Before you read this remember it is a very fast Dark Matter Conversion of the races and recommendation for Advanced Classes. If I were to spend time on this I would make a more indepth and true to the original game conversion, but I don't have time right now, this is what I could bang out in a few minutes. Enjoy.

Sasquatch
Advantages
+4 Str, Con

Allowed Advanced Classes
Modern d20 book: All except Slayer and Battlemind (All chapter six Advanced Classes plus Acolyte,
Mage, Occultist, and Telepath)
Mecha Crusade: Cyborg and Sleeper Agent
Note: Both of these classes should not be entered into lightly. Human cyborgs will be incredibly rare in the extreme and will be seen as the property of the people who "rebuilt" him. The sleeper agent is a mental version of the cyborg. The character will end up being responsible for many actions that he committed while on a mission.
