Pagan priest said:I was talking aout a character starting an "advanced" class at first level, representing a devotion since childhood geared toward mastering a particular class. To expand on the example I mentioned, take the fanboy interpretation of ninja... raised by a ninja clan, the ninja would be trained from a very young age to be a ninja and do ninja stuff. Such a character would not start as fast 1 or stronge 1 or dedicated 1, but as ninja 1.

Even using their own Starting Level and Age chart shows that an Adult with "limited experience" should be 3rd level. Since Modern, like D&D, is dedicated to heroic action, it strikes me as odd that you'd be playing a person of less than even limited experience. I generally start my games at 5th.
Biohazard said:Guys, I'm interested in hearing your experiences in finding a group to play d20 Modern. The current gaming group I'm in is playing D&D, but they're interested in trying out Gamma World (d20) in the new year. But next summer my wife and I are moving and I'm wondering if I should just dust off my D&D books or if it's realistic to think I can get some Modern action. Even comparing the traffic on this board to the D&D groups, it seems like there are FAAAAR fewer Modernites out there than D&Ders.
How few of us are there?
