Re: [DL] Greetings board and a prestige class for critiquing.

[Brom Clancy <spleen23@webtrolls.com>]

From what I've seen the basic step for adjusting 
something in d20 is a +2 or -2.
Thinking that waveing lite dynamite would probaly 
give a +2 to anyone's intimidation roll, a mad bomber 
ability might be just a additional +2, giveing a 
Nitro-man a nice +4 to his intimidation.

Mind if I rewrite the Nitro-mans special abilities as 
old school DL advantages for the list and my webpage?

If any other prestige classes for d20 DL have special 
abilities that would make good old school DL 
advantages, it might be a good Epitaph submission for 
someone who owns both systems.
