OOC: D20 Modern Supers: The Orange County Eight (FULL)

[garyh]

TSI looks solid to me, Krizzel, and I really like the history.

And you, Kit, are missing stuff. Chop chop!!

 

[Krizzel]

Who else are we waiting for?

We've got five PCs in the Rogue's Gallery...they're all more or less finished, right? Who are the last three?

 

[garyh]

PC's more or less done:

1 - Krizzel - The Supreme Intellect
2 - KitanaVorr - Lady Dragon
3 - Caliber - Bruce Terring, The Eco-Guy
4 - Dalamar - Iron Man-type
5 - Keia - Phoenix

No PC stats:
1 - reapersaurus - swashbuckler
2 - Sollir Furryfoot - android
3 - mirthcard - former teen sidekick

Mirthcard left a post that he was busy until the end of this week, I believe. I don't know what's up with Reapersaurus or Sollir.

 

[KitanaVorr]

I don't know what's up with Reapersaurus or Sollir.

Reaper's been posting up a storm in the V:tM thread. He's probably working on that character.

I'll completely finish Anh tonight.

 

[KitanaVorr]

Anh's done I believe. Am I missing anything?

 

[garyh]

Anh loooks good to me, Kit.

I have the personality of Jack Styles down pat - it's the mechanics that have me somewhat stymied.
That D20 Modern book is a bit thick, and I don't get yet the differences.
I know the FCtF part like the back of my hand, but I've been trying to finish up some stuff IRL and my Vampire character that Kitana mentioned before cracking at Jack of Hearts.

Could someone synopsize some of the stuff in D20 Modern that I should be looking at to speed up my process?

 

[garyh]

Well, Reaper, the key things I think you'd need to look at are the classes - particularly, the Fast Hero and the Charismatic Hero. Toose two combined with Hero levels would make the perfect swashbuckker. Combat is sufficiently the same that I wouldn't worry about it. Skim the Skills and Feats. Much is the same as D&D 3e, but there are a few differences. Make sure you take the archaic weapons profeciency, so you can use a rapier. Finally, the Occupation aspect is new. I'd guess either the Adventurer or Dilettante would be the most appropriate Occupations for Jack Styles.

 

[reapersaurus]

He works as an Environmental Scientist - how does that affect D20's "Occupation"?

And I looked at the classes - none of them seemed perfect.
The Fast Hero wasn't swashbuckler'ish, and the Charismatic Hero seemed like it was a Bard.
Jack doesn't inspire others, he inspires himself!
LOL Unless I didn't see it, they missed those powers in the D20 Rules...
(on a soapbox, I'm getting sick of all these powers that give benefits to ALLIES.
How bout a good, old-fashioned power that just helps yourself that happens to be CHA-based? (See why I like Divine Might?)

 

[garyh]

In that case, I'd say either the Academic or Technician would make for a good occupation.

As for the classes, the reason I mentioned Charismatic was the Charm Talent Tree. The first talent in the sequence is "Charm," which gives a PC a bonus to social checks with a chosen gender. Tell me THAT'S not swashbuckler-ish! The Favor and Captivate abilities in that chain also would work well with a Swashbuckler, I'd say. Fast Talk isn't a bad talent tree for a swashbuckler, either. Your beef is with the Leadership Talent Tree. And I think both the Fast talent trees (Defensive and Increased Speed) could work with a swashbuckler.
