Sticking to the theme of this forum: d20/OGL game
d20 Modern offer that kind of variety in the military community structure. Smart Soldier would probably be assigned to the Logistic unit. Dedicated Soldiers are combat medic or field doctors in mobile hospitals. Charismatic Soldiers are lieutenants and captains who bark orders but still rely on the expertise of sergeants.
If you can provide a classless d20/OGL ruleset for such a military-type RPG, then more power to you. But just so you know, not all of us think it should only be that way.Calico_Jack73 said:Once again and I hate to keep beating it's drum but one of the reasons I like T2K is that it wasn't level based. Your initiative roll was probably the single most important roll in character creation. When you take damage you suffer a penalty to initative to represent the effects of shock (both physical trauma as well as shaken cool). When your initative drops to 0 you are out of the fight. You could have a 20 year veteran who never saw combat but sat behind a desk for the most part with an initiative of 1 but you could also have a 20 year old kid fresh out of Ranger school that seemed born to fight with a initiative of 6 (the max). Also, during character creation you roll after every 4 year term to see if war breaks out. That way you have a wide variety of experience between the characters. It all works very well together... check it out.
