    Critical Hits for Undead, Constructs...

    Thunderstorm: 3e alreay has massive damage rules. Take more than 50 points of damage in a single hit, make a fortitude save (DC15) or die. As takyris was saying d20 Modern adds some 'extras' to undead. Vampires has a vunrability to wood. If you crit a vampire with a 'wooden stake' (broken pool...

    Dark Matter....

    I don't know of any off-hand. Most Alternity 'fans' feel that d20 was what killed alternity. I have heard rumours of a Dark*Matter mini-game in Poly. What exactly are looking for?

    [Somewhat OT] Gaming buddy w/ girlfriend problem

    I have to agree with everyone else. When I started going out with my wife she already knew about RPG's (She had been taught how to play battletech by an uncle on a trip to the USA). She gave it a go (tried DnD, Cyberpunk, TMNT, CoC, Vampire, Werewolf, Mage) but it just wasn't her thing and...

    X-Files-like Modern RPG

    JonRog1 Urban Arcana has got a ritual based magic system as well - Incantations. See the UA question thread. Never really used Psi much in D*M as humans were servely limited in what they could take. So I would probably steal Psi from CoC. PS. My wife loves Jackie Chan Adventures.

    GenCon Europe '03 Question

    First: I did not go this year to other commitements (they held it over the Easter Holidays). From other threads on this and other boards I gather that the organisation had its 'problems'. Things that I have seen mentioned: Staff at the Ticket desk not knowing anything about the games/rpg in...

    d20 Modern FAQ

    Some recent answers Q. Is the fixed bayonet damage correct? They deal less damage than a rifle butt. (1d4 vs. 1d6.) A fixed bayonet should do about as muchdamage as a shortspear (1d8), but the rulebook says a bayonet does 1d4/1d6 damage - it's safe to assume that the 1d6 is meant for the...

    Got Urban Arcana! Summary & your questions answered!

    No problem for me. :D. Shadow Chasers and Urban Arcana are pretty similar, for me one book will be able to cope with both. At is core the main difference is that SC is more Black and White (all creatures of the shadow bad) and UA is more grey (some creatures of the shadow bad) I could never...

    Alternate Firearm Rules

    arkham618 I just wonder if you can add some info on why you felt the need to change these rules. I do not mind house rules etc, but I do like to see the reasoning behind why they feel the need to change. :D

    FX- how?

    The FX using advanced classes are in the settings chapter of the main rules book. The settings are not open content, thus the advanced classes are not in the MSRD. That said I have heard rumours that the Mage and Acolyte Advanced classes may be added after Urban Arcana is released. [NOTE: The...
