Converting Cthulhu Tech?

[The Last Conformist]

It may be noted that the CoC writeups for Mythos deities are wrtten with human-level opponents in mind; you may have to tweak them to make sense when fighting similarly-powered entities.

Eg., the damage from Hastur's tentacles is listed simply as "death". Reasonable when fighting a human investigator, not so much when fighting other GOOs or giant mecha.

That was always one reason that I liked Palladium products...they aren't scared to give damage ratings like 2d6 x 1 million MDC which is equivalent to hundreds of millions of hit points...

Most other game companies would just laugh and say "Death", but not K. Simbieda...he says "millions of points of damage, hell yeah!"

I would say that GOO's would do thousands to millions of points of damage...and people thought there was no good reason for RIFTS It was made for battlin' 'Thulies!! (what we call Mythos critters in my house).

So the +13D6 damage bonus mentioned for Hastur doesn't factor into things?
