Fan Attempts at d20 Modern


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Have there been any fan-based attempts to Pathfinderize the d20 Modern rules? Especially the Urbana Arcana stuff?

Actually, a good question to ask first is would d20 Modern benefit from a Paizo wash? I never played it in the higher levels. Does it have the same scaling issues that 3.5 does?

Actually actually, the most important question: Isn't there a better word out there than "Pathfinderize" that means the same thing? I mean, seriously. That's a pretty big oversight, if there isn't.


I've also been looking for an upgrade to the d20 Modern rules. But I also wonder if d20 Modern was popular enough. I really enjoyed that game but a lot of people I know have either never heard of it or just didn't seem to enjoy it so much.

And I think a good synonym for "Pathfinderize" may simply be "improve." Because I'm finding it hard to argue otherwise.

Liberty's Edge

Personally, I found d20 Modern to be my favorite game system. Great diversity. At a very base level, you could simply substitute Pathfinder spells and add CMB and CMD. There are no "dead" levels in d20 Modern. But I suppose you could find little ways to boost each of the classes some.

Frankly, what I'd like is a revised d20 Modern that could be compatible with Pathfinder without tweaks, i.e., expand the Pathfinder universe.

I think the hardest thing would be with regards to armor class. In d20 Modern, there was less emphasis on armor and with class progression came armor class boosts. In that vein, it'd be imbalanced to simply drag and drop characters from one setting into the other.
