This is the firrst page of many that will deal with power armor creation. I hope you enjoy what I have created for the RIFTS universe.
First you need to figure out how much you want
your power armor to weight and then get a chassis.
Frame | Wpn Slots | Weight Max | Chassis Weight | Chassis Cost | Armor Limits (KDC)* |
Super Light | 5 | 1000 lbs. | 1/10 th total weight | 500,000 Credits | 1000 pnts |
Light | 7 | 1 ton | 1/10 th total weight | 1 Million Credits | 2000 pnts |
Medium | 9 | 3 tons | 1/10 th total weight | 3 Million Credits | 3000 pnts |
Heavy | 11 | 6 tons | 1/10 th total weight | 5 Million Credits | 4000 pnts |
Super Heavy | 13 | 10 tons | 1/10 th total weight | 7 Million Credits | 5000 pnts |
*KDC is explained on my page called New Rifts Damage Rules
So you want a bigger Power armor than 10 tons
well at this time go to the mech construction and create a mecha. All the
power armors out of the books I have except one (X5000 Devestator) are
classified as mecha. Although the X5000 Devestator is argued to be a mecha
in many circles. I've recently lost the book with the X5000 Devastator
so I believe it is over 10 tons if I'm wrong please let me know.
