    Default d20 mordern capaign: the time is counting down! Help!

    So, um, I have a situation. in 4 hours and 30 minutes, I will be running a one shot, d20 modern zombie extravaganza. My problem is, I've been drafted into service at a dinner party, and the time I was going to use to craft some last minute details is now going to be spent serving cocktail weenies. Oi.

    So.. I humbly request help. I know I don't have enough time to do all I want to do. I have a very specific request, and would GREATLY APPRECIATE any forum goers who want to help me. the other thing to note is I'll be running a lap top with an internet connection, so there is no time limit to submit help.

    What I need: Special ops units: a team of level 4-8 NPC's, with their own set of tactics.

    4 level 4 heroes.
    2 level 6 heroes.
    1 level 8 smart hero/tactical leader. Her name is "Queen Iona".

    This task force is going to be opposing the PCs in their race to protect the VIP and secure a military installation. Both groups will be unsuccessful, and we'll end up with zombies with lazers.

    Any creativity in names/stats is appreciated. Please use a 17 point buy for the grunts, and a 27 point by for the queen. Multi-classing and "advanced" classing is great and encouraged.

    (please equip them as well. The queen will have her own set of cybernetic armor, so don't worry about that specific piece. Don't worry about wealth or whatever, just give them apropos items)


    Second request for you super forum goers: A helicopter team, consisting of a driver and passenger, and gunner. All should be level 5 heroes, and the helicopter needs to have some sort of mounted turret.



    I will be indebted to anyone who helps in any way possibly and will have your love children. <3 <3 <3


    Also, anyone can help out.. the d20 modern srd is hosted in a variety of places.


    <3!

    Awesome Yami! I'm really grateful. Things are starting up, once a few players get off work.. I would like note that both d20 srds have advanced classes, they're just hidden a little bit :p

    Sorry I couldn't give you a full Tactical squad, but I can add some tactical help with the heli squad, if need be.

    For one, the heli squad may need to leave said heli. Hopefully not, but who can tell with those wacky PC antics.

    If this happens I'd think the passenger/sniper would become the 'man of the hour'. I.E. tactics would revolve around getting him to a position of cover with a good view, gunner would then be focused on guarding him with the pilot watching everyone's back.

    As for the Spec Ops team, well I hope it's already together...

    The game must have already started by now but if you send me a private message after your session ends I can help you make things. Sunday is free and I'll be sitting on my bum for most of it.

    This BORING. I HATE IT!

    But I'm very disciplined so you should be very proud of me!

    Don't forget to say 'Thank you very much.'

    Doc Steel
    Starting out as a relief worker in developing countries he was swept up in military recruitment advertisements. He thought he could help stop the fighting before it got to the people he was always bagging and tagging. Military service has made him hard but he still tries to spend his time stitching up bullet wounds instead of causing them. He has been wounded several times in the line of duty and has a reputation for ‘toughing it out.’

    FPMS (Fast Point Man Shooter)
    He has fast reflexes and a fast trigger finger. He almost always gets to be the first one around the corner on a mission. With plans to commit to his military career for life he doesn’t get out much. The mission is the only thing that matters to him – he’ll do his job at all costs but he doesn’t have an itchy trigger finger.

    Base Attack Bonus: +2

    I hope I haven't made too many mistakes.

    Consider these two well-equipped. They'll have whatever gear they might need for whatever situation arises during the mission. They'll have carefully considered their equipment before they go in the field.

    There is a lot of material there. I'm sure Glyphic will be very grateful for your suggestion. I am too, as it takes away the looming threat of having to do more writing.
