ok guys, for one, hey how are all ya doing? i've been
gone for a bit. just started my new job as a bail enforcement agent. I get
to kick doors in and kidnap people!!! Well, not really. i just get to go
after court runners and make them go to court. but i do get a gun! and a
badge! go me! next off, i've been playing around with d20 Modern, my favorite d20 system, and decided actually it seems to work really really well with Wheel of Time. Of course, there will be a few snags, and i get to make a couple advanced and prestige classes, but where's the fun in an easy job! if you guys want, i can keep posting the work i've been playing around with. For now, here's some ideas i've been having for converting classes from WoT to d20 Modern. It's up to the player what basic hero classes to take, but the character's Ability scores should be a good idea. For more tips on converting, look at the DnD to D20 Modern section in the back of Urban Arcana. That does some good stuff, especially converting money to Wealth bonuses. Core Classes Algai'd'siswai = debating between Soldier and Swashbuckler... Soldier most likely though Armsman = Soldier Initiate = Channeler (new AdC) Noble = Personality or Negotiator Wanderer = Scoundrel (new AdC) or Negotiator Wilder = Channeler Woodsman = Wildlord Prestige Classes Aes Sedai = Initiated (new PrC) Asha'man = Initiated (new PrC) Blademaster = Archaic Weaponsmaster Commander = Commander (new AdC) Gleeman = Personality Thief-taker = Shadow Hunter Warder = Bodyguard Windfinder = Initiated (new PrC) Wise One = Initiated (new PrC) Wolfbrother = Debating whether to just make this Lost Ability Feats or an actual AdC.... Notice that, for one, you could be a blademaster without ever being an enlisted warrior, which is fairly consistant. Blademaster is just as much an occupation as a Soldier. Second, i know i put both algai and armsmen in the same class, but essentially they're the same roll: specialized military warriors. Besides, Soldier has their skills, so it's no big whoop. plus the soldier class features make anyone evil. Third, note that i left only 2 channeling classes, the advanced class Channeler, and the prestige class Initiated. The channeler is anyone who channels, while Initiated gives you access to greater power, as well as resources and tradition abilities, depending on what tradition you are (Aes Sedai, Asha'man, Damane, Windfinder, Wise One, and Dreadlord (not available to PC's)). Tell me your ideas so far. next thing i'll go into is Channeling. I was thinking of switching it to a skill-based system, since that's more in line with the books anyhow. You can slip up and mess a weave, or do it so spectacularly that it baffles the mind. Something the current system can't handle yet. We'll see. -------------------- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this rant's

Well, you just got saved a LOT of work. That is
exactly what the Age of Discovery netbook covers.

Magus...if it makes you feel any better there's
always room for more prestige and advanced classes!

There is definitely more room. Infact, the AoD/AoL
page has spots available for additional material...AAAAANNNNNNNDDD if it's
good enough, I will update the AoD netbook with your new stuff. minor note:I have already made a new Channeler Base class and there are 2 new channeler AdCs, but feel free to create a new one or two. -------------------- |

hrm.... well my ideas were no channeler base class
(though a feat similar to Mystical Heritage was in the works), and just a
uniform singular Channeling AdC and a universal PrC for those who master
their tradition. what all you got so far? feel free to pm or email me if
you don't want the public to know. *oh and punches both Sharn and Manty back and grumbles* so what if i sleep all the time..... -------------------- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this rant's

The whole thing is over at the new Call for download.
I haven't worked on it for a long time. Officially it is "complete", but
any gamer worth their salt knows that no setting is EVER complete.

Just a thought, but when I started working on the War
of Power stuff I was at a loss with how to deal with channelers and I
think that same applies to your netbook setting. Pretty much in both
timeperiods certain people can channeler but I think (I'm certain in the
AoL and assume in yours) that channeling is not their primary activity or
even course of study in comparison to their profession etc. What I think
that I am going to do is create two channeling "paths", the first being a
base channeling class, the second being a non-class channeling path that
is more like a bloodline trait from unearthed arcana. So that a character
who can channeler but is in actuality much more of a mechanic, for
instance, can still take a more mechanic based class while getting some of
the benefits of being a channeler. Of course every three levels they would
have to take a level in "channeler" or forgo any further gain that they
would get from being a channeler, so it evens things out a lot in the
end. I know that the way you have character classes set up in the netbook is very different (I'm not at all familiar with d20 modern so it just seeming wierd to me) but I thought that I'd share just in case it was helpful. -------------------- Legends of Darkness Are Not Always Myths - An Ongoing

If you look at the 7th stat system that I set up for
the netbook, you'll see how I handled it. Basically, the Power ability
score determines whether you can take a channeling class and whether it is
absolutely necessary to take one in order to channel.

zarazonia, if youre going to make them take a level
of chaneler every third level, why not just have them multyclass into it?
I Might just be saying that casue I really dislike the bloodline gunk in
UA, but hey, thats just my 2 cp |

Because with the bloodlines, you dont get the benefits of a class. You *miss* a class so to speak to take something special. I dunno, maybe it doesn't work...but I dont want somebody who is specializing in something wholly differnt from the power to get channeler class features just so that they can channel. That doesn't seem right to me somehow. Basically I figure that there were two kinds of channelers, those that trained and use their channeling abilities, and those that did other things had had enough channeling abilites to just help them out with what they did. And I dont think that the initiate and wilder classes from Wizards work in that respect, basically I mean the character who might only use his channeling ability to help him forge armor, or the one who might use it to figure out what was wrong with a machine. They wouldn't have the multidudes of weaves or lots of affinities, because they wouldn't need them. If that makes any sense. ![]() -------------------- Legends of Darkness Are Not Always Myths - An Ongoing
