Contents. History Wizards released d20 Modern in 2002 at the same time the company was revamping its role-playing game.: 288 Wizards expanded from their work with the game, developing one of d20 Modern's setting into a full sourcebook the (2003), and afterward they extended d20 even further with the science-fiction (2004) and the historical (2005); they closed out the line in 2006 with another campaign setting, the classic (2006) for d20 Modern.: 292 Alterations to the d20 System. Main article: Basic Classes In d20 Modern each character is referred to as a hero. All heroes start with a first level basic class.

Each basic class corresponds to one of the six in the. They have their own set of skills, feats, talents, saves, hit dice, wealth bonus, and so on.

A hero will become a specific hero, but it depends on the players in what ability they favor. The six basic classes are: The Strong Hero, based on Strength (STR). These heroes are brawny, and they greatly favor melee combat. The Fast Hero, based on Dexterity (DEX). They’re nimble and quick, and able to evade most incoming attacks.

The Tough Hero, based on Constitution (CON). Difficult to take down and can resist most sicknesses. The Smart Hero, based on Intelligence (INT). The typical know-it-all hero has most the skills and points.

The Dedicated Hero, based on Wisdom (WIS). A strong intuitive hero and always vigilant. The Charismatic Hero, based on Charisma (CHA). A hero who has a way with words and personal magnetism. Advanced Classes In addition to basic classes, there are also advanced classes.

Similar to basic classes but with requirements to fulfill. There's 14 advanced classes to qualify: Acolyte, Bodyguard, Daredevil, Field Medic, Field Scientist, Gunslinger, Infiltrator, Investigator, Mage, Martial Artist, Negotiator, Personality, Soldier, and Techie. Advanced classes can be easily achieved depending on the hero's basic class.

For instance, a Tough Hero can be an excellent candidate for Bodyguard or Daredevil. In later levels, the player may choose to multiclass their hero. A Strong and Dedicated hero, or Smart and Field Scientist hero, are examples.

There’s no limitations how many classes the hero may have, but heroes tend to have two or three classes. However, some Gamemasters (GMs) may have restrictions on certain advanced classes in his or her campaign. Thus, the advanced classes might be tougher to acquire or won't be available. The most frowned upon advanced classes are the Acolyte and Mage. Gamemasters tend to shun these classes because they involve spellcasting, as seen in. Reasons may greatly vary on the Gamemaster.

Action Points One of the interesting additions to the system was the action points. Actions points are used by characters to affect game play greatly. Whenever a character spends one action point, the character receives a small boost in his or her skill checks, ability checks, level checks, or saving throws. There's a bit of restriction when and where to use them. As the character spends these points, they're very limited. However, through level advancement, he or she replenishes spent action points. Feats, Skills, and Items In order to fit the d20 Modern setting, some skills and items are reworded and rebalanced, and both the feats and skills mechanics receive expansions.

Also included are game statistics for both modern weapons and 'archaic' weapons, such as swords, axes, and crossbows. Occupations and Wealth Bonus Occupations aren't considered classes but acts as a job or career a character holds. He or she may hold multiple occupations, but overtime. There's over 19 different occupations and each with their own restrictions, such as age. As well, they open more options when choosing skills and higher Wealth bonus.

The 19 occupations are: Academic, Adventurer, Athlete, Blue Collar, Celebrity, Creative, Criminal, Dilettante, Doctor, Emergency Services, Entrepreneur, Investigative, Law Enforcement, Military, Religious, Rural, Student, Technician, and White Collar. Instead of using real-world currency, such as (USD) or (EUR), it’s been replaced with the Wealth bonus. It functions just like any real-world currency: income, credit, debit, to deposit or withdraw, purchasing and selling, and so on. It also defines the characters financial conditions from being opulent to impoverishment. All characters have their own wealth. Determining wealth at first level, the player rolls a four sided die two times (1d4), and then adds the results together.

The result can be increased by occupation, the Windfall feat, and the Profession skill. Whenever the character advances in level, the player rolls a Profession check. Campaign settings d20 Modern presents three sample campaign settings. These settings, unlike the rest of the book, feature the supernatural. Shadow Chasers In this setting, evil monsters, usually from one or more parallel dimensions, roam free around the world. However, most people do not see these creatures for what they really are, seeing instead a vague approximation which is still plausible in that person's beliefs about reality.

The player characters are somehow capable of seeing through this veil, and typically take on responsibility for defending humanity from the monsters. It originally appeared as a d20 mini-game in issue #150. Agents of Psi In this campaign setting, magic (at least in the traditional sense) does not exist, but psychic capabilities called do. Player characters typically work for a government agency investigating and/or using this quasi-supernatural force, but this is only a suggestion and is not strictly required by the rules. A novella taking place in this setting was published on the WotC website.

Urban Arcana. Main article: In this setting, rule the boardrooms and rule the streets. It is a world where monsters and magic exist, yet the human psyche just cannot fathom them and covers up all supernatural events. Some, however, break that barrier and become aware of the world around them, and help Mages, Acolytes, and other magical characters fight with monsters from another realm. This campaign setting combines aspects of the previous two settings ( Shadow Chasers & Agents of Psi) and uses the concept that all three settings coexist in the same reality (at least in Urban Arcana).
