Also for those people that are interested I have compiled the information about the release schedule, price information, and type of books from the posts and chat together into a simple HTML table. If there are any factual errors in the table please let me know.

For those that are interested I have created 2 version of the chat log from yesterday evening. There is the RAW log in text form. It contains everything that came on the screen. Including everyone getting booted :( The other one is an HTML document that contains just the questions posed and...

What are the "Limits" on using telepathic abilities? (Eg. # of uses each level, VP/WP) or are there any mechanical limits? In general how is the P rating work as a game mechanic and how is it calculated? Do the main book include info on telepath's for different races? How many and which...

Since I am a "Babylon 5" fan I would have to pledge myself to that. (However, much to my annoyance it isn't out yet. ;) ) Second to that would come "Forgotten Realms/D&D" simply because it was the first RPG I played and it is the one I know the best. Third in order (assuming that the 2 others...

Unfortunatley, I'm not playing any D20 based games at the moment. However, I plan to be starting some up again in the next few months. My favorite Genre's are SCI-FI and Fantasy. To that end I like "DragonStar's" setting but some of the mechanics are a bit cumbersome. Recently, I have become...

A bug and a few minor requests... Overall, I have to say it's awesome what you've done. Unless it has been altered by Eratta, Balance and Climb should have the "Armor Check" penalty applied to them as well. The character sheet doesn't seem to be doing this. (However, the others work...

About KoK Languages? To Falanor: In several of your posts you mention that KoK is similiar to what I am doing. I'm kind of curious how close it really is? Do they do bonuses/penalties for non-/fluency in a language? My scale is obviously in 5 skill point increments. What is their scale...

Re: Re: Compiled D20 Modern Language Ideas... Maybe so but you haven't offered anything of value to me in this discussion. I started this thread asking about opinions on my alternate system of languages. From your first post you maintained that the base system is the most perfect one. Your...

Compiled D20 Modern Language Ideas... With the input from several people on 2 different MB's, I've finally come up with what I will be using for my camp. I am going to use "read/write (language)" as I initially described. However, I am going to modify "speak (language)" so that each rank in...

I'm not unwilling to allow a character to start out with a /few/ "Native Languages" depending upon their character background. That is actually part of why I am thinking about doing this with language because they almost never come up with anything for a background at all. Honestly learning a...

Reply to DanMcS... Actually, I noted in the last full paragraph of my origional post, that you are considered to have 15 ranks in your own language for that very reason. (It would be kind of silly not being able to speak your own language well :D ) I might though consider that you have half...

Thanks! To Sagan Darkside: As far as the dialect thing goes I was referring to duplicating the dialect in speech. Working for the past 4 years in telemarketing I have easily learned to understand a variety of people. However, I still wouldn't be able to speak like them or accurately...

I am thinking of modifying the rules of D20 Modern for more verisimilitude how I experienced learning German. Specifically, I am going to modify Speak Language and Read/Write Language so that your rank in a specific language effects how well you can use other skills (see below). 1-5 - Basic...

Another question... Thanks, for the reply. I kind of figured that those would be the responses but I also figured that you would need them for the inevitable errata file. Looking at the method of determining challenge ratings prompted another question. Is the method of determining EL's...

(I case you wondering.... Currently, I can't register for an account because of an error in the UBB software but I am going to e-mail CS on that issue.) Some errors that I have noted in D20 Modern. Thrown Explosives PG. 148 In the description says that if you threw an grenade over a distance...
