Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voneth" data-source="post: 507687" data-attributes="member: 1016">For me it was all a matter of bad timing.If I was just getting into DND, I’d get d20 Modern instead. There are some nice rule changes, but there were a few things that barely tipped things the other way and most of them were personal gaming taste. <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1.) The need to get a campaign book to get my supernatural powers, AdCs and PrCs, interspersed with a campaign world that I may or may not want.  2.) I was one of those fans that wanted DR armor and VP. : ) 3.) Psionics rules gets a back seat in a modern game. If it wasn’t WotC’s D20 modern, I’d think a similar product from another company would tank on this concept, but WotC can’t ignore that it’s customer base if very fantasy (compared to SF) orientated. On the other hand, the way the two systems work, leaves psionics barely touched. Magic needs only one attribute to access your whole spell list at your best. Psionics needs all the attributes. This makes d20 Modern’s basic support of 2 classes for each system sort of lopsided. And did you notice that magic got almost 130 powers when psionics got 55? Then when I heard that psionics wasn’t getting any real boost in power level WITHIN ITS OWN CAMPAIGN WORLD, I knew I wasn’t the audience WotC was aiming for.</li> </ul>At this point in my gaming, I am looking for things that do more radical stuff with the d20 system and I have found some that do the trick. (I’ll spare you the pimping of my own personal favorites.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  ).</blockquote>
