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.
