Grim Tales - 'Chronicles of the Witch Hunter'

[Karl Green]

Very cool with either. Grim Tale uses the base classes from D20 Modern but expands them out to 20 levels AND adds extra feats to each. Then class-skills are totally re-done. Instead of class skills being fixed to classes they are fixed to your Background. You choose a Background/Occupation which give you 3-5 skills, you get 3 based on your 'Occupation' (one craft, one knowledge and one profession) and then you get 3 of your choice. These don't change.
There are no PrC listed but I might allow a few - like the PrC Paladin listed in UA - those kind

Grim Tale adds in a bunch of extra stuff like Horror and Insanity which really fit the whole Warhammer world

thanks Radiant and you are alway welcome

NOW do you have Grim Tales? If not, what kind of character would you want. You can make them up most of the way with d20 Modern also if you don't have G.T.

Yeah I'm great I know
[/arrogant mode]

Nope, don't even have the slightest idea what grim tales is But I played WHF and I can safely say it is about totaly impossible that it could not be better than the original system

Got D20 modern but never played in a game that laster for more than four posts and never in a tabletop so it would be real great if you can create something for me. My characters tend to be a highly impressive example of ineffieny. Plus I'm damn lazy...
(no realy, I'd have to read up on it and me's currently reading exalted like crazy. Don't know why but somehow you can't run that game without being able to quote at least four hardcovers and 3 normal sourcebooks out of your head).

If nobody else takes her I'd take the hunter you posted above.

ps: we are dying to see what happens in the titans *hint*

Kewl... and yep I got to update Titan don't I

great. I think I'll develop her to a real witchhunter over time. But one great thing about WH is that characters start out real low, so I think a poor hunter who'se biggest accomplishment was to hunt illegaly is a good start.

And yeah you've got *has a hard time not to jump up and down*

Karl,
I've got both Grimm Tales, and much of the old Warhammer stuff and am definetly interested in playing. What are your thoughts as to how a Tulwar wielding Fighter from Araby would fit into the idea for your setting. Maybe a bodyguard for a trading company that somehow ended up on his own here. Let me know if this will work, and if not I can always go to my favorite character class "The Rogue" and come up with something.

That would be totally find with me... you want to speak Riekspiel
As for a tulwar are you thinking a Two-handed scimitar? Maybe, twohanded, does 1d10 damage, crit 18-20/x2...

 

[Krug]

Ooh I wouldn't mind Grimmor the dwarf! Sounds like a nasty tank! Fun!

 

[Karl Green]

Kewl but those were just quick write up I don't expect anyone to play them if they don't want to. IF you like them and want to change things around (stats, skills, Name, etc) feel free to do so.

Yes as the title suggests, you are all going to pressed into some Witch-Hunting duties
