Sorry, but from what I understand of Rifts, Rifts blows everyone else out
of the water with this whole Megadamage theory. If I got this right:

1MD = 100 regular damage points.

a tank has like 600 regular damage points, for example.

They have hand blasters that will do 1-10MD(!!!!) so you shoot a tank
with a lil' blaster and obliterate it. THAT'S munchkinism.
