[QUOTE="terrainmonkey, post: 3417637, member: 26827"] hey all. i'm new to the modern boards, as i have just started a campaign and i have 4 players that want to get involved. since i know more about the d20 system, having played DnD for about 25+ years, they want me to make up thier characters for them. i have decided to do a special ops, paramilitary/ mercenary campaign, set in the year 2008. all will be human, as i'm not using the urban arcana rules and there are no wonky monsters in it (yet...). so i asked the guys what they wanted to play, and here's what they came up with. 1. ex con, knife fighter, stealth, scout type. he wants to be able to use all kinds of knives and be able to sneak up on people to deal a killing blow. 2. sniper/ hit man assassin 3. demolitions expert 4. commander type/medic/communications officer so here's a question for all you guys who like to sit around making characters. i'm familiar enough with most of the PC design system, i'm just wondering how you would make the above characters, just using the basic d20 modern book, since that is the only one i have. optimize if you want. i am going to start them at around 6th or 7th level. this is just a once in a while game, and i didn't want them to have to go through all kinds of basic adventures because i just wanted to throw them into it with experience already gained so all would have fun. this isn't something that's going to be serious, just light hearted, roll the dice/ beer and pretzels type of game. any help would be appreciated. thanks.
