[QUOTE="TheEldereye, post: 2707922, member: 17739"] I actually bought a PDF of True20 over the weekend because I wanted to check out the Damage Save rules. I've been a fan of the "wound level" since my days playing the James Bond RPG. I like them, I'm surprised that you say they make it harder to die? My feeling when reading them, was "wow...might need to roll up back up PCs". Maybe it was just how the guns from WWII converted - most were +2 to +6 for pistols, but the M2 .50 Machinegun was a +10, and the M1 Garand was a +8. I had been using the VP/WP system and although it worked fine I've never liked describing it while playing. I was thinking today that I'd go with begining PCs actually being the equivelent of 3rd level D20 PCs. When we were playing WW2 D20 last year we always made 3rd level troopers and we had plenty of death over our short campaign. What I've been thinking today is that a player would first select a nationality. It would grant a feat like special ability. Then a player would chose skills representing pre-war background. A cap would be in place (maybe) based on the age of the PC (i don't know). Then the final step would be to set up Saves, BAB, Feats, etc for the military training. In the last two parts templates would be available for those that like them or to help design the soldier your looking for. All of this would basically create a PC of about 3rd level D20 capability.
