Humans. Heh.

I really like the book. I prefer it to most any other "list o' creatures n' stuff" book there is, period. It is divided into understandable sections, and contains a lot of things you'd actually consider using. Normal people, for example. If I have a pet peeve, it's with the Alien...

Well, no, you're not. While talking about work generally sucks, maybe this'll cheer you up. I work in a prison. Couple weeks ago an officer was beaten with a sock containing some can of food and his own flashlight, and then strangled to death with the cord from a laundry bag when he tried to...

Yeah, but.. be fair. To put that sidebar in d20 Terms.. Sidebar if it was d20 Modern: "You have the option of starting as a 32 point-buy Hero IF you advance toward Telepath or Battle Mind. Alternately, you can be a 25 point-buy Strong Ordinary." Sidebar if it was D&D: "You may begin the game...

In 3.0, they were restricted to Experts, Commoners, and Warriors (I've seen a bunch of people try to throw Aristocrats and Adepts in there, but that's not *actually* the rule.. though I wouldn't care if someone allowed it) As for 3.5... Cut/paste from a note I made during a Wizards chat with...

In your example I believe it is all slashing damage, and all halved. On the other hand, if you added damage from, say, a flaming, holy/unholy (I think) or bane (I think) weapon, that die of damage would not be halved, because they add damage that is expressly not slashing damage (At least...

Yeah, I was thinking about something like that. On the other hand, I don't know if I want people to have to blow through *too* many feats to get a couple signature weapons (especially if they're warriors). Between armor and weapons you'd end up sucking up multitudes of levels worth of feats...

Like a few people, I'm toying with using the d20 Modern rules for medieval-themed, low-magic fantasy campaigns. I tend to keep my changes pretty small, and allow for as much cross-compatibility (for my personal comfort) as possible. I mentioned this in another thread. Weapon proficiencies...

Whoops. Stupid lag.

Heh. We've actually been working on something similar (off and on), though ours's probably gonna have the D&D level of magic toned way, way down. Haven't decided about the action points or purchase DCs yet (In fact, we probably *won't* use Wealth for it at first) Right now, though, we're just...

Heh. Already started on that. We've been testing games using a few different ideas off and on. Mostly, we don't have sacred cows, so to speak, but wanted to be able to have d20 Modern and our Medieval interpretation of it be as seamlessly cross-compatible as possible. Why? Hell, I dunno. I...

I, personally, didn't use Classically Modern, because it didn't go the direction I was looking for. It's worth looking at I guess, but I tend to stick a lot closer to standard d20 Modern than that author seemed to.

My copy of the book appears to be fine, and I saw no signs of any damage on the pages you listed (or any others on a quick flip-through). .

Heh. Unfortunately, you can do that at 0 Wealth, too, from what I recall.

Heh! Yes. They are a secret subdivision of the Department of Redundancy Department. On top of that, they're pretty secretive. .
