[Recruiting] Harry Potter-style d20 Modern

[Agamon]

If the SRD is good enough, then I suppose I could go for that. I'll try and have a look at it sometime this weekend.

 

[Shalimar]

I think I understand the rules here, somewhat. I'll put Tamalyn up done in BESM, tell me what I did wrong. It alos has to be adjusted to exactly how you are going to do Dynamic Sorcery, ie are we going with the Dynamic Sorcery automatically includes the need for a wand, whether or not it will include the need to use energy points for casting spells. If we do use the no EP version each Rank costs 20pts(18 with the wand only magic restriction) so we really wouldn't be able to afford 1st level spells untill we get it as a class bonus at 3rd level.

I'm just a dog. I mean supporting character. I think its the GM and main players choice. I don't have a problem switching.

I read through a bit of BESM SDR and it made my little brain hurt. But I'll have another look and sort out the conversion if you decide to change. Woof!

PS: there is a BESMd20 feedback thread on the d20 System and OGL Games board. It includes a link to this .pdf version of the Anime d20 SDR

 

[Dark Nemesis]

If there are any more spots available, I would like to join in. This game sounds really neat, and now that I have a working computer again, I really want to get more involved.

 

[Agamon]

Looks like I'm going to bow out. I'm going to have more constraints on my time this summer than I originally believed. I'm not too big on the BESM game, either. Thanks for the opportunity to particpate.

Dark Nemesis, if it's alright with Arani, you may take my place.

 

[Sixchan]

BESM's Fine with me.

But we need to know how to work with Dynamic Sorcery and EPs in our characters, as Shalimar pointed out. I'll re-do my character by the end of tomorrow.

 

[Lichtenhart]

I'll try to make my char as soon as I can. I was hoping there was an attribute which allowed me to be bigger, but there's only for switching size purposes, so I guess I'll stick with half-orc. I'm probably going to take healing too.

I'll try to make my char as soon as I can. I was hoping there was an attribute which allowed me to be bigger, but there's only for switching size purposes, so I guess I'll stick with half-orc. I'm probably going to take healing too.

Looking at the write-ups for the races, they seem to handle size as a player option - the gnome and halfling aren't charged anything for bing small. On the other hand, small and medium are both pretty balanced against each other.

Anyway. Being large. It's kind of hidden in the text, but you can take one rank of Size Change (Growth) with the Permanent defect, for a grand total of 3 points. However, based on what we see in Chamber of Secrets, I don't think Hagrid was large yet when he was at school. If you want to be half-giant, I'd save the growth spurt until puberty, at least.

Magic. One rank of Dynamic Sorcery (8 points), with the defects Magical restriction (must use want) for 2 Points, Unreliable (for at least one point; the player can choose Int, Wis, or Cha as the relevent ability which you'll be making the check with), and Backlash (one point), for a total cost of 4 points.

One rank of Energy bonus is recommended, as well. 3 points.

being an underage student is worth one point of the "Ism" defect, to represent adults not taking you seriously.

Being half-giant is probably a two point skeleton in the closet. (I'll work up a half-giant race for you if you'd like, or you can do it yourself. I'm guessing strength and maybe con bonuses, and possible penalties to dex and wisdom, based on the examples we've seen.)

Edit- Recommended classes - Adventurer, Student, or Dynamic Sorcerer. No Ninja.

[Lichtenhart]

Tsadkiel, thanks for the tips

I'll try to have a char up as soon as my tests allow me to.
