"Apart from all worlds" [d20 Past, d20 Future, Sliders, Tangents, Dimension X]

[Moon_Goddess]

Yes, I was going to tell you about that before, but you went the other direction. Yes it's acceptable, I'm looking at keeping this game pretty open if it's in the books somewhere i'm allowing it.

 

[Voda Vosa]

O'll have the character ready for tomorrow I think.

Blackrat: Jacques de Polignac, Royal Guard, 3PX-98R Napoleonic Earth PL6

Sorry, I had a mind-glitch. Since I was thinking that first plasma weapons would have been issued a few years ago. That would mean that the PL would be very early 7 rather than late 6.
And that brings me to other issue. I'm still thinking of making a musketeer but the prereq of Weapon Focus (Musket) would be silly in this age, I was thinking that would you consider changing that to Weapon Focus (Plasma Rifle)? So the future musketeers would still be trained to use the most advanced rifle available. But since fencing is still considered the gentlemans choice the use of rapier wouldn't have changed much.

More about Karg:
Karg the Ogre was born under unlucky stars. He was enslaved by the humans in his early youth, and sent to the gladiator schools. For years he knew only the savage ways of the Colloseum, fighting the elder races for the delight of the human conquerors. he became good at the slaughter, but never revelled in it. Then one day.

I do not know where the humans came from. Noone knows. They appeared from nowhere, with their strange weapons that could kill from a mile away, their chariots without horses that spit flame, and their flying metal dragons that rain fire and death. They conquered large parts of the world before the Elder races united against them. Magic agains technolomancie. Flesh against metal. They enslaved us, leaving only small parts as vassal states. Some say that far away the eldar races still roam free. But finally it came. The revolt. For years we talked about it, made plan after plan. Shorazim the Elf was right, the humans would never let us go. Oh how they hounded us. We won two battles, and still they came. We fled to the mountains. Kharruzdam was so sure we could find help there. But after the slaughter at Thurrim's height, the dwarves would not pay with the blood of their women and children anymore, and we were asked to leave. Can't blame the dwarves for abandoning us. Why risk another city for a handfull. And still the humans followed us, like mad beasts on a scent. One by one we were killed. And now I lay the last of my friends to rest. Dawn comes. They'll be here soon. Better to die a free man then to live as a slave. You were right, Shorazim.

 

[DrZombie]

I took a few small liberties. I gave him a two-handed sword (he is an ogre, you know) adjusted for size. I don't know how to handle the hit points so I let the comp roll.

He hails from a fantasy setting where the humans opened a portal and invaded. They conquered large parts of the continent and set up an empire. He knows about modern weapons but doesn't know how to use them. It will be an interesting starting scene . All the humans he knows are dressed in a uniform, so seeing humans dressed in another uniform will give him pause.

 

[Arkhandus]

I worked on one character idea, a shock trooper from a more advanced Earth, but decided I should probably scrap it. Then I just forgot to work on something else during the weekend, but I have another idea now....yeeesss.....

Now I'm thinking that a better idea might be a Mage or Shadow Slayer (from d20 Modern, I don't have Urban Arcana) with a bit of Golemtech or Necrotics grafted on (from d20 Cyberscape), having fought the forces of darkness for several years, hailing from an Earth that had been almost overwhelmed by Shadow before he lost consciousness and woke up somewhere......else.

I'll post more concrete details later as I hammer out this newer, better idea.

[Blackrat]

Wow Voda. As I am kind of specialist on egyptology I got to say I love those inventions . One suggestion though: I'd change the healing cream's name to be associated with Imhotep rather than Isis.

 

[Blackrat]

Well here's sheet, hoping you accept the change I suggested on post #33. Doesn't really matter since he doesn't have the said weapon and the class doesn't give any bonus to it, it's just prereq.

Anyone notice how powerful the "Electrified" gadget seems to be? +4d6 damage for only +2 purchase DC . Darwin, if you wish to houserule it to give smaller bonus I totally agree.

 

[Voda Vosa]

Thanks ^^ I will change that... Isis is more related to mothership and the sort, but I didn't remember which one was of the healing stuff hehe. Quick question, do you remember the name of the crocodile head god? I could use it instead of "Skin of Nilo crocodile".

I was thinking of an Egyptian culture similar to stargate. But I didn't know which weapons would be more similar to those. In this world, gunpowder was never discovered. I'm kind of lost, since I only own the d20 modern book.
