"I have a bad feeling about this ... " heehee ... how many more Star Wars quotes can we dredge up? :D

"I don't seem to remember owning a droid before ... "

Sorry Drowbane! This is the first I saw your post. Check your inbox. :)

Right, but being able to kick out 10d6 damage every round at will without limit is very powerful. If you want to keep it at will with no limits per day, in addition to its 7x per day 10d6 lightning bolts and other powerful at-will spell-like abilities, you might want to consider boosting its CR...

3.5'ed! Erica's note: Remember that demons and devils got a power boost in 3.5e, at least as far as ability scores go. You might want to compare the karasuman's stats to other 15HD demons to see if it needs such a boost as well. The wing-blades are pretty powerful as written and should have...

3.5'ed! Also ... correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't the petrification from the medusa heads only a temporary state?

Definately outer rim.

Make one up. It's a big galaxy out there. :)

Heehee ... I'll do the Medusa Head and Raven Demon tomorrow. :)

3.5’ed! Erica's notes: Constructs get bonus HP in 3.5e, but as before I don't have easy access to my MM right now, and I don't know what the bonus HP amount should be.

3.5'ed! Erica's note: This one's skill points came out a lot lower in 3.5e thanks to the low Intelligence score. Also, it had Combat Reflexes, which is kinda useless for a monster with such a low Dex. I swapped that out for Ability Focus (Fire Spit). I also gave it Ability Focus (Flame Breath)...

3.5'ed Erica's note: Even as a full-round action, the Electrical Discharge as written is a powreful abilty for a 5 HD, CR 3 creature. I'd suggest knocking it down to +1d6 or + 1d8 electrical damage, and attach a Ref save. If you go this route, the save DC is 11, and is Charisma-based. If DC 11...

I think Power Point lets you do scrolling text at a perspective angle that could duplicate that famous opening story crawl. On my StarWars campaign journal page, I didn't bother with the scrolling text. I just put yellow block text on a black background...

I set my game in the unexplored era between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. It's set about a year after the execution of Order 66. (Or at least it I thought it would be unexplored until I heard about the Star Wars tv show to be set in the same era ... lol) About the only movie characters...

No argument here ... d20 Modern is all-around much more dangerous to PCs than D&D, even with the Defense bonus!

After they make characters, run them through a few sample combats so they can get a feel for how things are different than D&D. No plot ... just pure combat so they can get the flow of the game. Them on once side, a bunch of stormstropers on the other side. If they die, it doesn't count. All...

That is true, but if you think about it a bit it's not a whole lot worse than guns and grenades except at higher levels. Magic missiles always hit, but they only a little bit of damage with no chance for a crit, and you have a very limited supply of them. Same for a fireball ... does a lot of...

There has to be some other drawbacks as well ... any level of spellcasting is more powerful than a typical D20 Modern talent.

You could turn the wizard spellcasting progression into a talent tree. Every time the Smart Hero takes the Wizard Spellcasting talent, he gets 1 level of Wizard Spellcasting as per a D&D wizard. (You could even give him 2 spellcaster levels every time he takes the Talent, since Talents come up...

Bad news ... Jedi can deflect slugthrowers. That was clarified on pg. 135 of the Galactic Campaign Guide. Basically, if its a ranged attack and requires and attack roll to hit (blasters, slugthrowers, arrows, spears, thrown weapons, etc.) rather than a saving throw to avoid (grenades...
