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 it?s 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 creature?s large size) PB 2d6 (hey, if you saw a gigantis T-0Rex outside your door, I doubt you?d 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 don?t 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 can?t use any of it except for food (can?t hold weapons, IRMSS and the like don?t 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 don?t really understand the principle of it either. They do love ?sparkly things? though, meaning anything shiny. Who cares if they don?t 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.
