Yes that is them. I had forgotten that the Rankens had gotten through the pass before the beginning of the books. It has been a while since I read them and really paid attention. And I reallyu want to find the novel on Jamie the Red, he's a cool character.

Just glancing over the Hawkmask class. Wouldn't the bonus to Intimidate checks be due to the reputation of mask wearers, and the bonus to disguise a circumstance bonus because it's... a mask?

People see someone wearing a blue mask and are intimidated. Whether its a Hawkmask or a downwinder in a big cloak is beside the point. --Brief Clarification

I think it's a little more then the mask, although the mask is key. It's also how the person carries himself while wearing the mask. Hawkmasks will walk ans act a certain way because they know they rule the under side of the city, at least till Tempus shows up and starts hunting them.

Thanks. Even though I'm starting up a d20 Modern game, I still plan on continueing with the conversions. Although they might slow down a bit more. Just FYI

I'm using your divination skill as inspiration for a close cousin thing of my own. It might have some elements you'd like, but its gunna take me a while to finish it off. busy, busy...

I am also taking the card listing and putting it into a table format. I'll stick it online somewhere and share it. I just have trouble figuring out that jumble in the posts.

Ya, I need to organize it and figure out the different types of cards from the five suits and the other types. It's tough since the info is in maybe a few of 60+ short stories in 12 books. But I'm interested in anything you haave when you have it.

eh. Decided to do some stuff.

check out

All I did was put the stuff in the thread already in some semblance of order. No guesswork or further research on my part.
