[QUOTE="solkan_uk, post: 3265147, member: 15753"] Different strokes, I don't see why it makes you more invulnerable and make weapons less varied though? You can in Spycraft, personally I think D20M has an odd in-between level that I initially liked but quickly soured to, they're not generic enough to make any character concept, but aren't distinct enough to be interesting, of course your mileage may vary (in addition with the 'Back to Basics' suppliment we have d20 modern style classes as well). Any NPC in Spycraft is appropriate to any level of play from 1st through 20th, in D20M you'd have to 'level-up' the NPCs. Admitedly this means cross-referencing a chart to get the NPCs actual values for that level, but it can be done in literally 2-minutes before a game. I prefer that rather than the artificial feeling Full Attack (at 20th level move and attack once, or stand where you are and attack 4 times? You simply get two actions which can be used to move, attack or whatever. Especially in a game where attacking is a case of point and squeeze. Martial Arts feat system grants Tricks and Stances which make the game into more than standing and pummelling each other. Of course I've never used Blood & Fists, so can't compare the systems (though I beleive its highly recommended). This will be my last comment on this thread annyway - I would actually like to see d20 Modern continued as most is easily converted and eventually we might see some cheap pre-painted miniatures, if WotC continue.
