d20 Classically Modern

Anyone know where I can find Classically Modern for 3.5/d20 Modern? I've been searching and searching but all roads I've found lead to inactive websites.

What’s Classically Modern?

It's conversion of 3.5 characters to d20 modern. When my GM wanted to convert our D&D characters, I realized that there's no direct conversion for high-level core casters. A fair number of search results referenced Classically Modern with positive reviews. So I want to see what approach it takes on the subject, but I can't seem to find a download.

Yikes, that thread is 14 years old.

Admittedly, I'm talking about d20 Modern. So...

I found a copy on an old backup. It's an OGL supplement. Is it OK to upload here [MENTION=1]Morrus[/MENTION]?

Sorry, that would be copyright violation unless you get permission from the rights holder.

Right-o. What I can do though is provide fair-use snippets.

There isn't a great one-to-one match between these advanced classes presented and the original 3.5 classes.

For example, the Wizard Advanced class get about 1/3 BAB (+3 @10th level). Spell casting and magic item creation are handled by a bunch of class feats. It looks like you could probably get into Wizard after about level 3 Smart character. You need 6 ranks in a skill and a feat expenditure.

For example the Wizard class feats are

Abjuration TraditionFX
Attentive
Cautious
Conjuration TraditionFX
Divination TraditionFX
Educated
Enchantment TraditionFX
Evocation TraditionFX
Illusion TraditionFX
Improved Arcane CantripFX
Necromantic TraditionFX
Renown,
Scholastic FocusFX
Studious,
Transmutation TraditionFX

Things marked with FX refer to new feats in the document.
An example feat is the Abduration TraditionFX:

Abjuration TraditionFX
Prerequisites: Arcane Caster.
Benefit : The caster may cast one additional abjuration spell of each level (1 to 6) each day once the caster can cast spells of that level. Instead of casting an additional spell, the caster can either Enpowered or Extended (as per the Enhanced Magic talent tree) a spell of that level.
Restrictions: none.

So becoming a well-rounded caster would require 8 feats just to access the spell lists!

Heh. Since the writer put everything except artwork into open game document, I theoretically create a new document, cut and paste this one's text in its entirety and update section 6 to include the original. Too much work.

Sure. But I’d update s15, not s6, if I were you.
