[QUOTE="Spatula, post: 1186225, member: 2198"] I have a lot of issues with the design of Modern myself, but...In there.Infiltrator.Admittedly, there's no hacker class. But then, hacking is so simple to do by the core rules, I'm at a loss what benefits such a class would give. A straight Smart Hero with Savant (Computer Use) fills the role well enough.Investigator. Start characters off at level 4+ if you want to start off with the 'real' classes already in play. But you don't need levels in the Soldier class to be a soldier, or whatever. The class name is ultimately just a label, it's how you play the character that matters.I appreciate the theory behind the wealth system, but the implementation causes more problems than it solves.Allegiances are a nice alternative to alignment. The background skills are also a nice addition, and something I'll be using if I ever run a D&D game again. My big beef with Modern is that the supposedly generic base classes aren't generic enough. Someone here has done some nice work on a class-less version of Modern which addresses that concern, however. [/QUOTE]
