I NTRODUCTION
This supplement includes twenty-two new talent trees for the
d20 Modern RPG system. These talent trees were developed
during the play-testing phase of M odern Eras (1939-1945) ,
the d20 WWII supplement from Bloodstone Press. However,
do not let that stop you from using them in any other sort of
Modern setting. There are also a few talent trees here that
offer a slight fantasy feel, for those who like using the Modern
rules for sword and sorcery adventure.
Many of these talents have been extrapolated from other
previously published OGC sources, including the SRD. Others
have been developed from scratch. Although all have been
rigorously considered, clarifications may still be in order. If
you have any questions or need clarification concerning these
rules do not hesitate to contact us at questions@bloodstone-
press.com . we will do our best to get you an answer and we
will try to make suitable adjustments to future releases of this
material.
Related Material
The d20 Modern Core Rules are required to use this
supplement. Talents followed by an “(SRD)” notation can be
found in the d20 Modern SRD. Furthermore, many of these
talent trees are suitable for use with Modern Eras (1939-1945) ,
the WWII d20 Modern supplement from Bloodstone Press.
Animals with a “[PC]” notation after them can be found in
Chapter 12 of the Primal Codex . Animals with a “[BL]”
notation after them can be found in the Bane Ledger.
