[QUOTE="Bobitron, post: 2107510, member: 25479"] Here's what I can glean from an initial scan... Occupations: It adds some new ones that are era-specific, such as Slave and Primitive, and modifies others to fit the period better. For example, the Doctor occupation gets Research to replce Computer Use. Skills: No real new info, but touches on the changes. Feats: A couple new ones, like Minions, Obscure Knowledge, Secret Identity, and Sidekick, and explainations of how the D20 Modern feats fit. Equipment: Dicusses what firearms should be available to each time period, gives a new list of weapons and armor, and gives an overview of vehicles ranging from a Chinese Junk to a BMW 328. Also gives information about vehicle movement and combat, especially as it applies to ships. Classes: New Advanced Classes include the Explorer (a sort of non-magical ranger/rogue), a generic one for any time period. The Age of Adventure gets the Musketeer (light acrobatic fighter), the Shaman (traditional magician with Divine magic and some nature based features including Animal Companion and Empathy), and the Sorcerer (a dragon-blooded arcane spellcaster). Shadow Stalkers gets the Frontier Marshal (western-style lawman), the Mesmerist (psion), and the Spiritualist (Divine spellcaster with connections to spirits). The Pulp era gets the Flying Ace (pilot, natch), Gangster (intimidating underworld rogue), and Scientist (invention-based scientist of action, rather than lab-based researcher). Threats: Each era gets a few nasties, including the above-mentioned Hyde template and a Drake to terrorize your swashbucklers. Each era also contains a sample adventure. The book is finished with a few pages dedicated towards the Shaman's spell list and some D20 Past-ified spells, mostly from D&D. I haven't used magic in D20 Modern, so I can't comment on it being different, but there is no new mechanics I can see. I assume it is the same as in Modern and Urban Arcana. [/QUOTE]
