I would, had I not a poor grasp of (d20 Modern it looks like?)  Sadly I only know 3.5 and Pathfinder.

Unless you can enlighten me about the system.  I'd give it a shot.

If you know 3.5, d20 modern wont be too far off for you.

I played it like... once.  I was rusty I'm sure.  I know classes are all "Strong Hero, Fast Hero, Funky Potato Hero", and I know I thought their system of wealth was really really messed up.  If this is enough knowledge for you, I may offer something up.  Something like...

...a highly religous fellow was once part of a church which ended up being part of something bad and wrong.  He was witness to things going all Silent Hill on him and somehow survived with foggy memories of the experience and having no idea how he got out of there.  Worse, all evidence of his little village even existing is completely gone.  Now anti-theist, he's still trying to prove that he is indeed from this "fictional town" and what in blazes he's seen, while harboring a great mistrust of all things religious.  If you can't trust the cross, maybe he can trust himself and a good iron pipe to the face.

This would be a very recent event as 'magic' has mostly just returned to the world.

As I figured.  I imagine it may segue well with the "vanishing" of everything outside of America's shoreline.

You'd need to be close to Philadelphia.

Sure.  Is the current story workable?  Or needs polish.  Or something else entirely.  I literally pulled it out of my stuffing just there after all.

Working on it now.  While I do, can you remind me how items and wealth goes in d20?  I remember there are DCs, and rolling, and I often got confused on the matter.

(EDIT: Looking over your custom classes.  PrCs rom the looks of it (so I'd be wo0rking towards them).  Sentitive, hmm, that sounds appropriate for what I described.  Also Scarred Veteran.  What do you think?)

Sensitive can be a double edged sword  ;)

Wealth will depend on your class, and can be modified by feats as well.  We'll get to that when you decide what you wanna be.

A quick preview... looks like I'm going to be a construction worker (Tough Hero) with Blue Collar worker as my starting occupation, and heading into Scarred Vet.  I'll want to have passable sanity too. but I suspect I might end up a tad MAD (as well as mad).  I'll work something out I'm sure.  If I recall d20, the numbers tend to be lower anyway.

Scratch that, I will go Sensitive after all with a Dedicated Hero.  Why be the construction worker when I could be the manager.  Really when they asked me to design the church with the seven sided star of Ur'gorbl-Shabbat I should have known something was up.  But back then I couldn't see inverted polycubes in flap jaw space.

Can you see this?  Work in progress, but should be enough to add items now.

You would probably be a carpenter or mason as opposed to a construction worker.  Lemme look through the rules for wealth by level.

That's the term, though I'm an architect now that I bumped myself into White Collar and put focus on skills over hp.  :3  I'll wait here then.  Waiting.  Staring.  Staaaarrrring.

Ah so I was right.  Then it will be whatever this is:

Rolled 2d4 : 2, 2, total 4


I saw a list of guns you had in another thread, but I don't know what the stats are.  The website provided had modern guns but I don't think those exist yet.

I don't plan to fight but when I do, I figure it will be at range with some manner of pistol.  Do you have suggestions on what to do?

After items, I think I'll be ready to play, and will officially post my sheet in the character sheet thread.

Did you add another 2 to your wealth score for being 3rd level?

Pistols are, for some reason, incredibly expensive compared to rifles, and aren't as effective.  Your Wealth Bonus should be +9 with your Occupation and Levels.  The Blunderbuss Pistol has a range increment of 5', does 2d8 damage, criticals on a 20, and is single shot.  The Snaplock Pistol is pretty much the same but only does 2d4 and has twice the range.  I'll send you some links.

Curses, four years too early for a 4-Barrel Pistol.  Given that, blunderbuss looks to be the answer.  It's intended as a threatening tool if anything, and what's more threatening than a hand cannon?  That range is gonna hurt (I presume ranged weapons in melee still provoke) so I'll just have to be careful.

Also I can take 10 on that one, so that's good.

If I read the rules correctly what I should do is buy all my cheap stuff, anything 9 and below, then buy the gun by taking 10, which drops me down to +8.  Then if I want to do anything further (probably not) go from there.  Right?

Shopping...

Your Wealth Bonus goes down by 1 anytime you purchase an item DC 15 or higher, abd anytime you purchase something higher than your current wealth bonus.  Sending you nother link.  Scroll down to page 90 or so

Should be done.  Give it the official stamp of approval and I'll move it to the sheet thread.

A few items I didn't have weights for, maked with ?, and one item I didn't have a price for.  It seems rather trivial though so I can't imagine it would change anything (diary and pen).
