[QUOTE="Jim Hague, post: 3570442, member: 17550"] There is almost [i]no[/i] background material in the True20 Survivor's Handbook. Personally, I don't consider that a bad thing. The only stuff in the SH are Backgrounds, Feats and [i]stuff[/i] - weapons, armor, widgets of various sorts. Feats also include an extensive and decently-done mutations system. No creature stats are provided, but there's a Mutant template to apply to various creatures. Over all, it's a good book...but with some caveats: *There's a lot of straight conversion work done, and that means things aren't quite in sync with the system. Particularly, there's some charts that use polyhedrals not found in True20 (which uses just the d20), and weapon damages are (IMO) way, way, way out of proportion - some doing +18 damage and above, which is fairly nuts, given the Toughness doesn't escalate like Hit Points. *There's some editing errors that slipped through the cracks, particular referencing other DW books that have not been converted as yet. I'm hoping Chuck'll come on to address these issues - it's nothing major, honestly, and easily fixed with applying another editorial pass and some of the existing material from the True20 Companion.
