WWII d20 Modern - Nazi NPCs

Well, I continue my quest for converting all these varous materials I acquired into d20 modern, so I thought I would share some of the stuff I did.

His handsome appearance is marred solely by his constant expression of superior disdain. He is fond of Turkish cigarettes.

Looks good what is the weapon stats for the MP40 Btw ?

Hey -- why does he have Armor Proficiency? Is that one of his feats from the Strong class?

Just seems rather ... unnecessary ... unless you're running a "near-reality" campaign where there's some body armor.

Who doesn't have d20 Modern but understands the principles.

Knight- I had, after posting, noticed a few errors (like his brawl damage, and the armor prof) and changed them. He no longer has armor, and instead goes with the good ol endurance.

DOB: 10th December, 1866
Nationality: German
Education: Imperial Cadet School, Vienna-Breitensee
Physical Description: Wiligut in his "Weisthor" days is a chubby man with a mottled, fleshy face, a thick prominent nose, deep bags under eyes, a severely-receding hairline with greasy black slicked-back hair and grey temples. After his resignation from the SS, Wiligut has become a gaunt, thin figure, his face drawn and wizened, bearing a shaggy white beard. He smokes like a chimney. The old man's health had failed in recent years, requiring him to take strong medications that caused his behavior to become erratic and his smoking and alcoholism to become more intense.

For most of those people I'd change the AL to the "Third Reich" to Germany.

Most of the German people were not Nazi's and most Germans fought for the Fatherland not the Nazi's, it was just that the Nazi's were in control.

In the case of direhard Nazi supporters like the SS and Party Memebers, I could see useing an AL to the Third Reich but not in the case oy your avrage german grunt.

I second that. Many probably were just soldiers that did what they were told - either because they thought that's what a soldier did or because of what happened to enemies of the regime (my grandfather's parents were opposing it, and he and his brothers and sisters spend their childhood in several orphanages, and I think one of them has even been gased. Not anything you like to happen to your children. Or your brothers and sisters)

I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter what their AL says. They will be wearing a Nazi uniform, the PC's will see them on a map as an opponant, and will attempt to kill or trick them. Simple stuff really. Who cares if their AL is Germany or the third reich or whatever.

Thanks for the info A, are you going to do this as a stright WW2 game or have mystic elements ala Shadow Chasers/ Urban Arcana ? If the later maybe you'll be answer that age old question....What much damage does a Panzerfaust do to a Red Dragon ? ( old Dragon readers should remember this one )

It's like alignment in D&D: the players will probably kill the evil enemies, but some might hesitate to kill someone that isn't evil, but runs along for other reasons. It's of no big consequence in a dungeon crawl (or whatever you'll call it in a d20 Modern game), but in a game with more focus on roleplaying, it might be a differance, as they might just attempt to flee instead of killing everyone (like in many movies and novels, where they spare some enemies that aren't evil).

Hmm... that's really interesting: They somehow forgot to set a damage type for the rocket launchers, instead telling you that "it deals damage as a grenade or explosive". Now that could be slashing, fire or concussion. Fire damage would mean that the missile will leave the dragon without damage - and the shot with a very dump expression on his face. The other damage types would be subject do DR, but then you have to determine whether it can reduce it, like it reduces hardness.

But the ultimate answer surely is: Not enough to save your hide

This depends entirely on the game setting and time. In a pulp game (ala Indiana Jones) all Nazis are outright evil. In a more realistic game (before our intervention in WWII) most Nazis were just starving german soldiers trying to make their country great again. After the USA entered WWII that doesn't matter any more because all german soldiers were 'enemy' regardless of ideological beliefs.

This is kinda cool actually since previous to our entrance american PC's have no legal (and maybe moral, 'civil disobediance', etc) right to interfere with the Nazi's. I can see a great scene where the only the PC's can stop the diabolical plan after infiltrating the evil SS lair, yet can do nothing to stop them until RIGHT THEN the radio blares "USA has declared war with Germany!" and the PC's lay out the bad guys......
