d20 Modern: Fallout

[possum]

perrinmiller: What's funny is that I have Fallout 3 alt-tabbed out at the second. And I know all about having to wait for a new computer to play a popular game (looks at Warcraft III). As for as many players, my goal was 1-4. Yeah, I would have run this thing with one person if I had to.

WalkingDad: Looks good so far as a quick glance goes. I'll have to get my book out a little later and take a closer examination.

 

[perrinmiller]

Well count me in!

I should have a rough sheet on Myth-Weavers tonight.

Are we starting with Max HP at 1st level?

EDIT: Added Sheet
d20 Fallout :: (Read-Only) - Myth-Weavers

 

[possum]

Yes, max HP at first level, roll for the rest.

 

[possum]

WalkingDad: You have one too many feats. As a human, you get two feats at first level, in addition to your starting feat of Simple Weapon Prof. At least, that's what the SRD says.

Perrinmiller: Seems okay so far.

 

[Walking Dad]

The character creator said my starting occupation (rural) gives either Brawl or Personal Weapon Prof. as a bonus feat.

[perrinmiller]

Anyone feel the need to take Treat Injury? Also regarding combat roles, I am undecided on whether to build for melee, ranged combat, or both. I am considering taking Archaic Weapon Proficiency instead, but only if our group's crafting skill can produce a Flail (Light or heavy). It's listed in d20 Urban Arcana.

@Possum: I debated on the bonus feat for Occupation. I was going to take Combat Martial Arts instead of Weapon Prof Personal Firearms. Problem was CMA requires +1BAB and I was wondering if that requirement applies when selecting your Occupation's Bonus Feat.

Also another question about the setting background. It sounds like we are starting similarly to Fallout 3, so does that mean we are exposed to firearms in the vault? Or are we going to be starting out using Simple Weapons initially? Since I was picking Law Enforcement for initial Occupational training, what weapons are the Vault Security Personnel getting training on?

Lastly, since the holiday weekend might be sucking away your time, those of us not celebrating the 4th of July could finish up our characters this weekend. How soon are you looking to start? Next Tuesday?

Edit: Updated Sheet with some description data and a name. But based on the response to the above I might make some adjustments. But pretty much ready to go.

I know that this is technically meta-gaming, but I know that you all know that you aren't going to spend the entire campaign in the Vault. I would strongly advise you getting Personal Firearms Prof., but it is your choice. As for your question, I wouldn't allow it.

 

[perrinmiller]

Meta-gaming or not, in true Fallout tradition, guns are the way to go. Sniper builds beat melee builds so, I am going to rethink the Combat Expertise and Improved Trip. It was stuck in my mind from D&D anyway. Since you are playing FO3 now, I will assume it has some influence on our campaign.

Did you play the earlier ones too? I really liked FO Tactics. And Jagged Alliance 2 for that matter. Great games.

I will update the sheet again. I added some background too. Same link as before.

 

[Voda Vosa]

I finished FO3 a couple of month ago, great game. Totally sarcastic, loved it. Anyway, about the personal firearms prof, my character will rely on the others for protection while he throws grenades and the such. I'll be very annoying as I'll attempt to craft almost anything possible. Just thought you should know =)
