[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 686636, member: 710"] I strongly recommend to tone down high tech weapon damage - the "old school" characters might feel shafted when they compare their 1d8 points of damage of a medium size sword against a 3d8 Blaster Pistol from Starwars. Wound Points: You won`t find a concensus here, though I believe many people like them. I don`t, and suggest to use standard hit points. (combined with the reduced weapon damage, there is no real need to have these extra points). Damage Resistance from Armor: I recommend against it, it doesn`t work well in the D&D System. (Think of the smaller characters using weaker weapons) Class Defense Bonus: If Magic is available to everyone, I think you don`t need it really. Be careful though with D20 Modern Classes, it might be that they become weak without it. But this is hard to tell before you playtested it a few times ;) Oh, and did you ever play Torg? If not, try to get it (might be difficult) - it is worth it, and it mixes every genre and time you can imagine, in an excellent matter. Mustrum Ridcully [/QUOTE]
