Modern20
[ Home ]

Modern²⁰ (usually Modern20 when the superscript is not supported) is a role-playing game system derived from Wizard of the Coast's d20 Modern, but intended to better support fast-paced action movie style games.

One difference is the introduction of skill-based perks, which allow a character to perform more specialized tasks. There is a Wealth score, but rather than making Wealth checks the score is permanently reduced if an item costs too much. Weapons have minimum ability requirements, criticals are replaced with a hit location system, and blunt weapons do nonlethal damage unless the attack rolls exceeds a certain threshold. Advancing in levels is entirely based on achieving major story goals, rather than on the accumulation of experience. There are no chase rules.

The parent system is: d20 Modern.
