Nov 08, 2010 21:45:38 Hello all. I normally don't run a campaign in d20 Modern, but I've decided to do so, since it fit the settling well. Anyway, I have one simple question that I can't get a specific answer to: to Defense Bonuses granted from classes stack with one another?

I have aplayer who's going into Smart, Strong, and then Soldier, and this is a question that I can't find a specific answer on. Since they're all bonuses of the same type, my gut responce is "no," but it never hurts to double-check.

Thank you for your time.

And yes, it is a pain to try to administer/houserule the problem of folks Dipping just a couple levels of Fast to grab that frontloaded ClassDef bonus and Evasion(aka bombproof)

Nov 09, 2010 9:56:52 Thank you very much. Guess I've been playing too much D&D.

And yes, it might be a pain, but in this campaign, it might mean they're not specializing when they should, which can lead to problems.

Again, thank you for your time.

Nov 10, 2010 20:51:19 yeah, they all stack.

it gets annying when everyone has 2 or 3 levels in fast, or even 1, but you know, d20 modern was built like to be like that.

many of the players i have had that did that, later on, about levels 5 or 6, actually regretted dipping into fast.
