RECRUITING: The Battle for Threshold Orbital (houseruled d20 modern)

[This One]

All:
I'm still recruiting if anyone else is interested. If not, I'll roll up a DMPC and we can play a 3 person fireteam.


OnlytheStrong:

I see a few things:

You have medium armor proficiency, but not light armor proficiency on your feat list.

You also don't have an armor bonus to AC (making it 18)

Weapon proficiency feats don't exist in the houseruled system (see the section on proficiencies).

You have 12 wound points and as many VP as you would normally have HP using decimal average of all dice except 1st level (31 vp total)

I personally think urban tracking should use gather information. I know survival is a generalised skill that covers urban environments, but it just doesn't seem to work when a combination of other skills makes more sense. It's also difficult to explain how you learned how to use regular tracking in an urban environment. Drop or explain how you got survival and track on a city-world, and use gather info for urban tracking instead (I don't recall if it has track as a prerequisite. If it does, you don't need it. anymore unless you can think of a reason for having it.)

To be honest, I have no idea how many action points I have. My Military base class has 5 + 1/2lvl as I'm used to, but my bounty hunter and infiltrator have 6+1/2lvl. What in the world do I do there?

 

[This One]

Hmm. I hate the action point system myself--specificly the method for determining how many everyone has each level. As of now, everyone has 20 action points regardless of other stuff.

 

[OnlytheStrong]

Lol, I got caught........ I copied and pasted Alexandros' sheet and changed the numbers around. Guess I missed some stuff I'll fix it right now. Question: do I just miss out on my initial feat for Fast hero? (not a big deal, just curious)

I agree with urban tracking.... the ONLY reason I took survival was to get into the BH advanced class. I had to have 6 ranks in it. I know it's not a good reason, I can figure up a way to toss it in with my background.

 

[Alexandros]

Hehe, funny side story concerning that character sheet setup is that I stole it from a gnomish illusionist about a month ago and tried desperatly to adapt it to d20.

Quick question on the changes in weapon proficiencies: At one point in the past, I had personal firearm prof, simple firearm prof, and advanced firearm prof. I took personal firearm prof because it was a free feat for the military occupation. I took simple weapons prof because it was a mandatory free feat for the military base class. I took advanced weapon prof because I wanted to reduce recoil and have some fun with burst fire.

So... if neither simple firearm prof nor personal firemarm prof do anything, do I replace them with something or are they wasted feats (since they are the only options for the free feats listed)? I currently replaced personal firearm prof with light armor prof because it seemed in one of your posts that you had said I should. Now I'm wondering if 1) I was incorrect and the feat is simply wasted, 2) I can replace one but not the other, or 3) I can replace my remaining worthless simple weapon prof with another feat (I love strange feats like quick reload...).

OnlytheStrong:
If you use the flexible class creation system, you can choose your prerequs and initial feats, among other things. Feel free to pick annother skill as a prerequ. Just have 6 ranks in it. Same with the feat. Armor proficiency (light) is a good choice. also, it is possible to replace your useless feats with other feats that start feat trees.

Alexandros:
you can replace any of your useless feats with other feats that start feat trees. (I'd still keep armor proficiency).

 

[Alexandros]

Can you switch our talent trees open to classes with flexible class creation? (or, where are the rules for flexible class creation?)

 

[OnlytheStrong]

How's Erin Armstrong look now?

 

[This One]

You can switch anything in flexible class creation (it's in pdf 2-2) If you want to redesign using them, that's okay, but you can switch your talent trees with anything as long as each class has only 3.

Erin looks good at this point. The only thing I see is swim. It seems unlikely that someone on a city world would know how (and anyone who wants to swim in Amber's oceans is insane).

 

[OnlytheStrong]

Didn't know about swimming. I will fix that part then. Thanks for the heads up.


[sblock=Alexandros]

I was looking at our sheets to see if we are really missing anything and noticed you have a level 6 character. Figured it was an honest goof since your feats are right, just seems to be the talents and such.

I put demolitions and disable device on Erin, so we have some explosive potential at least. [/sblock]
