I’ve only played RIFTS (Ultimate Edition, if it matters), but I’d be down to try Transdimensional TMNT.
I like playing dark characters, so if I had to pick one of the three Tarts, it’d be Ikra for sure. I’ve never played a shifter or any other RIFTS caster; would an Ashmedai (whatever that is) be simpler to play?
Here’s a rephrased table:
Twenty-five…
x16-40 : execute crucial strategy that saves the day x20-28 : face certain doom to protect others x 6-12 : prevail against dangerous threat x 4-12 : face peril to protect others x 8 : execute life-saving strategy (self + a few allies) x 4-8 : use reasoned deduction x 4 : act on an idea and succeed x 4 : be decisive x 4 : exercise restraint/pacifism x 3-4 : prevail against credible threat x 2-4 : be gutsy (savvy or not) x 2 : accurate intuition x 2 : be true to your character's nature x 1-2 : prevail against an annoyance x 1 : act on an idea but fail x 1 : try to put a skill to use
