[QUOTE="Jeph, post: 382532, member: 6738"] The main problem with my system is the possability for HORRABLE munchkinism. What I mean is, it is always going to be best to get poor BAB, BDB, HP, Fort, Reg, Will, and Skills, and just get tremendously huge loads of special abilities. Let's look at HP. The cost of getting a d10 HD is 4. So, instead of getting HD d10, characters will be better off getting HD d6, and using the extra points go get the Toughness feat every level. And, they will have an extra APL to put into things like Sneak Attack and Rage-Like Abilities. Still, if you can trust your players to have integrity, it's pretty cool. I'm using an earlier version of it in a campaign (which Corlon is in, BTW) set in the far future, circa 2350 or so. Well, currently the PCs are in some wierd portal thing, but whatever. It's worked out pretty well, no PC fatalities yet, but I noticed I calculated the HP for one of the baddies wrong. A troll that had 22 HP should have had 42! oops! BTW, speaking of d20 Modern, anyone care to relate some of the spoilers in Plyhedron or something? Always looking to expand my repertoire of Special Abilities . . . Well, all for now, -Jeph [/QUOTE]
