[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 5120096, member: 51930"] Oh, for sure. I'm just thinking in terms of any conversions people know of online maybe. Or even just stories of what your campaign was like. Currently we've divided up the types of adventurers using the SAGA rules: you're good at fighting, talking, sneaking, or stealing (well, scoundrelling, I guess). If you're anything more generic than that, go d20 modern regular hero; y'know, fill in the corners. We have three mercs with cybernetics. One is a "soul-transfered robot", so we may just use the droids rules from SAGA for him, then go soldier or scout for acouple levels. The other two are generic gun-totting cyborg ruffians. All of them opted to be bounty hunters, separately. Kinda funny. Makes sense in Rifts, too, as I don't see why there's a big difference between various levels of Cyborg and a Crazy. You can split hairs where stats go super, but for our purposes in a story-driven game, we can just take stats, add equipment, and ascribe a concept to them. I liked the question of Wolfen in that thread. I think the OP there had wanted a size large wolf-creature (size of a minotaur, bigger than a gnoll), but didn't want to stat them out. The problem I see is that Wolfen are about gnoll-sized, not size large (which would be insane for a PC in d20), even in Palladium. Trolls are bigger, but not Wolfen. I think I can get by with SAGA, and I was thinking of Beholders for the Splugorth. Never ran a beholder, so I do have questions about that, but I think I've got time before it's an issue. Another question is how powerful vehicles are in RPGs. [/QUOTE]
