[QUOTE="mhensley, post: 104085, member: 1604"] Here is some great info from the designer on what it will be like - Since there are a ton of questions on just what D20 Traveller is going to be, here are a few basic notes on where we are heading: Who D20 Traveller is Marketed For New Players. While we hope the current core group of Traveller fans will check it out, we aren't expecting or counting on converting you. There is nothing wrong with the versions you currently play. D20 Traveller is shooting for the D20 players out there who haven't ever heard of or never played in the Traveller universe. Someone has to do it! Classes Yes there will be classes and/or prestige classes. Hit Points There will not be Hit Points as per the D&D and D20 system rules. It will be much closer to CT. There will be some, but very limited increase per level Races Currently Human, Vargr, Aslan. Looking to add possibly two (more?) other minor alien races Homeworld There is a system to determine your general homeworld characteristics which give you skill and feat adjustments Prior Service Yes there will be Prior Service, with the overall effect of raising character level. You will start playing with an 'experienced' character, unless of course you choose NOT to go through Prior Service. Prior Service also includes the University Starship Design Almost pure High Guard (CT Book 5) Ship to Ship Combat High Guard steps, replacing To Hit and Penetration tables with D20 tasks World and System Building Almost pure CT Book 3 Psionics Very close to CT Psionic rules, but some modifications Combat Much easier to die than in D&D or D20 System, with changes to what were Hit Points. Experience NO, experience will not be equated to the type and number of creatures/people killed in a game. Guidelines for awarding experience for good role-playing, etc. will be established. Campaign Setting Imperial Domain of Gateway, years 950-1050 (Ley, Glimmerdrift, Gateway, Crucis Margin Sectors). [/QUOTE]
