Introduction II
|
|
In This chapter, I am going to discuss some more advanced topics. So each portion might be a little longer because ill try to put them in simpler terms. Some topics to be covered is M.D.C and S.D.C., those are both armor and damage types, and some other Stuff. And of course the right part is allways there for clarification and some extra help.

Chapter II

[S.D.C.]
S.D.C.: Structural Damage Capacity damage points, these types of damage are on a human scale. They are not fatal but can be painful to your character(s). There is also a type of S.D.C. for inanimate objects, these objects only have S.D.C. and once that is elimenated the object technichally no longer exists. Hit Points: Hit Points are damage points that you character can withstand before dying, to determine your hitpoints, simply add 1D6 to your Physical Endurance (P.E.) stat. Once you get about 2 or 3 H.P. you go into a coma( the details are up to your GM ). If you hit zero you die unless otherwise stated by GM or a book.
[M.D.C.]
M.D.C.: Mega Dmamge Capacity Is similar to S.D.C. Only supernatural creature can have this, because humans can only have health in S.D.C. NOTE: Every 1000 S.D.C. = 1 M.D.C.. Another situation in which M.D.C. would be used is when RIFTS power armour, mecha, or any vehicle comes into play. These such armaments and vehicles have health in M.D.C., once that is depleated, the object is destroyed. Remember, S.D.C. is no where as strong as M.D.C. (look at conversion above), so here is an example to what would happen if S.D.C. damage was done to an opponent that has Armor in M.D.C.
--------------------------------------------------------
In a combat situation, there is character A and character B. Character A is doing S.D.C. damage to Character B, who has M.D.C. armor. The damage received by Character B would basically be void because of the fact that 100 S.D.C. = 1 M.D.C. So in this type of situation, it would be best to use a weapon that does damage in mdc rathar than of one that does damage in S.D.C. if the your opponent you are trying to hurt has health in M.D.C. When in a battle, if the M.D.C. health is reduced to 0, any damage incurred after that point would
go direclty to the character, unless there is another barrier
between the character and the damage. An example of such a barrier would be body armor.
