[QUOTE="Turanil, post: 1933725, member: 9646"] This thread has given me the desire to create a houserule for easy and lite d20 Modern classes. My complaint with d20 Modern classes is that creating PCs and NPCs takes hours, and finally doesn't make the game better. So I am thinking about doing it like that: -- 3 bases 20 lvl classes, in the spirit of Unearthed Arcana, that is: Warrior, Expert, Intellectual. -- A set of core skills by profession, determined once and for all at first level, inspired by CoC d20, instead of Starting Occupations and whatnot.

Talents: Intellectuals would get one talent per two levels, but other classes may get less as compensation for greater BAB and hit-dice (need some calculations). -- Even number of skills points per level.
