    Using people as cover and bullet penetration in d20 modern

    It seems a good idea to make the projectile go through hardness at every inch like you have done instead of just the first. It might be better to do thickness in inches X(hardness) + a percentage of the total hit points. Although it realy isn't any different other than devideing the total hit...

    Using people as cover and bullet penetration in d20 modern

    This doesn't differentiate between the type of gun shot, and the amount of damage that is done doesn't matter with this. You could have 10 bullets that don't do more than 2 or 3 damage and still have 3 of them go through. On the other hand you could have 10 bullets that do 19 or 20 damage and...

    Battle Mats

    I have always just used the grid on a battlemap as a reference of distance and nothing more. That way you don't have to get out a string or ruler every time you move, the players don't try to go 35 feet on you. Although I have one that seems to always eek out a extra foot or two. Anyway, I...

    [OT]Brett Favre

    I see nothing wrong with stealing signs as long as only the people on each team do it. Its your job to disguise them. Now if there is a guy in the bleachers with binoculars and a cell phone, well thats another story.

    Battle Mats

    I use a battlemat. Its much better than the hand made paper grid system with overhead projection films that were taped together and pined over top of it that I used before. That always used to be a hassle.

    Should I patch Etools?....

    I would get etools helper. As far as the greatest things of all time list, Davin and etools helper would rank somewhere between sliced bread and God as far as etools is concerned and it wouldn't be the same without it. Ok, so I am exaggerating a little. Its not a fix all but it adds a lot of...

    Using people as cover and bullet penetration in d20 modern

    And there is another problem droping hp for people don't nessessarily mean that they are getting hit, but whene you use them for cover(I'm talking about holding them in front of you not just a situation where they can possibly jump out of the way) every time that they get hit the bullet actually...

    Using people as cover and bullet penetration in d20 modern

    Does anybody have a good idea what the hardness and hp of flesh are. It seems by its nature that it absorbs energy better than some solid substance. So maby 1 hardness with 10hp per inch of thickness. So say the average person is 10 inches thick you would need 11 hp for a normal bullet to go...

    Using people as cover and bullet penetration in d20 modern

    I think part of the problem is that destroying an object can mean a lot of things. It you were going to destroy a door so you could pass trough it you would have to destroy most of it unless you are going to squize through a small hole. It always seems just busting it open as sort of going...

    Using people as cover and bullet penetration in d20 modern

    This idea isn't that bad, the only problem I see with it is that many of the guns would be able to punch through an inch of steel with a good damage roll with would require 13. Maby, for things more dense than wood you could require it pentrating the hardness and doing 20% or 30% of the totall...

    Using people as cover and bullet penetration in d20 modern

    I have seen hunting rifles go through small trees, and even high calaber bullets shot from a pistol go through 2X4s although not always. Plus, when you bash in something reducing its hp you are destroying a much greater area than a small hole. You wouldn't need to blow the entire door out to...

    Using people as cover and bullet penetration in d20 modern

    You could give inanimate objects a break DC for smashing through it. Well I guess you could give one for people to, but that would be slightly more complicated. What would be a bullets equivelent strenght check to see if it could go through something. Also, it would be different than smashing...

    Using people as cover and bullet penetration in d20 modern

    I was curious if anybody has a system for figering out if a bullet will go through somebody. Take for example a situation where you incapacitate somebody and put their body between you and your enemies to use them as cover. I know I can give a cover bonus, but it seem unreasonable to think...

    When Paladins Go Terribly Wrong

    I don't think a paladin should ever kill something just because its evil. The evil thing whould have to demonstrate that it was in the imminent act of commiting something evil or had commited an evil act before, and killing was the only reasonable way of stoping it again. And if the evil...

    [OT]Brett Favre

    I agree, you shouldn't celebrate hurting someone else. I also agree that there is too much celebrating in general, and the NFL will probably use that to fine him. Although, his fine it will probably be as much or more from people claming it was a cheap shop than from the celebrating. I was...

    [OT]Brett Favre

    Don't you think that football has become a wussy sport. 30 years ago we wouldn't even be having this discussion. The coaches would of actually yelled at you for not taking a hit that you had and rightly so. They wanted to see blood, either theres or yours. This isn't pee wee football. They...

    [OT] It's alive: Lab to spawn new life form

    I don't think they are making the entire thing from scratch. All living things share more genetic data than most people think. Its what geneticly works for life. It would be almost impossible not to cut and paste some sequences from some things. Also I think the ability to form...
