UPDATE: Be very aware of how to deal with heavy damage (MDC) both in how to resolve it and what weapons have it. Everyone is jacked up in RIFTS. Combat values (parry/toughness/damage/etc) are very high and keeping things flowing but still dangerous will be quite the balancing act. I would suggest things beyond just stand up fights to keep things interesting. I am going to start a new topic for issues and solutions that i am finding with this game as we go. It is true. Although for the most part foot troops usually don't have MDC weapons by default ( some do if needed ). Although it does make for some interesting situations when your Combat Cyborg walks into the thick of things knowing none of the bad guys has anything that will phase him.... I find I try to match up MDC bad guys with MDC heroes and nonMDC with nonMDC. The big one I have to keep track of, is the massive amounts of AP on some of the weapons and keeping track of what to ignore with armor and such. We are 3 sessions in and we are getting better, but it is an extra layer to keep track of.

Question, the AP of a weapon only removes the portion of the toughness number that comes directly from the armor yes? For example, Toughness: 20(12), the 12 being from armor, and an AP of 14 would only remove the 12 from the Toughness, effectively making the target number 8, correct?

Fantastic, that's what I thought. Also, I love that SW took their simple rules, and converted Rifts from mind boggling, to so easy, while still maintaining the flavor of the world. Special thanks to Mr. Siembieda for allowing them to do so also.

As per my recent email, no, we are not. But not for disliking the setting. My four armed combat cyborg needs to make a comeback.
