[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 1740440, member: 463"] I don't really use a geometric-power-increase assumption for my modern d20 games - a 12th level warrior isn't worth 2 10th levellers, he's worth maybe 2 6th-levellers or a couple dozen 1st level, depending on circumstance. I don't much like "a 10th level character is tougher than an MBT", either. I've been using input here to update my Cyperpunk d20 rules - I found a handy version online (d20cyberpunk.rtf) that was very similar to my old AD&D version, using that as base. My system is intended so the 12th level Russian Solo can take on the US M1A2 MBT, not by breaking it apart with his bare hands but by using _tactics_ - that DR 1200 is for attacks vs the M1A2's sloped frontal armour of course, you can get it down to DR 150 if you sneak around the back... easy meat for a HEAT RPG round. d20Modern seems almost viscerally hostile to this approach, making it unusable except for modern-Hollywood-action 'Mission Impossible' or 'True Lies' stuff and totally unsuitable for 'war story' or even Gibson-esque Cyberpunk (ok, for Matrix-type Cyberpunk it's fine...) *sigh* [/QUOTE]
