By 'boilerplate', I mean, sample text to be used in D20 games to deal with
chargen, etc. Simply saying "Don't include the chargen or XP rules" is
clearly not enough -- there is major confusion on this issue, with many
people concluding you can't publish new classes, races, or genres.
Following is what I have more-or-less worked out for a prototype Supers
game. I would like a 'from the horses mouth' opinion on whether or not this
is D20-compatible:
To create a character for D20 Supers, do the following:
Follow the directions in Chapter I of the Players Handbook, with the
following changes.
a)In Step 1, use one additional die in the first step. Keep the same number
of dice in the totalling step.
b)In Step 2, choose from the appropriate sections in this document, not the
sections in the PHB. In addition, you may be entitled to a 'Norm' class.
See the 'Classes' and 'Races' section in this document for more details.
c)There are no Starting Packages in the D20 Supers. When you reach step 8,
go to the section on Plot Hooks and select those you want or those which
the DM mandates, or which have been mandated by your class or race.
d)After Step 8, apply the options you gained, if any, by selecting Plot Hooks.
