal. Also the weapon or
arrow automatically returns to the user whether it strikes or misses.
This enchantment can be used in combination with either the create
magic weapon or supernatural slayer powers, but in the case of bows,
each arrow must be enchanted, not the bow. These weapons, unlike
other rune weapons, are NOT indestructable unless they are combined
with one of the previous powers. This power can be temporary or
permanent, similiar to the create magic weapon power. If this is
combined with one of the previous powers, the P.P.E. cost is
cumulative. Duration is 30 minutes per level of experience for
temporary weapons. NOTE: When combining with other enchantment
forms, you must use the proper form; ie. temporary with temporary,
permanent with permanent. You may not mix. Enchantments take 1
minute for a temporary, 15 minutes for permanent. P.P.E.: 5 for
temporary, 50 for permanent.

Imbue Weapon with Spell Ability: By using these rune enchantments, the rune
caster can grant weapons with spell abilities. This power like all
of the other abilities has two forms, but this one must be inscribed
in conjunction with either create magic weapon or supernatural slayer.
In the temporary form, this power allows the user to use the ability
once. The user of the weapon has until the other enchantment ends
(either create magic weapon or supernatural slayer) to use the imbued
power, or it is lost. In the permanent version, the power can be used
a certain number of times per day, depending on the power. The number
of uses may be doubled, but at triple the P.P.E. cost. Powers, the
P.P.E. costs, and the number of times per day they may be used, is as
follows:
Blinding Flash; 2/20; 5/day.
Circle of Flame; 12/60; 3/day.
Energy Bolt; 7/50; 3/day.
Fire Ball; 12/80; 3/day.
Fly as the Eagle; 30/80; 2/day.
Globe of Daylight; 4/40; 3/day.
Invisibility: Superior; 25/75; 2/day.
Levitation; 7/40; 3/day.
Superhuman Strength; 12/70; 3/day.
Superhuman Speed; 12/70; 3/day.
Teleport: Lesser; 20/100; 3/day.
Other powers may be available, but are rare. The temporary version
of this power can be used with either the temporary or permanent form
of the base enchantment (create magic weapon or supernatural slayer).
The permanent form can only be used with the permanent version of the
base enchantment. All enchantments require 3 minutes for temporary
runes, 40 minutes for permanent runes. A maximum of three powers may
be added to a weapon, and they all must be drawn durring the same
enchantment. ie. You must draw the runes for create magic weapon,
fire ball, and levitation must be drawn in one sitting. You may not
add another power at a later time. (Unless it is temporary cating in
which case you simply start again from scratch). Note: An increase in
the number of uses counts as a second enchantment.

Enchanted Armour: These runes, when drawn onto armour, either change S.D.C.
armour into mega-damage, or increases the M.D.C. of mega-damage
armours. Like most object augmentation runes, this series has both
temporary and permanent versions. When making an S.D.C. suit of
armour
into mega-damage the base M.D.C. is 80. It costs 25 P.P.E. for a
temporary enchantment, 150 for permanent enchantments. The M.D.C can
be increased for 2 P.P.E. per M.D.C. point for a temporary
enchantment,
or 5 P.P.E. per M.D.C. for permanent enchantments. If a suit of
armour
is already mega-damage, then it costs ten points to begin a temporary
enchantment, and then 2 P.P.E. per M.D.C. point. For a permanent
increase, it costs 50 P.P.E. to start and 5 P.P.E. for each M.D.C.
point added. Maximum M.D.C. for S.D.C. armours is 200. Maximum
additional M.D.C. for mega-damage armour is 200 or plus 100, which
ever
is more. Temporary enchantments last for twenty minutes per level of
experience. It takes 10 minutes to draw temporary runes and one hour
for a permanent enchantment. Add 1 minute for each M.D.C. point added
in a temporary rune structure, 5 minutes per point in a permanent.
This counts for both S.D.C. conversions and M.D.C. increases. The
legendary rune armour is created using the process. It is a natural
mega-damage alloy chain and plate armour, with 100-200 M.D.C. and
often
has special features as per the next enchantment.

Imbue Armour with Special Ability: This enchantment requires the enchanted
armour rune sequence as a base. After the runes are drawn for the
echanted armour series, these runes may be added to increase the
power of the armour. (Note: Powers do not have to be added all at
once, but each time a power is added, the enchanted armour runes must
be redrawn in order to allow the armour to accept the magic.) Each
power is described below. All powers may be permanent or temporary.
Temporary powers may be activated once.

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Other powers do exist, but are rare. These are the most common
abilities. (GMs and players may use these powers as a basis for
developing more powers.

Enchant an Object: This power allows the rune caster to grant magic to
normal objects. This power only has a permanent form. Any of the
powers from enchanted armour, imbue weapon with spell ability, and
imbue armour with special ability are available. Note: For objects
larger than 8 feet increase P.P.E. costs and time by 50% (ie. 100
P.P.E. and 30 minutes becomes 150 P.P.E. and 45 minutes). Special
objects are as follows:
-P.P.E. Battery I: This object usually takes the form of an amulet or
charm. The object can hold up to 300 P.P.E. at a time, for an
indefinate period of time. In order to add 1 P.P.E. point to the
battery the user must expend 2 P.P.E. points. On ley lines the
battery automatically charges at a rate of one point of P.P.E. every
five minutes, or at nexus points at a rate of one point every two
minutes. This item takes three hours to enchant. P.P.E.: 250.
-P.P.E. Battery II: This battery is similiar to the type one battery
only it is not charged by the practitioner of magic, it charges
itself. These batteries have a much smaller amount of P.P.E.
available. This item has a maximum of 80 P.P.E. points and it
recharges itself at the rate of 2 points per hour. At a ley line
the battery recharges at a rate of 10 per hour or at a nexus point
they recharge at a rate of 20 points per hour! It takes a rune
caster 5 hours to create this item. P.P.E.: 350.
Using this enchantment the mightiest of rune casters have created
rune ships! Rune ships typically appear like normal sailing ships,
but
they are covered by runes. They typically are mega-damage, possess
the
power of flight, and may have other powers of attack and defence built
in.

Rune Spells-> Note: These spells are identical to the spells of the same
name presented in the assorted rifts books, except where noted.
P.P.E. costs may differ (some spells are easier to cast with runes,
others are more difficult. Costs are listed beside each spell. Rune
spells are cast by drawing the runes in the air and by speaking runes
at the higher levels (8+). Those spells that may/must be cast by
using rituals are cast by enscribing and carving the runes into the
ground and or objects. Two spells may be learned for each slot
available. (Note: The runes are actually drawn in the air. Glowing
azure blue lines follow the casters finger forming the symbols. When
the spell is complete the rune either vanishes or flies out changing
into the spell effect.)

the more powerful rune casters even have rune spells for temporal
magic, but this is rare and nobody has all of the temporal spells
coverted (the most common is dimensional envelopes and pockets).
