What does "Mas" mean in ModernD20

[Leopold]

what does that stat mean? I looked everywhere for a primer on it and didn't see anything. Is it a new stat? New modifier? What is it based off of??

i looked through all of the stuff on the WotC site and couldn't find it, either. they do have d20 Modern boards up and a couple of FAQ threads if you really want to know, you could post there...

It appears to be the Massive Damage Threshold, based on the Con Score.

The Massive Damage Threshold is different in D20M, as far as I recall.

Edit: Look at the Unofficial FAQ, under the Combat post.

d20 Modern uses a modified version of the Massive Damage Threshold rule. If the damage you take from a single hit is greater than your Con score, you must make a Fortitude save (DC15) or be reduced to -1 hit points.

Since the Mas and Con score appear to be the same in all cases, it is the only logical choice.

that's true in the Bugbear example - http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=d20modern/article/20020930b

i thought it meant More.

i guess i'm getting too used to munchkinism.

From the website:
You might want to spend a few minutes considering whether you really want d20 Modern-ized kobolds running around the Forgotten Realms with frag grenades.

Clearly, the answer is yes.

I concur with Knight Otu's assessment.
