This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What makes people think d20 is so great?

Quote from: James McMurrayOops. It's been a really long time since I played d20 Modern (and only for a small part of the introductory adventure). I thought it followed the Class AC bonuses and Armor as DR model.

Does it handle grenades as being like fireballs? I don't recall seeing any explode on impact aimed grenades, but we never had military gear so it never came up.

Essentially, though it does model some armor piercing explosives as ignoring hardness... this principally applies to things like tanks and buildings... which is what you'd be using shaped charges on, anyways. So this doesn't bug me as being as unfair an abstraction as the autofire thing does.
