[QUOTE="GuardianLurker, post: 9337667, member: 786"] Sight unseen, this has already resolved one of my big complaints with d20 Future and 3.x - their power scales were not the same, so it could be finicky (in unanticipated ways) to adapt content from D&D to d20 Future. Since VRC is using the exact same rules as A5E, this should be gone. The second biggest problem I had is the writers/editors for d20 Future really didn't have a grasp on how BIG space - even interplanetary space - is. 1x Light Speed = Warp 1. Approx. Time to Pluto (40 AU) 320 min. (5 hrs, 20 min); Approx Time to ProximaCentarui 4.2 years 25x; To Pluto 12.8 min; To Alpha C 61.3 days (2 months) 1 LY/Day (365x): To Pluto < 1 min.; To Alpha C: 4 days To put things in historical perspective: Crossing the Atlantic: 1492: 1 month Sail Record/2016: ~6d Steam Record/1952: ~3.5 d Commercial Flight: ~6 hours Flight Record (Concorde)/1996: ~3 hours And crossing the United States of America, by automobile takes about 1 week, with a record of ~26 hours. Oh, did I forget to mention that d20 was supposed to be able to handle Interstellar Space Opera (Star Trek, Star Wars, Dune), and let its fastest listed ship was only capable of 25x Light Speed?
