[QUOTE="Jarval, post: 484098, member: 421"] I thought it'd be fun to try and translate the Buffy setting to the d20 Modern rules (yes, I know, I've read Shadow Chasers...). I thought I'd kick it off with my attempt at a Vampire Slayer template: [b]VAMPIRE SLAYER[/b] "Vampire Slayer" is a template that can be added only to young (between 14-20 for humans) female humanoids (referred to hereafter as the "base creature"). It uses all the base creatures statistics and special abilities except as noted here. There is only one Slayer on a world at any time (baring exceptional circumstances). When the current Slayer dies, the template is immediately applied to a randomly selected Slayer-in-waiting. [b]Hit Dice:[/b] Same as base creature. [b]Speed:[/b] Add +10 to the base creature's Speed score. [b]Defense:[/b] The base creature gains a +4 dodge bonus to AC. [b]Attacks:[/b] Same as the base creature.
