True 20 for Iron Kingdoms

[Matrix Sorcica]

Great work!

One thing: the various humans' ability adjustments. Shouldn't it be +1 instead of +2, when we're talking true20?

Other than that, impressive.

Yep. I tried to keep changes to the IK text consistent with the IK text (so a +2 rather than a +1, even though a +1 is the final result). I hope it isn't too confusing.

One thing I noticed when letting my characters choose IK humans, was that most (all that I recall) racial ability score bonuses canceled each other out. On a point buy/exchange like True20, that means that the bonuses don't mean a thing.

+2 Str -2 Int just means that players can swap 2 Str for 2 Int if they chose.

Effectively I called that it just effected the starting min/maxes. ie +2 Str means that your Str has to be between -1 and 5 (rather than -3 and 3). -2 Int would mean that your Int needs to fall between -3 (the lowest) and 1 to begin.

Really that has no effect after the game begins as you can increase your ability scores.

It looks like you handled things a little different... I'm not sure how.

Honestly while I get great ideas from what you've put up, I often find it hard to follow as you only post half ideas (only the changes) and I don't have my book handy at work to see what changed and what didn't.

I understand why you did it, but it's just confusing.

I agree. I still keep the adjustments as player seem to like them. However, they have very little impact except on the min/max.

My apologies. I tried to make them clear. I am reluctant to post material from the IK or True 20 books. Not only is it copyright but it also saves me time. Some of the problem may arise from the fact that the IKCG is dense and much of the information obscure. If you have both the IKCG and True 20 handy it should be easy to follow.

I am happy to answer any questions you may have.

Just a note to say further editing and clean up of the conversion has been done. Anyone who wishes me to send a pdf version with a simplified IK PC Sheet should PM me.
