[QUOTE="Kaptain_Kantrip, post: 48076, member: 546"] I don't understand what you mean regarding no negative WP. In D&D, you are dying at -1 to -9 HP, and die when you reach -10. As to the Fort save, this is the information I got from d20 ShadowChasers in the latest Dungeon/Polyhedron, so I assume it will be part of the revised SW rules in May and the upcoming d20 Modern rules in October. If the sneak attacks do damage directly to WP, then a mid-level rogue could kill just about anybody in one hit! Ouch... I agree about Action Points being a lame name, but it was what they called them in Shadowchasers. I prefer Luck Points. The new SW rules and d20 Modern rules will be changing this, I think. The problem I had when I made this list was that I did not have SW and there were no exactly comparable classes in Shadowchasers to aid me, so I guessed. OK. I misread this in Shadowchasers. Armor limits DEX bonus, not Defense bonus, as you said. A cover bonus. Gotcha. That way it is specific so we know whether it stacks with other types of bonuses. Good idea. Will work on that! Yeah, I was going to make Rep more about deeds, but they didn't do that in Shadowchasers and simply made it into two feats: Famous and Infamous, each providing a +3 bonus to Charisma based checks in situations where your REP would come into play. I like the simplicity of that, but it kind of sucks as far as realism goes, and who wants to spend a feat on that? It seems like something that should be gained threough RPing (like Leadership feat) rather than by just spending the feat to get it. I know SW had a REP by level chart and that's where I got the idea of mixing the two styles from. Still not happy with either, so maybe I'll just scrap it. [/QUOTE]
