[QUOTE="HeapThaumaturgist, post: 1937459, member: 12332"] Well, I don't think anybody is going to [b]guarantee[/b] anything. Modern and Grim Tales are very very similar but GT advances the classes out to 20 levels and breaks down alot of special class abilities from other sources into talents and feats. Merely suggestions from the board collective on things that may help you do what you were kicking around. It's not necessarily more top-heavy but it is another investment in gaming material, one you may not want to make. As with all things gaming, its a price-to-value consideration based on the amount of time it may save you against the amount of money your time is worth. If you have a FLGS you may want to page through it, if you can't it's just a roll of the dice. I have both D20Modern and Grim Tales and I like both of them equally well for all that they're very similar systems. For that, they still do different things differently. I would say, though, that if tomorrow I were told all of my gaming books but one would explode in flames I'd probably pick GT just because it has GURPS-like flexibility in a d20 package. --fje [/QUOTE]
