[QUOTE="Dark Psion, post: 44524, member: 959"] I was toying around with a few Gamma World D20 ideas a few months ago, here are the highlights. Use race in the place of the basic classes: This would make mutations a "Class Ability" that could be balanced to Pure Strain Humans better saves, Hit points and Tech skill bonuses, a Cyborg's implants or use a gamma world race as a PC. Use Mutation points: They would be like skill points, so that the more you have, the more powerful your mutation. This would allow mutations to scale with level. Tech Feats: These would allow you to use the skills you already have, but in a "Higher Tech" fashion. For example, you have Open Locks skill, a Tech III feat would allow you to now atempt to open tech level III locks. Create a variety of Origin options for the races. For PSH; Survivor: like Mad Max, you just won't die. Ancient: A sleeper who has awakened. Hidden: From a domed or underground city. Cyborg: Replace the parts that fall off. For Mutant Humanoid; True Mutant: Son of a Mutant. Alt-Human: A PSH who has mutated. Geno-Mod: Your ancestors used genetic enginering. Bioroid: An artifically created slave race. For Mutant Animal; Uplifted: Animal who gained sentience De-evolved: A PSH or MH who has become an animal Geno-Pet: Genetically enginered animal. Proto-Race: Could be the father of a new Gamma Race. For Android; Personality Download: A PSH who survived in a robot body. AI Download: An AI who got tired of being stuck in a little room. Fuzzy Logic: A Robot that has achieved sentience. Re-Awakened: An Ancient android thas has just awoke from a long winter's nap. For Mutant Plants; Uplifted: A plant that has gained sentience. Geno-lily: A geneticly enginered plant. Assimillation: A plant that absorbed intelligence from a PSH or other. Spirit Orchid: A plant posessed by a psychic force. [/QUOTE]
