d20 Modern - Traceur AdC

[nadaka]

I just got back from the movie "You don't mess with the Zohan" and this combined with martial artist would fit him rather well if you don't mind having an epic level character.

Definitely.  Then again, the gun fans might just hate this because it helps melee characters close with them even easier! 

Isn't that the function of a melee character?

[j0lt]

Yes, yes it is.  But as it stands with d20 Modern, firearms really provide no advantage, and in some situations a disadvantage.  Using this class with increase the advantage of a melee character, this making fans of the "guns trump all" theory do this:

Nahh... CloseCombatShot+Shotgun+GoodShotgunHouserules =  to a superfast closing-in melee build.

Tema-
play more characters up from 1st and you will see what he means.

Mongo dont even need to spend a feat to get Prof Club,
whearas PistolPete is already a feat behind the curve at 1st, just to get PersFirearmProf.  Then tack on Close CombatShot and a guy has to be what level to deal with Charging Mongo the 60' Featless First?

Ehm...   If you can do a Traceur vs. Gunguy, I'm pretty sure you can give the gunguy 1 level of Gunslinger, since you need at least to be level 3 before you can take a level in Traceur or Gunslinger.

I wasn't comparing featless mongo vs. gunslinger at all.

Made a few edits to make the class work better.  (also discovered a serious flaw with one of the old abilities, it didn't give you anything that any character can't already do automatically)

Still not sure if I'm completely happy with the 7th and 8th level abilities.  They're both a little too similar.  (those who play D&D with Psionics may recognize the 7th level ability as the Up The Walls psionic feat)

Comments?

Ha ha I have to think you for this, Jace hooked me up with the papers and I was able to make a french parkour using character in a Black Isles Campaign. It was one of my first more serious playing situations and I had loads of fun, using the traceur's abilities to leap onto high places and shoot down from them and make the other PC's jealous when I would climb and tumble off ridiculous things taking no damage and looking fucking cool while I'm at it.

[j0lt]

Haha, awesome!  He told me all about your character back when the game was running.  What level did you get to?

[ragincajun2288]

Honestly I don't remember what lvl I got up too. But I remember it wasn't very high. Unfortunately I had to move to another state so my character wasn't able to continue training.

[jacemachine]

The Answer is Level 3 actually. I'm PRETTY sure that everyone was still level three when you had come aboard.
