A) About the attack rolls, your post is about skills. Please don't change the rules midstream. B) You state in your post that some skills are success or failure, and some should have degrees of success. I find your choice to select circumstances that are specifically pass or fail to be...

I think most dms already treat a failure by 1 differently than a failure by 10. Carving rules in stones on this matter will limit a dms flexibility in the matter by handcuffing him to rules the players will expect him to follow.

I don't really like d20 modern, just the wealth system. This is actually for a Conan d20 game and I much prefer the abstract wealth mechanic as opposed to tracking every silver piece. I don't see why a constant income would be necessary, it's just a number representing the character's wealth...

I'm thinking of using the wealth system from Modern, has anyone done this? What do you use as a general rule for converting gp costs to purchase dcs?

I completely disagree with the OP. I hate 4e, I mean I really hate it, but it was specifically designed to be easily customizable. That is one of the few things I do like about it. What was lost from 2e to 3e was creativity, as a couple of other people have already pointed out. Books were...

Is anyone else having trouble getting on P&P games? I've been having problems all day.

3 players and counting.

I have two so far for the play by post game, another couple would be a good start.

When it comes to Sci-Fi, it's all about Alternity.

Damn your Virginia living hide!

My house rule is that light/heavy helms give a +1/+2 bonus to armor class against critical hits only, and give a penalty equal to double the protection to perception skills.

I'd like to get a group together for some Conan D20 gaming after the new year. Ideally I'd run Conan on a biweekly basis and another DM will run something on the other weekends. The system will be Conan D20, but it will also be a modified E6 game. If anyone doesn't know what E6 means the...

I currently have a PBP Alternity game running on Obsidian Portal, but it's not taking up much of my time and I'd like to start another. Since my current campaign is Star*Drive I'm looking to run something else. Also, I'd be willing to share GM'ing duties if anyone is interested in that.

Our group has decided on Star*Drive as our campaign setting. We are an intrepid crew just trying to scrape through life in the Verge. Our crew so far: Damien Storm: A human expatriate from the Thuldan Empire. He is the owner of the Excalibur. He needs a good crew to maximize his profits, and...

I've had trouble putting together a face to face game so I'll be running a pbp instead. The system will be Alternity, but the campaign is not decided on. When I get at least 4 players together we'll have a vote on the campaign details. I'm comfortable running everything from sci-fi to stone...

The fighter is better than all those other fighting classes as far as I'm concerned. Nobody fights better than a fighter. People say the barbarian does, but a well built fighter would destroy a well built barbarian. Until spells come into play. The main problem with the fighter is it's a...

The best way to reign in wizards is to bring back the old limitations they had. Give every spell a casting time equal to the spell level. If a wizard begins casting fireball on initiative 17 it doesn't go off until 14, giving enemies time to interrupt him. Memorizing a spell requires 10...

4th level actually. As much as I'd love to play E6, I think E4 would be even more fun.

Well in that case there is no such thing as a horrible setting. An infinitely long hall full of charging kobolds rushing your 20th level fighter one at a time is a great setting if someone wants to roll a d20 and watch something die, but that's a horrible setting as far as I'm concerned.

Too much magic. A lot of gamers would love this, but ones like me would avoid it like the plague. If you like Planescape you'd probably like this world. If you don't you'd probably hate it. I like down to earth gritty settings. Yes Conan, no Final Fantasy.
