  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

  • Personas of Warzone
    Personas of Warzone There are many personalities that have risen to the ranks of fame or notoriety, and many are included in existing armies. These few do not begin to scratch the surface of how many heroes and villains inhabit the Solar System, fighting in the various warzones across the planets. These steps will allow you to create your own characters to add your own individuality and narrative to your armies. 1. Name the Character 2. Select Character Type 3. Select Weapons 4. Select Additional Abilities Example: Lt. Butters starts out as a Capitol Airborne Cavalry for (+18) PTS. Air Cavalry are Level 1 so add (+30). He decides to swap out his M50 Assault rifle for an M606 LMG for (+10) PTS and his Air Cavalry Knife for a Punisher Shortsword (+10) PTS. He has also received extra training to be more vigilant, so he adds (+10) for Guardsman. His total points cost is 78. 1. Name the Character: The first thing you need to do is come up with a suitable heroic or villainous name for the new Character. This should reflect the theme and feel of the Mutant Chronicles universe! 2. Select Character Type: Start with a base squad All models lose “Type: Troop, Support, Monster, Small Base” and gain “Type: Character, Unique, Medium Base”. Models with larger bases in their entry keep the base size of that entry. All models come with the standard Equipment and Abilities listed in the corresponding squad entry, as well as appropriate Squad Options.

    Hire a celebrity look-alike to come and mingle with the guests and watch their bungled reactions Lucid dreaming stories are tremendously different and wonderful practice In lucid dreaming, there is a point when people came to know that they are dreaming and even they can speak to their selves that they are in a dream An opportunity to do religious work is given by lucid dreaming In dreaming phase, a person is able to conclude what he wants, and performs actions accordingly There is a difference between normal dreams and lucid dream When a normal person starts dreaming, he can control a little on what's happening in his dream It is like that a person is flounced along with the story and he is only a bit is able to say that what happens in it Many crazy and stupid things also happened in the dreams and people considered it as o normal, and ordinary thing A person is having a tendency not to diminish anything But, when a person become lucid, a state of being consciousness and awareness that he feels his dream actually happens in real when he wake up the next morning These lucid dreaming stories will let a person remain in the world of dream with the full alertness of everyday activities So, an ability of a person to have awareness at the same time of dreaming is called a lucid dream Any person in real can experience whatever he imagines Lucid dreaming becomes as practical and realistic as the world is While lucid dreaming, a person can go for anything what he would like to have a chance in real life At the Lucidity Institute, Stephen Laberge

The Engesa EE-T1 Osorio was a surprising development for Brazil – a tank that, while not in the class of the latest tanks of the time, one that was far above the league of the typical third-world offerings. In design, it was similar to many tanks of the time; this was not surprising, since Engesa had a lot of help from West German, British and French armor experts. The EE-T1 was very promising – an excellent design that several countries were very interested in. The Saudis in particular went as far as to place a pre- order of 318 for the Osorio. That deal, however, was essentially killed when the Saudis saw the incredible performance of the M-1 Abrams and the British Challenger, and they literally cancelled the Osorio order at the last moment. This resulted in the cancellation of demonstrations to other countries, the demise of Engesa, and with it a promising medium tank.
