d20 Modern Conversion: Basic Classes

# Chapter 1: Characters

The classes in D&D 5th edition are rather specialised, all of them requiring some form of dedicated training, a very specific history, or a particular event to allow characters to access the abilities of this class. While this works wonderfully for the standard fantasy roster, it isn't quite so great if you want to run a campaign where such specificity isn't plausible.

In d20 Modern, the system is rather different; there are 6 basic character classes, each based on one of the 6 ability scores (which are shared with D&D). As you might imagine, these classes don't give any abilities which couldn't feasibly be gained through natural aptitude with a particular ability.

To give players the option for more specific learning, advanced classes are introduced, which provide the more niche skills characters may acquire.

## The Basic Classes

The classes in this conversion represent the wide range of skills and knowledge that people in modern world have easy access to. The six basic classes are as follows:
*   **Strong:** Levels in this class demonstrate training in athletic endeavours. Strong Heroes typically excel at melee combat.
*   **Fast:** Levels in this class indicate training in agility, hand-eye coordination, and reflexes. Fast Heroes typically excel at ranged combat
*	**Tough:** Levels in this class indicate improvement in physical fitness, health, and stamina.
*	**Smart:** Levels in this class provide the means to improve a character's reasoning and skills.

\columnbreak

*	**Dedicated:** Levels in this class demonstrate a devotion to a cause, an ideal, or a higher purpose. The Dedicated Hero's class features revolve around investigative, empathic, healing, and spiritual devotions.
*	**Charismatic:** Levels in this class indicate training in winning friends and influencing people with a combination of charm, confidence, and charisma. The Charismatic Hero can be a leader, a celebrity, a con artist, or a flirt.

## Advanced Classes

Advanced classes function identically to subclasses in standard D&D 5th Edition, with the exception being that all subclasses are available to all of the basic classes. For example, both Strong and Smart heroes can take the Soldier advanced class. Advanced classes are covered later on in this chapter.

## Multiclassing

Due to the changes in the class system, the multiclassing system is also changed slightly. These changes stop a multiclass character being forced into taking an additional advanced class, and allows characters to take multiple advanced classes without needing to take another hero class. These alterations are covered later on in this chapter.

>#### Class Power
>
>As might be expected for classes without specific training, these classes will generally be less powerful than the classes in the Player's Handbook at lower levels. Optionally, you can grant characters using these classes an additional feat at 1st level if you want to bolster their power slightly.
>
>Suggested feats for each of the classes are as follows:</br>
>**Strong Hero:** Athlete, Grappler or Tavern Brawler.</br>
>**Fast Hero:** Mobile, Alert or Athlete.</br>
>**Tough Hero:** Durable, Tough or Tavern Brawler.</br>
>**Smart Hero:** Healer, Linguist or Keen Mind.</br>
>**Dedicated Hero:** Observant, Alert or Healer.</br>
>**Charismatic Hero:** Actor, Inspiring Leader or Linguist.</br>

### Helpful

You can use the Help action as a reaction or as a bonus action. Additionally, when you use the Help action to aid an ally in attacking a creature, the target of that attack can be within 30 feet of you, rather than 5 feet of you, if the target can see or hear you.

### Caregiver

Starting at 2nd level, you can help revitalise your allies over the course of a short rest. If you or any friendly creatures spend hit dice over the course of the short rest by spending one or more Hit Dice, each of those creatures regains an extra 1d6 hit points.

The extra hit points increase when you reach certain levels in this class: to 1d8 at 6th level, 1d10 at 13th level, and 1d12 at 17th level.

### Danger Sense

At 2nd level, you gain an uncanny sense of when things nearby aren’t as they should be, giving you an edge when you dodge away from danger. You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you can see, such as traps and spells. To gain this benefit, you can’t be blinded, deafened, or incapacitated.

### Advanced Class

\pagebreakNum

### Ability Score Improvement

### Extra Attack

Starting at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

### Intuition

Starting at 5th level, you have a special insight into dangerous situations. When you use this ability make a Wisdom check. On results of 20 or above, ask the Game Master three questions from the following list. On results of 10 or above, ask the Game Master two questions from the following list. On results below 10, ask the Game Master one question from the following list.

- What happened here recently?
- What is about to happen?
- What here is useful or valuable to me?
- Who’s really in control here?
- What here is not what it appears to be?
- What is the most dangerous thing in this situation?
- What’s my best way in?
- What’s my best way out?
- Are there any dangers I haven’t noticed?
- What’s the biggest threat?

With the Game Master’s permission, you can ask a question that is not on the list, as long as it is along similar lines. The Game Master can qualify their answer in any way they like, but must provide as honest an answer as possible.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.

### Teamwork

Your skills can really make your allies shine. At 6th level, when you use the Help action, you can choose one ally within 60 feet of you that is allied with you. That creature may make one weapon attack with its reaction, provided that it can see or hear you.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.

### Expertise

At 9th level, choose two of your skill proficiencies. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.

### Rapport

Beginning at 9th level, your connection with others allows you to better aid them. When you use the help action, the creature you aid also adds your Wisdom modifier to their next ability check or attack roll.

\columnbreak

### Awareness

At 11th level, your perception of the world around you is almost supernatural. You have advantage on initiative rolls and cannot be surprised

### Improved Teamwork

You excel at getting people to work together as a unit. Beginning at 13th level, when you use you Teamwork feature, you can choose two allies within 60 feet of you rather than one.

Additionally, as a bonus action, select up to five allies within 60 feet of you who can see or hear you. They can use their reactions to immediately take actions. Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you complete a long rest.

### Unshakeable

At 14th level, you have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened.

### Cool Under Pressure

Beginning at 17th level, nothing can shake your confidence in a task in which you are skilled. Whenever you make an ability check that lets you add your proficiency bonus, you can use an action, bonus action, or reaction to treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.

### Superior Intuition

At 20th level, you have advantage on any Wisdom checks when using your Intuition feature.

Additionally, your Danger Sense feature applies even when you are blinded or deafened, and you gain blindsight to a range of 30 feet. If you already have blindsight, increase its range by 30 feet.

## The Charismatic Hero

The Charismatic Hero uses their Charisma score to best advantage. Taking a level in this class demonstrates a facility for connecting with others, developing proficiency at influencing their actions, and improving your ability to win their support through debate, compromise, or seduction. Personal magnetism, applied interaction techniques, and a touch of charm combine to define the Charismatic Hero.

A Charismatic Hero might be charming or engaging; they might be strikingly handsome or possessed of a great personal magnetism. They may be alluring or fascinating. Whether captivating or compelling, they are definitely appealing on a number of different levels.

### Examples Of Charismatic Heroes

Persuasive leaders, attractive celebrities and personalities, inspiring politicians, adept negotiators, entertainers, seducers, flirts, fast-talkers, con artists and suave gamblers all fall within the domain of the Charismatic Hero.

### Class Features
As a charismatic hero, you gain the following class features.

#### Hit Points
___
- **Hit Dice:** 1d8 per charismatic hero level
- **Hit Points at 1st Level:**  8 + your Constitution modifier
- **Hit Points at Higher Levels:** 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per charismatic hero level after 1st

### Charm

You can use an action to try and charm a creature. The creature must have an Intelligence score of at least 6, and be able to see and hear you. The creature must make a Wisdom saving throw with a DC of 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier. It has advantage on the saving throw if you or your companions are fighting it. On a failed save, the target is charmed. You must concentrate to maintain, this effect, as if concentrating on a spell.

The target repeats the saving throw after 1 minute to attempt to end the effect. If the creature’s saving throw is successful, it is immune to this ability for 24 hours. The effect ends immediately if the target is attacked or threatened.

### Inspiration

You can inspire others through stirring words. To do so, you use a bonus action on your turn to choose one creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear you. That creature gains one Inspiration die, a d6.

| 20th | +6 | Superior Inspiration |

\pagebreakNum

Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls the d20 before deciding to use the Inspiration die, but must decide before the GM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the Inspiration die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one Inspiration die at a time.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Your Inspiration die changes when you reach certain levels in this class. The die becomes a d8 at 6th level, a d10 at 9th level, and a d12 at 13th level.

### Favour

Beginning at 2nd level, you gain special consideration when calling in favours. When you choose to leverage your reputation, you can treat your reputation score as 10 points higher when determining how much the favour decreases your reputation. Once you have used this ability, you cannot use it again until you have finished a long rest.

At 9th and 17th levels you gain an additional use of this ability. You regain all expended uses once you have finished a long rest.

>#### Alternative Favour
>
>The Charismatic Hero "Favour" ability makes use of the reputation system introduced later in this chapter. For those that don't wish to use the reputation system, the following alternative ability is offered.
></br>
></br>
>Beginning at 2nd level, when talking to another character, you may attempt to gain a favour from them. By spending 1 minute or more talking to a character, you can ask them for a favour. To do so, make a Charisma (Persuasion) check, with a DC set by the GM, as appropriate for your relationship with that character. If you are successful, that character will provide the favour, provided it causes them no harm. Once you have used this ability, you cannot use it again until you have finished a long rest.
>
>At 9th and 17th levels you gain an additional use of this ability. You regain all expended uses once you have finished a long rest.

### Taunt

Starting at 2nd level, you gain the ability to undermine a target’s confidence.
You may use your bonus action to taunt a creature. The creature must have an Intelligence score of at least 6, and be able to see and hear you. The creature must make a Wisdom saving throw with a DC of 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier. On a failed save, the target has disadvantage on its next attack roll, ability check, or saving throw.

### Advanced Class

\columnbreak

### Ability Score Improvement

### Extra Attack

Starting at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

### Font of Inspiration

Beginning when you reach 5th level, you regain all of your expended uses of Inspiration when you finish a short or long rest.

### Bolstering Inspiration

Beginning at 6th level, your inspiring presence bolsters your allies. Whenever a creature rolls an Inspiration die granted by you, they gain temporary hit points equal to the Inspiration die roll + your Charisma modifier.

### Captivate

Starting at 11th level, when you use your Charm ability successfully, you can choose the render the creature unaware of its surroundings while you continue to hold its attention.

\pagebreakNum

As long as the creature is charmed by you, you become the target’s sole focus. The target pays no attention to anyone else. This focusing of the target’s attention allows other characters to take actions of which the captivated target is unaware. The target has disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks made to perceive anything other than you, and attacks against the target have advantage until the effect ends.

Additionally, you may now use your Charm feature against up to 3 creatures at once, though a separate Charm action is required for each creature you wish to charm.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.

### Dazzle

At 13th level, you gain ability to dazzle and distract at a moment’s notice
When a creature makes an attack against you, you can spend your reaction to add your Charisma modifier to your AC for the attack.

To apply this bonus, the creature must have an Intelligence score of at least 6, and be able to see and hear you.

\columnbreak

### Snap Out of It

You are exceedingly good at helping others overcome mental effects. At 14th level, you may use your action to speak to an ally within 60 feet that is Charmed or Frightened, ending either of those conditions on the target.

At the GM's discretion, this ability may be used to end other conditions, as long as the source of the condition is a psychological or magical effect.

### Improved Taunt

Starting at 17th level, your ability to fluster your targets with insults improves.

When a creature you can see fails on an attack roll, ability check or saving throw, you can use your Taunt action as a reaction against that creature.

Additionally, when a creature fails it’s saving throw against your Taunt they suffer disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws until the end of their turn.

### Superior Inspiration

At 20th level, when you roll initiative and have no uses of Inspiration left, you regain one use.
