I don't think this poll is fair to Star Wars, considering RotK *just* came out, and we're all so hyped and excited about it (myself included). Ask this again in 5 years (well after the DVD's for all 6 SWs and all 3 EE LotRs have been out), and the disparity between the two sagas will be much...

Something that bothers me with the d20 system (and probaby most systems I would imagine), is not that combat is unrealistic, but that it does not follow some cinematic rules. By this, for the most part, I mean that character never suffer a big punch to the face, and fall on their ass in the...

I've often wanted the exact same thing. Problem is, I can't see a way aound it without totally reworking a bunch of rules.

What makes the d20 Modern autofire rules better than Star Wars's?

Star Wars: Ultimate Adveseries is a must (congrats Michelle and Wil on the book. Anything you can say about it? :) ) The Star Wars minis will be an enormous drain on my wallet, but I'm so happy they're releasing them, I don't care. Unearthed Arcana is also a must. All the others I need to...

Hey Thalmin, if you don't mind, I wouldn't mind hearing what the Star Wars Ultimate Advesaries is all about.

Agreed. I can't wait until August :) Thanks Thalmin

Well, it's out, but unfortunatly I haven't gotten my hands on it. If any of you good folks have, I would love to see what D&D, Star Wars and d20 Modern books are due out during that time. Please share the love! Thanks.

This is a really good point, and it bothers me. And the Point Blank Shot feat (+1 to attack within 30 feet). What if I'm using a ranged weapon with a range increment of 30 feet and have the Point Blank Shot feet, and I'm shooting at a target 30 feet away? I get a +1 from PBS but a -2 from range...

My group and I have been talking about OUR beefs with the d20 system in general. Some specific stuff like Whirlwind Attack and Mobility being pretty worthless feats to general stuff like attacks of opportunities being too clunky (in our opinion). So, what are your beefs?

I have a player who might be interested in playing a spell-caster who primary focus is ultimate control over water. Any cool PrC's ring a bell?

I'm not sure I understand the concept of these books. Unfortunatly, product blurbs are always so darn vague to me. Perhaps someone here (or even someone from Green Ronin) could explain what, say, the Advanced Player's Handbook is all about? What's going to be in the book?

I disagree with this one as well. So you've resolved the main conflict. Do the players still want to play their characters in this world? Then make a new conflict! Pretty simple.

So, Sense Motive is not used to tell when someone just told you a lie, just when someone is being generally untrustworthy. After all, it takes 1 minute at least to use. It is opposed by Bluff. Say one of my PCs tells an NPC a quick little lie, like "No sir, I was not there that night" (when in...

Hmmm, in 3rd edition, how would you do a trap like that where you pull the rope and it is pretty much guarenteed that the person (or people) pulling it dies? Isn't there a max damage cap of 20d6 for even the most heinous traps? That's only about 70 damage average.

But what if I don't want a rank in it? What if I just want to research something for a one-use thing?

I'm not sure a Knowledge check is the way to go. I can know absolutly nothing about physics (meaning no ranks in Knowledge [physics]), but I can go to a library, spend enough time, and walk away with pretty much anything I need to know. I wouldn't be able to do that if I couldn't make a...

The rules state "each full range increment causes a cumulative –2 penalty on the attack roll.". is a weapon has a range increment of 10 feet, does that measn that if the target is exactly 10 feet away, a -2 penalty is incured?

Has anyone bought one of these? Are they available? If you have one, I'm mostly curious as to wether or not they include the 2nd printings of the books. Thanks!

Is there any Star Wars material in the Poly side?
