Are there any products (or for that matter, free sources such as good ENWorld threads) with new talent trees for the basic, starting classes in d20 Modern? I know about the very cheap PDF called 23 Talent Trees and will be purchasing it shortly, I'm just wondering what else is out there. I browsed through some of WotCs books and it didn't look like they had any.
d20M: new Talent Trees?
- Thread starter jeffh
- Start date
The Game Mechanics "Modern Player's Companion 2" has new talent trees. (So does their Future Player's Companion #1: Tomorrow's Foundation - but at least half refer to future-style settings).
I want to say that one of the MODERNIZED had a few, but that might have just been a submission that wasn't accepted (or came in after MODERNIZED closed up shop).
That could, very well, be the only products that I know of that contain "Modern" talent trees.
As for Future ones, Blue Devil Games' Dawning Star had some, IIRC.

Every couple of months, this very same thread is started by someone new. We should ask the mods to sticky a permanent list, a la Phil Reed's Future d20 products list above.
Speaking of, I post this tree in every such thread, and I shouldn't skip this one:
Intimidation talent tree
Brute
Some people don’t need a strong force of will to intimidate people; their natural toughness is apparent to those around them. A Hero who takes Brute adds his Constitution modifier to his Intimidate checks.
Prerequisite: At least one talent from the Unbreakable talent tree, Intimidate 6 ranks.
Take It Like A Man
Once per combat, whenever the Hero takes damage from a successful attack, he may spend one action point to make a free Intimidation attempt against his opponent. The Hero adds the damage taken from the attack as a bonus on his Intimidation check.
Prerequisite: At least one talent from the Unbreakable tree, Intimidate 10 ranks.
Demoralizing Attack
The Hero may spend one action point to make a single melee attack as a full round action. If the attack is successful, it deals only nonlethal damage. The Hero may then make an Intimidation attempt against his opponent for free, adding the damage from the attack as a bonus to the Intimidation check.
Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +3, Intimidate 8 ranks.
Really Demoralizing Attack
The Hero may spend one action point to make a single melee attack as a full round action. If the attack is successful, it deals only nonlethal damage. The Hero may then make a free Intimidation attempt against all opponents who can see the attack. The Hero adds a bonus to his Intimidation check equal to the damage dealt.
Prerequisite: Demoralizing Attack, Base attack bonus +6, Intimidate 12 ranks.
Why Won’t You Die?
Whenever the Hero has less than 0 hit points and is not unconscious or dead, he receives a bonus to his Intimidate checks equal to his character level. He may also spend one action point to make Intimidate checks as an attack action.
Prerequisite: Remain Conscious, Con 16+

Actually, that's perfect, since the main impetus behind this involves a futuristic setting anyway.
It looks like I could grab almost everything mentioned in this thread at rpgnow for, like, $10. I was looking on the game store on this site, and they don't have most of this stuff (particularly oddly, it looks like they have 22 Talent Trees [so I was off by one
] but not its sequel!). That's exactly what I'll do later this week, methinks.Thanks for the help, and if anyone knows any more, I'm still listening!

I did some more up for the general classes, as I did make them 20 levels not 10.

Actually, it looks like that's from ANOTHER cheap PDF product, written by the author of that post, which has eleven other talent trees in it as well. So that's another one for my list. So your pointing that out actually helped me more than you probably realized.jaerdaph said:
Thanks, everyone who's contributed. I would have been happy with 30-40, looks like there's more like 100 (maybe even more) in all those little $2-3 products. That's great. (Though feel free to post more suggestions anyway!)
