combat can get a little tiresome, however with the old paladium rules you could at least hit the person if you rolled high enough. Rifts took that away and now armor stops everything until it is destroyed.
I love the Rifts world though, as it combines D&D, Gamma World and a few other games into it. My preference is the technowizard. You get the best of both worlds, an understanding of technology and magic plus the ability to combine them to make things neither one alone can do.
