Continued from Part 1<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Working out how the numbers might be adapted from one system to the other wasn’t too hard, once I found out how the Attribute ranges are described in the original system.<\/p>\n

This is what I’ve been working with to help me get a handle on how adapted monsters and NPCs can be statted out.<\/p>\n

In original Rifts, unless I’m reading it wrong, attributes seem to generally top off at about 50 or so for the most godlike beings, so as a really general quick-and-dirty rule of thumb, I put a 30 as d12+1, then add another +1 for every additional 3 points in the original attributes. That would put an Attribute of 51 at d12+8, which is where, for example, the Super Strength chart in TLPG ends.<\/p>\n

That certainly isn’t perfect. A Flame Wind Dragon Hatchling in original Rifts starts with a P.S. of around 23 on average (3d6+12) and never gets to increase it until they mature to adulthood. Juicers, on the other hand, begin with a\u00a0minimum<\/em> P.S. of 22, one point lower than an average dragon, and can potentially go higher with a lucky die roll. The original system even states that Hatchling Dragons are comparable in strength to Juicers, Crazies, and Combat Cyborgs. But in Savage Rifts they’re a good two to three die types higher to start and can quickly get to d12+6 or more. So it’s very much open to interpretation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
