[QUOTE="TwoSix, post: 9586478, member: 205"] That's fair. You simply set up the narration that guns aren't crazily more effective than medieval/fantasy weaponry, people on Earth simply don't (or didn't) enjoy any sort of supernatural resilience. A 10th level fighter can take a few bullets just like they take sword swings or claws. Tools could definitely work. Land vehicles becomes medieval land vehicles. Then have tool proficiences for autos, motorcyles, large vehicles, planes, etc. Some skills would need to be context-specific. History for a fantasy world refugee wouldn't necessarily include knowledge of ancient Egypt; likewise, History for an Earth human wouldn't cover the War of the Lich-Kings. That would depend on the relative recency of the fantasy world migration, though. Big difference between "last year" and "50 years ago". If the focus is more on Earth humans as PCs, I might have more Int skills that focus on broad Earth-relevant topics. Science and Law come to mind. "Computers" could be a skill, or could be a tool proficiency. Really, this comes down to a worldbuilding question. Ideally, I'd take the main magical classes (and magical underpinnings) and decide how they work on Earth. Can normal Earth humans level? Can they learn wizardry? Does divine magic work on faith, and is thus open to the faithful of Earth? Can a talented musician gain bardic magic? [/QUOTE]
