"A stealth drive takes up no extra tonnage but costs ten times the amount of a standard jump drive." It's the last sentence of the stealth j-drive entry in my copy of High Guard (pdf), page 43. Thanks, Whitt

"Easy because you are generally looking at 3-1 force structure (attacker needs 3x the forces the defender has) for a regular assault to have fewer casualties. You can also reverse that formula and say every defender is worth 3 attackers. That's just a casual observation based on battles that...

Yep. Dawning Star is more like a T9 one system setting. At the time when it came out, it was interesting, but the d20M rules were a little all over the place. The background was interesting. I've wondered why Blue Devil stopped working on it (besides the lack of interest in d20 Future?).

Found a used copy of it at Noble Knight Game (in case anyone was interested): http://www.nobleknight.com/ProductDetail.asp_Q_ProductID_E_10418_A_InventoryID_E_2147792739_A_ProductLineID_E_618_A_ManufacturerID_E_212_A_CategoryID_E_12_A_GenreID_E_ Fantasy Flight Games has this thread on one of...

Don't forget the Book of Bubba Bubba 5:25: And verily I say unto you, I looked upon my brothers face, and did proclaim loudly and with much mirth in a mighty voice "Hold my beer...and watch what I am about to do."

Jak, I was having a hard time with that ruling also (I was a recreation major, not a mathematician or enginner) so I did some digging myself. Here's the quote (page 50): "This margin of success is referred to as the Effect. For example, if a player rolls a 4 and 3, and has a +3 DM for a total...

The Central Supply Catalog has the Arc-field Sword...would probably match up to a power sword nicely. Also has the chain sword.

There are some models under the Ariadna army that would be perfect for Vargr characters, specifically the Equipe Mirage. There's another figurine of one of the "dog-warriors" characters wearing a kilt, Tearlach McMurrough (on the Mercenaries page). Could make an interesting character for a game.

"That is weight/mass not volume" Yep, that was the challenge. The ships I'm looking at don't list displacement tonnages, only weight. I appreciate the tip, I'll divide by 1.35. Once again, thanks. Whitt

I'm converting some of the ships from d20 Future to Traveller. In d20F, the weight of the ship is given in tons (I assume US tons). Is there a way to convert that value to dTons? Thanks, WhittD
