Fallout D20 [The master wants YOU. To join his dark armies]

[lazerus]

With the recent death of the forums D&D game (run by tycho), i was thinking of starting a sci-fi game.

I have a set of rules for "Fallout D20" (D20 run in a setting based off the game of course). Their half finished, but i could dust them off and finish them.

Before i finish balencing them, i wanted to see if there would be any intrest in this.

Why not use the Gamma World books and convert the Fallout stats with them?

Why not use the Gamma World books and convert the Fallout stats with them?

1) Because i don't have the Gamma World books.
2) Because it's more customizeable this way.

So would you be interested in playing?

[DPDarkPrimus]

Ask Utsanomiko for his precious D6 set-up for the defunct Fallout campaign.

Argh, the forum won't display the table correctly.

[lazerus]

I'm just about done with the other classes......but is this one good, bad, what?

Doesn't seem horribly unbalanced so far.

[lazerus]

You know the type, their vaguely aware of the fact that it might be possible to attack in a way that ISN'T a called shot to the eyes. The damage may seem high, but remember, the nice man with the chain gun will be ripping into you while your aimin.

Snipe: A sniper that takes extra time to aim as his target (between 1 and 3 rounds), can receive a bonus to his attack roll and damage (between +1 and +3 respectivly).

Headshot: By aiming for hard to hit areas, a sniper can do extra damage. A snipe can take a penalty to their attack roll equal to or less then their BAB. Add this number to damage. If the hit is a critical hit, this damage IS multiplied.

Hole in Their armor: Every armor has weak points, a sniper can take advantage of that. A sniper that spends a full round firing one shot halves any AC and/or DR provided by their foes armor.

That Looked Painfull: A sniper is a master of making his weapons hit where it hurts, any sniper that uses his “Snipe” ability to the full +3 adds this much to their damage. In the event of a critical hit this damage is multiplied.

[lazerus]

You know the type, the type that's dagerous with anything more powerfull then a BB-gun. If his name is Ian, i would keep the BB guy away from him.

[Utsanomiko]

Ask Utsanomiko for his precious D6 set-up for the defunct Fallout campaign.

It's still your guys' move; you gonna check your map and put on your goggles, or just step cluessly into open air and direct sunlight?

I'd only share it with those who earned it, and even suggesting to run Fallout with D20 is not the way to do so.

Have fun shruggin off shotgun blasts...

[lazerus]

I'd only share it with those who earned it, and even suggesting to run Fallout with D20 is not the way to do so.

I prefer the actual d100 rules the game runs off, but i figured more people would know how to run D20.

hmmmmm. Maybe Fallout HERO?

[Utsanomiko]

The official P&P version of GURPS might be the more accurate system. There's guides and rulbooks to it floating all over the net.

[lazerus]

Super Mutants are tougher, stronger, and just plain more badass then any other race. But super strentgh and toughness vs guns....well.....it evens out.


SUPER MUTANTS
Description: Like mutants, but SUPER. They look like the incredable hulk, only a foot taller and 80IQ points dumber.

Traits:
+10 STR
+8 CON
-4 WIS
-4 INT
-4 DEX

Mutants gain feats once every four levels.

Super Mutants may not wear any armor other then leather armor, and even that has to be custom made. They just don't make armor that big.

Super Mutants may not wield small arms of any type. And may not wield any energy weapon but the plasma rifle.

[lazerus]

Humans are just like they are in any other D20 system.
--

GHOULS [Template]
"Ghoul" is a template that can be applied to any human charachter.

+4 INT
+4 WIS
-2 DEX
-2 STR
-2 CON

Ghouls, ulike other races, are healed by radation and are immune to desease. (the germs can't handle it)

Ghouls cannot wield Heavy Weapons.

[lazerus]

INTELLEGENT DEATHCLAWS
Descrption: Their 1/2 goat, 1/2 rat. 1/2 Bull, 1/2 FEV, and 1/2 Tohmsons Lizard. That's a total of 2 and a half homicidal mainacs.

+8 STR
+10 CON
+4 DEX
-4 INT

1d12 claws.

Deathclaws may not wear armor of any type. They may not wield weapons. They cannot operate anything that requires thumbs.

--

Special Rules: Deathclaws that take ranks in the skirmisher class can use their "Kung Foo Grip" ability to add damage to their claws. That damage starts as +1d4 and then increases normally.

[lazerus]

I know the race ajustments for mutant and deathclaws seen horrendusly broken, but bear in mind, that in early game mutants will be forced to fight hand to hand. And it late game, deathclaws will be somewhat lacking in damage. So it works out to roughly fair.

I might tweak it a bit later on.

[lazerus]

Special Rules:

You start with two feats and two traits at first level. [Humans start with three feats]

Sniper: A loaded pistol and 1d6 extra clips for it. (you can choose one, or, if you don't have the D20 Guide to Firearms, i can suggest one.)

Machine Gunner: A loaded pistol and 1d6 extra clips for it. (you can choose one, or, if you don't have the D20 Guide to Firearms, i can suggest one.)
