Ops and Tactics: Remove the Bourgeoisie Edition

>What the hell is Ops and Tactics and why did you write this?

Ops and Tactics is/was a rework of the terribly awful modern game D20 Modern that produces enough differences in said game to be considered it's own. It's goal was to do the following things

1. Make Combat more fluid and less rigid like the D20/D&D style outright demands.
2. Make it reflect the real attributes of weapons and armor, in a more realistic sense, while being as playable as possible.
3. Make everything else suck less, at least in my opinion.
4. Introduce a more modular way to handle magic, Incantations/Invoking(My own..thing), Psionics, and equipment. There is also a lot of equipment.

>Why do you keep posting this?

Cause I keep changing things. This latest version got rid of archetypes. I'll post the changelogs for each book below.

>Bloat!

SQuATs. Enjoy your bloat free game!

>What kind of game is this good for?

Games with a lot of gunfights, where you want the realistic guns but you don't want the slow down. Also for people at least somewhat familiar with the D20 System.

>GURPS!

Go play gurps.

There is a blog: opsandtactics.blogspot.com and a website: www.opsandtactics.com

As always, I'll be posting and answering questions, as well as posting the current releases of the books.

>Core Rulebook

I removed Goblins. With the new change from the removal of the Archetype system for a "Build your own character" system, there really was no point for them. Changelog below
>Changes
6.02 to 6.03
Fixed format erros
Removed Combat Sheaths and placed them in Core Rulebook
Removed the chart for Stylus and replaced it with the formula for damage
Removed Goblins from the Selectable Races
Added a feat "Spoken Spell" That allows you to cast a spell for 6 or less SP withotu writing it down.

Changed All elves in the following ways:

Removed the weapon size penalties

Gave them a Recoil Modifier penalty due to their fraility.(-3 For high, -3 for forest, and -3 for Desert)

Added the item "Neural Inhibitor", that allows you to actually arrest people with Mental limit by removing their mental limit.

Advanced Arms didn't get much of a change. Most of the stuff was changed last version. But regardless, here it is.

Fuck. Here's the actual book.

>Changelog for the hell of it

6.05
Changed Kandari so that they have a recoil penalty instead of a "Weapon size restriction"

>FID

I didn't write FID, but I did help. Mad props to Craft for everything he's done.

All of the NPCs got tweaked so that they're more inline with the classless system now. Also we removed level drain.

Squats Didn't change. Here it is.

I added and corrected the different types of autofire for Procedural guns, so there you go.

Also, to get this out of the way

>Where are the character sheets?

I'm still actually drawing them. It's quite a bit more difficult than I remember, so I'm taking my time this time.

I'll be here until the thread dies, to take questions/complaints.

Was just about to do this haha.
Even better since you're the creator, how would you stat a terminator in this system? A 'standard' footsoldier. T600-800 or so.

>Terminator

Probably make him a construct that can fire guns and such.

Or go the synthetic route(As in the race, Synthetics) and turn the HP/DR WAY the fuck up.

>Mfw The phased plasma rifle in the 40w range ain't shit compared to the 65w
