[QUOTE="paulewaug, post: 1028572, member: 5899"] [b]besm d20[/b] Hey Gundark, if you haven't had a chance to check out besm d20 by [URL=http://www.guardiansorder.com/]Guardians Of Order[/URL] I think it would definately be worth a look. I picked it up the other day and it is an excellent book. Besides breaking down the "core classes" as they are presented in 3.0 and expanding them to get something at every level (as 3.5 does, more or less) and being balanced against each other; it has a full set of complete classes of its own that can be used with, or in place of, the core classes. One nice thing about the book is that it doens't focus just on a D&D/fantasy theme but could work for Any genre! The reason I bring it up here is that among the classes are the "[i]Giant Robot[/i]"and also the "[i]Mecha Pilot[/i]." (both separate classes, there is also a new race "Artificial Construct") The other classes are: Adventurer, Dynamic Sorcerer, Gun Bunny, Hot Rod, Magical Girl, Martial Artist, Ninja, Pet Monster Trainer, Samurai, Sentai Member, Shapechanger, Student, and Tech Genuis. Although some of these have modren sounding names and some classic Fantasy names it is really set up to allow them to belong together. The mecha types can just as well be techo or mgic or of course "techno-magic" I see no reason a "gun bunny" couldn't be a super archer such as Legolas. I think the book is well suited for a setting in the steam punk genre and or the [i]Iron Kingdom's[/i] "Full Metal Fantasy." You can check it out pretty well with their [URL=http://www.guardiansorder.com/d20/animed20_srd/]anime d20 SRD[/URL] although really the book itself is definately wroth the money and the charts and organization of the book make it very usable. I have trouble deciding if I would rather use the besm d20 rules or the Savage Worlds rules to run my own Freeport-Iron Kingdoms adventures some day! Well I hope some of this proves useful Cheers! oh: I was going to "edit" to list that I forgot to metion the upcoming "d20 Mecha" book but [i]Azure Trance[/i] beat me too it. Thats what I get for taking so long to get my post togehter! ;) [/QUOTE]
