Wierd Character Ideas

As long as they act as one unit and stick together it should be easy to implement.

Yep, that's where I'd go. If you wanted to simulate some of the advantage of being able to cover more ground and/or more area, add in things like Hulking Size and Inhuman Speed. But we're not fans of the multiple action idea in general (though you could maybe bend that rule a little if you're doing this as a bad guy intended to "single-handedly" face down an entire PC group).

There is one for becoming a 4D being as well...

Can't take the credit on this one. Stole it from Erikson/Esselmont. In the Malazan books the shape shifters that have a single alternate form are Soultaken, the ones that can split into a pack or swarm are D'ivers.

God, I haven't played that game in years. I was so excited when I saw they had a 4th Edition book out. I'd hoped they'd overhauled the system, but no. It remained pretty much the same.
I always have loved the setting of Rifts, but that freaking system is pain.
The Codex:
have an Idea for a character but not sure if it is entirely workable.....
Edward Gales,
Descendant of Sir John de Galeis, illegitimate son of the Edward the Black Prince.....
What sorts of aspects would be suitable for a knight of the cross potential? (they are all decendants of Kings and the black prince was in line for the throne)
“Chivalry is in my blood”
With the exception of the sword there is no ‘specific power that the knights have, even Sanya states he is an atheist
I don't see him as a Lone wolf type at all, actually as a decendant of Royality possibly a leader of men, also a warrior and smart. (sort of a Robin Hoodesk, leading his men and working with them not dresden style, going it alone)
Anyway any thoughts would be usefull as I am struggling
PS this is my first post so please help the newbie ;D
