[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7571866, member: 6802378"] I would like a d20 Modern 2.0. but there are some problems about balance of power. How to explain it better? Do you remember the survival horror videogame "Alien: Isolation"? Only a xenomorph is a true nightmare, but in other games, for example the 1994 Capcom arcade "Aliens vs Predators" you can kill literally hundreds. A psycho-killer with a knife, for example the night slasher from Stallone's movie "Cobra" is too dangerous for an unarmed civilian character as Ingrid Knudsen (Brigitte Nielsen) but Marion "Cobra" Cobretti (Sylvester Stallone) could kill all the cult of "the new world". With the right weapon you can kill a dinosaur and only a shot is enough. With remote-control drones you can kill enemies from other town, or country. You could drive a truck to run over horde of zombies. Buffy the vampire slayer only needed a RPG (rocket-propelled grenade) to kill the judge (season 2 episode 14) and the Mayor was tricked to go to a zone with lots of explosives. How should be the XP reward and the challenge rating when the monster is too hard, or easy? My opinion is WotC wants a second edition of d20 Modern, but to use this system for different franchises like mechas, (war) action heroes or superheroes. D20 isn't ready to mixing melee weapons, powers and (more) modern gunpowder firearms. Have you seen the SRD of Starfinder? [/QUOTE]
