Hi there people, and a wery merry Christmas to you.
Now that i am disturbing you, i might aswell use the upotunity to ask
a cople of questions, about Rifts. You see, i just board the game and
some of us has bin playing it over X-mas. First this is conserning
vibro-blades, when using a vibro-blade do you also aplay damage bonus
gaind from high strengt?.
Second: Dragons, do they also get there strength bonuses in adition to
there maga-damaging claw and bite atacks? What is the shape of there
breath weapon, and how wight is this ad the end.
Third: Is it true, that borgs dont get eny extra atacks, in adition to
there high speed and agility?
Forth: We have bin playtesting the combat rules a litle, and found
that, eather we are doing somthing wrong or the rules about energy
weapons are a litle out of proportions. Exempel: When fireing bursts
with a C-12 laser rifel the damage is 4d6 x number of shots, witch
can range from 1 to 30 with a long clip, and 60 if the canister is
emtyet to, so the total dammage is 4d6x60 or app. 840 Mega-damage.
Compaired to railguns this is WAY out, or am i reading someting wrong.
Fifth: dos eny of you know if there are other books fore the Rifts
world, than the rulebook.
sixth: If a first level mage gets ahole of a 15. level spell, vil he
be abel to cast it, providing thad he has enogh P.P.E?

Thats all for now, hope you didnt mind the switch of subjects from
Shadowrun to Rifts.

Yours
