Combat Round 2 Dorn charges towards one of the crossbow bearing insects leaving himself open for an attack. The spiked one takes advantage lunging forward biting toward Dorn’s shoulder. The bite connects solidly and catches an open spot in Dorn’s armor. Dorn feels an unnatural chill in his...

I vaguely remember someone posting a link to a site that had tons of resources for d20 Modern. For the life of me I can't find that post or link again. Anyone else remember what I'm talking about?

Combat Round 1 You run around the corner and are shocked by what you witness. The four guards, Lord Swifthammer, and Captain Bal fight a losing battle. They stand aligned against four frightening foes. The figures have four clawed arms and a chitin exoskeleton. A vile green substance drips from...

Use the d20 Modern Physical-based basic classes! Seriuosly the Strong, Fast, and Tough Hero classes could all be applied easily. The talents gained by them are merely physical and could be applied to an animal. Strong Hero Talent Trees Extreme Effort (Boost of Strength) Ignore Hardness Melee...

Yes, all the classes are written assuming humans. This means you get an extra feat at 1st and 1 extra skill point a level. However, on p.230 Table 8-20 is "Skills Points Per Class Level for Nonhumans", which is a table that lists the proper skills point for nonhumans for every class in the book...

I editted the review to make it easier to skim BTW. As for Field Scientist. It gains Scientific improvisation (can MacGyver a tool for the job), Skill Mastery (take 10 on some skills), Breakthroughs (give Rep and Wealth bonus), Smart Survival (spend AP to reduce damage), Smart Weapon (Use Int...

d20 Modern review. I just posted a long d20 Modern review over in the database. Hopefully someone will find it useful. I tried to go through most of the book and point out my likes/dislikes. d20 Modern Review

[Edit- added bold to key terms to allow for easy skimming] This review is divided into 3 sections, my opinion of the individual sections (what I like and don’t like), my opinion of the layout/art, and my overall view of the system with rating. Content The first thing you notice upon jumping...

The creature doesn't Detect Evil. When you approach the eye-thing it will drop down and hover between the two front guards. They are still completely unaware of it's presence only a foot away from them. It continues to hover watching you as the party moves forward. About this time one of the...

Alcar will offer to heal Ubaar and Elone, not trusting the others quite yet to heal those he's known the longest. OOC: Use whatever healing spells needed to get them up on their feet. After getting Elone up and if everyone is out of danger, Alcar will pull Elone aside to talk. First, Alcar...

Surgery isn't a skill, it is a specialized use of the Treat Injury skill.

Ichtor you can tell it is an energy parasite from the Far Realms. It attaches to a sizable source of energy and drains them. It has a great deal of resistances across the board. You can guess that no one, other than an Alienist, would have enough experience with these to show up in their dream...

Treat Injury (the Heal equivalent) has some hit point restoring uses. With a medical kit a DC 15 check heals 1d4 hp Surgery (DC 20 but -4 on your roll unless you have Surgery feat) with a surgery kit heals 1d6/ character level but requires 1d4 + 1/per hp below 0 hours to do. Dedicated Heroes...

I posted the Action Point uses a couple posts back. You never regain AP, once they're gone, they're gone. However you do gain more each level up. When you level (in a basic class) you gain 5+1/2 your level (rounded down) in AP. Advanced classes can have a higher point gain. Also I haven't...

Never played Dark Matter so I can't tell you if a setting is like it. The setting I haven't mentioned is Agents of Psi. More or less what you have is Alias / James Bond with a psionic twist. Imagine Bond breaking into a building by attacking a guard unaware with a blade of mental force and you...

Creature Weaknesses are interesting quirks you give to a monster for dramatic purpose. There is a table of sample weakness (from Alcohol to Amber to Bunnies to Elvis Presley memorabilia to gold to TV infomercials to X-rays and alot more.) Also there are rules for the effect of the weakness...

Working on questions... D&D monsters are easy to convert. The only real conversion work to do is to assign them modern equipment. High Reainaissance would be doable. Nothing for that subject is covered in the core book though. Overall, this is a great boon for d20 when it hits SRD. D20...

Profession is just a skill so you can choose as many as you want. Starting occupation is something you pick at 1st level that gives you certain skills as class skills and sometimes a wealth bonus or bonus feat. Urban Arcana and Shadow Chasers have some ties. In Shadow Chasers the Shadow is the...

Holy Crap! I made the news page!!! :D :D :D Anyway, the Vehicle rules look great if you like the grid combat system from Star Wars Revised or Thunderball Rally. There are considerations for both Character Scale (5 ft blocks) and Chase Scale (50 ft blocks). Vehicles do having facing and firing...
