I did not have some of the authors names in the files I downloaded, if you know the correct author, let me know and I'll be sure to credit them in the next version. - Morpheus (morpheus@teleport.com) Sixteen of these new OCCs and RCCs were designed by Michael J.Best (CaptMJB@aol.com) and compiled, edited and posted to the Internet by Jason Stephenson (jjstep00@ukcc.uky.edu). 6 of these OCCs and RCCs are from coalition_data.txt by demoniac@aol.com the rest of the material in the file is located in Appendix A. Though I've reformatted this file to fit into this book, and done some formatting changes to the tables, no data has been omited from the original file. 5 of these OCC's are courtesy of Jason Bridgman submitted directly to myself. Editor's ranting about format: The only format I will ever do anything in is ascii text. Why? Its universal. When I logged on BBS's with my macintosh the only files I could download were ascii (off the IBM boards). Now I have a Bad ass computer and I can translate practically anything, whether its Word for Windows (yuk!) or RTF or whatever, uuencoded, zipped, gzipped, binary, I can convert them all. What do I convert them to? ascii. If you don't like ascii... too bad ;) Version History yeah I know this is lame but it shows what this poor file has been through. 1.0 - 35 OCC/RCC's 1.1 - 43 OCC/RCC's 1.11 - 43 OCC/RCC's reformatted with line breaks 1.12 - 55 (or so) OCC/RCC's 1.13 - 65 (or so) OCC/RCC's (My first OCC in this one) 1.14 - 72 (or so) OCC/RCC's with new Table O' Contents format (My second OCC) 1.2 - Last version before I gave it up. 1.21 - Unofficial version... I don't know how you got it, consider yourself lucky 1.5 - I forgot who I handed off the official release to, so I decided to add all the submissions I've recieved, and realized how huge this was getting so I gave it a version number of 1.5 Won't go to 2.0 until I fit all these Damn CC's into a single format. ============================================================================= Table O' Contents [103 OCC's and RCC's] * Adept OCC.............................................Matthew L Jinkerson * Anti-Magics RCC.................................................Dan Hicks * Asternog RCC..................................................Shawn Woods * @ Beat Cop OCC.............................................Matthew C Cutter * Beyond Cyber Knights...........................................DaBeechMan * Borowitz Giants..................................................Dustin M * Bio-Organic Centaur RCC........................................David Rich * Caller OCC...............................................Beecher Greenman * Cambion RCC................................................Jason Bridgman * & Coalition Centurion OCC..........................................Demoniac * & Coalition Commando OCC...........................................Demoniac * Coalition Death Knight OCC......................................Mike Best * & Coalition Entertaiment Specialist.OCC............................Demoniac * & Coalition Inquisitor OCC.........................................Demoniac * Coalition Psi Sam OCC......................................Author Unknown * Combat Mage OCC.................................................Mike Best * Combat Psionic OCC..............................................Mike Best * Crimson Warrior...............................................John Willis * Crystal Dragon Hatchlings RCC.................................John Willis * Cyber-Farie...............................................Carl Blackstrom * Cyber-Ranger OCC................................................Mike Best * Cyber-Runner OCC...............................................DaBeechMan * Cyber-Warrior OCC...............................................Mike Best * Daemonite RCC..............................................Author Unknown * Dark Elf RCC..................................................Gil Jyhaud? * Darter RCC......................................................Mike Best * Death Dragon RCC.....................................................Sean * Death Seeker OCC.................................................Morpheus * @ Detective OCC............................................Matthew C Cutter * Diabolist OCC...............................................The Alchemist * Dragon Rider RCC................................. ...........Kelsey Seale * & Duster OCC.......................................................Demoniac * + Ean / Rune Lord RCC........................................Jason Bridgman * Enhanced Biocontrol and Response Soldier EBRS OCC...............Mike Best * Eternal Knight OCC.............................................DaBeechMan * Fairie Dragon RCC...............................................F M Brown * Fighter Pilot OCC..........................................Jason Bridgman * Genetic Cleanser RCC.........................................Brian Player * Genetically Engineered Neoteric Humans G.E.N.S..RCC........Steve Lombardi * Genetically Enhanced Man G.E.M.

In the course of development I tried very hard to create a new mage aspect without going beyond the bounds of equality amoung the initial three magic character classes. If for your game you wish to make changes to this O.C.C. or have any questions, feel free to make those changes, or write me at: jinkerso@student.msu.edu. Experience points/level: Same table as a Mystic O.C.C. P.P.E.: P.E.+(2D4*10)+2D6 per level. Standard Skills 2 Languages +15% Wilderness Survival +10% Pilot: Hover Craft +5% Lore: Demons & Monsters +10% Math: Basic +10%, Literate +10% Plus 7 other skills (req. 1 science,1 technical) available areas are: communication (radio only), Electronics (Basic), Medical (first aid), Physical (except Wrestling and Gymnastics.), Pilot +5%, Pilot related +3%, Rogue, Science +10%, Technical +5%, WP (any), Wilderness +5%. Plus select five secondary skills (without plus). Powers: 2D4 spells initially. 1. Sense ley line and magic energy - This power is somewhat similar to the psi-stalker and mutant dogs. The line walker can see and feel the presence of magic. Sense ley line nexus - The walker is able to feel whether there is a ley line within the area of his sensing abilities, 10 miles (16 km) per level of experience, and can tell whether it is near or far. He can also follow the feeling to locate the ley line at a skill level of 30% +5% per each additional level of experience. Sense a rift - The mage will automatically feel the sensation of a rift opening anywhere within a 50 mile area (80 km) +10 miles (16 km) per each additional level of experience. Although he can not tell exactly where this rift is, the walker will know whether it is near of far and whether it is big or small. Sense magic in use - The expenditure of magic in the form of a spell, rifting, or techno- wizardry can be felt, up to 100 feet (30.5 m) away per every level of experience. The will not know the location nor be able to trace it, but he will feel its energy and know that magic is being used in the area of his sensing range. 2. True Sorcery - This unique magic user invents new spells as he/she needs them. Creating spells that may or not be similar to those spells listed in the books, if not similar, the GM will have to deterime the P.P.E. required, range, damage (if any) and description for the spell. Step 1: Character determines the desired effect that he or she wishes to accomplish. Step 2: The GM determines what power, spell, etc... best accomplishes the desired effect, and assigns rank (level) to the given power (record and save for future reference). Step 3: Character rolls dice to determine the length of time needed to invent the spell. The creation time of the spell is directly related to the level of the spell wished to be created. Creation time is 2D4 melees + 2*(level of the spell) melees extra. For example if an Adept wished to create a spell of 5th level it could take anywhere from 12-18 melees depending on the roll. When the Adept begins the creation, he/she goes into a meditative trance. While in this state the character cannot take any other action other than a slow walk (no dodge, parry, etc...). However, the Adept is aware of his surrondings and can cancel the meditation at any time, resuming action normally. If the meditation is broken at any time the Adept shall have to resume his meditation from the beginning, as the spell is not imprinted upon the Adept's memory until the end of the meditation. This does allow the Adept to create new spells as he/she needs them, provided all spells have not yet been chosen, but finding the time to do so in combat can be tricky. Step 4: The Adept casts the newly acquired spell for the first time ever. This initial casting requires two times the normal amount of time to cast the spell. If the Adept chooses he/she can negate the penalty of the double time in casting the spell, by expending 10 P.P.E. extra for the first spell. All spell casts after the initial time can be accomplished at the normal rate of time. Normal casting time for spells: Levels 1-6: 2 spells per melee. Levels 7-10: 1 spell per melee. Levels 11-15: 1 spell every 2 melees. Step 5: Add the spell to the Adept's personal list of spells for future reference which can now be called upon like any ordinary spell cast by most magic users. Limitations: 1. The character can never learn magic like a normal mage, instead he/she must develop a similiar one. 2. These spells are all personal, they cannot be taught to other magic users. 3. Can only create 2 spells a week plus one per each level of experience. 4. Can only create 4 spells per each level of experience plus one for each level of the Adept, per year. For example if a 1st level Adept had not advanced for two years he/she could have up to 10 +2D4 spells available to him or her. Bonuses to Save: +2 vs Horror Factor Weapons: Standard Other Equipment: Standard Vehicles: Standard Credits: Standard ============================================================================= Anti-Magics An R.C.C. for Rifts by Dan Hicks These beings are similar, in that they are able to simply negate magic! Alignments: Any Attributes: All 3D6 O.C.C.'s: No practitioners of magic, tend towards fighters XP Table: Use dragon experience table Hit Points: Standard S.D.C.: Normal as per O.C.C. Horror Factor: 13 to creatures of magic when they realize what they're fighting P.P.E.: 3D4*10+40 to start, +1D4*10 per level Natural Abilities: Unless noted, these powers cost no P.P.E. to use. 1. Negate Magic The Anti-Magic can negate magic at a rate of 1 of his P.P.E. to 4 outside P.P.E. 2. Impervious to Hostile Magic Just like it sounds, hostile magic directed at the character either fizzes out, misses or some else happens 3. Negate I.S.P. The Anti-Magic can negate I.S.P. at the same rate as P.P.E. (see above) 4. Negate Magical Creatures By directing his P.P.E. towards a magical creature he is touching, the Anti-Magic can do 3D6 damage/ P.P.E. point/round to a supernatural creature, such as vampires, were beasts, dragons, faeries. Generally anything which can't survive without magic is effected by this. 5. Change Magical M.D. to S.D. Any magical attacks which do M.D., such as a dragon's punch, a rune sword, is done in S.D. to the Anti-Magic. 6. Negate Magical Attacks This is like #1, #2 and #4. Any attack which couldn't exist without magic but isn't physical, dissipates upon hitting the Anti-Magic, doing no damage. Example: A dragon breathes fire at an Anti-Magic and his friends behind him. The fire strikes the Anti-Magic and dissipates, doing no damage to anyone. Example 2: A basilisk tries to petrify an Anti-Magic. The beams strike and dissipate, doing no damage. Attacks per Melee: As per combat Damage From Special Attacks: See abilities Average Life Span: 90 years Value: 80 billions of credits Habitat: Anywhere Language(s): Any as per O.C.C. Enemies: Supernatural beings Allies: Weak humans Size: human Weight: human Notes: This is my first R.C.C. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to send them to hsdan@aol.com. Also, don't tell people you made this. After all, this is my first. ============================================================================= Asternogs R.C.C. Born of the stars, beings of pure cosmic energy, no fear, no emotions, and no friends. One continual message, passed down throughout there existence, gives them reason to live, DOMINATION!!! Asternogs or Asteronians, as somtimes called, feed off of the energy radiating from the stars of the universe. They reproduce sexually and offspring are placed in the interior of a star. There they grow and mature until they unleash themselves on the universe. Domination of all beings seems to be their main instinct and they rarely have an feelings toward any other being. Usually they travel alone searching for prey to either conquer or digest. Food is there only means of survival, and somehow it uses the gases from the breakdown of food particles and gives their bodies any particular gas needed to function. They need to feed every human week and any living or non-living tissue can be consumed. Their appearance is very intimidating. The average Asternog stands 10 feet 6 inches. They can fly at velocities of up to 1,000 mph and sometimes faster when pissed off. Their physical build is that like a humans, they have two arms and two legs. The head is large with one eye in both the front and the back. Ears are relatively small but still have remarkable hearing skills. Their skin is green for males and blue color for females. Both sexes are equally powerful but the females seem to be a bit stronger overall. And fight ferosiously. Attributes: IQ 6, MA 5, ME 4, PS 7, PE 5, PB 1, SPD 6 (or 7 if female). P.P.E.: 5D6x10 Mega-Damage/Hit Points: 1D6x100 + 10 M.D.points Armor Rating: Skin is M.D. substance and is impervious to all normal weapons. Magic and Psionics inflict 75% effect. Natural Abilities: Fly 1000m/h, see invisible, and bio-regeneration 1D6x10 M.D, hit points every three minutes. Eye Incinerator beam: 6D6 MD, range: 1000 feet.

Note: (When used, the dismanteler collects all stored power from own body losing amount of damage inflicted) Claws: 3D6 MD Bite: 4D6 MD Photon Detonator: 5D10 MD Note 1 : (When attached to target it explodes after 3 melee rounds) Note 2 : (When the bomb is on its specific target the target character can attempt to disarm it by rolling a 20 sided dice. 1-7 Disarm successfully 8-10 Disarm but lose 10 MD points 11-14 Lose 1D4x10 MD points 15-19 Disarm successfully 20 Bomb goes off and lose 2x MD points inflicted Psionics: Master Psionic: player can choose up to ten psychic powers from any category.

It is possible to advance still further, but it is not easy. First, there are 3 paths to choose from : Cyber-Paladin, Cyber-Avenger, or Defiler (which, as any Cyber-fighter histori an knows, was the original group from which the Cyber-Fighters sprang). The following applies to all of the "Super-Cyber-Knights": -After reaching Level 15, the Cyber-Knight must spend 2 years in training in wh ichever new path is chosen. -All of the paths use the Ancient Chiang-Ku XP Table. The difference in XP is gained through the training so that the new Super-Cyber-Knight begins anew at L evel 16. -Gains 1 secondary skill each level due to heightened concentration and mental abilities. In addition, all restrictions on skills are lifted. -Gains the following bonuses: Add 1 to all mental attributes, add 3 to all phys ical attributes except PB, and cannot become a vampire. Also gains an awe fact or of 10. -At the end of the 2-year training period, the Cyber-Knight goes into a week- long trance. During this trance Lord Coake appears to the Cyber-Knight in a vision. When the Cyber-Knight awakes, all cybernetics, bio-sytstems, and bio- wizard ENHANCEMENTS (if a new limb, eye, or whatever was simply cloned because it had to be, it is not affected) are GONE with the exception of Cyber-Armor with full MDC restored. In place of the cybernetics are normal, living, human parts. From that point onward, the Super-Cyber-Knight may NOT get any more enhancements. If such an enhancement is necessary (to replace a lost limb, for example) it is allowed under the following conditions: it may NOT be enhanced (a perfectly normal version of what was lost,) it MUST be bio-wizardry or a bio-system (though the latter is somewhat reduced in efficiency; -1 to all physical atributes for that limb,) and its attributes cannot be above those of the original.) CYBER-PALADIN: REQUIREMENTS: PS 20, PE 18, Good or Unprincipled Alignment MAGIC: At Level 16, starts with no spells, but may purchase and learn any spell s he/she wants. Gains 2D20 PPE immediately and 1D10 every level thereafter up until Level 26. PSIONICS: Choose 1 from Super (except, of course, for Psi-Sword) and 2 from Hea ling. Gains 1d10 ISP and is considered a Master Psionic. POWERS: 1) Psi-Blast: The Psi-Sword of a Cyber-Knight becomes a new, terrifying weapon. While it cannot be kept "up" like the Psi-Sword, it is deadlier. A column of glittering psionic energy fires from the Cyber-Paladin's hand, first going out and then back in like a psionic yo-yo. This counts 2 melee actions. DAMAGE: Unchanged from Psi-Sword at Level 16, add 1d6 MD at Levels 17, 19, 22, 24, and 26. 2) Can use the psionic Healing Touch the same as the psionic power WITHOUT using ISP. This may only be done once per 24 hours, and it temporarily drains1d4 SDC from the Cyber-Paladin. CYBER-AVENGER: REQUIREMENTS: 20 in all physical attributes, anarchist or evil alignment (this includes Aberrant) MAGIC: See Cyber-Paladin PSIONICS: Gains Bio-Manipulation and 3 of choice from Physical. Gains 1d6 ISP and is considered a major psionic. POWERS: 1) Physical Psi-weapon: The Psi-Sword can become a psionic version of any weapon the Cyber-Avenger wants, but it must have a physical core (a Psi-Chain must have a real chain, a Psi-Pistol must have a real pistol.) This physical core may not be changed once chosen, and the core must be used in conjunction with the weapon (if the core is stolen, TOUGH!) The advantage to this method is that any weapon with ammunition no longer needs it to shoot (a big plus for energy weapons.) DAMAGE: Same as for Cyber-Paladin. 2) Gains the ability to incite fear in any creature (horror factor 19) once per 24 hours. Like the Cyber-Paladin, this action drains 1d4 SDC from the Cyber-Avenger. DEFILER REQUIREMENTS: at least 20 in all attributes, any alignment MAGIC: At Level 16 gains 10 spells of choice from any level 1 to 6 and gains 1 new spell per level. Gains another 6d6 PPE. PSIONICS: 2 Super psionics (once again, not Psi- Sword) and 5 from any other cat egory. Gains 2d20 ISP, master psionic, +4 to save vs psionics POWERS: 1) Can use both the Psi-weapons of any Cyber-OCC (except for the Paladin and Avenger's weapons; those weapons are unique to those OCC's.) DAMAGE: Unchan ged at Level 16, add 1 die of damage (D6 for sword, D4 for bow, and so on) every other level. NOTE ON PSI-SWORD: A Defiler's Psi-Sword can be thrown 15 feet and it will return. This does the same damage as the Psi-Sword, but it costs 2 melee actions to throw it 2) Gains Nightvision 50 feet A Beyond Level 15 OCC by DaBeechMan E-mail me with any questions. Enjoy!the bonuses. Choose an addtional 2 at leve ============================================================================= BIO-ORGANIC CENTAUR RCC (Note: The Races from Jolsun are very powerful, but they work!)

Attributes: I.Q. 3d6+2, M.E. 4d6 M.A. 3d6+4 P.S. 16/28(base) P.P. 12/14(base) P.B. 20(base) Spd. 132(base) +3d6 discretionary points to divide between P.S., P.P., and P.B.. Points must be divied by each individual score in the cases of P.S. and P.P. the first is the upper humanoid torso, the latter for the equine portion. For each point not spent in this manner the player may opt to spend it on a 1d4x10 per point basis(thus 2=2d4x10, 3=3d4x10 and so on.) Spd=Mph can be found on p.252 of the RIFTS sourcebook. Size: Approximately 7-8.5' from hooves to topknot and around 9-11' long. Weight: Roughly 1 ton. Description: A BIO-ORGANIC race that hails from a dimension called Jolsun that is near to all others. Being this close had caused a lot of RIFTS that pulled samples of many races into it. These races took this as a sign from their gods that this was their new home and to live with it. Thus it began, the races had lived quite peacefully for a while and as usual the humans got bored and started wars. The Elders saw this happen-stance and were shocked, yet sickly amused.These Elders watched their people slay each other and began to take sides. Then a wise young God named Auhms (pronounced all-ms), who was Lord of machines and Dwarves, introduced BIO-ENGINEERING and enhancements.Soon everyone had been "enhanced" and peace eventually restored with the Wisdom that sometime comes with advancement.(NOTE:Being BIO-ORGANIC they may still reproduce) Appearance: Think of a powerful robot horse that has a flesh humanoid body that attaches to the neck of the horse at the waist of the afore mentioned humanoid torso. M.D.C.: The Enhancements increased everything including their stamina, and the energies involved make them Major Mega Damage Creatures. Horse Body: 450 Torso: 320 Horror Factor: 12 (Awe do to extra-ordinary looks, wears off in 1d6 melees.) Enemies: Non per se. Allies: Any one else in their Clan.

Psi-Bow same as Psi-Sword(p.126) 10 I.S.P. 2,000' range. Eagle like vision. Heals 3d6 MD Per Portion per day. Metallic parts regenerate and powered by sustenance as is the rest of the body. May use Rune Weapons, and Techno Wizardry. Special Disadvantages: Size causes difficulty in hiding Weight causes a -30% to Prowl. Must take individual fighting styles for each half. Must have Robot Mechanics, Electronics, and an MD in Cybernetics to conduct at least First Aid, unless of course they're from the same clan then First Aid is all that is neccessary..

The Borowitz are giant psychic humanoids from another world. Yet while they are massive and powerfully built beings, they are not supernatural in nature. Despite what most smaller folk may think, the Borowitz are not plodding, dim-witted brutes. They are very intelligent and have keen minds, even though they are not very charismatic and tend to speak brutishly. All Borowitz have an intrinsic love for games, both mental and physical. Disputes even between mortal enemies are handled through gaming competition, whether it be athletic, intellectual, or psychic. They often view other races as being "un-civilized" because others are so quick to strike up arms against both friend and foe alike, when the entire matter could be so easily settled in "Personal Gaming Competition." Worshipping no gods, the Borowitz have an almost religious devotion toward their Elders. Their society is organized around a family-unity type of structure. Each of the scores of different Orders are lead by a council of twelve Elders. Each Order is composed of dozens and dozens of Clans, all of which headed by their council of Elders. By tradition, every Clan in the Order has a specific occupation. Every Order has its own Clan of merchants, warriors, engineers, etc. The bitterest of competitions arise from clans competing with similar occupational clans in other orders. Every fifteen years, the occupational Clans from dozens of Orders will hold great Olympic- style competitions, each trying to out do the other. Alignment: Any, however the vast majority are anarchist, unprincipled, and scrupulous. Regardless of alignment, all Borowitz are 100% loyal to their Order. Attributes: The number of dice rolled is as designated: I.Q. 3D6, M.E. 4D6, M.A. 2D6, P.S. 4D6+10, P.P. 3D6+2, P.E. 4D6, P.B. 2D6, Spd 3D6. Their P.S. and P.E. are considered to be at the supernatural level on magic supercharged environments such as RIFTS Earth and Wormwood. Hit Points: P.E.*5 +2D6 per level of experience. S.D.C.: 2D4*100 on RIFTS Earth plus those gained from O.C.C.s and physical skills, making the giant an equivalent light mega-damage structure (every 100 S.D.C. equals one M.D.C.). Horror Factor: 11 P.P.E.: 6D6 Natural Abilities: Exceptional long range vision, night vision 40ft, heals ten times as quickly as normal, and is naturally resistant to both magic fire and magic cold (does half damage). Additionally, these giants's natural psychic abilities are made even more powerful on RIFTS Earth. Bonuses: +3 to save vs Horror Factor in addition to those gained from attributes, O.C.C., and skill bonuses. Damage: Restrained punch does 4D6 S.D.C. plus P.S. bonus, full strength strike does 2D6 M.D., power strike 4D6 M.D. (counts as two attacks), and a kick does 3D6 M.D. Magic: By O.C.C. only. Psionics: All Borowitz giants are considered major psychics. Select five Physical psionics and any three additional psionics from the categories of Healing, Physical, and Sensitive. At levels three, six, nine, twelve, and fifteen select one additional psionic from those categories. At levels four, eight, and twelve select one super psionic. O.C.C.: Virtually any O.C.C. (except Glitter Boy), including the CS Military (equivalents). Skills of Note: Speaks and is literate in Borowitz, and Troll, and speaks Gobblely, all at 98%. Knows one extra ancient W.P. in addition to O.C.C. skills. Also add +5% skill bonus to all Wilderness skills due to their natural aptitude in that area. Average Life Span: 250 years. Habitat: Can be found anywhere. Considered a monster or D-Bee on RIFTS Earth. Enemies: Generally indifferent to most, however they view most short folk with disdain. Allies: Non per se. May associate with anyone. Physical Appearance: These beings are massively built humanoids. Their skin colour varies in shade from a dark golden honey to a light brown. Their limbs are unusually long, resulting in a more gangly appearance. The most noticeable difference that separates them from most other giants is the fact that they are not cannibals! Size: 12ft (3.63m) plus 6D6 inches. Weight: 400 to 900lbs (180 to 410kg). Notes: Borowitz tend to be surprisingly civilized, although they are more aggressive toward smaller or weaker beings. They have quickly adapted to RIFTS high technology and have a passion for vibro-blades and other weapons that show the full extent of their skills.

Enjoy! ============================================================================= Cambion RCC CAMBION ALIENS -------------- The Cambions are a human-like race from fairly deep within the Thundercloud galaxy. They are the main force in a group of planets known as The Collective of Free Planets. The Cambion home world is situated in a stange solar system. The only thing that is contained in this solar system is the sun, Cam Solim, the planet Cambi Prime with its five moons, and a spacial anomally much like a black hole or worm hole. The hole, which has been named the Vortex, is the only thing which orbits the sun. This means that the planet of Cambi Prime orbits the Vortex! More precisely, the planet is caught in the Vortex, but surprisingly seems to be stable and in no trouble of falling in. From the earliest records of the Cambions it seems that the planet has always been there, or it has been there at least since the Cambions arrived. The Cambions were probably humans once, but millenia of living on the edge of the vortex has altered them making slight differences. NOTE: Cambions make up almost 45% of the Collective. See "The Collective" for more information. Cambions are almost identical to humans in appearance, except their skin has a dusky grey tinge and their ears have a slight point. Hair colour is normally black, dark brown, or white, with other colors existing but very rare (red hair is considered a bad omen, and usually coloured). Alignment: Any, but typically good. Attributes: I.Q. 3d6+1, M.E. 3d6+3, M.A. 3d6, P.S. 3d6, P.P. 4d6+3, P.E. 3d6+1, P.B. 3d6, Spd. 4d6 Size: Five to seven feet tall. Weight: 100 to 250 pounds. M.D.C.: By armour or magic only. S.D.C./Hit Points: Standard+30, and double normal hit points. Horror Factor: None. P.P.E.: 4d6, unless magic O.C.C. Average Life Span: 180 years. Natural Abilities: Nightvision 40 ft and immune to radiation. Also have near perfect hand to eye coordination when piloting vehicles, add +10% to any piloting skills. Psionic Powers: Standard; basically the same as humans. Magic Powers: Only if a magic O.C.C. is selected. Combat: Normal; varies with skills. Vulnerabilities/Penalties: None. O.C.C.s: Virtually any! Most lean towards fighter pilots and other pilot classes. The Cambions discovered magic about fifty years ago from a highly magical race that the FWDC discovered (actually elves). Cambions have taken well to magic, and are especially favoured towards Techno-Wizardry. The Cambions also have a special class, known as the psi-pilot. These are people with ambient psionic powers, that develop a highly specialized form of telemechanics for the use of interacting with vehicles. In the last 25 years the Cambions have shared this knowledge with other races, and it has recently appeared among pilots in the CCW, making Turbo-Jockeys very jealous. Alliances and Allies: The Cambions work well with all of the races in the collective, and are also friendly with most of the races near the colective that were not destroyed by the insectmen. They are also forming a treaty with the CCW, and are friendly with any race with a "goodly" disposition. ============================================================================= Coalition Centurion O.C.C. The Coalition Centurion is a combat specialist who is trained to work with Inquisitors. Primarily, they aid the with investigations, although they are also used as a highly visible police force. Centurions are an elite group, numbering even less than the Sea Wolf oceanic units. They are usually arrogant and ruthless in fulfilling their duties, especially when dealing with non-humans. Centurions will occasionally be deployed as members of regular fighting groups, but will mostly serve with the Inquisitors. Inside the Coalition States, the sight of a Centurion will often bring some fear and uneasiness into the hearts of criminals. The sight of a Centurion is usually the first sign of a major crackdown of Coalition law- enforcement. They are part of the Coalition police forces, but are principally the enforcers of the will of the Inquisitors. Centurions begin their career at the rank of Sergeant, although they are not bound to obey orders from superior officers unless they have been assigned to a regular soldier's unit. Although it is not a requirement, at least 55% of all Centurions are minor and major psychics. Telepathic individuals are valued highly and placed with psychic sensitive Inquisitors. Attribute Requirements: P.E., P.P., and I.Q. 12 or higher O.C.C.

Centurions may select 10 skills, of which 2 must be Espionage and 2 must be either Science or Technical. Gain additional skills as follows: 2 at level 3, 2 at level 6, 2 at level 9, and 1 at level 12.

Conventional military vehicle of choice (motorcycle, jeep, hovercycle, etc) for daily use. Centurions are also issued a standard Legionnaire's suit of power armor. Equipment Available Upon Assignment: Centurions are allowed to commandeer any vehicle in the execution of their duties, but they are typically assigned a modified Coalition Sky Cycle which has 35% more armor, and have an integral jet pack on their body armor. Money: Centurions are given a roof over their heads, food, clothing, and all other basics provided as part of their pay, as well as access to all Coalition facilities. They also receive a monthly salary of 2350 credits, beginning with one month's pay. Their quarters are identical to those for military specialists. Cybernetics: None to begin with, but implantation is not restricted. Centurion xp table: same as CS Military Specialist demoniac@aol.com ============================================================================= Coalition Commando O.C.C. The Coalition commando is a highly trained, combat-oriented specialist whose job is to act as counter-insurgent and counter-terrorist. These soldiers are deployed under the command of Coalition military specialists, and are used extensively as members of long-range patrols outside the borders of the Coalition States. They are also deployed as members of reactionary units within the Coalition States to quell uprisings or other threats to the Coalition States. Due to the speed and efficiency that Coalition commandoes carry out their assigned tasks, they are known as "Swifts" both within and without the Coalition States. All commandoes begin at the rank of corporal. Attribute Requirements: P.E., P.P., I.Q., and M.E. 10 or higher. O.C.C.

Equipment Available Upon Assignment: Vehicles include SAMAS power armor, Spider-Skull Walker, Enforcer UAR-1, other robot vehicles, conventional military vehicles, hovercraft, jet pack, tank, APC, and aircraft.

Note: All weapons and equipment are given out on an as needed basis, with the commanding officer deciding whether or not the item(s) is really necessary or not. If the officer doesn't like the character(s), the availability of items may be extremely limited. Money: The commando gets a roof over his head, food, clothing, and all other basics provided free as part of his pay, as well as access to military facilities.

Cybernetics: None to start with, but implantation is not restricted. Commando xp table: same as CS Military Specialist demoniac@aol.com ============================================================================= Coalition Deathknight OCC (Elite Infantry) During Proseks improvements in the army, he came up with an idea. Take the best Raw recruits and put them through a year of training that would make hell look like fun. There is an amazing 54% fatality rate in the training! None the less, it has created the ultimate unit. Dedicated, trained, and most definitely lethal. If that wasn't enough, they are given a dna modifying virus that enhances their attributes (as if they weren't high enough all ready). Note that Prosek has made this OCC available only to men. This is following with his idolization of Hitler, who didn't like women in his spec ops units. Note: Because this unit is new, no member is currently above 3rd level, and none are older then 19. Attribute Requirements IQ:14, ME: 17, PS: 17, PE: 20, PP: 17, SPD: 14 Training Bonuses +3 PS, + 6 PE, +2 PP, +2 SPD, +40 SDC, +1 attack per melee, +2 save vs. Horror Factor +1 roll with punch/impact, +1 dodge, +1 strike (hth and ranged weapon), +3 save vs. psionics, +5 save vs. Mind Control, +1 save vs. Poisons Gene Engineered bonuses +4 PS, +4 PE, +2 PP, +4 SPD, +50 SDC, +1 attack per melee, can lift 2x person of normal strength. Needs only 6 hours of sleep. Can stay alert and ready for up to 3 days. PPE: Standard Magic: None ISP: 2d4 Psionics: Because of their unusually harsh and training, they have the natural ability to, twice daily, do either Impervious to Cold, Impervious to Fire, Nightvision, or Summon Inner Strength. They can also use the powers Resist Fatigue, Resist Hunger, and Resist Thirst indefinitely. These are not true psionics, so they require no ISP to do. It is possible because of the ultra- intense nature of their training. All of these are the equivalent of a third level psionic. Healing: Because of their DNA modification, they recover 2d6 SDC/HP every 2 hours. Power Punch: The Power Punch of a Death Knight does 1d4-1 MD (if zero, its still the equivalent of 50 sdc damage) Senses: The Deathknight has senses that are as good as a human can get. Even if they had an impairment before, the DNA modification changed that. This is represented in their training bonus.

Has 1d4x1000 Credits to start with. Cybernetics and Bionics: Player can have up to 2 bionic implants (excluding limbs, but including hands), and/or 5 cybernetics implants.

If for some reason it would be become available, where talking 2 to 3 million because of its scarceness. Colors: Solid Black Note On DeathKnights These characters, including PC's, are 100% LOYAL TO THE CS. There are NO exceptions. You're probably saying "Why, surely one of them would want to defect." Let me explain something. Neither myself nor any of you out there could possibly understand the bond between Deathknights. We have neither the honor, nor the experience required to realize just how strong this bond is. We're talking a bond that, in all likelihood, could transcend even Death itself. There is no such thing as a traitor. This is, admittedly, part of their genetic code, but it goes beyond even that. GM's take note, THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS! This means there alignment is ALWAYS aberrant. A OCC and armor for RIFTS by Palladium Books Created and Written by Capt MJB (Mike Best) ============================================================================= Coalition Entertainment Specialist O.C.C. Coalition entertainment specialists are a small and select group of people who couldn't quite cut it as soldiers, but are still dedicated to the cause of the Coalition. Rather than not use these men and women at all, someone had the bright idea of creating a new position for these people. Thus, Coalition recruits who are better suited for fun and games instead of combat are intensely trained to become entertainment specialists. They are sent to remote outposts to help bolster the morale of front-line personnel, and are occasionally sent to help "break the ice" when the Coalition is negotiating to annex new areas. The entertainment specialist has gained the nickname of "Gomer Boy" from fellow Coalition troops, and this is the name that outsiders tend to refer to them with. Cruel officers will sometimes assign a Gomer Boy to a SAMAS RPA Elite officer, just to see the Sam suffer under the attention of the Gomer Boy. Note that Gomer Boys can be either male or female, and are pretty much permanently stuck at the rank of corporal, much to the dismay of the Coalition Grunts, who sometimes take orders from the Gomer Boys. Attribute Requirements: P.P. 10 or higher. O.C.C. Skills: Radio: Basic (+10%) Pilot Hovercraft (+10%) Robot Combat: Basic Read Sensory Equipment (+10%) Weapon Systems (+10%) Running Acrobatics Juggling Sleight Of Hand (+15%) Disguise (+15%) Imitate Voice (+15%) W.P.

These additional areas of knowledge do not get the bonuses listed in parantheses. Also, skills are limited (any, only, none) as previously indicated in the list. Standard Equipment: Coalition "Dead Boy" body armor, Gomer Boy beanie helmet, various inflatable things, various stage magic items, energy sidearm of choice, four extra E-clips, survival knife, robot medical kit, pocket computer, utility belt, uniform, combat boots, canteen, and additional non- energy weapon of choice. Gomer Boys invariably use a flashy, multi-colored, garish-looking hovercycle that catches the eye of everyone and everything it passes. Usually has a few wind-driven noisemakers attached as well, for that added touch of the absurd. Equipment Available Upon Assignment: Vehicles include conventional military vehicles, hovercraft, and jet packs. Most weapon types, extra ammunition, camera equipment, sensory equipment, and food rations for weeks. Also has access to vehicle and equipment repair. Note: All weapons and equipment are given out on an as needed basis, with the commanding officer deciding whether or not the item(s) is really necessary or not.

Entertainment Specialist xp table: same as CS Grunt demoniac@aol.com ============================================================================= Coalition Inquisitor O.C.C. Within the ranks of the Coalition States is a secretive band of internal police known as the Inquisitors. They are the shadowy figures in the background who appear from nowhere to deal out justice to wrongdoers. An inquisitor is an extremely well-trained and highly motivated individual who operates slightly out of the normal chain of command. An inquisitor answers to no one in the military hierarchy, and instead follows only the commands of the highest echelons. Likewise, they cannot legally issue orders to the military, but their soft-spoken "advice" is usually followed to the letter. However, they are commonly allowed to commandeer units up to squad size to aid in the capture of criminals. The inquisitors serve as a preventative measure against insurrection and unrest among the populace, as opposed to the more reactionary stance of the military. Their mission is to search out rebels and eliminate the threat they pose to the survival of the Coalition States, and thus to the survival of the human race. Inquisitors are not restricted in the methods that they may use to roust terrorists. Indeed, they are highly rewarded for creativity in their pursuit of dangerous criminals. They also command a special military cadre known as Centurions, who aid them in their investigations. It is a unique phenomenon that the inquisitors actively recruit psychics. Their paranormal abilities allow them to discover bad elements in Coalition society that much easier, and add to the fear and mystique that accompanies their profession. As a result, 75% of all Inquisitors are major psionics, and are so heavily indoctrinated into Coalition beliefs that they would never consciously betray the Coalition.

At Level 5, the Combat Mage gets the Psi Sword super psionic, but it costs 2x the normal amount of ISP and lasts for only 3 minutes per 4 levels of experience. At Level 7, the mage gets the Psi-Shield ability, but it only lasts for 1 minute per 5 levels of experience and it only ever has 45 MDC. ISP is 2d4x10+ME at level 1. Add 2 per additional level of experience. Saves as a Master Psionic. Magic At first level, the character has 2d6x10+PE PPE. Add 3d6 per level of experience.

Vampire MD attacks to SD if they are in direct contact with the Combat Mage. This means vs. Armor and MDC protection spells and psionics, the attacks are still full MD, but against the skin of the mage, they're only SD. Finally, by using all his melee attacks, a Mage can permanently remove 1d6 HP/SDC from a vampire. This damage is never healed back by the vamp., and it can kill a vamp. If the vamps HP falls below -30, but it would take to long unless the vamp. is properly restrained. On the same hand, if the vampire that the Mage harmed by this method kills the Mage, it gains back all the previously permanently lost HP/SD The Combat Mage and Dragons When a Combat Mage is fighting a dragon, the dragon's MD attacks on the mage's skin react just as the vampires MD attacks do, they convert to SD. The Combat Mage and Other Supernatural Foes When other supernatural foes but the above 2 fight a combat mage, they're attacks against the skin of the C. Mage are reduced by 1/2. The are not converted to SD and the minimum for a MD attack is 1.

All known suits of CW armour are accounted for by NewPic. Renegades exist, but these are rare and generally hunted down. In general Crimson Warriors are much like GBs, except much more patriotic. They are proud, brave and noble, the defenders of their people. Alignment: Any but generally Good. NewPic military forces cannot have a criminal record so most are good or Unprincipalled. Atribute Requirements: P.P. 12, I.Q. 10, P.E. 12 or better Appearance: Crimson Warrior armour is decribed below. The pilots must be healthy and fit. Enemies & Allies: Same as NewPic. They have neutral relations with the CS, friendly with Traix and hate demonic legions like Atlantis Starting Equipment: Crimson Warrior power armour with full weapons Any light body armour Energy rifle and 4 E-Clips 6 signal flares, survival knife, utility belt, air filter & gas mask, walkie-talkie, three uniforms, dress uniform, boots, canteen, first aid kit, and personals.

Experience table: Same as GB Jonathan Willis Jean@Voyager.co.nz Fidonet 3:771/850 Crimson Warrior Power Armour --------------------------------- This type of power armour is depicted on the cover of Aliens Unlimited. It stands about 8 feet tall, fairly short and squat compared to other PA. Its armour is a dark crimson colour (due to the construction, and this can't be painted over ) with four grey spheres on the chest, and two grey cones protrubing from the back. Model Type: Gamma Technologies GT-4 Class: Heavy Assault Power Armour Crew: One pilot M.D.C. By Location: Main Body - 820 Head - 350 Legs(2) - 350 each Arms(2) - 300 each Reinforced Pilots Compartment - 100 Phase Rifles(2) - 120 each EMP Mines(4) - 60 each Speed: Running 45 mph maximum Leaping or Flying is not possible Statistical Data: Height - 8 feet 4 inches ( 2.5m ) Width - 5 feet ( 1.5m ) Length - 6 feet ( 1.8m ) Weight - 1.4 tons fully loaded Physical Strength - Equal to a P.S. of 35 Cargo - Space for all the pilots possessions, but little more. Power Systems - Unknown, average energy life is unknown but greater than 20 years Black Market Cost: Not available. If a CW armour was to become available it would go for 200 million or more, plus NewPic would go to great lengths to retrieve it. Weapons Systems 1. GT-4.1 Phase Rifles These characteristic weapons of the CW armour fire high volt, phased electrolasers. Duplicating these weapons is the subject of much research at NewPic. Primary Purpose: Assault and Anti-Armour Secondary Purpose: Defense Weight: Built into the armour Mega-Damage: Inflicts 1d6 x 10 M.D. to mechanised opponents, plus pilots suffer 4d6 S.D.C.! The electrolasers are conducted straight through even M.D. insulation and protection. Fires straight through force-fields ( magical, psionic or otherwise ) inflicting damage only to the physical body. Rate of Fire: Equal to the pilots hand to hand attacks. Bursts and sprays are not possible. Maximum Effective Range: 4000 feet Payload: Effectively Unlimited 2. EMP Mines The CW also carries a set of mines on the shoulders. These mines operate on a similar principal to the phase rifles. Mega-Damage: 1d6 M.D. plus pilots suffer 6d6 S.D.C. Same as Phase Rifles. Blast Radius: 120 feet! 3. Hand to Hand Combat Same as a GB. 4. Sensr Systems of Note The CW uses a virutal reality interface. The pilot must have a universal headjack, and once plugged in can use any of his normal senses, including touch, taste, smell, sound and sight. Also get equivalent to multi-optics, radar, motion detection, and all the normal robot features. John Willis jean@voyager.co.nz ============================================================================= Crystal Dragon Hatchlings RCC Otherwise known as Diamond Dragons or Glitter Dragons, these magnificent beasts are incredibly beautiful, and hunted for their priceless skin. Crystal Dragons are fairly rare. They resemble normal dragons, except their skin is a brilliant reflective surface like a diamond, giving them the benfits of Laser-Resistnt armour. This skin is usually white/translucent but can be blue, red, green, black and virtually any other non-metallic colour. Crystal Dragons aren't as tough as other species of dragon, but still very powerful on a human scale. Attributes: I.Q. 6 M.E. 5 M.A. 5 P.S. 3 P.P. 4 P.E. 4 P.B. 7 Spd. 5 P.P.E.: 1d4 x 10 + 20 Mega-Damage: 1d6 x 50 Armour Rating: Skin is a mega-damage substance that is imperviosu to normal weapons. Magic, Psionics and most mega-damage weapons have full effect. The shimmering skin of a Crystal Dragon is laser resistant, so lasers and any light based attacks do half-damage. Natural Abilities: Nightvision 90 ft, see the invisible, resistant to fire and cold, can bio-regenerate 1d4 x 10 MD every 5 minutes, and is never blinded by light regardless of intensity. Fly 50mph ( 80 kph ) Wings are laser immune ( no damage from laser attacks ) and can be used to parry such attacks ( +3 to parry ) Aura of Light; The dragon can generate a bright blindly white light around itself. No damage ( unless Vampire or similar, then 4d6 ) but opponents within 40ft are -8 to strike, parry and dodge while the light is in effect and 1d4 melees afterwards. Opponents within 120ft are -4 to strike, parry and dodge while the light is in effect. Super-Nova; as a last resort the dragon can explode in an intense thermo-nuclear fireball, inflicting 2d4 x 100 MDC on everybody within 200 ft and 1d4 x 100 MDC on the dragon itself. Psionics: Major Psionic, select any 8 powers from healing, physical or sensitive, and 2 super psionic powers except Mind Wipe, Psi-Sword and Possess Others. ISP 3d6 x 10 Magic: Full understanding of Magic, but can cast no spells until 3rd level.

How he talked a band of faries,close to 500, to be transformed into mystical cyborg's is unknown. He was fasinated by using the faries inhertant P.P.P to power their mystical cybernetic implant's. By sacrificing their magic powers and some of their natural powers the faries have been changed into powerful, if small, cyborg's Even though most these faries enjoy their new powers some have been having second thought's about their transformation and are searching for Doctor Articulus to have him change them back. (these are the most common to be found on Rift's Eart) Basicly these faries have been changed from happy go lucky pranksters to serious little tank's.

A mere 20 Years ago (Circa 83 P.A.) the Cyber-Rangers appeared. A sort of super wilderness scout, the Rangers are the stealth and senses of the Cyber trilogy. They are silent and can make normal wilderness scouts seem as natural as Chi-Town. Training: The Cyber-Rangers have probably the hardest training of any of the three Cybers. Their training begins at age 10, and continues until age 20. They must be taught by a Cyber Ranger of at least 7th level. Word has it that Lord Coake himself encouraged this branch's creation and helped in its separation from the Cyber-Knights. Use the Dragon Experience table. Alignment: Any good or selfish. Attribute Requirements: IQ 9, ME 12, PS 10, PP 6, PE 14, Spd 7 Psionic Powers Roll a 1d10.

It does 1d4 MD at level one, 1d6 at level 3, 2d6 at level 6, 3d6 at level 8, and 5d6 at level 13. Effective range is 500 feet. If character chooses this, he automatically receives WP Targeting. 2. MDC Being: Drop all HP/SDC and the character becomes a MDC being with 3d6+1 MDC. Add 1d4 MDC at levels 5, 8, and 1. All Physical skill SDC bonuses are DROPPED. They do not become MDC. 3.

Enhanced Abilities: Add 2D6 to PE, 2d4 to PS, 1d6 to PP, 1d4x10 to SPD, 1d4 to ME and IQ, 1d6 to HP, and 1d4x10 to SDC (These latter two become +2d6 MDC if choice 2 is chosen).

The object being placed will not go with in a 1/2 inch of the character. No matter how hard or fast it is being pushed/going. This does not affect other characters cyber- or biosystems. Only ones that are being put in the Ranger. Code of Honor: Defend the Weak. Protect the Innocent. Help the Needy. Slay Evil. Protect INNOCENT animals (this does not include intelligent species, they fall under the Help Needy clause). ============================================================================= CYBER-RUNNER OCC DESIGNED FOR USE AS AN NPC VILLAIN None of the -Runners likes or even respects the Cyber-Runners, or CR's. To call any other -Runner a CR is an incredible insult, and will likely get the one who said it killed. CR's are ruthless, uncaring souls who seek only to destroy the other types or -Runners and anything that stands in their way. Their powers are gained by way of a techno-wizard cybernetic implant so powerful that even the hyper-phobic Coalition has looked into these. CYBER-RUNNER ALIGNMENT: The C-Runner will have eight personalities, one of each alignment. To see which one comes out at any one time, roll 1d20. On a 1-19, the diabolic personalitiy will surface, On a 20, roll 1d8 and consult the table SURFACING PERSONALITY TABLE 1=Diabolic 2=Abberrant 3=Miscreant 4=Anarchist 5=Unprincipled 6=Scrupulous 7=Principled 8=Diabolic The number that is rolled corresponds to the personality that surfaces. Note that only the Diabolic and Miscreant personalities can use the CR powers, but each personality is only aware of the other (the Diabolic personality will NOT let the Miscreant personality out because "he's a wuss." The Miscreant personality considers the Diabolic personality out because "that guy's crazy.") The other personalities, however, are aware of all the other personalities and usually (50% likely for anarchist, automatic for others) will feel guilty for the havoc the evil personalities bring about. NONE of these personalities will let the Diabolic or Miscreant personalities surface if they can help it. REQUIERMENTS: none BONUSES: +3 to all attributes PSIONICS: Psi-Sword, Psi-Armor, Bio-Manipulation, all kinds of -kinesis, Hypnotic Suggestion, Telepathy, and Death Trance. Permanent ISP 500 MAGIC: None. PPE 6d6 SKILLS: As for former OCC, but gains Pilot Robots & PA (what's honor to a CR?) MONEY: These guys are greedy beyond all human belief. Often, the typical CR (which, I will stress again, is a VILLAIN and should NEVER be used as a player character,) has at least 20 million credits and 100 million in black market items. GEAR: Varies from CR to CR, but ALWAYS has: a suit of power armor, various kinds of rune weapons, usually several robots, and a whole lot of other valuable stuff. FRIENDS: Evil personalities: Splugorth and Coalition Other personalities: Anything else (note that Abberrant counts as an "other" personality) ENEMIES: Evil personalities: Anything that could be considered a friend of the other personalities Other personalities: Splugorth and Coalition ENHANCEMENTS: Any A villain for RIFTS by DaBeechMan Email me with your questions. Enjoy! ============================================================================= Cyber-Warrior OCC About 80 years ago, the Cyber Knights emerged. What no one knew was, about 60 years ago, an off shoot of the Cyber Knights occurred also. Called the Cyber-Warriors, they are similar to the Cyber-Knights, but more concerned with raw combat. They were also mostly Unprincipled. Their numbers remained few (less he 100) up until 5 years ago. Their numbers have since tripled and are still growing (Only nowhere near as fast). The Cyber Warriors are all good, but a good comparison between the Cyber Warriors and Cyber Knights would be the Knights of Camelot and the Rival Cavaliers. The Warriors are a rowdy bunch who love a good scrap and never back down. But their nowhere near as civilized or intelligent as the Cyber-Knights. Training: Unlike the Cyber-Knights, all the Cyber Warriors have do is train with a high level Cyber Warrior for 2 years. He teaches them all they need to know.

On a 0 (10), the character gets the Psi-Axe AND chose 1 power from each of the categories (Not including Super). ISP is 1d4x10 +2 per level of experience and the character is considered a Major Psionic. Powers Psi-Axe: Similar to the Psi-Sword, the Psi Axe is more powerful. It follows the same rules of it looks reflect its user. The starting MD is 2d6. Add 1d6 at levels 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 13, and 15. Special Bonus: Add a one time bonus of plus 1d6 to PS, PE, and Spd.

There was originally a mistake in sending the Daemonites and Kherubim (their arch enemies) were sent to earth. It was a small number of each race transported. Both integrated into the earth society and prospered. The Kherubim had good intentions, while the Daemonites sought to conquer the earth. They slowly built their numbers and sought out a way to bring their kin to earth in order to conquer it. The Daemonites were not very successful in their quest until the time of rifts. The Daemonites are magical creatures who gained strength and confidence with the rebirth of magic on the earth. With this new found strength and power, the Daemonites set their plan in full gear. They utilized their unique power to gain strong warriors and to discover ways to find their home world. The Daemonites continue to work to find their home world. When and if they do, they will call forth all of their forces to conquer earth and all the connecting realities through the rifts. The Daemonites are not super powered or super strong creatures. It is there amazing ability that sets them apart and their devotion to the cause that motivates the entire race to succeed. The Daemonites can possess and take control of any being. This process is painful and destructive for the victim, while quite rewarding for the Daemonite. The Daemonite gains all the abilities and skills of the victim while retaining its own psyche. The only ways to remove the Daemonite are through exorcism, or by killing the Daemonite and victim. The frightening part about the Daemonite's ability is that they may possess any person that they want. They can possess the regular "Joe" or a Splugorth. Any person that they possess is under their total control. The only limitation is that they may possess only one being at a time. They must also possess intelligent life forms.The Daemonite race as a whole has a sick obsession with the conquering of worlds and the destruction of other races or complete control over them (especially the Kherubim). Throughout the world, Daemonites are driven by their obsession and live with no code; merely to conquer. *Information based on ideas and characters of Jim Lee's "WildC.A.T.s," Image Comics Typical Daemonite All Daemonites fall into the same general class. There appears an unspoken hierarchy of strength and intelligence who step up to lead the mass destruction. Alignment: All of evil alignment, possibly anarchist. Attributes: IQ-3D6+2, ME-5D6+2, MA-3D6, PS-6D6+2 (supernatural), PP-4D6+4, PE-4D6+6, PB-1D6, Spd-4D6 MDC: 1D4x100 Horror Factor: 14 PPE: 1D6x10 Weight: 250 to 400 lbs Height: 8 to 10 feet Average Level of Experience: 1D4+4 Natural Abilities: Possession- the Daemonite may possess any intelligent creature. By doing so, it gains all the abilities and skills of that creature. The Daemonite knows all magic, psionics, powers, etc. associated with the victim. The Daemonite retains its own psyche and doesn't know the memories of the victim, only his skills etc. The Daemonite can only be removed through exorcism or by killing the victim and Daemonite together (usually the Daemonite will abandon its host before it dies). Exorcism of the Daemonite causes 5D6 MDC damage to the creature and temporarily stuns it (loses one attack, no initiative). Night vision- 400 ft. Note- The creature's strength does not come physically, it is in its ability to take over powerful beings and control them. Most often when left out of its host, the Daemonite will run and fight at a later time, with a powerful host. Combat: Five physical attacks, or number of attacks of host body (only if greater). Damage: Claws do 3D6 MD, Bite does 2D6 MD, 5D6 on power punch, Critical strike on a roll of 19, or 20. Bonuses: +4 to dodge and parry, +2 to strike, +4 vs horror factor, +2 vs psionics. Invulnerable to a vampire's bite, or other forms of transformation. Magic: PPE 1D6x10, none. Psionics: ISP 1D4x10; Bio-Regenerate (self), Mind Block, Alter Aura, Sixth Sense R.C.C. Skills: Basic Math (30%), Radio Basic (+20%), Cook, Disguise (+10%), Tracking (+15%), Intelligence (+10%), Prowl (+10%), Wilderness Survival (+10%), plus select one piloting, two WP's, 1 Science, and two Physical. Also any skills of the possessed victim. Physical Appearance: A tall pinkish-gray humanoid. It is hunched over and has an elongated head with large sharp teeth. Large hands with big claws on each finger are connected to long strong arms. A small pair of arms is located underneath the first pair. These are extra claws for damaging foes. The two legs are thin and quick. Daemonites are very hideous looking. They are seldom seen in their natural state, for they are usually in possession of someone else's body. Seldom will wears body armor in natural state. Average Life-Span: 3000+ years Insanity: Multiple exorcisms can lead to insanity. Each time it takes place, after the initial time, roll on the following table. 01-20 Frightened, will run from the chance of being exorcised, when it feels its losing. 21-40 Frightened of psychics, will never possess one and will not ally with one. 41-60 Never will possess someone again, would rather die. 61-80 Loves it, will almost invite exorcism upon itself. 81-00 Frightened of Daemonites, will hunt them down to kill them, still evil. ============================================================================= DARK ELF RCC DARK ELVES DISCOVERY Eons and Eons ago before the fall of the Old Ones, the animosity was beginning to be felt. As a precautionary measure the old ones create a race of Half Elves. They were a Hybrid of the first elfs and of Dragons, they appeared to be normal elves. They became the Avatars and Knights of the Old Ones. They were the Purest of all the races. They knew they had power, but they couldn't harness it because of there masters -- The Old Ones. As the Animosity and Tensions grew, so did the daringness of the Dark Elves. Then without warning the Dark Elves turned there backs on the Old Ones. They did this Hours before there slumber, it is rumored that the Dark Elves may have been there true Killers. They will never talk about that time. The years that followed proved to be the Golden Age for the Dark Elves. They Built Mighty Empires and became a major force, but there numbers were small, only perhaps 100,000. Then came The Great Awaking when there Evil Finally Began To Leave Them, This only Happened to Three-Quarters though, they called them selfs the "Dea Simil'rians" which is Translated to "High Elves". This started a great war Between the Mor'drow Simil'rians and The Dea Simil'rians. This almost destroyed both races. The Mor'drow's have learned to accept the Dwarven nations due to a certain trait they share with a majority of them, Elven Hatred. Now The Mor'drow number may be as high as 15,000. But no matter how many there are they are Evil. Ala'raz Azure Tek'laus Scribe of the Arcannus Notes Taken By Ala'raz about 10 years ago in a dimension that was up For Arcannus takeover. Day 25 of Observation I write from a Dimension we will call De'Alps it is a fairly advanced dimension. They are composed of 7 Kingdoms all Under there own Kings, but they answer to a head of Dimension, they call him De'alps Lucard Di' Dead' Dor. He is a powerful Priest and Mage of an Unknown Religious order, it appears to be an off shoot of the Dragonwrite religion. Day 35 of Observation I write now from a hidden Elven alcove in a forest just 25 miles north of Lucard's Palace. I was hunted down the last 7 days. Some how or another Lord Lucard has a copy of my first Note. My Inquiries to the Arcannus Circle still say the take over is still going to happen. Day 48 of Observation Battle!!!! The Invasion has started i now fear for my life knowing that within the first day of battle the death count ratio is 10:1 favoring Lucard. This appears to be the first down fall of the Arcannus. Day 50 of Obsevation After a Discussion with some of the rebels on our side i have come to the conclusion that the Arcannus Must leave, I fear Lord Lucard and his Noble men are Dark Elves.

Natural Abilities: 1. Mesmerize: This power is sort of like the spell the King priest of Istar uses in the Dragonlance Legends series. People remember the horror and fear of seeing the Dragon but won't remember the exact details of the Dragon. 2. Death Sense: The Dragon is able to sense, through the use of PPE, where there is going to be major amounts of deaths occurring. This sense does not tell exactly where or when it is going to happen or who is going to die. It is more like a force that pulls the Dragon to the place of oncoming death. 3. Soul Trap: This is not what the rumors make it out to be. Instead of entrapping the soul, it absorbs the released PPE that creatures emanate upon death. This is different that most other creatures that use PPE to function, instead of only using a small amount of that released energy and having to use it right away, the Dragon will store all the released energy and can store for up to 2 months. Their is a limit to how much PPE the Dragon can store, the limit is 800 PPE. There are two ways the Dragon can use this PPE: PPE Discharge: This is the release of all the stored PPE at one time. This discharge inflicts 1D6+10 MDC to the Dragon itself. Once it leaves the Dragons body if forms an oddly shaped 50 foot ball of energy that can only go in a straight line for 2,000 feet: 1st 500ft. is 3d6x10 MDC to anyone hit 2nd 500ft. is 2D6x10 MDC 3rd 500ft. is 1d6x10 MDC 4th 500ft. is 4d6 MDC PPE Withdrawal: The scales can hold the PPE for up to 2 months, and while this the Dragon can use the PPE anyway it wishes. Once a Dragon reaches 5th level it is able to manipulate PPE even better than before. It is able to mold PPE into a solid object that resembles anything the Dragon wants it to look like. The object can walk and do simple tasks. But the creation is actually a shell of what it is made to resemble, it can't talk or think, and it shall die out after a month. The Dragon has total control over his own creation. Cost to create one is 100 PPE. 4. Smoke of Anger: If the Dragon is running low on PPE or hasn't come upon any deaths yet it will probably resort to this attack in order get more PPE. If a character fails a roll vs. spell at -4 then they fall into a rage, attacking anything it sees except the Dragon. The smoke cloud is actually a very fine mist that covers a 100ft radius for 1D6 rounds. 5. Feed off PPE: When people die their PPE is released from their body. PPE is doubled at time of death. The dragon is able to absorb any PPE within a 100ft radius. Death Dragons don't like ley lines or Nexus points. This is due to the fact that their scales overload in their attempt to absorb all the PPE If the Dragon is to close to a ley line (500 ft) it will eventually die. 1st minute: Dragon is slightly dizzy -2 to strike, parry, and dodge 2nd minute: Burning sensation on Dragons scales 3rd minute: Pain increasing Dragon takes 1D6x10 MDC 4th minute: Pain intense take 3D6x10 MDC 5th minute: Roll vs. unconsciousness take 3D10x10 MDC 6th minute: Roll vs. Death take 6D10x10 MDC 7th minute: Dragon explodes If dragon dies at any stage his PPE will be released at triple the range and damage of the PPE Discharge ability. Also blast is not in just one direction it occurs in all directions, their is no chance to dodge this blast. 6. Nightvision with a range of 1000 ft. Skills: Same as all other Dragons (see page 98 of Rifts book). Psionics: Dragon considered a minor psionic due to their inability to manipulate their powers so that they can gain powers. The powers that they had at birth are the only ones they can have. Pick 7 from the following list: Deaden Pain Detect Psionics Induce Sleep Alter Aura Mind Block Telekinesis Astral Projection Empathy Clairvoyance Mind Block See Aura Sense Magic Sixth Sense Telepathy Empathic Transmission Hypnotic Suggestion. Spells: At 1st level knows all 1st and 2nd level spells along with the following spells: Energy Bolt Paralysis: Lesser Blind Fire Bolt Life Drain Call Lightning Agony Fire Ball At 2nd level can learn 10 new spells from 3rd and 4th level At 4th level can learn 5 new spells from 3rd through 5th level At 6th level can learn 3 new spells from 3rd through 7th level At 8th level can learn 3 new spells from 3rd through 8th level At 10th level can learn 2 new spells from 3rd through 9th level 11th through 15th level can learn 1 new spell between 3rd and 12th level. Note: The Dragon ABSOLUTELY cannot learn any teleport spells or any spells that have to do with rifts or dimensional travel. Physical Description: Dragon is all black when fully charged with the exception of a white skull shaped blotch on its chest. When either empty or not totally charged the color of dragon will be different shades of gray. Length: 25ft. Height: 15ft. Weight: 6 tons. Wingspan: 70ft. Physical Attacks: Bite: 1D6x10 MDC Punch: 5D6 MDC Tail: 2D6x10 MDC Stomp: 6D6 MDC Body Ram: 2D6x10 MDC Claws: 6D6 MDC Dragon considered an expert in HTH combat with +1 to strike and +2 to parry and dodge. Average Life Span: 10,000 YEARS. Achieves adulthood at 1,000 years of age. Allies: None Enemies: Fellow Dragon, besides that nothing considered a threat. Background: The Death Dragons are the rarest and most mysterious of all Dragons known to mankind. They have been seen only a few times in the last 5 years. When Death Dragons are seen it is usually over a battlefield or over a town that will be destroyed. That is how Death Dragons got their name. They seem to be harbingers of destruction; wherever they go death seems to follow. This makes Death Dragons look like evil beasts that kill people and suck their soul into a hellish imprisonment. These rumors are somewhat true, but due to people's fear have grown out of proportion. It is not entirely impossible to hear tales of villages leaving at the sight or rumor of a Death Dragons nearby. If you ever managed to talk to a Dragon about Death Dragons, they seem indifferent and won't answer your question. The Death Dragons are from the unknown planet Dragii. The planet is nearing extinction due to the overpopulation of Death Dragons. Fortunately for the Death Dragons, a Shifter happened to come across Dragii through a Create Rift spell. The Death Dragons killed the Shifter immediately. The Death Dragons, using the last of their PPE, were able to keep the rift open long enough for a few hundred to escape to Earth. The Dragons they left behind will probably die within 50 years unless they are able to find a way to get off the planet. ============================================================================= Death Seeker OCC by Morpheus (morpheus@teleport.com) This is a special OCC that replaces the former one, not by player choice but by the choice of the GM (If you're a player and you really want to play one... you know how to bug the GM ;) * Note this OCC's main purpose is for Role Playing, and redefines the course of a characters development dramatically. all skills, experience, cybernetic options etc.. remain the same however if the character does not alredy have psionics the character gains minor psionics in the sensetive category. ISP starts out a ME + (3d6 X 10) A Death Seeker is a character that has had a traumatic event happen to them during the course of the game, ie: a lover murdered, their village torn to shreds while they were away etc.. The Death Seeker then starts to see visions, and these visions reshape the characters life, maybe add powers, but in any case the Death Seeker has a specific task to accomplish whether or not they realize it, but the GM knows. Unfortuneately for this character this task will mean certain (unavoidable?) death to the character: this is known as the Death Bond. The period of time between this event and the creation of the character can be determined by the GM... it could happen at level 3 or level 13, the longer the period of time that elapses, and the more the character develops the visions become clearer and the steps, people, and resources the Seeker needs to accomplish this task become defined. A Seeker may need a specific character to help accomplish his or her final task, in which case the seeker will first offer to help the other character to accomplish their goals. Or the Seeker may need a specific Item that is across dimensions.... etc... these are ways to incorporate the seeker into your campaign easily. When a death seeker dies, the character is reincarnated. Time is not a factor for this reincarnation, meaning that the "soul" of the character can travel into the past or the future. It is entirely possible for the new character to be ready to join the party soon after the Seeker dies... It also sets a stage for so many possible twists involving the seeker in his or her first form interacting with the reincarnated one, in fact a seeker might be avenging the death of his or her reincarnated form! The new character will have some memories of his or her past life as a seeker, but new OCC's/RCC's are chosen for the reincarnation, and the character starts out at a level between one and three. If the seeker had any special powers than those powers might be tranfered over to the reincarnated character. * Note the Death Seeker only gets reincarnated IF he or she can accomplish the specific task they need to do. The Death Seeker gains the following powers: 1. Sense upcoming death A death seeker is attuned to death so strongly that the seeker will know if someone in the vicinity is going to die in the next hour. The Death Seeker however stays very calm about it, feeling death is the normal ending of life and will in most cases do nothing to prevent the occurence from happening. This death that the Seeker feels is by no means assured, intervention on the part of another party often throws the seekers sense off kilter, and the seeker does not know who is going to die unless the Seeker has physical contact with that person. 2. Visions of tommorow A Death Seeker is sensetive to the mystical patterns in the universe many call fate. The Seeker's dreams are tormented, yet always give the Seeker some cryptic information on the forthcoming events of the next day. As time goes on the seeker learns to better interpret the dreams but the dreams become more and more cryptic... with one exception. As the Seeker approaches the time of the "propper" death those dreams become extremely clear. The Death Seeker may se his or her death as it actually should happen, or they might see something completely off, or anyehere inbetween.
