I don't understand what you're aiming at here. You asked how too handle challenges for PCs with vastly differing skill modifiers. I answered by saying: set the DC as appropriate for the "typical" skill value, and then allow the skill monkeys to benefit from cooler effects. That way you can have...

Spirit of the Century handles this by using shifts: if you succeed by a lot, you get some additional benefit like looking really cool, or doing it really fast, or others. True20 and Iron Heroes allow you to be extra cool by taking challenges (a skill penalty or increase in the DC). So climbing...

Once the Freemason's move out, "Me and Diego will keep an eye on the girl, you guys do the clening up. Anybody elese tired of her yapping?" without further ado, he improvises a gag from a kerchief and keeps the girl quiet. Typing something on his PDA, he IMs the rest of the team. Menawhile he...

True20 is faster and easier to run than 3.5, no questions asked. The toughness mechanic is clunkier than hitpoints though, and it takes some getting used to. Personally I use Baduin's variant: This has worked really well for me as GM and my players have also enjoyed it. YMMV With respect to...

But it does have a niche demographic in the RPG world. I've never heard it say that d20 Modern was a failure for WoTC, so I see no reason why they won't repeat the model they did for 3E: launch fantasy 4e, and a couple of years after launch modern II or whatever.

Replace Star War for modern in your statement, and you have the same statements that were been bandied around last year about SW RPG.

As Duffman avoids the spittle, Larry grins at Meredith and says, "See, that's how you do it." At the MiBs cold blooded question, Larry shakes his head. "No, not unless she get's difficult. It's such a pain to question corpses, don't you think." Turning a pitiless glare on the woman, he adds...

Before they reach the others, Larry texts Cade warning him about returning with the 2 MiBs. "I don't think it'll be bullets this time. Something freaky, maybe. But bullets are so last season."

Yup, fractional saves and removing the first level save boost are a great fix to the save/BAB/Defense mechanic.

"Duffman! So you letting us do the heavy lifting again?" "Clowns? I guess you could call Cade that, but I'm all style, baby." Trying to keep the MiBs off balance, the con-man adds. "So a brand new replacement? She know what happened to your last partner, Duffman?" After a moment he continues...

Say it Again! I love talents, but I'm not sure they're anything else but class restricted feats organized in trees.

Well, not that many adventures taking place in Libraries. And Research takes time. BTW, you're vastly simplifying the task of building a nuke. The precision in making/placing the shaped charges is of huge technical difficulty, just as an example. I think you're giving book knowledge a lot more...

The correct response is, I'll bring a gun, a knife, a bazooka, and however many grenades I can carry. :p

I'll take your word for it then. Somehow I thought that the cristals in Danotoine were formed in a place "strong" in the force. But it's been over 2 years since I played KOTOR on my x-box. Maybe it was just the imbue/attune disconnect mentioned by Kaffis. Or maybe because I really dislike the...

your point?

Well, from wookiepedia: Seems to me they are magical and definitley related to the force. Now, maybe the jedi is transfering midichlorians into the crystal (don't ask me how) or somesuch nonsense, but I much preferred when the argument was that the Force was an all pervasive energy field...

To each his own, I guess. I rather have some things misterious. And their are magical rocks: the lightsaber crystals in KOTOR. Lightining Storms: that would be pretty cool. In the boundary between a light side site and a dark side site, the energy conflict causes these storms to appear.

Quickly dialing Z before the MiBs arrived, he updates her on the story. "And I tried reaching the civilians before they left, but I was too late. How do you want us to control the information? Also, a couple of our friendly neighborhood MiBs are showing up, so it's text messages once again."...

Hey, those were some pretty good ideas there. Zsutherland: any update on the PCs?

Disconnecting himself from the vision, Larry signals the rest that he's ready to go. "I'll go see to Ryland and maybe try to make some damage control." Once he finds the Archaelogist, he tries to calm the man down, and then tries to explain what happened. "Doctor Ryland, I was hoping we could...
