I'm thinking of designing a Halo D&D and was wondering when I finish transferring the notes onto my computer could you critique it?

Is this going to be RPG?

I couldn't see levelling up. With the skirmish-style gameplay of halo, you may want to hold out until halo-clix comes out in a bit. If you don't like clix, at least you'll have minis (too bad the bases are too big Sad

) to use for the RPG you're making.

I've never played clix. I do XP in all my games differently. Each dungeon is one level up. So each small series of skirmishes that make a mission would be a level up.

Here's what I'm thinking of. Spartan is a race separate from Humans. It'd have the same level adjustment as elites. I'm going to work on giving you all their abilities in the next few days.

I was also c onsidering a non-canon thing of AI bots. Basically the AI like Cortana have a robot they can interact wiht the real world in a different fashion than hacking and they can jump from it to a computer.

Double post but its for a reason. Here's some racial stats I've worked out.

Humans: Same as PHB stats.

Spartans:
Ability Changes: +4 Stength, +4 Constitution, -4 Charisma
Spartans have immens physical ability but are usually blunt and to the point becoming rather insulting usually.
Racial Familiarity with the Rocket Launcher and sniper rifle. Treat as Martial
Unlike normal humans they don't get a bonus skill point at each level or a bonus feat at level 1.
LA: +3

Grunt:
+2 Dexterity, -2 Constitution
Small size: Usual pluses minuses
Racial Proficiency with Plasma Pistol and needler.
+2 racial bonus on Move Silently, Hide. Being the most bullied of the Covenant they have learned to avoid the larger races who make fun of hurting the little guys.

A lot of pluses for the spartans. Dont think there should be a + to dex

They're big gun users that's why. And Kelly from the books is the other reason. But I'll drop it.

What about the grunt?
