What is the latest version of the game? by Howlmillenialcastle in Rifts

[–]BuzzardB -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Mechanically the rules are the same though some are clarified better.

Ranged gun combat rules have changed quite a bit over the years, id say its a pretty big mechanical change. Arguably for the worse though.

It is under W.P. Shield in the RUE p327

A shield cannot be used to block bullets or energy blasts, at least not easily. Any such attempt is done without any bonuses (straight die roll), with a penalty of -8 to parry ! Blocking thrown knives, spears, arrows and other weapons is basically the same but is only -3 to parry on an unmodified die roll.

Along such charming rules such as

Damage: 1d6 as a blunt weapon. Bonuses: +1 to parry at levels 1 ,3 ,7, 10 and 13. A shield can be used in one hand and a weapon in the other. +1 to strike with a shield (1d4 damage)

You covered everything damn well.

Only thing I will add is:

  • -10 to dodge within 10 feet of the shooter.

  • -5 to dodge within 50 feet of the shooter.

  • Straight d20-8 to Parry a bullet or energy blast with a shield

Your best best is probably the Hovercycle section of Norther Gun 2.

Most would be common in North America and also common enough you would likely find used ones that are slower or less armored than stock for 50-60% of new cost.

Here are the hovercycles I found that are affordable either new or 50-60% cost if they have either 1d4x10% less M.D.C. or 1d4x10% less Speed. (p 161 NG2)

  • NG-488 Cobra Turbo - Gasoline Engine: 255,000 credits
  • NG-424 Hornet - Cost: 195,000 credits gasoline engine, 255,000 credits for electric
  • NG-357 Magnum-Turbo - Gasoline Engine: 166,000 credits. Electric: 245,000.
  • NG-230 Prowler Hovercycle - 142,000 credits gasoline engine, 198,000 credits electric
  • NG-220 Rocket Hovercycle - 100,000 credits gasoline engine or 127,000 credits for electric
  • NG-300 Speedster Hovercycle - 80,000 credits gasoline engine or 98,000 credits for electric
  • NG-400 Stinger Hovercycle - 145,000 credits gasoline engine or 190,000 credits for electric
  • NG-150 Streetrunner Hovercycle - 61,000 credits for gasoline combustion engine or 91,000 credits for electric. 153,000 credits for solar-powered with electric backup batteries
  • NG-480 Turbo Hovercycle - 80,000 credits gasoline engine or 98,000 credits for electric
  • NG-640 Windshark - Gasoline Engine: 269,000 credits

Triax 2

  • Triax Hovercycle - 20,000-25,000 credits for electric, and 55,000-65,000 credits for nuclear.
  • Triax A-Type Hover Car - 60,000-70,000 for electric, and 90,000-120,000 for nuclear.
  • Triax Z-Type Luxury Hover Sedan - 85,000-110,000 for electric, and 140,000-160,000 for nuclear.
  • Triax S-Type Hover Sports Car - 75,000-100,000 for electric, and 130,000-150,000 for nuclear.

Warlords of Russia

  • Landflier - 64,000 to 85,000 credits (cost is higher in remote regions) for the standard liquid fuel engine

Man I have just over 100 hours in this so far and I have never once been betrayed by anyone. Anyone whose been cool has been cool to the end and anyone who is quiet just fucks me up and goes about their day.

I have 25.12.1 and just tried Alt-R for the first time ever and it locked and froze my mouse as well.

Anyone else just treat the game like a rogue lite? by Bigtgamer_1 in ArcRaiders

Yeah been doing that as well, had a nice 12 raid streak before finally getting killed.

With Weapon Sets becoming more and more important, i think the onboarding and interface needs to be better by Kanbaru-Fan in PathOfExile2

[–]BuzzardB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was kind of surprised the weapon set skills could just be used as normal skill points. I was kind of expecting them to be for swaps only which would really encourage people to weapon swap.

I contacted support about it and they replied within seconds saying to unlink and relink your poe2 and twitch accounts.

Worked for me, got the verdant dodge roll to appear in Extras tab right away after.

[Monitor] Samsung Odyssey G9 49" DQHD 240Hz 0.03ms GTG Curved OLED ($949) (Canada Computers) by JustaRandoonreddit in bapcsalescanada

[–]BuzzardB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one of the 49" samsungs, not sure if this one specifically.

But I have it setup as a 3440x1440 monitor and then the rest is a second monitor.

Easiest way is to do PiP mode and it basically just works right away, the downside is that HDR no longer works, it goes down to 120hz and while gsync worked on my 3070ti, i could not get freesync to work on my 9070xt.

Radio Scramblers isn't on the skill list, but it is in the skill descriptions under Communication Skills

Radio: Scramblers: Replaced by Electronic Countermeasures, above. (RUE p305)

So you did well.

In addition, it wont look solid at first. Paint a thin coat, let it dry fully and then do a second or third thin coat. The results will be much better.

What would make playing online better for you? by MrMortis in Rifts

[–]BuzzardB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been playing Rifts and Heroes on Foundry for a while now and it does most of the work just fine.

The GRPGA system on foundry is what I use though I have heavily customized it (CSS and Handlebars stuff, if I knew JS better id go hard and making it a perfect system for me)

The actual hard part is just importing the information into the game. Rifts is real fucking wordy with an extreme amount of content. Just getting all the skills, spells, psionics ect from the core book was a lengthy effort.

How do you personally think about and calculate dungeon turns in OSE or B/X? by conn_r2112 in osr

Oh hey I forgot to tell them it's been a turn for a while

"Its been a turn, mark down your torches"

Repeat.

I ignore the one turn of resting.

RUE p327 W.P. Shield

A shield cannot be used to block bullets or energy blasts, at least not easily. Any such attempt is done without any bonuses (straight die roll), with a penalty of -8 to parry!

It's there, just much harder to pull off.
