[QUOTE="Scud-O, post: 483148, member: 6041"] please don't take this the wrong way, but have any of the people complaining about the damage rules actually played a game of D20 Modern yet? I am, of ocurse, being a hypocrite here, since I have yet to play a game, but it strikes me that these designers who get paid to come up with all this stuff sort of know what they're doing. why not give their version a try. Does it make sense in the "Real World"? nope. but, why the hell would you want it to? if what you are after is a grim-n-gritty gaming experience, i think that D20 just isn't for you. it is a cinematic game where heroes fight villians and people do miraculous things without as much as a bat of the eye. i am all for game tweaking and house ruling, i guess (although, i hate house ruling anything that has a written explanation--if the rules just DON'T cover something, house rule it, but otherwise, try the rules is my motto), but it just seems that a little over a week after release is a bit swift to be declaring things broken or flawed. but, hey, i am looking for escapism in my gaming, so i prefer the cinematic "get-shot-get-back-up" thing.
