[QUOTE="Fredrik Svanberg, post: 1309393, member: 12996"] Use d20 Modern. Vampire clans as templates is a good idea, if you want to use clans at all. I don't think they are necessary but that's not what we're here to discuss. Add Discipline talent trees, which can be chosen from whenever your character would normally be able to pick a talent (roughly every 2nd level). You should probably mix up the disciplines a bit so that five discipline ranks becomes three talents, or you could keep disciplines at five ranks, make disciplines separate from Talents and hand one out on every level. Also add feats which improve on Disciplines, to allow for greater customization. Thaumaturgy will probably need a whole chapter on its own, possibly with a prestige class or advanced class tagged on to show how difficult it's supposed to be to learn it. WoD vampires actually need blood to live, which d20 vampires don't seem to do, so the vampire templates must be altered to reflect on this. I suggest a blood pool, but not limited to 10 points. Generation would be a hard concept to translate anyway, it should probably be represented by one or more feats, if at all. The blood pool should be 5 points per HD. Every day of rest you lose 5 blood points. One blood point can be spent to restore 1 hit point. Draining blood would actually remove hit points as well as con from the victim, transform the hit points into blood points and add them to the vampire's pool. Virtues, humanity, degeneration, frenzy and rötschrek can either be ignored or added on top of the normal d20 system. I would make Virtues into special modifiers to Will saves when trying to resist degeneration, frenzy and rötshreck, respectively. Humanity would just be a 10-point scale, as usual. That's my quick and dirty suggestion. Here's a discusson on converting Mage to D20: [url]http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1312600#post1312600[/url] [/QUOTE]
