    Convince me to buy Urban Arcana!

    What it really comes down to is this: If you are planning to run or play in something like the urban arcane setting, it is a great book to have. Most chapters have good things in them, the organizations are good, incantations are great, etc.etc.etc. If you are planning on a shadow chasers...

    Need a few more operations for base classes

    Don't forget the strong hero, a generalist able to shoot or beat up anyone who stands in the way (strong heading for soldier). A fast hero driver/pilot can be handy.

    Has enthusiasm died?

    D20 Modern does not need, nor should it have, any such rules. I will happily agree with you that the delay in getting d20 Future is very long and bothersome. But D20M is exactly what it should be, a set of rules for creating games in the modern era. Some of those games may have fantasy FX...

    Full attack with more weapons

    Look at the cover to Dragon #305 and think about a clockwork or magically self loading hand cross bow.

    Acrobatic Fighters

    You've just got to remember that no plan survives contact with the enemy. More than once, have I started a character on a great and glorious path to wonderous heights of role-playing magnificence only to have that path twisted out from under my character by a cruel quirk of fate.

    Mini HB Spell: Snake's Swiftness - Opinions?

    Once a person acts, there is no next round or last round. The system is totally subjective, a circular loop. I would not allow such a spell without a massive rewrite. Bump levels by a couple, drop the mass version entirely. Hefty material components. Those, just for starters, and even then...

    Detect Evil

    I'm sorry, but one sample is not enough to form an meaningful interpretation. Could you repeat that a few more times? Oh, and for statisical reliability, please state at both men and women.

    1st ed ranger conversion?

    True, the hit points can add up. I had a ranger with an 18 con, levels one through four, every die rolled for hit points came up an 8... 60 hit points for a 4th level character!!!! Oh, and the DM had declared that for monks and rangers, only the first die at first level was automatically...

    Readied Bull Rush and Concentration Checks

    Some of the arguement against allowing a readied charge is based on the concept of "move, then ready charge, triggered... now!" silliness. That rightfully should be banned. With the appropriate limits, as already defined for a charge action, I think it works.

    Acrobatic Fighters

    This is why I decide PrC's while the character is 1st level. No last minute scurry to fill some gaping hole in the prerequisites.

    Heart Attack

    It is from midieval herblore that we get one of the best modern drugs for heart disease. Digitalis is made from foxglove, a poisonous plant that was used by those that knew how, to treat a person with a heart condition. If the person survives the initial heart attack, the village wise woman...

    vicious bad guy idea...at x-mas

    "Oh tiding of comfort and OUCH" You could always rub some salt in the wound and have the carollers be cultists, themselves. As the caster flees, the party tries to push throught the "dazed and confused" mass only to find they are surrounded and grappled, and that is when the knives appear...

    1st ed ranger conversion?

    Please do. I'd very much like to see it. Why drop the d8 for hit points, since that is what they originally had?

    Readied Bull Rush and Concentration Checks

    But it is possible to use charge at times when a full round action is not available (since 3.5 no longer has partial actions, I can't use that term). With that in mind, it opens the possibility of readying a charge. I would say that the obvious limitations include: No movement during the...

    D20 Modern: Treasure Hunter

    What era would you set this in? The 30's of Indy or the "now" of Tomb Raider?

    Cornershot Rifle

    What part of L.A. were you trying to recruit players from? I'm tucked off in a little corner of the S.F.V., currently gaming some D20M in North Hollywood on Friday nights, something like a steady game would be neat...

    Stronghold Builder's Guidebook Prices

    But a realistic village cottage would be less than one space in size! Through out most of history, a person that had a dwelling that was 15' x 30' was well off. A serf might have to make due with something on the order of 10' x 20' (and that includes the area where the family livestock...
