Except for the fact that ALL bonuses stack... But anyway. I wasn't too fond of a skill check that as soon as you reached an early level (5th-8th) most of your major skills were at 98%. That and you had to have a skill to do anything, so there are tons of skills. And of course, there was very little in the way of level increase except that your skills go up and your HPs go up. Then there is MDC. I won't even go into that one except to say that I don't care what your car/tank/robot is made of, one hundred AK-47s at point blank range is going to do a lot more than scratch the paint. Damage/ AR maybe. MDC, not so much. That and I have a hard time dealing with a Wilk's 300 hold out laser pistol that can vaporize a car. But I digress. *Rifts is a great world in my opinion and as stated previously, with the right DM and some inginuity, can make for an awesome campaign by using the setting as a general guideline. Most people, like previously stated, have converted Rifts to their own fave system. I myself have done Gurps and am working on d20. Just don't tell Kevin (by publishing it online), Palladium will shut you down quickly.*Note: Though I say this about MDC, there is something inherently satisfying about vaporizing a Sky Cycle pilot with a called shot from a Glitter Boy Boom Gun....</blockquote>
