[QUOTE="Krail Stromquism, post: 1073677, member: 2400"] geez guys I didnt realize we were in court. But when I started thinking about our super fun Pulp Game run by the pulpy Commando Cody. I thought of our Scientists running around with us. If we had started this game with the D20 modern rules what would they be doing? If a smart hero he would be getting 1 talent and a bonus feat because hes 2nd level. Thats savant or Linguist. In our particular instance the scientist would have to have taken Personal Firearms and Advanced Firearms for his 2 feats. So heres our "Scientist" thats now more of a shooting nut that happens to know a bit about thermal dynamics and if he lives long enough in the Lost World and ever gets back to civilization he's had a great idea every since grad school on how to make a Thermal Particle Polar Destablizer (Ray of Frost). Also on the other thread I whine about making a Soldier/Ganster instead of being just second level S/G I have to be a 5th level character? In short the main thrust of my arguement is this: The Pulp setting is melodrama and high adventure and using D20 Modern makes it so much more milktoasty and blan. EVENTUALLY you'll get to the good sweet pulpyness but your just stuck muddling about in uncertanty. I much rather would've seen the space used for a Pulp Adventure with wacky npcs and what not. If anyone has a compelling D20 Pulp adventure for 2nd level characters I'd love to see/hear about it. sorry for being late in checking the thread! [/QUOTE]
