I don't think a level 20 character really needs action points. Also, since d20 Modern doesn't advance past level 20 for some reason, the game apparently stops there.
But I guess if my group ever hits lvl 20, we'll just snatch the epic XP progression from D&D and keep playing.

Where does it say that you can't go beyond level twenty? Is it just that the XP table doesn't go higher?

Anyhow, your character who's stuck at 20, he can always do awesome things so the GM can award him action points. :P

Aug 31, 2008 14:20:15 I know people discuss whether d20 Modern goes beyond level 20 or not, and I'd like to say that it's not meant to - all the tables stop at level 20. That doesn't mean that an d20 Modern Epic Handbook could be created, homebrew or official.

Just tossing ideas around.
