[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8013373, member: 6802378"] I have said some times WotC wishes, or it should, the creation of a new d20 modern, but it isn't only to update the weapons and items, but about the broken balance with the high-tech. Driving a truck can be enough to hit a horde of zombies, or with the right weapons you only needs to fire one shot to kill an animal like a bear, a gorilla or an elephant. In the first movie, "Alien, the eight passenger" a xenomorph could almost allmost all Nostromo staff, but in the sequel dozens, maybe hundreds, were killed from other room with a couple of sentinel turret machine guns. In Sylvester Stallone movie "Cobra" the female main character, played by Briddigte Nielsen, couldn't face the main antagonist, the night-slayer, but the action hero, with enough ammo, could kill all the cult of the new dawn in the end of the movie. Survival horror as Resident Evil or the evil within where you need a lot of stealth to avoid the monsters, but later with enough ammo and weapons you become practically an one-man-army. D20 isn't really ready for a d20 Modern, because someones want something like Street Fighter, Overwatch, Mortal Kombat or Doom Eternal, because PCs and monsters maybe too weak or powerful with the weapons. Let's imagine a d20 version of Fortnite. The first enemie is a robot with only an axe. Easy to be defeated. The next encounter is a robot with the same stats, but this time a sniper from the top of a building. This time is harder, isn't it? Later the bot using a exosuit like the ones from Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. Practically a mini-boss, but it may be worse. A powered armour, like the ones from Fallout or the javelins of Anthem. This is a boss. The final boss is the same robot as the first one and the all the previous one, but this time within a mecha (Titanfall, B.R.U.T.E) Fortnite. How should be the challenge rating and XPs reward if with the right help it becomes too hard or easy? * Do you know the comic "Arrowsmith"?
