House Rules:

Mortality: In the default rules, characters are pretty hard to kill, and I feel Rifts is a game that should give you at least a reasonable fear of death. As a result, I will be ignoring the typical rule that when rolling vs. Incapacitation or vs. Bleeding out that the maximum penalty is -3. Instead, you will suffer a negative reflective of how many wounds you have actually received. If you've taken 8 wounds, you will will take a -8 on these rolls. I will therefore not be using the Rifts Death and Defeat table, which makes it even easier to survive massive damage.

This necessitates some changes to at least two edges.

Hard to Kill: You may reduce the penalty to your Vigor rolls when saving against Incapacitation or Bleeding Out by half (rounding up). So someone that had taken 5 wounds would suffer only a -3 on these rolls vs. a -5.

Harder to Kill: You may ignore any wound penalties to your Vigor rolls when saving against Incapacitation or Bleeding Out.
