D20 Modern Talent Tree Non Sequitors

[2WS-Steve]

Good ideas. Having the Ignore Hardness double as a magical "plus" for purposes of penetrating damage reduction also meshes well.

Btw, love Master-of-Arms. Are you the same Steve P. of Hero Games fame?

Gracias Felon, glad you're liking the book!

Nope on the Hero fame; that's why I resort to the Ivy League version of my name. Even worse, I've always loved the Hero System and wouldn't mind writing a book for it if I get the chance.

On other notes:

What would be a lot of fun I think is to see a Netbook of Talents with bunches of new Talent Trees for the Basic Classes. I'm not sure if adding to the number of options will create a balance problem but perhaps some kind of prerequisite or limiting factor could address that if it crops up.

Errata on Ignore Hardness, from Charles Ryan inthis thread http://boards.wizards.com/community/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=291;t=000761 on WoTC boards:

All the ignore hardness values should be 1 point higher than they are.
...
(2/4/6)

now that makes more sense...thanks Dismas!

(is there any kind of official errata thread or other errata posts at Wizards?)

Heh . . . a few days ago, Crothian and I disgussed an alternate ignore hardness tallent tree, and decided not to use 2/4/6 because we thought it was too powerful. It was like this:

Level 1: may accept -1 attack to ignore 2 hardness/DR
Level 2: may accept penalty on attack equal to half Strong level (round up), ignore double that amount of hardness/DR
Level 3: Spend 1 Action Point to ignore an additional 1d6 + your Strong level + your Str modifier DR.

There is no official errata thread (as yet), but Charles is compiling a list of errata at the moment.

i went over to see for myself...since all of the [WOOF] threads are so spread out, it's hard to see if anyone's pointed the same couple of mistakes i've seen
