Conversion Notes: This package is based on the amazon race from Rifts role playing game. I based this package deal on the absolute minimum of abilities of a first level amazon. The Characteristics cost for the SPD takes into account the bonus from the DEX. All magical spell draw END from the P.P.E. Endurance Reserve. All psionic abilities draw END from the I.S.P. Endurance Reserve. This write-up uses Champions 5th edition rules.

Amazons are a racial offshoot of humans native to Rifts Earth. They come from the city of Manoa in South America. They can breed with humans, but if the offspring is female then they will grow up to be amazons.

All amazons have either enhanced psionic or mystic abilities. Those with enhanced psionics should buy psi-sword, psi-shield, 8 lesser psionic abilities and 5 extra points of Mental Defense. Those with enhanced mystic abilities should buy six total magic spells from levels 1 and 2 as well as 4 minor psionic powers. Amazons cannot choose an occupation or learn any magic outside their mystic abilities.

To learn more about the amazons, I suggest purchasing and reading Rifts World Book Six - South America by C.J. Carella.

Race created by Palladium Books.
