Game Setting Enhancing Rules
for d20 Modern.
DBZ Game Setting Rules Version 4.5
ntroduction! Basic" E#ic"
$osmicBy now may of you are already very familiar
with Dragon Ball Z and obviously my conversions. Thisis the final version of Dragon Ball Z that I’ll be doing.
Simply put, versions is enough and there is only so many ways I can write something up.
D!D, Star "ars, and d#$ %odern are all generally classified as Basic games. That is a basic d#$
game has characters advancing from level & to level #$. 'owever D!D has much more to offer in terms of
worlds and settings and as such it is capable of being brought to the (pic level in games. (pic level gamesas many of you )now ta)e a character form level #$ to level &$$ and beyond. * level that is not used orseen in these games is a +osmic level of power. This isn’t od li)e power necessarily, but its about on par
with that. In the past I’ve avoided converting Dragon Ball Z over to its true level of play for several
reasons, one reason primarily being that of balance. In D!D things are toned down. *fter all you as a D%can’t have you players running around and decimating cities with a wave of their hand or blowing up
planets because they feel li)e it. %y reasoning for this changed after d#$ %odern came out, and then
B(S% d#$ -Big (yes, Small %outh. I’ve now been able to come up with a way of giving you players your&,$$$,$$$ power level.
This game uses the rules found in the d#$ %odern 'andboo). It may also help having the B(S%
d#$ boo) as well if you want to add some e/tra things to your games called *ttributes and Defects.
%he &orld of DBZThe world of Dragon Ball Z is a setting that mi/es some Sci0fi elements with 1antasy, and %artial
*rts action. "ith in this setting are a plethora of different beings beyond 2ust humans. There are many
things that are e/plainable then there are some things that 2ust can’t be e/plained. 'umans e/ist with in this
universe, but they are not alone. In DBZ there are people of immense power who can destroy cities and
&
Z01i hters united for the +ell ames3
7/21/2019 Dragonball Z D20 Modern
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dragonball-z-d20-modern 2/142
even planets and solar systems. There are also people who do not have this level of power, but would see)
still to ta)e over the world.
In DBZ you play a character who is gifted with uncanny fighting s)ills and abilities that put you
above most normal beings. This however doesn’t mean you run around with o)u, or have been trained by4iccolo. 5o, the world of DBZ is a template of sorts for a new set of heroes to begin their stories, but that
doesn’t mean o)u or someone else can’t suddenly show up. So simply enough, you don’t have to have
o)u and the other Z01ighters in your world if you don’t want to.
'eroesIt goes with out saying that you’re going to be playing the role of the 'ero. In DBZ there is
primarily & main hero, o)u. *lthough there is other characters that are heroes as well, o)u is the one toreally shine above the others. This in part attributes to how o)u’s player handles him. o)u has been
there from the start. 'e’s fought battles and overcome villains. o)u’s player has played o)u so precisely
that he has earned the right to have many events in the DBZ world unfold around him due in part to this.But this isn’t entirely the case for what your % has in mind.
(o)er *e+el*side from the usual things that ma)e up a characters6 characters in DBZ all have something )nown
as a 4ower 7evel. This is the measure of how much )i8energy their body has with in. +haracters are able to
tap into this power by 94owering :p; or drawing out that energy. 1ew if any beings are able to draw out allof that energy at once. %ost beings need to 4ower :p several times before they are at their ma/imum.
RacesIn DBZ there are several different races. This is one reason why I suggested you have a copy of the
B(S% d#$ <4. The boo) has rules for ma)ing new races. I’ll be using these rules to an e/tent, primarily
in e/plaining how to bring in races from other games to this game.
%echni,uesTechni=ues play a really big part in DBZ. Techni=ues apply to a plethora of different powers or
combative techni=ues. "hile some characters will speciali>e in several )i techni=ues, others might focus ona single techni=ue for a while then develop other techni=ues as they may need them. Techni=ues are
divided up into specific categories? @i, %ovement, Defense, and Affense. @i techni=ues apply to a
character who wants to fire off energy waves. %ovement techni=ues are special techni=ues li)e the abilityto fly or leave after images. Defensive Techni=ues are techni=ues that a character learns to defend
themselves. This can include teleporting away from danger, using after images, or good old fashioned
bloc)ing. Affensive techni=ues are techni=ues that allow a character to try and get an edge on their
opponent by hitting them in a particular fashion or place. Techni=ues are often stringed together to performa 9+ombo; by characters who are able to move much faster than most normal beings.
$haracter -d+ancement (ointsIn this game, characters can earn points )nown as +haracter *dvancement 4oints. "hen these
points are earned characters can spend them to advance their characters capabilities substantially. The rules
regarding this are e/plained later. These can be used as an alternative to e/perience points if desired. Insome cases I will be referring heavily to +*4s

Chapter 1Ability Scores & Races
1or the sa)e of )eeping in line with the A7, I’ll be
providing rules for ability score creation using the 4ointBuy method.
In DBZ, characters often boast incredible raw physical strength, speed and endurance. This does not
mean that they have pumped energy into their muscles to
ma)e them stronger and faster. This is sometimes 2ust rawnatural speed and strength. In a DBZ game setting,
characters generally get # points to spend on their *bility
scores. 'owever characters in the DBZ world can also
increase their physical abilities through intense training. If
you’re ma)ing a level &0&$ character use only #0C pointsfor your attributes. 'owever if your ma)ing a character
who is above level &$, add #0 points for every level above&$ that the character is.
If your % does not want to do this then 2ust usethe rules found in the d#$ %odern player’s handboo) for rolling up your ability scores.
Races*s I said earlier, there is a plethora of aliens and other races to be found in DBZ. -Such racesinclude? 'umans, @ai’s, 'umanoids, Saiyans, 5ame))ians, Agers, *ndroids, and so on. %ost people on
DBZ (arth are humans, or humanoids. There is no difference really between the two. 'umanoids often
have animal li)e features or are nothing more than big tal)ing and wal)ing animals. In this world and
setting this is nothing strange.
'umansIt goes with out saying what humans are. They are the predominate species of (arth and e/ist on other
planets through out the gala/y.
'umanoidsTechnically they are li)e humans in every way only they are animals. +hoose an animal from the d#$
%odern boo) -Dog, cat, 1o/, etc. If the animal has any specific racial feature li)e 9scent; then the
character gains this as well.
antas/ Races+haracters found in the D!D boo)s can be brought into this setting. These races however would not beindigenes to (arth unless the % has something else in mind. These races gain a & level ad2ustment for
Broly, the 7egendary Super Saiyan, is practically an
unstoppable Euggernaut. 'e is a prime e/ample of
Saiyan endurance and strength.

this setting. -This is easier than subtracting s)ill points for classes. *ny race that already has a level
ad2ustment gains an increase of &.
Sai/ansIn Dragon Ball Z, the Saiyans ta)e the fore front of characters. "hy is thisF The answer is simple. Saiyans
are natural warriors. Their bodies do not age in the same ways as a human’s, allowing them to fight longer.
That’s 2ust one thing. Saiyans are also able to evolve with each fight that leaves them badly hurt, or even)illed. 7astly there is their ability to hyper0evolve at will once their power level has reached a certain point.
In DBZ, Saiyans are rare finds due to their planet being destroyed by 1rie>a. It is possible that there are still
some full blooded Saiyans that e/ist in the :niverse aside from o)u, and Gegeta. These Saiyans willhowever be in hiding while 1rie>a is alive and may be in parts of the gala/y where 1rie>a has yet to e/plore,
or may be in a different gala/y all together. Saiyans are naturally above humans and most other beings in
terms of physical power. They have few if any e=uals.
Sai/an -ttriutes Saiyans are naturally more powerful than the average human. *s such they have a # level
ad2ustment.
-ilit/ Scores! Saiyans gain an additional &$ points to spend on increasing their physical abilityscores -using the point buy rules. These points can only be applied to the characters Strength and
+onstitution scores. An a down side while a Saiyan is physically capable of more than a normal
human their personalities often leave something to be desired. Saiyans are often aloof, boisterous,and egotistic, and will often 2ump to conclusions and into fights with out thin)ing things through
usually. Because of their lac) of social s)ills Saiyans receive a 0# to their "isdom, and +harisma.
Saiyans are also very sturdy beings and are not easily harmed, Saiyans gain a D<? #.
%ail! *ll Saiyans are born with a tail. This mon)ey li)e tail is a source of great power for the
Saiyan. The Saiyan tail provides the Saiyan with some natural capabilities. The tail provides theSaiyan with an increased sense of balance and agility. to Balance, Eump and Tumble chec)s.
The tail can be cut off however. "hen a Saiyan’s tail is cut off it rarely grows bac) when they are
older. *t young ages Saiyans regrow their tails as a sort of natural defense. But there is one lastability that Saiyans have that is tied to their tails, the ability to transform into a colossal ape li)ecreature if they so much as glance at a full moon. -Discussed in the powers section. *dditionally if
grabbed -this is considered grappling, although only & attac) roll is needed the Saiyan’s strength is
immediately reduced to &, they can not use any powers are technically helpless6 they can spea)however and can try to tric) a person into letting them go. If the tail is removed they need not worry
about this, also if their 4ower 7evel reaches well over C,$$$,$$$ they can ma)e a 1ort Save -D+ $.
If made they may ignore the penalty for having their tail grabbed.
E+olution! Saiyans are capable of becoming stronger each time they are badly or gravely in2ured.
"hen a Saiyan’s '4 is reduced by &8Hth its ma/imum amount or less, and the Saiyan has their '4restored to full or #8rd its ma/imum, the Saiyan gets stronger. The saying, 9what does not )ill you
ma)es you stronger,; is very true for a Saiyan. (ven if they are )illed, and brought bac) to lifesomehow, they get stronger. "hen these conditions are met the Saiyan gains a number of(/perience points e=ual to their level /&$. The character also gains +*4’s -+haracter *dvancement
4oints. The character gains a number of these points e=ual to their level /#, but only when they
have their health restored.
Rage! Saiyans are not only )nown for their fighting abilities and powers, but for their tempers as
well. Saiyans have the ability to enter into a rage of pure unbridled anger that ma)es them more
powerful, although for only a limited time. * Saiyan’s normal power level ! power up temporarily 2umps by a factor of &.C -4ower 7evel / &.C. This boost only lasts for a number of rounds e=ual to
the characters +onstitution bonus # -no lower than #. *fter this time has e/pired the Saiyan’s
7/21/2019 Dragonball Z D20 Modern
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dragonball-z-d20-modern 5/142
power level returns to normal. (ntering into a rage re=uires the Saiyan to ma)e a "isdom chec)
-D+ #$. +onditions that would insight anger and rage into a person will reduce the D+ of thischec) by &0&$ points depending on the intensity of the situation.
1ameiansIf there is one race of beings who are as rare as the Saiyans, but more prevalent it is the 5ame)s. The
5ame)s is a race of beings who live in a cast system. This is not entirely by choice6 it is more of a mater of
being born into it. "ith in the 5ame))ian society there are # types of 5ame)s? warriors, and scholars -thisis a loose term used to describe these types of 5ame)s. The warriors are of course the guardians and
fighters of their society. The scholars are the intellectuals of their society. They are wiser than the warriors
but not as strong as them. The 5ame)s are normally a peaceful people, but their history has includedviolence in several different cases, enough that their race split to form a cast system. 5ame))ian warriors
have the incredible ability to increase their si>e and strength e/ponentially and are often naturally much
stronger than Saiyans. *ll 5ame)s have the ability to use their )i to instantly regenerate and heal damaged
sections of their body.
1ame -ttriutes 5ame)s are naturally more powerful than most normal beings. 5ame) warriors receive a level
ad2ustment. 5ame) scholars receive only a # level ad2ustment. -ilit/ Scores! Since there are # types of 5ame)s -in a sense the bonus gained is applied to either &
of # places depending on if the 5ame) is a "arrior or a Scholar. "arriors gain an additional H
points to add to their Strength or +onstitution -not both. Scholars gains H points to add to eithertheir Intelligence or "isdom -not both. *ll 5ame)s receive a 0# to their +harisma primarily due to
the fact that they have green s)in, pointy ears and antennae. They are very alien loo)ing in
appearance and are often frightening to people not familiar with their race.
Regeneration! 5ame)s are capable of spending their energy to instantly regenerate lost limbs,
counter act some forms of poison ! to/ins, or to simply repair their damaged bodies. &$ points of )iwill restore &d 'it 4oints. C$ )i will negate & dose of poison or to/in in the 5ame)s system that
they do not have a natural tolerance for. &$$ )i will allow the 5ame) to instantly regenerate a single
lost limb. "ith out spending energy, 5ame)s naturally recover '4 at a rate of C points per minute.They regenerate limbs at a rate of & inch per hour.
ncrease Si3e &arrior onl/! Initially a 5ame))ian warrior can only increase their physical bul),
but not their actual si>e. *s a full round action, the 5ame) can increase their physical bul). This isdifferent than spending energy to boost ones strength. 5ame)s gain a # to their Strength, and their
physical mass gains about &$$lbs. * 5ame) can maintain their increased bul) for a number of
rounds e=ual to their +onstitution %odifier /#. *lso this abilities allows a 5ame) to boost theirstrength by &$$J. -See page & under Boost Strength.
M/stic Strie &arriors onl/! <ather than increasing their bul) a 5ame) can focus their energy insuch a way that they can e/tend their arms out to incredible lengths. This allows a 5ame) with
proper training to stri)e at targets well out of melee range. It costs &$ )i per stri)e made using this.
The range of these stri)es is e=ual to the 5ame)s level plus their +onstitution score. The range can be e/tended by spending &$ more points of energy per additional &$ feet of range added.
usion! *ll 5ame)s have the ability to fuse with one another to form a more powerful being. Inorder to fuse with some one, two 5ame)s must be willing to do this in the first place. 1or further
details regarding this see the 5ame) 1usion feat. * 5ame) must spend C +*4s in order to gain the
5ame) 1usion feat if they do not have an open feat selection. *ny 5ame) can fuse with another,
however only & 5ame) can be the primary body and mind of the 1usion.
'earing! *ll 5ame)s have uncanny hearing. They can hear a pin drop on the other side of a wall.
*ll 5ame)s have a &$ to any 7isten chec)s, and can hear conversations clearly from well up to &$$yards away easily. *lso when e/posed to high pitched noises the 5ame) ta)es C points of subdual

damage -by passes D< for each round they are e/posed to the sound. They can remove their ears to
avoid any further e/posure however.
'alf Sai/ansIn Dragon Ball Z, Saiyans are capable of cross breeding with humans. 'alf Saiyans combine some of the
traits of being humans, with those of being a Saiyan. 'alf Saiyans are often 2ust as powerful, or in some
cases more powerful than their full blooded Saiyan parent. 'alf Saiyans are rarely born with tails althoughthere have been some cases where a 'alf Saiyan was born with one. 'alf Saiyans born with tails are often
more powerful than the once born with out them. Aften the parents own 4ower level dictates 2ust how much
power the 'alf Saiyan is born with. 'alf Saiyans are a big part of Dragon Ball Z, and fill the gap for thelac) of full blooded Saiyans there are.
'alf Sai/an -ttriutes 'alf Saiyans are naturally more powerful than the average human. *s such they have a # level
ad2ustment.
-ilit/ Scores! 'alf Saiyans gain an additional H points to spend on increasing their physical ability
scores -using the point buy rules. These points can only be applied to the characters Strength and
+onstitution scores. An a down side while a 'alf Saiyan is physically capable of more than anormal human their personalities often leave something to be desired. 'alf Saiyans are not li)e their
full blooded parents although they do love to fight and will often 2ump into fights with out thin)ing
things through usually. Because of their lac) in 2udgment, 'alf Saiyans receive a 0# to their"isdom. Saiyans are also very sturdy beings and are not easily harmed, Siayans gain a D<? #.
%ail! 5ot all 'alf Saiyans are born with a tail. enerally 'alf Saiyans have a good C$8C$ chance-roll percentiles, above C$ they are born with one, under C$ they are not of being born with one.
'owever it can be cut off, but regrow’s often while they are a child, 2ust li)e their full blooded
parents. "hen an adult their tail will not grow bac) if removed.
E+olution! 'alf Saiyans are capable of becoming stronger each time they are badly or gravely
in2ured. "hen a 'alf Saiyan’s '4 is reduced by &8Hth its ma/imum amount or less, and the 'alf
Saiyan has their '4 restored to full or #8rd
its ma/imum, the 'alf Saiyan gets stronger. The saying,9what does not )ill you ma)es you stronger,; is very true for a 'alf Saiyan. (ven if they are )illed,
and brought bac) to life somehow, they get stronger. "hen these conditions are met the 'alf Saiyan
gains a number of (/perience points e=ual to their level /&$. The character also gains +*4’s-+haracter *dvancement 4oints. The character gains a number of these points e=ual to their level
/#, but only when they have their health restored.
Rage! 'alf Saiyans are not only )nown for their fighting abilities and powers, but for their tempers
as well. 'alf Saiyans have the ability to enter into a rage of pure unbridled anger that ma)es them
more powerful, although for only a limited time. * 'alf Saiyan’s power level ! power uptemporarily 2umps by a factor of &.C -4ower 7evel / &.C. This boost only lasts for a number of
rounds e=ual to the characters +onstitution bonus # -no lower than #. *fter this time has e/pired
the Saiyan’s power level returns to normal. (ntering into a rage re=uires the Saiyan to ma)e a"isdom chec) -D+ #$. +onditions that would insight anger and rage into a person will reduce the
D+ of this chec) by &0&$ points depending on the intensity of the situation.
(o)er *e+el! 'alf Saiyans are often slightly stronger than a full blooded Saiyan when it comes to
their power level. This can be handled in either & of three ways. 1irst, the % and the 4layer come
up with a Saiyan 4arent with a 4ower level that is appropriate for the game and its setting. The
character then has a power level e=ual to either #8rd the parent’s power level -if they have a powerlevel above &,$$$ or e=ual to &.C/ the parents power level -if their power level is below &,$$$.
Second way is 2ust to roll up the normal power level for the character and then add #$$ points to it.

The third way is to have any other Saiyans in the group of characters be the parent, or one of the
parents, use the &st way to help in determining their starting level & power level.
Chapter 2
Classes & PowerLevels
enerally in DBZ characters are loosely
defined as martial artists with no particularmentioning of any other capabilities of the
character. The +lasses in the d#$ %odern
players handboo) are used in this game however.
Saiyans tend to favor being Strong8Tough hero
classes. 5ame)s often favor the same thing6scholars favor Smart8Dedicated hero classes.
*e+el
-d+ancement7evel advancement happens in a part
form. 1irst you have the characters normal +lass7evel. This level is unchanged in its use of
)eeping trac) of class advancement and general
character advancement. *fter this you have a person’s 4ower 7evel. This is the thing that
separates the heroes of DBZ from normal people.
1or e/ample, while o)u may have a lower
+haracter level compared to that of somehumans, his power level easily dwarfs their power
levels and over all character level. 1inally there is
the character’s 4ower :p rating. This wor)s intandem with the characters 4ower 7evel. The characters 4ower level shows how much energy the character
has to draw upon to perform super human actions. The characters 4ower :p ratings determines how much
of that energy the character can draw out and use. So if a +haracter has a 4ower 7evel of K$, and a 4ower
:p &H$ they can only draw out &H$ points of energy at a time from their %a/imum of K$. 7astly there isthe characters 7evel *d2ustment for their ever Increasing 4ower 7evel. This is added on top of the
characters normal +lass level and <acial *d2ustment as one would e/pect.
These things advance in different ways but all generally revolve around spending (/perience
points. Below is a table for showing a how many free +*4s a character gets normally through level
advancement.

Determining
(o)er *e+el 8 (o)er 9#*ll living things have a 4ower 7evel. 'owever not all living beings are aware of this nor do they
)now how to tap into it and increase their potential. Below is a table that e/plains how to determine each
race’s beginning power level. Don’t worry about ma)ing an advanced character at the moment. I have to
ta)e you through the Dragon Ball level of power before I ta)e you into the Dragon Ball Z level of power.
Below is a table for determining the 4ower 7evel for a normal person. Saiyans and 5ame))iansgenerally have higher power levels. The listing below for them is for the lowest powered of their species.
Race ormula'umans +on #
'umanoids +on #

%onster <aces +on / &.C
Saiyans +on Str / #
5ame))ians +on "is / #
<ound all numbers -e/cept for 'umans ! 'umanoids off to the nearest &$th spot. So H# would be rounded down to H$, and HC
would be rounded up to L$. 4ower :p is always rounded down though.
This starting power level does not provide any level ad2ustment as it is for a normal person. Thecharacter does not gain level ad2ustments for their power level until they gain the 1eat 9+ontrol (nergy;.
'owever the above listed e=uation need not be how you wish to start a game out. This is the case for games
where the players start at higher +lass 7evels. In this regard the character that starts the game at a +lasslevel of &$ -having up to &$ levels in any combination of +lasses would want to start with a higher 4ower
7evel than that listed above for a person who is unaware of their 4ower or has 2ust discovered how to use it.
There are several different methods for doing this, but here are a few e/amples. In the end it is
dependent upon the % running the game as to how 4ower 7evels are determined as well as how high a4+’s starting 4ower 7evel is.
Method :'ere is the &st method. 7oo) at the characters +onstitution Score. 5ow <oll dH. %ultiply the
characters +on score by what is rolled on dH. So if you have a +on of &, and you roll & on dH youwould have a Starting 4ower 7evel of #H. In this way no two players will have the same 4ower 7evels
even though they may have the same +on scores. This can be further ad2usted by adding another dH to the
7/21/2019 Dragonball Z D20 Modern
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dragonball-z-d20-modern 9/142
total. * good way of determine how many dH’s to use is ta)e the games set +lass level and divide it by #.C.
So if the +lass level is #$ then you would multiply the characters +on score by dH worth of dice.
Method 2%ethod # is a little simpler. Ta)e # &dH’s, one &dH will be in the hundreds spot and the other &dH
will be in the tens spot. So if I roll a and a H it would loo) li)e this? H$.
Method ;%ethod is a bit more comple/, but can result in a higher starting 4ower 7evel. Ta)e the characters
+on, multiply this by the characters "isdom modifier -add &d to the modifer, if the character has no
"isdom modifier they still get the &d to use, additionally if a roll of one is gained then it is multiplied by&.C. *s an e/ample I have a con score of &H, and a "isdom score of &. I then roll a # on the &d. I get a
result of H. 5ow I roll dH#, this number is multiplied with the one I 2ust got from before. So lets say I
roll really low, on the dH. I would multiply the H by C. This would still give me final number of #$,
which is the character’s power level. 5ow if I had rolled better, say getting a &C on dH I could get a 4ower7evel of KH$.
In all cases round off the fives spot up or down depending on the number. So if I had KH, I wouldround down to KH$, and if I had KHC I would round up to KL$.
5ow that you have a base number all rounded off, with your %’s approval of course, now the %
gets to ma)e an ad2ustment to that. This ad2ustment is dependent upon what sort of enemies the 4+’s willface not to mention their 4ower 7evels. So if a % plans on having the 4+’s face an enemy or enemies that
have power levels greater than the 4+’s then it’s a good idea not to have the 4+’s trying to ta)e on these
beings with 4ower 7evels that don’t even pass them or come close to meeting them. <ather loo) at thenumber of numbers in the most power full type of enemy that the 4+’s will face short of the main bad guy.
"ith C numbers in $,$$$ the 4+’s get something. So for every number the 4+ gets to multiplytheir starting 4ower 7evel -from the above methods or others by for each number. So with KH$ I would
multiply it by &C. This would give me a 4ower 7evel of &,$$. This is pretty decent to start with since the
4+’s will not be going up against the guy with $,$$$ right away. *t least they shouldn’t be.
"ith higher power levels li)e this it’s 2ust easier to add the same number of >ero’s to the 4+’s +on

4owering up draws energy from the 4+’s 4ower 7evel. So with KH$, I would have a 4ower :p of &K#. So
every time I power up I ta)e out &K# points from my KH$ point 4ower 7evel. This means I can only power
up C times. 4owering up is a 1ull <ound action.

+haracters are allowed to spend their (/perience points to increase their 4ower 7evel and
subse=uently their 4ower :p. *lternatively the % can give out +*4’s for this purpose. Increasing acharacter’s 4ower 7evel is described in a later chapter. * characters 4ower :p rating is e=ual to their
4ower level divided by C.
+haracter *dvancement 4oints can also be spent to increase both the characters 4ower 7evel and
4ower :p ratings. & +*4 will increase the characters 4ower 7evel by &$ points. +*4’s are earned either
through level advancement or are given out by the % with e/perience points on in the place of e/perience.
9sing Energ/(nergy from the characters 4ower 7evel is used for a variety of things. The character increased their
speed, strength, create uni=ue energy attac)s, and in some cases the character can actually use their energyto alter the molecules in the air to create solid weapons or change their clothing.
Blo)ing %hings 9#<Ance a persons 4ower 7evel has reached a certain height they can start to blow up massive
structures with their energy including planet si>ed things li)e moons andMplanets. %aster <oshi, for
e/ample, has a 4ower 7evel of C$. 'e is seen in the anime destroying (arths %oon. It stands to reason
that it probably ta)es about $$ points of energy to blow up the moon. It’s not so much the energy of theattac) as it is how much damage was in it, and what effects it had. Destroying structures and vehicles
generally doesn’t not re=uire anything special added to it. 'owever when destroying huge structures or
destroying the landscape a character has to have the attac) effect an area and not 2ust a single target.
But that’s not all, some abnormally large things li)e mountains, and planetoids all have a
Destruction <ating. If a character is going to blow up an asteroid they need to first hit it with an area
effecting attac). *ll of this will be e/plained later along with how to use ones energy. * destruction rattingis essentially the planets or land mass’s Damage <esistance rating tripled.
Vital Statistics
*side from figuring out what the characters name, height, weight, and gender is you’ll need to figureout what age they are. 1or 'umans, and 'umanoids this is easy, they age the same. 'owever for 1antasy
races li)e (lves, and Saiyans and 5ame))ians you’ll need a bit more info. 1or 1antasy races 2ust consult

Saiyans do not outwardly show any signs of ageing for many years. They do age li)e a human, butonce they are adults their bodies aging process practically stops. They still age, its 2ust that they show not

Chapter 3Skills
An top of the s)ills outlined in the d#$
%odern players handboo), I will be introducing
some new s)ills to be used. The characters inDragon Ball Z often have very few s)ill that relate to
the real world. This however does not have to bereflected in your games. 1or e/ample, the group isfacing a dooms day weapon. If they blast it, it will
e/plode destroying the entire planet. They can’t lift
it and chuc) it into space because its way too big.Their only real hope is to try and disarm it.
*nother case might be using diplomacy todiffuse a tense situation or to try and gain support
from an alien race to help you to fend off some
invaders.
Ar maybe you have some genius li)e Bulma
and you need a gadget of some sort to stop a
rampaging robot that is unaffected by your powers.The new s)ills deal primarily with energy and its
use. +oncentrating on using your powers is one
thing but it’s nothing if you can’t focus your energyto begin with. They are +lass S)ills for the Strong

Eust who is driving this thingF o)u eventually learns to
drive a car, although he’s not that good at it.

'ero, 1ast 'ero, Tough 'ero, Dedicated 'ero, and %artial *rtist classes, but only after gaining the +ontrol
(nergy 1eat.
%a/ number of ran)s in a s)ill is still based upon the characters level progression. -7oo) in the
class section of the d#$ %odern boo) at the chart for level progression. Increasing the ran) of a s)ill costs& +*4 after the character has #$ +lass levels, or at any other time.
ocus Energ/ $onNou are capable of focusing your )i and controlling it.$hec! * 1ocus (nergy chec) is made anytime a character fires off an energy wave or uses a techni=ue that
re=uires the e/penditure of energy in order to use it -li)e Namcha’s "olf 1ang 1ist. The D+ of the chec)is dependent upon how much energy will be put into the attac). The chec) is made to determine if you can
do it or not. Determining an energy wave’s D+ is simple. Ta)e the amount of energy in the attac) and
divide it by half of the characters over all total level, &$ -always round down in this case. So if you want
to fire off an energy blast with only &$$ points of energy and your level &$ then you have to beat a D+ of $to do so. Af course you have to have the energy available first in order to fire off an energy wave. o)u’s
@amehameha wave -on average has #,$$$ points of energy in it6 then let’s say that o)u’s total level is .
*s such it has a D+ of &$C.
There is also something called 91amiliarity;. This will help to further offset an attac)s 1ocus(nergy D+. enerally if a character is familiar with the attac) because they have used it on multipleoccasions in the past they are able to use it more readably and easily. To be 91amiliar; with an attac) the
character needs to spend up to C +*4s to ma)e the attac) a familiar one. Ance a character is 91amiliar;
with it the D+ becomes one that is a bit more manageable. <ather than dividing the energy in the attac) by
half the characters total level it is divided by the characters total level. Thus o)u, who is very familiarwith his @amehameha wave would have a D+ of CH.
%r/ -gain>! Nes, failing does not cause you to loose energy luc)ily. The chec) can only be made a
number of times proportionate to the type of techni=ue being used. If one techni=ue is a full round actionthen the chec) can only be made once a round, if a techni=ue can be used several times in a round then the
character may ma)e another chec), although this does not change the fact that they failed one chec) already
and it does reduce the number of times it can be made in a round.S#ecial! Nou can ta)e &$ on these chec)s, and you can ta)e #$, but only if you have at least & full minute to
spend in gathering energy.
There is also another way to gather a lot of energy for an attac) where the character is unable tonormally beat a D+. Ta)e 4iccolo’s special beam cannon for e/ample. 4iccolo was unfamiliar with it, and
it re=uired him to put more energy into it than he would normally be able to. This allows a character to use
energy from around them rather than from their 4ower 7evel, or it allows them to easily use an energyattac) that they are unfamiliar with in general even if they have the energy for it.
In 4iccolo’s case his attac) has &,$$ points of energy in it at its ma/6 it’s the only thing that will )ill
<adit>. But its D+ is far too high for him to handle -4iccolo is level for arguments sa)e, at L&. 4iccolohas a 4ower 7evel only reaching as high as H$$. Simply put, he doesn’t got the power to use this on his
own. But he can ma)e a different type of chec). The D+ for the chec) is divided by #. 'owever it willta)e C minutes before the 4iccolo can use the attac). So the rule is to reduce the D+ by half it re=uires the
character to spend C minutes concentrating. The chec) is made at the end of the C minutes. This method
can be used even if the 4+ has the power for the attac). "hen a character does not have the energy
themselves for the attac) they can only do it a number of times a day e=ual to their "isdom Score divided by &C, & -rounded down. So if 4iccolo has a "isdom score of &, then it would be &.#. *s such 4iccolo
can only do this # times in a day. The same applies even if the character has energy for the attac).

%ime! This s)ill is used anytime a character puts energy into an energy wave techni=ue or an unarmed
techni=ue that also uses energy. Its use is as apart of the action and as such is free costing no actions.
'ide (o)er &isNou’ve learned how to hide your power level and various other aspects of your self from others.
$hec! * 'ide 4ower chec) is used to oppose a Sense power chec), or to try and oppose some one Scrying
or even spells li)e detect alignment or spells that might detect your level, class, and powers. This is a
simple s)ill vs. s)ill chec). The higher s)ill chec) wins. If the 'ide s)ill chec) succeeds then the persontrying to learn about the character can not garner anything about them including where they are at. If they
fail then the person learns that not only has the character been trying to hide themselves and they learn whatit is they wanted to. The s)ill can be used at any time and maintained fairly easily, although powering up
and using any powers will instantly negate the characters ability to hide their power.

4ower s)ill can )eep their power level hidden. *dditionally those with spells and wards that protect againstdetection, including hiding the person’s level and class, can also be sensed if the character can ma)e the
s)ill chec) to do so. Two s)ill chec)s are made though. The first is to determine if they can sense anything,
this is opposed by either the targets 'ide 4ower chec), or the level of the spell, plus the characters "isdom
modifier, &$. The below chart determines what the character can sense after they ma)e the second s)illchec). This s)ill can also be used in the place of a Spot chec) to find a person who is hiding, or it can be
used with it. If a character does not have a power level, use the rules for determine a character’s base power
level, if the character can cast spells or use psionic powers they gain a &$ to their base power level forevery spell8psionic power level that they have access to. Nour chec) also determines how fare away you

Chapter 4Feats
5o one wa)es up one morning suddenly able tosense power levels, fire off energy blasts and waves, or
can fly through the air. 5o these powers and abilities aregained through feats in most cases.
1eats are ac=uired in either & of ways.
+haracter level advancement is the first way. +haracters
automatically gain feats every so many levels regardlessof class, age, and race. The ne/t way is through class
level advancement. These are gained when a characters
level in a class reaches a point where the character earns aBonus 1eat. 1inally characters can purchase 1eats by
spending their well earned +*4’s. +haracter often either
gain these points for performing certain actions, orthrough general level advancement.
In order to gain a Bonus 1eat through e/penditure
of +*4’s a character must spend C +*4’s per feat theywant. This of course will result in some characters
possessing capabilities above most other normal
characters. If you loo) around in the world you’ll noticethat there are individuals li)e this, where things 2ust come naturally to them, or they have a natural s)ill or
talent for performing an action. This does not show additional training, but can if desired.

*s you )now there is a huge list of feats on 4age L ! LK in the d#$ %odern 4layers 'andboo).The following feats are primarily for use in a DBZ setting. %any of the feats will re=uire the character to
have access to their power level first before they can be selected.
$ontrol Energ/Nou are able to control your )i allowing you to perform super human feats of strength and agility, not to
mention being able to learn how to fire off energy blasts and energy waves. The first well )nown person tohave mastered the use of this feat, or may have been the one who developed it, was %aster <oshi.
Benefit! The character gains the use of their 4ower 7evel and their 4ower :p. -See chapter & for detailsabout how these are calculated. The character can begin to use the Basic )i Techni=ues outlined in a later
chapter. The character also gains the 1ocus (nergy, 'ide 4ower, Sense8<ead 4ower s)ills as class s)ills.
-+onsidered class s)ills for the Strong 'ero, 1ast 'ero, Tough 'ero, Dedicated 'ero, ! %artial *rtist
classes, but only if the character gains this feat first.

S#ecial! * character may gain this feat multiple times. But no more than C times.
BurnA7utNou can sacrifice your health for more energy.
(rere,uisite! +ontrol (nergy 1eat
Benefit! Nou can burn '4 at a rate of & for &$ points of energy. This is a dangerous tactic to use as it can
=uic)ly )ill a character. '4 loss in this way is considered subdual damage and is regained normally. This
'4 loss will not )ill the character unless they use enough '4 to drop them below their +onstitution score orlower. The character is considered fatigued once their '4 drops to below &8Hth its ma/imum amount. -If a
character has &$$ '4, an it falls down to below $ points the character becomes fatigued.
(oint Blan BlastThis feat is similar to the feat 4oint Blan) Shot only this one deals with energy blasts and waves.
(rere,uisite! +ontrol (nergy 1eat
Benefit! Nou can fire off your energy attac)s at a point blan) range. This feat is different from the 4oint
Blan) Shot feat in that rather than gaining a & to hit and damage with the attac), instead the target is denied
their De/terity bonus for that attac). The attac) is basically considered a surprise attac). This feat can beused any number of times in combat, but you must be with in melee combat to do this. This feat allows you
to use your ranged energy waves with out suffering from an attac) of opportunity, but you must be in melee
combat to gain the benefits of this, other wise the rules are the same. *nywhere else and you loose it.

to eat your weight in food, luc)ily you don’t put on any weight, all that food turns to energy as soon as youriron stomach gets it. (ach time the character eats their weight in food they regain a number of )i points
e=ual to their 4ower :p, thus the character has enough energy to 4ower :p once. But the character can
only do this sort of thing a number of times a day e=ual to their base +onstitution %odifier -no magicalad2ustments. *fter all there are only a curtain number of times a day when you can really gorge your self
li)e that before you’re too full to eat for the rest of the day. An top of that it can get really spendy to eat

the @aio)en attac) due to is energy needing constraints. The @aio)enattac) has multiple levels of power up to a ma/ of /#$. * single @aio)en

e/hausting e/perience, and can )ill a person if not used properly. :sing a single @aio)en will cost the

*ll of this at the cost of &$ '4 per @aio)en level, so a @aio)en /#$ would have a #$$'4 cost to use. *lso
the power range of a special techni=ue increases in proportion to the characters power increase.
S#ecial! The @aio)en attac) remains active until the character powers down8rests, uses up all of their )i, is
rendered unconscious or )illed, or voluntarily stops using it. The @aio)en attac) is a sort of transformation
with out actually physically transforming. The @aio)en attac) can not be used while a character is inanother transformed state such as a Super Saiyan, it can be used before transforming into the Super Saiyan
form however. They must be in their normal form. 7astly as a side effect, when the character’s aura
becomes visible through powering up it is a reddish color. The @aio)en attac) becomes the characters true
power level.

character gains a # synergy bonus to that s)ill or s)ills. The character alsogains )nowledge of any memories that the absorbed person had, such as
information about the enemy or other things of pertinent information only. This
feat is technically gotten after the character has had some one fuse with them.

Chapter 5CharacterAdvace!et Poits
This is a new concept made especially for this
game. Spending (/perience points to increase ones
capabilities wor)s, but sometimes you 2ust want a morestream lie method of doing things. *dditionally may beyou don’t want to increase your characters level or 4ower
7evel84ower :p. %aybe you would li)e to improve
upon their s)ills, or get them some e/tra feats for thattough fight ahead. 4erhaps you want them to advance
their techni=ues so they can put more energy into them. Ar maybe one of their ability scores is too low for
you li)ing.
+haracter *dvancement 4oints allow you to do all of this. They are a =uic) and easy way of
handing out points to increase ones capabilities with out handing out e/perience points although they wor)
in much the same way. *dditionally there are some uni=ue things that can only be gotten by spending these points. These are )nown as +haracter Traits. Ane such trait would be the super human strength that many
of the Z01ighters have naturally with out 4owering :p. Some characters can transform allowing them to
reach higher levels of strength and power. Below is a table out lining the costs for spending +*4’s. Someof these have already been mentioned but will be mentioned again.

%raits and &eanessesI’ve always been a firm believer in customi>ing ones characters. This is my way of getting that into
this game. Traits are little e/tra things that can have either a large impact on the game or a minor one.
"ea)nesses are traits that can some times hinder a characters performance in some way, or it is aninteresting little hindrance for the character that may have a very small impact on the character in the game.
Ta)e o)u for e/ample. o)u is a )ind, nave, pure of heart, courageous, and believes that there is nothing
that he can’t do. *ll of these are traits, but not all of them are uni=ue traits. "ea)nesses are often thingsthat an enemy can e/ploit and ta)e advantage of, such as o)u’s naivety and )ind heart.
*lso if you want a broader selection of traits then use the *ttributes found in the B(S% d#$ game
boo) -pg L. 5ot all attributes found in the boo) should be used however. :se your 2udgment as to what isshown in the anime and what is there, and when in doubt the % has final say. Their ran) point cost is the

Descri#tion
Driven # Nou are driven to complete your goals, or to be the best. (ither way you are driven in
someway to do something. :pon setting a goal of some sort you gain a & to any
actions ta)en toward completing this goal. This can be changed when ever newer
more important goals pop up.
4ure 'eart C Nou are not easily corrupted. Nou often have an innocent nature about yourself that
causes some people to li)e you. "hen ever e/posed to dar), evil or, morally wrong
temptations you do not need to ma)e a saving throw, you automatically succeed. Nou
do however have to willingly not give into these temptations. If you give into a
temptation such as murdering some one in cold blood, or being overly perverted, thenyou loose this trait. The trait also protects you from attac)s that may specifically
target the evil tendencies with in a person -something that practically everyone has.
*s such these attac)s automatically fail against you. The use of this trait re=uires a
character to follow certain guidelines and morals. If a character is forced to commit
an evil or dar) act and feels no remorse or guilt over the act, and does not see) some
way to atone for the act then they also loose this trait. -etting dragged into a strip
club wouldn’t be an evil or dar) act, and it wouldn’t necessarily ma)e the person any
less pure of heart Peven if they willingly go in and en2oy themselvesQ, unless they hopup on stage and start dancing with the performers, or start groping them. Ance lost
this trait is hard, if not impossible to regain.

Strategist # Nou have a natural )nac) for coming up with strategies. In battle if you observe youropponents actions for at least & round you gain a & insight bonus to your Defense.
"ith a group, you can provide them all with a & bonus to their Defense so long as
you are fighting with them and guide their actions by telling them of their opponent.
This can be selected more than once, each time it is selected the characters insight
bonus gained from observing their enemy increases by &. This shows a better
understanding of observing ones opponent and how to pic) out flaws. Simply put, you
get better at it.

water. Nou can hold your breath for a number of minutes e=ual to your +onstitution

+onstitution chec)s.
(lite Saiyan C S*IN*5S A57N -5o 'alf Saiyans. Nou were born an elite Saiyan. This means
that you are a bit stronger and over all more powerful than most other Saiyans. Nour
4ower level is initially much higher than that of a normal Saiyans. <oll percentiledice, after you have rolled this, add another #d&$ to the amount and add this to the
characters 4ower 7evel.
'idden 4otential &$ Nou have a well of energy with in you that you have not yet tapped into. This trait
symboli>es that potential being awa)ened. <oll &d and multiply your 4ower 7evel !4ower :p by this. -"ith a roll of & it is multiplied by &.C. aining this trait can only
be done once the character either under goes some sort of event that will awa)en this
potential, or they are an advanced character with a 4ower level well over H$$, or have
a +haracter level over H.
Sleeping 4owers &$ %:ST '*G( 'IDD(5 4AT(5TI*7. Nou have some sort of hidden powers. This
is often a well of energy that can not be taped into at will. This often re=uires a trigger
of some sort such as anger in order to awa)en it. This trait may need to be wor)ed out
with your % in order to have it. It’s often lin)ed to some other characteristic of a
character such as a racial feature or a particular techni=ue. Ar it can provide a brief
upsurge in power. ohan is a prime e/ample of this. "hen angered, ohan oftengains a drastic increase in power. This is also often lin)ed to his Saiyan <age racial
feature. So the % wor)s out that when ever ohan becomes very angry he flies intoa Saiyan <age, his 4ower 7evel84ower :p bonus for doing so is increased by .C.
Since a Saiyan rage doubles ohan’s 4ower 7evel84ower :p normally, his rage now
taps into his sleeping powers increasing its multiplier to . 7ater ohan has those
powers brought out to their ma/ and gains a significant boost in his 4ower 7evel. The
% here decides to multiply ohan’s power level by a factor of #. ohan’s Saiyan
rage is no longer as powerful as it was in the past sin ohan can no tap into thatsleeping power at will. This is more of a plot8character development trait than
anything and is primarily controlled by the % in its applications.
Talented # Nou are unusually talented in doing something. Below is a short list of things that a
character can be talented in?
Sills! +hoose & s)ill, you gain a bonus to it and can ta)e &$ on chec)s
made even when conditions may not allow you too.
ighting! Nou are able to learn techni=ues much =uic)er than normal, often
by watching another person. "hen watching another person perform a
techni=ue the character gets to ma)e an Intelligence chec) -D+ e=ual to the

ta)e time to learn or develop one.Talented -S)ills can be ta)en multiple times -no more than times though, each
pertaining to a new s)ill. Talented -1ighting can only be ta)en once and is used as
often as desired.

'ighly S)illed & K
9sing BESM -ttriutesThe attributes that I have listed above are the ones that I feel should be allowed in to a DBZ game. I
will not list these form the boo), but I will clarify a few of them and their purpose in this setting. 1irst andforemost there are no <an)s for these. *ll of the *ttributes can be selected multiple times, each time
increasing the bonuses gained form having it. 'owever there are no specific ran)s. *nything that is <an)
based in its bonus provides a &. So if a character get to add a number of points to a saving throw e=ual to
their ran) in an attribute, they instead gain a & to that save for every selection of the attribute that theyhave. - I )now it’s the same thing, but what ever you want to do is fine also.
The *ttribute? Argani>ational Ties, is mainly something for a team based game or a game where thecharacters are part of an organi>ation. Such groups would include the <ed <ibbon *rmy, 1rie>a’s
Intergalactic *rmy, the inyu 1orce, and so on. Then there is the? Awn a Big %echa attribute. This
attribute ill of course need to be changed a bit to bring it up to DBZ level of power. Nour best way to go isto double everything listed, or to ta)e what is listed for the & st ran) and double it for each ran) -each ran)
doubles the previous ran). This would allow you to have a iant <obot that would have a 4ower level
close to some Z0fighters. *dditionally substitute a 4ower 7evel for the %echa’s Special *ttac) options.This power level would be proportionately high to other Z0fighters. If necessary chec) out the %echa
advanced feat for energy usage. This can easily be substituted. *lternative to all this, use stuff form the
d#$ %echa ! %echa +ompendium boo)s if desired. Substitute some of their powers of a 4ower 7evel.
Then assign them some energy techni=ues which will fill in for a Special *ttac), or other weapon system, or 2ust use what’s in the boo). *dding iant <obots to a game is something that your % should approve of
first and you and thy may want to sit down and iron out how you want to add this into a game.
Then there is <egeneration. 5ow I )now its cool to have your character recover =uic)ly form near
fatal attac)s, but in DBZ this has generally only been a talent that 5ame)s have, and they need to spend
energy to do it. So if you give this trait to some one you should come up with a good reason why they havethis. %’s have finals say in this trait since its addition may not fall inline with what they have planed.
7astly there is "ealth. In the d#$ %odern 4'B there is a feat called "indfall, and an occupation called
Dilettante. In DBZ wealth and money isn’t e/actly how it is in our world. There are still ban)s and people
can get lines of credit, but in the world of DBZ money is not really an issue for some characters as they arewinners of tournaments where they often win massive amounts of money, called Zenny in that world. If
you would prefer to )eep using the "ealth chec) system then forget about using the "ealth attribute. If
you want to get rid of it then ta)e up using the attribute.
"ea)nesses, as I said before, are things that an enemy can e/ploit. This can be a hero’s
e/ceptionally )ind heart, a physical wea)ness such as being blind in & eye, or maybe its something moresubtle such as the heroes love for food, or maybe their a bit obsessive about something. The Defects foun in
the B(S% d#$ boo) also offer up a large number of wea)nesses for a character. The Bonus points earned
from these are +*4’s with this game. *ll defects can be found on page L in the B(S% d#$ boo). If youdo not have the boo), and are not going to purchase it then tal) with your %8D% about coming up with
traits and wea)nesses. :se the ones already described here as your basis. Traits that have a minor impact
on the game and character have a point cost of &0 points, while Defects that have a minor impact on things
often have a point cost of &0# points. Traits that have a ma2or impact on the character and game often havea point cost of and higher depending on how big of an impact on the game it will have. The same goes

with wea)nesses. 7ets ta)e Superman as an e/ample. Superman is an incredibly powerful being, -not as
powerful as o)u and everyone else at the end of the 1rie>a Saga. Superman has some uni=ue flaws toocounter balance his great power. 1irst he is very susceptible to magic and telepathic attac)s, he is also
vulnerable to certain substances, and types of attac)s. "eapons that are incredibly sharp -such as
"olverines adamantium claws, or Doomsdays bone spi)es and capable of cutting through virtuallyanything can hurt him. "hen e/posed to different forms of )ryptonite he suffers different effects, such as
becoming deathly ill, or loosing all of his inhibitions and morals -personality change. Superman’s
wea)nesses impact the him heavily, although these things may be rare encounters for him. @ryptonite is a
rare mineral, weapons that are sharp enough or dense enough to harm him are e=ually rare. This doesn’tmean he doesn’t encounter them every so often. Since they are rare, a % would classify them as having a
moderate impact on the character. So if the wea)ness offered bonus points ranging between #0&$ points,
these would offer H0&$ points.

deadlier than one with the same amount of energy in it made by ;oku. As is e/plained later in the2echni8ues section, there are " different types of energy attacksC %a!e, Deam, Dlast, Melee, and Dlade.
2he Kamehameha is of course a wa!e type of techni8ue. 2he Special Deam (annon is a beam. 2runks3s burning attack is a blast type. And Krillin3s 'estructo 'isk is a blade type. As is e/plained later, these alldetermine the basic look of the techni8ue along with certain innate 8ualities. 7nergy wa!es for e/ample
effect an area which can be cone shaped, or in a straight line, or a combination of both. Dlades do slashing
damage and can ha!e critical hits often killing unguarded targets in a single strike. Deams are !ery accurate
and can be used to sweep an area in some cases. Dlasts often are shot form one hand allowing for a personto fire off more than one of these. All special techni8ues are full round actions. A base energy point cost is
determined normally. 2he amount of energy allowed to be put into the attack may also be restricted
depending on its type. 'etails on creating special techni8ues are found in the 2echni8ues section. 'icetype for damage is done with d3s and not d3s.

2runks awoke after being sa!ed by his Master, ;ohan, only to find that he had been killed by the androids.;ohan was pushed to his limits by ;oku, and used all of his pent up frustration at always ha!ing to be
sa!ed. ;oten and 2runks though seemed to instincti!ely know how to transform, possibly due to who their
fathers were and how powerful they were. ;enerally a Saiyan or a Half Saiyan must be either pure of heartor purpose in order to transform. Additionally the Saiyan or Half Saiyan has to become enraged by
something. 2his can be focusing on their own inade8uacies, or seeing a friend killed or hurt. ;oku had a
pure heart, he became enraged at the sight of Krillin being killed, it pushed him o!er the edge. ;oku3s bodyentered into what is called a hyper=e!ol!edI state, or better known as the Super Saiyan transformation.
Fegeta was enraged that he was not as powerful as ;oku, howe!er he lacked a pure purpose, and a
pure heart. Dut when he faced his ine!itable death in space during a deadly meteor shower, he stoppedcaring about e!erything e/cept sur!i!al. He found a single pure purpose, and that coupled with his rage at
ne!er being able to beat ;oku allowed him to transform. Some reasons are not as good as others while e!en
the simplest reasons can make for the best ones. $f a character has a power le!el well abo!e ",###,### youcould simply come to the conclusion that after their last fight, they came to a reali1ation. 2hey sense a
change with in themsel!es and might be able to bring out that change at will, or with practice. 2his is sort
of the case with ;oten and 2runks. 2hey both ha!e power le!els well abo!e ",###,### and 6ust came to the
reali1ation one day that they could turn Super Saiyan. ;oten disco!ered this during a sparing match withhis mother. 2runks either picked it up from ;oten, or he learned it on his own, or they both learned about it
during one of their mutual sparing sessions.
2he mechanics of it all are simple. 2he character has to ha!e a power le!el of ",###,### or higher
before they can transform. 2hey also must be in a Saiyan rage, and ha!e a reason or purpose to which theycan direct this power. As the rules say, the Saiyan rage does go away after a few rounds. 2he boost in
power also goes away. Howe!er transforms into a Super Saiyan for the first time, they retain their boost in
power from the Saiyan Rage. At any other time though, it goes away.

%e3ll use ;oku yet again as an e/ample. After dropping a Spirit Domb on >rie1a, e!eryone,including >rie1a is afforded some time to rest and reco!er. Most e!eryone is unconscious for a few minutes
or hours, &in the case of both ;oku and >rie1a*. 2his time is of course not shown in the anime and you are
lead to belie!e that the 6ust wake up right afterward. $f that were the case, ;oku would be too tired to fight>rie1a, and as such wouldn3t ha!e the power to turn Super Saiyan. 2he good guys were gi!en a chance to
think it was all o!er and rest for a while. 2hen after >rie1a wakes up, he stops pulling his punches. %hile
hurt, ;oku was not so badly hurt that he wouldn3t gain a drastic increase in his power le!el. %ith the
Kaioken techni8ue, ;oku had a ma/imum power le!el of #,### when he arri!ed on 9amek. After gettinghealed back from being badly hurt during the (aptain ;inyu incident, ;oku had a power le!el of about
#,### normally? with the Kaioken /)# he would ha!e a Power le!el of 0,0#,###.
$t3s enough to allow him to fight >rie1a, who is holding back and en6oying himself. After dropping
the Spirit Domb on >rie1a, ;oku is tired, but not badly hurt. His normal Power le!el is #,###, but he
technically has a power le!el of 0,0#,### because of the Kaioken /)#. %hen >rie1a shows up, ;oku isstunned, but is able to acti!ate the Kaioken /)#. He then enters a Saiyan Rage when Krillin is killed? this
pushes his power le!el to ,@)#,###. ;oku has enough power to transform, his power le!el 6umps to
0,::#,### 2his puts him higher than >rie1a. ;oku howe!er is killed by >rie1a by being thrown into hotla!a, 6ust as the 7arth 'ragon is summoned and 6ust before he grants the wish of e!eryone killed by >rie1a
and his men to be resurrected. ;oku is restored to life, and is now more powerful because of the fatal blowdeli!ered by >rie1a. ;oku3s normal power le!el hits 0,@"#,### &with the Kaioken /)#* he goes into a
Saiyan Rage hitting @,"##,###. He then 6umps to Super Saiyan, and has a power le!el of ",###,###, easilyenough to fight >rie1a.
Also the boost in ability scores works affects e!erything that is related to them, skills, DADmodifier, hit points, and so on. 2his is also ad6usted by the characters le!el as necessary. So if ;oku has a
(on of )", and goes Super Saiyan he now has a (on of 0 now. His normal le!el is )#, he essentially
gained a B0HP per le!el to his total Hit Points. 2hus he gains #HP for turning Super Saiyan. %hen heturns Super Saiyan ) he would gain an additional BHP per le!el, so he would gain an additional )# HP for
turning SS), on top of the # for SS. +nce this HP is lost it can be restored while in the SS form, or once
the character re!erts back to normal and has their normal HP restored they regain the bonuses to HP forincreased (onstitution. astly the power range of techni8ues increases in proportion to the characters power
le!el. 2hat is you use the multiplier on them, the same is done for the Kaioken attack. Dut it only
multiplies the base power range. So when going Super Saiyan , the a ma/ power range of ),### would
increase to :,###? but as a Super Saiyan ) it would be ,### instead. 2he >ocus Power check is still that forits original power range howe!er.
astly due to some issues asked of me $3!e changed how power le!els are determined with themultipliers for Super Saiyans. Rather than stacking with the pre!ios multipliers, each one only effects the
characters base Power e!el. So if the character has a power le!el of ))#,###,### their SS P would be
::#,###,###? SS ) P would be #,###,###? SS 0 P would be #,###,###? and SS : P would be
,##,###,###. $ think that this gi!es a better feel for the 'DL power le!els that many people look for. +nthe bright side nothing else is changed. All other bonuses that stack still get to do so.

Chapter 6Powers &Techniques
All characters in 'DL often ha!e a !ariety of
energy techni8ues and unarmed fighting techni8uesoften referred to as anken techni8ues. Almost
e!ery thing they do is through the use of a techni8ue
in some way. 2heir super strength is gained through atechni8ue to boost their physical strength. 2heir
speed is gained also through applying energy in such
away to propel themsel!es in different directions,thus allowing them to fly as well. 2echni8ues
themsel!es are broken up into 0 different
classificationsC 5ni!ersal, Physical, and 7nergy.
0niversal: 2hese are techni8ues that !irtually anyone can do. +ften a person must ha!e a Powere!el that is at a certain height, or they need to do something specific that will allow them free useof the techni8ue. A good e/ample of this is the ability to fly. Ya6irobe is the only L=>ighter who
can not fly. 2his is due impart to the fact that he 6ust can3t figure it out and that he is too la1y to
learn, e!en though his power le!el is high enough to allow him too fly. 5ni!ersal techni8ues includethe ability to fly, increase ones strength, actions, reactions and speed. 2hese powers are generally
not accessed until a persons power le!el has gone abo!e ##.
P$ysical: Physical techni8ues are fighting techni8ues that a character employs when in melee
combat with an opponent. 2hese are generally uni8ue types of attacks that pro!ide additional
damage if landed. Such an attack includes a leaping-flying uppercut. Yamcha3s %olf >ang >isttechni8ue is one such techni8ue.
.ner-y: 2hese are techni8ues or more often called powers, that enable a character to fire offdifferent types of beams and effects that can shatter boulders, and planets. 2he Kamehameha wa!eis one such techni8ue. 7nergy 2echni8ues are broken up into se!eral different basic types of
techni8ues. 2hese types are used to determine the basic appearance of the techni8ue. 2he
Kamehameha is a wa!e type of techni8ue. Feggeto3s energy lance is Melee type attack. 2here areo!er all " different typesC %a!e, Deam, Dlast, Melee, and Dlade. 2hese are used to determine what a
Special 2echni8ue will look like as well.
Special .ffects%hen e!er a character begins to gather a lot of energy into one place, there are often !arious effects
that follow. 2his isn3t from powering up, no that has its own effects which will be co!ered. %hen a
character begins to focus a lot of energy into a single point, all of that pent up energy can affect the worldaround the character. $f ;oku were to power up his Kamehameha to its ma/imum power, its safe to assume
that that the area round him would start to shake, and the land would begin to crack, the wind would blow,
and the sky may e!en start to turn black, not to mention anything not nailed down le!itating into the sky.2hese effects are more for cinematic purposes than ha!ing any really important affect on the game, although
it can easily. 2he world around the character does reco!er one the energy has been e/pended, debris falls to

acial Po+ersSome races ha!e uni8ue powers that no other race has. 2he Saiyans famed +o1aru form is one such
power. >rie1a3s ability to transform is another uni8ue power. (ell3s ability to absorb the essences of
anything is yet another. All ha!e their own inherent weaknesses as well. 2he Saiyan +o1aru form is lost
when a Saiyan looses their tail or when the full moon is gone for the night. >rie1a3s can only transform
once he meets a force greater than his own, then he is able to e!ol!e to meet the threat. Dut oncetransformed he can not re!ert back to a pre!ious transformation &as far as any one knows*. (ell3s has few
weaknesses with his powers, only due to the fact that he was designed to be like that. (ell is a true monster.
He has no real weaknesses sa!e one, his ego, it ri!als that of Fegeta3s. Howe!er in order for (ell totransform he must absorb specific indi!iduals, namely Androids @ 4 , so in a sense he has another
weakness, not much of one, but it3s something that can be e/ploited. Delow are the known racial powers of
specific indi!iduals seen in 'DL. 2his does not mean that their race is the only one who has these powers.$t3s possible for other races to ha!e these same or similar powers, although it is !ery unlikely. 2he Saiyans
turn into (olossal ape like creatures, its same to assume that there is at least other race that is capable of a
similar transformation, but not necessarily into a giant ape. &All racial powers will be denoted with whatrace-character it is used by.*
0niversal #ec$niquesAs mentioned before these are techni8ues that 6ust about anyone can learn to use once their power
le!el is high enough to allow it.
Super Speed"li-$t2his is the characters ability to mo!e or fly at super human speeds. $n 'D, the characters couldn3t
fly, but they could run at super fast speeds and leap incredible heights. %hile Master Roshi can run around
at super human speeds, he can3t fly. 2he same can be said for Ya6irobe. So while a characters power le!el
is below :##, they can only run around at super human speeds. Dut once a character reaches o!er :## they
can start flying. Howe!er the ability to fly does ha!e to be learned in spending # (AP3s. So when writtendown it would look like thisC Super Speed &;round-Air*. $f the character does not spend the # (AP3s they
can only mo!e about on the ground 2he super speed can be used to increase ones 6umping distance of

2he speed rating indicates the characters speed in combat circumstances. 2hat is the character
mo!ing from point A on the map, to point D. 2he defense bonus listed is useable when e!er the character ismo!ing at that speed, e!en if others are mo!ing at the same speed. +f course if you mo!e a slower speed
you do not gain that high of a bonus as someone who is mo!ing faster, that is until you start mo!ing at their
speed. 2he same goes for the Refle/ sa!e bonus. 2he cost is for # minutes of flight time. 2here are )
ways you can handle this. You either purchase the speed for # minute or purchase more time at that speed.>or e/ample if you want to mo!e at a speed of ## for # minutes you fork out # points of energy, but if

you want to mo!e at that speed, but for a longer period of time, say 0# minutes you would fork out another
)# points of energy.
+nce a character has learned how to fly the Mach speed number in the & *I becomes a!ailable. A
character mo!ing at mach speeds can only fly at mach : safely with in an atmosphere, any faster and theircloths would burn up. A character howe!er can generate a blast field when flying at these speeds that
protects them &an application of 'eflection*. >lying at mach speeds is for tra!el purposes only, in combat
you use the Speed listing, for any speed category, this is assuming that your character is only gong to mo!e
form point A to point D and then change direction, or fight. 2he effect of mo!ing at these speeds lea!es behind what is known as an After $mage. (haracters who can not mo!e as fast as you will see these after
images. 7ach le!el of speed allows a character to lea!e behind after image. After Mach a character is
technically in!isible when mo!ing, unless a person is capable of mo!ing at the same speed. Mo!ing at thisspeed does not mean that the character can see people-beings who ha!e the ability to turn in!isible through
some means.
$n contests of Speed, the character with the Highest 'e/terity rating is the faster character. 2he
characters Refle/ bonus is not only used as a bonus to refle/ sa!e, but it also acts as a bonus to hit? only half
of the bonus is used for this purpose howe!er. So if you ha!e a B" to Refle/ sa!es then you ha!e a B@ tohit &round down*. 2his bonus to hit is applied to only ranged attack rolls. $ncreasing speed is a free action,
and can only be raised by " le!els per round. Also ) characters mo!ing at the same speed cancel out eachothers bonuses from speed e/cept for the Refle/ sa!e bonus which is reduced by half.
5ncrease eactionsPut simply, you can increase your ability to react faster than the other guy by spending energy. 2his
isn3t about speed necessarily, although speed does play a part in it. >or # points of energy you gain a B toyour $nitiati!e. Decause of this e!en if a guy is mo!ing slower than you they can still catch you off guard.
5ncreased Actions2his is a tricky power to use and may re8uire you to do some math ahead of time to figure things
out. Dut there are ) ways in which this can be used. 2he first is to increase you ability to hit, making your
attacks more accurate. 2he other way is to increase the number of action you ha!e in a round. A normalcharacter can ha!e up to a ma/ of :, sometimes "= actions in a round. 'DL characters ha!e shown that
they can launch a flurry of attacks that can number up to ) actions in a round. %hen a character wants
more actions in a round they fork out # points of energy per action. 7ach of these actions has a DAD e8ualto the characters last normal action DAD, but at a =: per action. 2he other application is to increase ones
DAD. 2he character can spend # points of energy to gain a B) to hit. %hile the number of actions a
character can perform is limited, the increase in DAD is not limited. A characters number of actions in a
round is limited to only ) actions.
A full round action is considered to be : actions, or less. %hen a character is able to perform more
than : actins in a round they can perform additional full round actions. $f a character has actions they can
perform ) normal full round actions in a single round or they can perform . A character that has only actions can only perform full round action, and ) additional actions. 2his is handy to do as it allows a
character to power up and then they can perform ) other actions right after ward. $ncreasing ones actionsand their ability to hit is the key to winning in combat against the likes of >rie1a or (ell. Here is an
e/ampleC You want : additional actions on top of the : you automatically ha!e from your class
ad!ancement. Dut you also want to be able to hit with those attacks.
You decide that if you want a really good shot at hitting with your attacks, you3re going to need to
double you DAD. So, to double your DAD &B)#* you will need to fork out # points of energy. 9ow to

Boost Stren-t$You can increase your body3s natural strength to super human le!els. &2his does not change the
characters normal lifting-carrying capabilities. >or that you must select the Super Strength ad!anced feat.*A character can only increase their body3s natural physical strength to a certain degree. After all the body
can only handle so much stress put on it. Deings are generally only capable of gaining a "#< increase intheir bodies natural strength. Some beings are capable of ha!ing their strength go beyond this limitation. #
points of energy allows a character to gain a B) to their strength score for round. 2here is a limit to 6ust
how high a character can boost their strength though. A "#< increase in strength is not an actual "#<
increase. 2his amount is e8ual to the characters (onstitution Score? this is a "#<I increase. A ##<increase is e8ual to double the characters (onstitution Score.
2here are an e/ceptionally few indi!iduals who are capable of going for a ##< Strength increase.2hese indi!iduals are often Ad!anced Super Saiyans, or 9amekkian %arriors, or some other being. ;oing
abo!e "#< comes at a price. >or e!ery increase in strength abo!e the "#< mark the character suffers a proportionate decrease in any physical actions taken. So if your Strength Score is )", and your (on is 0#,then you ha!e a ma/imum boost of 0# &"#< increase*. Dut if you ha!e the ability to go ##< then you
would ha!e a ma/imum possible boost of #. 9ow if you were too boost your strength only to "", and then
you would suffer no penalty to all your actions and attack rolls.
$f you went ##< then you would ha!e Strength of ", but you would suffer a =0# on any actions
taken. &2his includes attack rolls, and uses of skills that are physically related like 2umble, ump, (limb,
etc.* ;oku, Fegeta, and >uture 2runks are indi!iduals who gained the Ad!anced Super Saiyan ad!ancedfeat. %hen they assume their ad!anced Super Saiyan form they ha!e no limit to how high they can boost
their strength &that is they can go for a ##< increase in strength*, but Fegeta and ;oku knew that the !ast
strength came at a price in maneu!erability and reaction time, 2runks disco!ered this the hard way.
*eflection2his is a simple power, but at the same time it can be tricky. >irst off its only really usable when
being attacked by an opponent who is lobbing energy attacks at you, or when flying. &A 0## point
deflection will easily protect a character when flying at speeds greater than mach ? this includes flying at
mach ). 2hat3s essentially a )" point deflection per mach le!el, for # minutes of flight time. 7!ery
point in a deflection negates d of damage from an energy attack. &As you will see later, energy attacks cost points of energy for d of damage.* A deflection is negated only under certain circumstances. $f a
character is physically attacked there is a chance that they will loose their deflection, but only if actually hit.
You get to make a %ill Sa!e against the amount of damage taken &this is only for the first hit takenand not each additional hit after that, if made the character does not need to make a sa!e for e!ery single hit
after the first that lands unless the ;M decides other wise*. $f you succeed then you retain your deflection,if failed roll percentiles. 2he percentage rolled determines how much energy in the deflection is lost. So if
you ha!e a ),### point deflection raised, and you are hit and you roll "@< then you loose "@< from this
amount or ,:# points from the ),### points, so they ha!e # points left.
Another way a character can loose their deflection is when they are hit with an energy attack with a
'eadly effect in it. 2he final way is for the character to power down. &2his is e/plained later.* A

deflection can be used in many creati!e ways including backhanding an energy blast out of the way?
stopping it out right, catching it and tossing it back at someone. Reflecting an attack re8uires you to ha!edouble the energy in the attack. (atching and tossing an energy blast back at a person is one cinematic form
of reflecting an attack back at a person. Another way is like hitting it like a baseball, kicking it like a soccer
ball, and so on. Rule wise when you reflect an attack &by ha!ing double the amount of energy in adeflection than the incoming attack* you immediately get to make an attack roll at your highest DAD,
against the person who initiated the attack.
$f the damage in an attack e/ceeds the characters 'eflection then it reduces the energy in the attack.
So if an attack has ,### points of energy in it and the character has only a "## point deflection, then "## points of energy from the attack gets by. 2he characters 'amage Reduction will handle any additional
damage before it is subtracted from the characters HP. Raising a 'eflection is a >ree action, or mo!e
e8ui!alent action. $t can be done as a reaction, but it costs double points for this, and the character needs tomake a refle/ sa!e against the attack, but at an additional B# to the '(.

Spinning Pile DriverPrerequisites: BAB +4), Tumble 9 ranks, 5ump, 6ile 2river
Description: This techniue is eecuted #ust like the pile driver, onl! the fighter must be able to leap ver!
high into the air where the! *the! spin as the! go up and come down. The! come down with more force
than a normal pile driver. 7nl! one of these is sometimes enough to drop a person. The spin is notnecessar! but does aid in disorientating opponents.
Action: %rappling&'ull (ound
Damage: 8ame as that for the pile driver, onl! it gains an additional +3 to damage.
Range: elee
Storm HammerPrerequisites: BAB +41, Tumble 9 ranks, 8trength )+, character"s height must be over /ft.
Description: This is a highl! unusual grappling attack and it reuires a vast amount of ph!sical strength to
do. The fighter grabs their targets head in one hand, leaps into the air with them and begins to swing them
around, then the unfortunate person has their head slammed to the ground. An!one who is able tocomplete this attack has ver! few opponents that are able to stand after this
Action: %rappling&'ull (ound
Damage: The character must first be able to make a successful grapple check. The! then make a #umpcheck that must clear /ft, as the! do so the! must make a 8trength check *20 dependent upon the targets
weight, followed b! a Tumble check *20 ). If all of these are successful the character then drops down
bashing their opponents face into the ground. The damage dealt is eual to the characters unarmed damage,+:. If an! one of the checks fails or the target escapes the grapple the attack fails.
Range: elee
Thigh PressPrerequisites: BAB +/, Tumble / ranks.
Description: This is also called a reverse suple. The fighter uses their legs and not their arms. The fighter
wraps their legs around the opponents head and shoulders locking their feet behind the back of theopponent. The fighter then drops their weight backwards, bending the opponent over. As the! do this the
fighter flips backwards doing a half back flip ad landing on their stomach, meanwhile the opponent is pulled
over and off their feet, smashing head first into the ground
Action: 8tandard
Damage: 2amage is the same as if the character had performed a normal suple *+) to damage. ;ook at

ThrowPrerequisites: BAB +3.
Description: This is a standard throwing maneuver taught b! #ust about an! fighting st!le. There is a ver!
large selection of t!pes of throws to choose from, all of which get the #ob done.
Action: %rappling&'ull Action&(eaction
Damage: This techniue has a few different uses. It can be used as part of a normal grapple action to throw
an opponent, or it can be used as a reaction to an attack. $hen used as a reaction the character uses the
opponent"s momentum against them. The character must make a (efle save eual to the targets attack roll.
If the! make the check the! can attempt to grab the target and move in such a wa! that either their ownmomentum renders them prone, or the character is behind the target with their arm twisted behind them.
This simple use can negate a targets other attacks for that round, either use works, although if the person is prone the! will have to get up. This is best used to surprise a surprise attacker who thought the character
didn"t know that the! were there.
Range: elee
nerg! Techniques=nerg! techniues can represent a plethora of different t!pes of attacks. This doesn"t count an!
special techniues that the character ma! know. 'irst I will cover the rules for a character to do up what !oucan consider normal energ! attacks, then special techniues.
>ormal energ! attacks are energ! attacks that a character can use at a moments notice. This doesn"t
mean that the character will be able to do up a kamehameha an!time the! want. (apid fire energ! blasts, orsingle handed energ! wave are the more common t!pes of normal energ! blasts that characters use. As !ou
know b! now, *as I mentioned it earlier, there are ) statuses for a character and their energ! blasts, 'amiliar
and ?nfamiliar. Initiall! a character will onl! know how to do their 8pecial Techniues. @owever oncetheir power level has become high enough the! are able to appl! their energ! in more convenient wa!s.
7nce a characters power level has reached the 3 point peak and the! will generall! know at least 4 special
techniue the! can start to use energ! attacks with out having to develop a special techniue.
All of these energ! blasts do onl! 4d/ points of damage. The! can have a variet! of effects applied
to them also, not to mention the! can be of an! t!pe. Below are the 1 different t!pes of energ! attacks that a
character can use. The cost to use an energ! attack 4 point of energ! per die of damage.
"ave: This is a beam like attack often fired from 4 hand or both hands. It often has more power in
it, but is not alwa!s the most accurate of attacks. @owever this is often countered b! adding thehoming effect to it. =nerg! $aves are limited to what effects the! can have applied to them. The!
can have @oming, Bending, Area =ffect, and 2ela! effects added to them. A character must decide
what effects it will have before it is fire. 8ome fighters with lots of energ! appl! all of these to anenerg! wave when it is fired. These can be used to counter other energ! waves, and blasts. Also
energ! waves can make use of the 0ontinuous fire rules. Blast: An =nerg! blast is a uick blast of energ! in the form of a small ball of energ! that is fired
along with several others, generall! using the rapid fire effect, but not alwa!s. These are generall!
faster to use than energ! waves, and characters can often fire off several energ! blasts at oncecompared to a single energ! wave *4 per action. =nerg! blasts however often lack the power of
other energ! attacks for their uicker use. 2amage t!pe is reduced to 4d-"s rather than 4d/"s.
=ffects that are commonl! applied to these are @oming, Area =ffect, 2ela!, and (apid 'ire effects.
A character can use this to counter other energ! blasts, but it can not counter energ! waves.
13
7/21/2019 Dragonball Z D20 Modern
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dragonball-z-d20-modern 56/142
Beam: An energ! beam is a ver! accurate attack that travels in a strait line, and can often be used tosweep an area. =ssentiall! where ever !ou point or look, !ou beam goes. Beams often have a
2eadl! and&or 6iercing effects on them to b!pass deflections and damage reduction. Although this
is more of a cinematic thing than an!thing else. =ffects that are commonl! applied to these are2eadl! effect, 6iercing, and 8weep effects. A beam can be used to counter an energ! wave, but not
blasts. Its actual range is doubled. Also energ! beams can make use of the 0ontinuous fire rules.
#elee: elee energ! techniues often have the character using their energ! to create an energ!
beam in the form of a blade, or the! pump it into their fists to improve the damage the! can do when
fighting unarmed, or funnel their energ! through a weapon *usuall! a magic weapon. 7ne wa! oranother, the character has to use their energ! to make their melee attacks deadlier. $hen used a
character must choose how to appl! their energ!, the! are allowed to onl! use so much at once. An
energ! weapon has slashing and piercing melee effects on it, and can even have the deadl! effect
added onto it. A character that enhances their melee attacks does not appear an! different, althoughif the! add an effect the! hand or foot often glows. $hen wielding a weapon a character can focus
their energ! through it, but it can onl! handle so much energ! focused through it with out shattering
once it hits something. An ph!sical weapon can onl! have an amount of energ! eual to its modifieror 4 if it has none.
Bla$e: Blade energ! attacks are essentiall! the 2estructo 2isks that rillin emplo!s. Their uniueenough to warrant their own t!pe. 8ome individuals often thrown several of these at once, or the!
ma! have a blade like attack that isn"t disk shaped, and ma! be more like a lance to spear a target.Blades make use of the 2eadl! effect etensivel!, however the! often have poor range, but can oftenkill targets in a single strike. =ffects that are commonl! applied to these are Bending, @oming,
2ela!, 2eadl!, and 6iercing. A blades damage is often more potent than other t!pes of normal
energ! attacks, even special techniues its dice t!pe increases to 4dC"s rather than 4d/"s. This t!peof attack automaticall! has the 2eadl! effect in it and as such has a minimum power range. Its
actual range is reduced in half.
ost energ! attacks are considered full round actions, especiall! special techniues. $ith Blasts!ou get a number of attacks eual to !our number of actions. elee is wholl! dependent upon !our melee
actions. A character can use up to ) energ! $aves in a round *4 for each hand. Blades are full round
actions, as are Beams. A character must first learn at least 4 8pecial Techniue before the! ma! start usingthe above DBasicE energ! techniues. 0haracters do have a 6ower range for these, but it is #ust one rating
for all of them. =ssentiall! when the character can start using these techniues the! automaticall! can create
an! basic t!pe of techniue, but their damage will be less than that of a 8pecial Techniue, and their 6owerrange will, or should be less as well.
A character starts off ?nfamiliar with appl!ing their energ! in these wa!s, but the! do uickl!
become familiar with it. *(educe the 20 for the check b! 4 for each time the! practice with these normaltechniues. The check is made for each T!pe of techniue this provides a <1 to the 20 when familiariFing
them selves with a special techniue that is ver! similar to a normal one, like the 2estructo 2isk.
All energ! attacks, regardless of being a normal energ! attack, or a special techniue, has an energ!limit. This is the limit of energ! a character can put into the energ! attack in a single round. Initiall! a
character has limit that is eual to their $isdom ) *rounded to the nearest whole tenth place G)1H3,)3H). This is for all normal energ! attacks, and can not be specialiFed like it is with special techniues.
As the character gains eperience points and&or 0A6s, the! can increase this amount b! 4 points at a time.
This number is what"s known as the techniues power range.
It is the maimum amount of energ! that the character knows how to place into the attack at a time.
The character still has to contend with the 'ocus =nerg! skill in order to create the techniue. $hile a

character ma! know how to put ) points of energ! into an energ! wave, the! ma! not be able to focus
their energ! enough to allow themselves to do that !et. >ormal energ! attacks have no minimum energ! inthem. B! default a character can not #ust fire a blade t!pe with out the deadl! effect, it has a minimum
power range in order to use. 7thers do not have these problems. As such a character will generall! fire off
an energ! wave rather than a blade t!pe when being attacked.
=JA6;=K rillin is training up at ami"s lookout. @e"s gotten a lot stronger and wants to tr! using his
energ! in such awa! that he could create an attack that the 8ai!ans ma! not be able to block. rillin decides
to create a disk shaped energ! attack. The =nerg! 2isk is a blade t!pe attack, rillin thinks that if hefocuses his energ! to form a disk, it will be harder to block. rillin draws in mater to make it deadl! to the
touch, and allowing it to cut through practicall! an!thing in its path. rillin has a $isdom score of 4/. At
this time he has a maimum power range of 3. This means that at his maimum at this point, he can onl! put up to 3 points of energ! into the attack, including what ever effect he has in it.
Special Techniques 8pecial techniues work #ust like normal energ! techniues onl! the! are deadlier, using 4dC"s for
damage rather than 4d/"s. Additionall! special techniues often do not include attacks that harm, some ma!
deal with altering materials to create t!pes of clothing, or some applications can be telekinetic. 8ome t!pesma! reuire !ou to have a certain power level as well. In order for a character to gain a 8pecial Techniue
the! must select the 8pecial Techniue advanced feat. The above listings for each t!pe are still used as it is
shown, but as a 8pecial Techniue it has the following changesK
"ave: This can have the (apid 'ire effect added to it, but if done its effective range is cut in half.
Blast: This is not a common special techniue. Its use is unchanged.
Beam: This can have the bending effect added to it its range however is like that of a normal energ!
wave.
#elee: This is unchanged in its use as well. As a 8pecial Techniue it often is a t!pe of attack that
is made. It does have a power range like an! other special techniue, with ph!sical swords its range
is still proportionate to its modifier, or 4 if it has none *+4 for ever! +4 bonus to it. Bla$e: This is unchanged as well, however its dice t!pe increases to 4d4. Also it takes 4 round to
generate and can be thrown during the net round *unless the character has boosted their actions tohave at least C actions at which point the! get the euivalent of ) full round actions that can be made
in a single round. As !ou can see the attack is ver! deadl! but takes a bit of time to generate.
Lou start things off as if !ou were creating a normal energ! attack. >ow, give it a name. The attackhas a minimum energ! range eual to the characters $isdom score 4.1. Its maimum range is eual to the
characters $isdom 8core 1. *(ound things off to the nearest tenth place, -) H -, :1 H C.
8o back to rillin, he decides that he wants this disk to be a special attack and takes the time to
develop it into one. Its minimum energ! range is ))H), while its maimum is C. The minimum energ!
would not translate out to )dC points of damage, rather it is ) #ust a flat ) points which counts for theinitial 4dC of damage, each die of damage after that costs the normal 4 point of energ! per die of damage but
the dice are now dC"s *or another t!pe of dice.
=ffects are things that can be added in at an! time to an energ! attack. 8ome, namel! the blade t!pe,
reuire that at least 4 effect be factored into its minimum energ! range. =ffects cost additional energ!
points depending on the effect to be used. Below are the different effects that are available. Also note that
some effects are eclusive to 8pecial Techniues as the! change the entiret! of the attack.

%ame Description@oming Lou can re<role !our attack 4 time for ever! ) points of additional energ! that is in the
attack. The attack tracks the target allowing !ou to perform other actions. *If !ou have )
points of energ! in an attack and onl! C of this is for homing that means that if !ou miss
!ou first roll to hit !ou get - more chances to tr! and hit !our targets. That in effect gives
!ou - rounds to hit the person with that energ! attack. 8ee the combat section on rules for
attacking with energ! attacks.
Bending Lou can cause the direction in which !our energ! attack is traveling to change, up to a 9
degree angle. This allows !ou to shoot around obstacles, or to have an energ! attack track
a target that !ou can see. =ssentiall! for 1 ki !ou gain a +4 to hit and can alter an attacksdirection *onl! once at an! time after it is fired. 8o if !ou have an attack with ) energ!
in it and 1 of that is for bending that means that !ou are at a +4 to hit, and can change the
direction of the energ! blast 4 times.
Area =ffect $ith out this effect and energ! attack onl! affects a single target. The attack affects a 4ftarea per 1 points of energ! spent in the attack.
2ela! It takes ) points of energ! to dela! an attack for 4 round. A dela!ed attack does not go offin the round it is created, but after a specific time. 8o if !ou have C points of energ!
directed to the 2ela! =ffect, then !ou have an attack that is dela!ed for - rounds. This can
allow !ou to create an attack, have it sit in one place while !ou move to a different position
to read! a different attack. These are often used as a t!pe of diversion, or to set up an
opponent for a much larger attack.
(apid 'ire 'or 4 points of energ! !ou can fire at an additional target *with blast t!pe !ou fire off an
additional number of shots for each action. This can allow a full round action attack toeffect multiple targets with onl! 4 roll to hit, and with out an area effect. This is generall!
ment for targets that are spaced out over an area, or if !ou want to land multiple shots on a
single target. (ange is cut in half, and the ma power range is reduced b! )1M.
2eadl! =ffect 4 point of energ! negates up to 1 points in a persons deflection. The attacks ma power
range is reduced b! 41M. (ange is reduced.
6iercing =ffect This attack is specificall! ment to negate hardness ratings and damage reduction. =ver! )
points of energ! negates 4 point of @ardness or 2(. *This is not additional energ! put in.
The attacks ma power range is reduced b! 41M. (ange is reduced.
8lashing *elee 7nl! A melee attack with this effect is capable of cutting a person, and ob#ects. *8ome things,
being or ob#ects, are immune to this t!pe of damage.
6iercing *elee 7nl! A melee attack with this effect is capable of piercing a person, and ob#ects. *8ome things,
being or ob#ects, are immune to this t!pe of damage.
8weep This attack is slightl! different than an area effecting attack. The character chooses 4 pointat which their attack begins. It then moves to another point where it finishes. As an
eample, of the user is in 4 suare, and the! use a techniue with this, the! can move the
beam back and forth, each movement counting as an action, but it hits an!thing that
happens to be in its path when its moving. Also the angle at which it is fired determines
how targets are affected. If fired straight ahead, an!thing in front of it is affected. If fired
from an angle, onl! things that are directl! in front of the beam fired from that angle are hit.The attacks ma power range is reduced b! )1M.
@ealing In order to gain this abilit! a character must first be a >amek, *or of another race to whichhealing is a common trait and skill, second the character must be good, and kind. Third
the! must have a power level of 1,. To heal a character spends 4 points of energ! to
restore 4dC @6 plus an additional number of @6 eual to the characters normal level. To
resort energ! to a character !ou spend ) points to restore to the person an 4 points of
energ!. In 4 round a character can spend up to half their 6ower ?p rating in energ! to
restore @6 and&or energ! to a person. A character does not need to power up to restore
energ! to a person, the! draw out as much energ! as the! wish to use for that round.
(estoring a person to full health can take several rounds to accomplish. There is no powerrange for this.
Awaken 8leeping 6ower This is a ver! uniue abilit! onl! known to a few individuals, mostl! venerable aged
>ameks. This unusual power uses no energ!, but it is capable of drasticall! increasing a
person"s power level eponentiall!. @owever not ever! one has sleeping power. In orderto determine if a person does, roll percentiles. If !ou roll under )1M then !ou have
sleeping power. 8ome individuals m! have greater potential than others. (aces with a
racial bonus to their 0onstitution, or $isdom, have better chances than most. 'or ever! +4

8o if %ohan has a 0onstitution of ), he has a +1 modifier, he also has a racial bonus to his0onstitution. As such his roll needs to be under 31M for him to have sleeping powers.
There is no power range for this.
outh Blast This is another unusual techniue that is fired from the mouth, rather than from the hands
or e!es. It is not ver! accurate, and is ment for close up attacks. Its power range isincreased b! 41M. @owever for ever! 1ft awa! form the user the target is, the user is at a
<) to hit. The attack"s damage is in part heat damage so for rule purposes treat half of an!
damage done as heat damage.
0ontrol aterial This is the abilit! to control, and manipulate materials. B! using !our energ! !ou can alter
the state of eisting materials or !ou can manipulate mater to create now new things. Thematerial to be manipulated can not be part of an eisting structure where multiple materials
make it up. Lou can control and manipulate onl! 4 t!pe of material at a time. Lour
$isdom score modifier +4 determines how man! !ards of material !ou can manipulate at
once. The compleit! of the material also determines how much energ! must be spent to
alter it *bending, reworking, or creating. *Lou can not create magical items, but !ou cancreate masterwork items. Lou can not create comple items like computers, or guns.
0reating ob#ects from ambient mater in the air, and form around themselves. 7b#ects and
tasks compleit! is broken down into 3 groupsK 8imple, undane, and 0omple. A simple
ob#ect&task would be creating a spoon, or clothing, or wrapping a target up with metal bars.
undane ob#ects&tasks would include creating weapons, weighted clothing, tools, or
creating bars around a target, or taking an eisting ob#ect and altering it into something else
like turning a sword into a silver! ball of metal. 0omple ob#ects&tasks would include
creating master work weapons, armor, altering large amounts of material in some wa!, like
turning a ton of steel into a statue, or one ver! big sword. $hen ever a character wishes to
manipulate material, the! need to make an Intelligence check *7r a 0raft check if the! wishto specialiFe in making a particular item such as weighted clothing, or weaponsmithing.
The 20 for the check is dependent upon the task *8imple, undane, 0omple. 8imple
tasks have a 20 of 41, undane have a 20 of ), and 0omple tasks have a 20 of )1.
The cost in energ! is proportionate to the cost in materials to make it. If the character is
creating an ob#ect from ambient mater *or from out of nothing so to speak then the energ!
point cost doubles. 0reating something is a full round action. There is no power range for
this.
Telekinesis This is a fairl! simple techniue for a person to learn. It can be used to levitate ob#ects and
people around the character, but not the character themselves. ;ifting ob#ects reuires
concentration, and energ!. 0haracters with high power levels find it easier to lift ob#ectsthan others with lower power levels. The Telekinesis techniue comes automaticall! to
an!one who has a power level of 1+. The! also have to spend 1 0A6"s. ;ifting anob#ect is dependent upon how much it weights. ) points of energ! allows a character to lift
41 lbs, or for 4 points of energ! !ou can lift 4 ton. A concentration check is onl! needed
to maintain a telekinetic grip on the ob#ect, especiall! when being attacked. To determine
the 20 for a 0oncentration check, take the ob#ects weight, and divide it b! ) if it is in the
lbs, or divide it b! 4 if it"s in the tons. The character can also spend an additional 1 points
of energ! to lessen the 20 of the check b! ) points. The number of ob#ects that can be
levitated is dependent upon how much energ! the! have devoted. If the character can lift
) tons it does not have to be one massive stone, it can be several smaller stones that alltogether weight ) tons. The % should randoml! decide how man! ob#ects are levitated
to eual the amount of weight the character wishes to levitate. (ange is limited to line of
sight. There is no power range for this.
i 'orce Attack This is limited to characters with a power level over ),. This is not a form of
telekinesis. The character uses their energ! to shove a person back. It does not do damage but does allow !ou attempt to knock back !ou opponent. This ignores deflections and
damage reduction. Lou do not need to power up to use this *!ou still loose energ!, but
!ou are limited in how much energ! !ou can use. Lou are limited to onl! ) points of
energ!. There is no roll to hit, !ou need onl! see !our target, *!ou can either gesture or #ust
look at them. 2amage rolled determines how man! !ards a target is move back. Targetsdo get to make a 'ort save *vs. the amount of damage in the attack, +4. $hat the! roll
negates some, or all of what ever is rolled. $hat ever is not negated represents how man!!ards the target is knocked back. If a 4 is rolled on their check *regardless of their
'ortitude bonus, the! are knocked form the air and fall to the ground if the! are fl!ing, Gsee
rules for falling from flight, or the are thrown back b! the maimum number of !ards,

which can cause the person to collide with structures resulting in damage, Gsee rules forknock back obsticals. =ampleK Lou use a i 'orce attack. Lou spend - points of
energ! and do Cd/ damage *although its not reall! damage. Lou roll !our Cd/ and get )/,
!ou add 4 to that and get a total of 3/. The target of the attack now makes a 'ort 8ave
*+41. The! roll a 43, and have a total of )C. The attack onl! forces them back C !ards.
*'or the sake of simplicit!, since a character occupies a normal 1&1ft area, Gor a 4inch
suare if using miniatures, assume that 4 !ard will move a person back 1ft G4 suare. In
this case the target of the attack would be moved back -ft, or C suares. There is no
power range for this.
Blinding 'lash The blinding flash is not reall! an attack. It is an area effecting burst of light that goes off
directl! in front of the person"s hands. The flash of light is eceptionall! bright capable f
blinding a person temporaril!. It"s a hand trick to use to escape. The onl! defense to this is
toK A not look at the person using it, B close !our e!es, 0 cover !our e!es, 2 be blind.The techniue does not damage, 1 points of energ! effects a 4ft&1ft area *length&width
directl! in front of the character, and spreads out in a ver! wide cone shaped fashion.
An!one with in the effected area gets to make a (efle save to shield their e!es in time.
*20 is determined with a base of 4, +) points for ever! 1 points of energ! in the blinding
flash. If done as a surprise action, targets do not get to make a refle save unless their
2eterit! score is higher than the person using the attack. The effects last onl! 4d/+4
rounds for each person affected b! the attack. Also an!one who does not make the save
has a 41M chance that the! blinked the second the attack occurred. If the! blink then the!are not blinded, but still loose 4 round of actions. A character must have a power level
above 41 before the! can select this. There is no power range for this.
After =ffect This t!pe of attack can represent man! different forms and unusual t!pes of attacks. This
allows a character to shoot thorns, or electrocute someone, or fr! them. In other words !oucan appl! damage from a single attack to the same target for multiple rounds. Its look and
name isn"t all that important. Lou can easil! call it 'uFF! itten 6oison 6aw strike, and
have it poison a target when the! are hit with it. The attack is not actual poison in this case
though. 2amage is rolled normall! for the first round. In the net round !ou cut the
damage in half that was rolled in the first round and appl! this newl! ad#usted amount to
the targets @6. This continues for a number of rounds eual to 4d/+4 rounds have gone
b!. @owever a targets 2amage (eduction can reduce the effects of the attack even more.
And a person"s 2eflection can block the attack as well. 4 points of energ! will do 4d/damage. *As part of a special techniue use onl! d/"s regardless.
ImmobiliFation This is similar to how After =ffect works. This is not so much a blast of energ! that candamage a person, so much as a wa! of holding them in place. This can come in the form of
webbing, a blast of thick ice, or energ! rings to bind the character. The look and name of itis unimportant. The amount of energ! in the attack determines how strong it is against a
target who wish"s to break free. 1 points of energ! gives !ou a 20 of 4. 8o ever! 1 points
of energ! increases this 20 b! 4 point. This does have a limit of having - points of
energ! in it. Targets get to make a (efle save vs., the attackers roll to hit. If the! make
the save the! avoid the attack, if the! fail the! then need to make either a 8trength check to
break free, or an =scape Artist check. There is no power range for this.
Burning Attack The Burning Attack is a flash! but weak techniue that is best used to distract an opponent
and set them up for something bigger. This trick comes automaticall! to an! fighter with a
power level above 3. =ssentiall! the entire attack is a bluff. It"s sort of like using the
@ide 6ower skill in reverse. Lou make !our opponent think that the attack has moreenerg! in it than it does. $hen a character uses this the! make a @ide 6ower check, this
amount will be added in front of what ever amount of energ! is reall! in the attack. 8o if
!ou roll a )3, and the attack has onl! 4o points of energ! in it, then !ou"re in effect tr!ingto make the attack appear as if it has )- points of energ! in it. The target of the ruse gets
to make a 8ense 6ower check, or a 8ense otive check. $ith a 8ense 6ower check the
characters 20 is eual to the attackers @ide 6ower skill roll the! made for the attack when
it was fired. If the! fail their sense check, then the! believe that the attack is as powerful as
it looks. Lou then get to make a sneak attack against the target at !our highest BAB. =venif the! would normall! retain their 2e bonus, the! loose it for these conditions. If the!
made their check the! are not caught off guard at all, or distracted. The ruse fails as the!know that that energ! attack looks big and nast! but it pack little or no punch at all.
Teleportation This is used to travel vast distances in the blink of an e!e. A character must first be able toeither focus on a source of ki in the area, such as a friend, or the! must have been there

themselves. The character travels there instantl! with out the worr! of getting stuck in ahillside, or a building. The character first needs to make a 8ense 6ower check if teleporting
to a friend&acuaintances location, or the! need to see it, or the! make a 0oncentration
check in the place of a 8ense 6ower check to teleport to a location. The 20 is based upon
how far the! have to go. If teleporting line of site then the check doesn"t mater. Take the
distance in miles, and divide it b! 41. *2ivide b! ) if its feat. 0ost wise, it will run
!ou ) points of energ! per / miles traveled. Teleporting line of sight or with in / miles of
an! distance will onl! run !ou ) points of energ!, no more, and no less. @owever the cost
doubles for each additional person who is teleported with !ou. The! must be touching at
lest one other person who is touching !ou. As such if !ou have a line of people holding
hands, all !ou have to do is touch 4 person then !ou can teleport the entire group. Alsoindividuals with power levels above 4 are easier to sense, the 20 is reduced b! 4 for
ever! 4 points in a characters power level *but not lower than 4.
iles to 'eetK 4 mile H 1)C ft.
*iles to ilometersK ./ miles H 4 kilometer, use this if !ou prefer to use kilometers over
miles in which case to determine the 20 divide the amount b! 4. Teleporting is either a
move action, or attack action.
ultiple Image This power allows the character to create multiple eact clones of them selves. These
clones move and fight #ust like the original, however the! can not use an! techniues
unless the original person gives the clone an additional amount of energ! so that the! can
use energ! techniues. 0lones have the eact same fighting stats as the character does atthe time of their creation, including boosted abilit! scores and such. It takes 4 points of
energ! to create 4 clone the clone remains active for 4 round. *Lou can choose to create 4
clone that can remain active longer, #ust add 4 points to increase its duration b! 4 round.0reating 4 clone that will last - rounds will run !ou - points of energ!. 7r !ou can
create - clones that last onl! 4 round for that same - points of energ!. The clones have
N of the originals @6, and the! can not create deflections. The also have no 2amage
(eduction or an! (esistances. ;oss of all @6, or more than half in a single attack will
destro! the clone.
%enerall! in the anime, range is not reall! a factor for an energ! blast. Lou could easil! fire a shot
from the planet that can reach the moon. @owever, most people like the idea of an energ! attack having a
listed range. 8o if !ou reall! want it to have a fied range, take the amount of energ! in it and multipl! that b! 1. This is the number of feet in range the attack has. 8o if an energ! wave has ), points of energ!
in it then it would have a range of 4, feet, or miles if !ou prefer. This would mean that 4 point of
energ! gives a range of 1ft or 1 miles depending how !ou run things. @owever adding range to energ!attacks doesn"t make much sense especiall! considering that aster (oshi"s amehameha could blow upthe moon which is about )-, miles awa! in space. If an!thing appl! range to onl! normal energ!
attacks and not special"s, the! should have no range unless desired.
$here a missed energ! blast goes to is not something !ou are suppose to worr! about unless !ou
want a bit more realism in !our games. 7ne wa! of handling this is that when a character breaks their focus
on the energ! attack, its energ! dissipates automaticall!, unless it is dela!ed, or homing. As such its goesabout on its course until its time epires at which point its energ! either dissipates, or it eplodes. 8o in
game terms if %ohan fires a blast of energ! at 0ell, and 0ell avoids it and initiates melee combat with
%ohan, %ohan obviousl! is not going to keep focusing on the energ! blast, even a little bit. 8o once his
attention is diverted from the energ! attack, it dissipates harmlessl!, or eplodes not to far awa!.
@owever the range of the energ! attack is not generall! the thing that worries"s a character the most
it"s their abilit! to avoid it. All energ! attacks *ranged ones that is, allow for a (efle save for @alf2amage. This save is not necessaril! dependentl! upon the persons roll to hit with it. =ven if an attack hits
a target alwa!s gets to make a saving throw to tr! and avoid the blast. The 20 is dependent upon how
much energ! is in it, as well as the effect. Area effecting attacks are harder to avoid over ones that target theindividual. =ver! 4 points of energ! in an attack increases the (efle check 20 b! 4, *has a base of 4.

A character who has a 2eflection up still makes a refle save, but if the! can"t make the check the!
generall! don"t have an!thing to worr! about as their 2eflection handles the damage. 2istance also impactsthe saving throw. The closer !ou are to the attacker the harder it is to dodge the attack, but the further awa!
!ou are the easier it is to dodge. 8o for ever! 1ft awa! a character is from the attacker the 20 of the attack
looses ) points from it. >ow to get back on track. Lou need to know how to integrate effects. There are ) wa!s of doing
this with !our special attacks.
'irst there is an Integrated =ffect. =ffects that are integrated have their base cost added into the
attacks minimum power range and its maimum *before it is rounded off. Then there are 7pen =ffects, these are effects that can be added into the attack at an!time but do not
affect the powers minimum power range because the 60 does not have to use the effect. In this
regard the effect is onl! added onto the powers a power range *before it is rounded off.
7k, time to get back to rillin. rillin has a minimum 6ower (ange of )).1, and a a of :1 *not
rounded !et. @e adds in the 2eadl!, and 6iercing effects to it along with the Bending and @oming effects
which he can add in an! time he wants, but he wants the 2eadl! and 6iercing effects to be the mainsta! ofthis attack. 8o with the ) primar! effects that he wants as a part of it, it has a minimum 6ower (ange of
)1.1, and a ma of 43. >ow !ou round off, so rillin at a minimum must put in 3 points of energ! to do
an initial 4dC points of 2eadl! 6iercing damage. But his integrated effects have some disadvantages.
(educed (angeK if an!thing this will give the attack a range when most attacks have an unlimitedrange. Take the number of points of energ! that will be in the attack in the attack. 'or each point
!ou will have a range of 4 feet. 8o if !our attack has 1 points of energ! in it !ou would have a
range of 1ft. =ach time an effect has (educed range !ou subtract )ft from the 4 ft per point ofenerg! in the attack, at a minimum the attack would have 4ft per point of energ!. This is applies
onl! once when the attack is added into the special attack, it is not added in each time !ou pa! etra
points for increasing the benefits of the effect. 8o with the 2eadl! effect !ou wish to negate up to
4 points of deflection with !our attack, that"s ) points of energ! that is added in, the attacksrange would onl! be 4ft per point of energ! in the attack.
(educed 6ower (angeK 8ome effects reduce the ma power range of a power. The percentage is
sometimes different but !ou use the highest percentage as a base, *if there are multiple effects withthe same percentage !ou need onl! to use 4 of them. =ach other one there after adds 1M regardless
of how high it is. 8o 2eadl! and 6iercing effects have a <41M to the characters ma power range.In all !ou would reduce the 60"s ma power range b! )M. This, like range is applied onl! once.
$ith these things in mind we again go back to rillin. @is inimum 6ower (ange is 3, and hisma so far is 4. $e now reduce his ma b! )M that is we will be reducing it b! ) points, so it will
have a a 6ower (ange of C. rillin will have to do some training to be able to increase his ma 6ower
(ange to a level that he is happ! with.
Alright, to make things easier on !ou gu!s here are a few well known techniues that are seen in
2BO.

These eamples should help !ou to figure out how to make 8pecial Techniues. >ormal techniues
look similar to this, but the! have no special names, the! do not have integrated effects, and their ma
power range is generall! lower than the characters special techniues. %oku for eample can create a

become a 0olossal siFed, ape like creature with brown fur, a long snout, red e!es, and a tail. %enerall!,most 8ai!ans are unable to control their actions in this form, although a few have evolved be!ond this.
$hen a 8ai!an transforms the! are like a wild animal, and it takes a great deal of effort, or some ver!
specific actions to get the person to focus their mind enough to attack 4 target.
=ampleK %ohan turns into his 7oFaru from. @e immediatel! goes on a rampage crushing an!thing

The check can be made once a round. If unable to make a check, the character is like a berserk wild
animal, the! attack an!thing that moves and smash an!thing around them, and the! often direct the vast
ma#orit! of their attention against an!one the! reall! don"t like who happens to be near b!. In this form thecharacter can not use comple decision making skills. Their 6ower ;evel and 6ower up all increase b! a

Also the character gains a +- to their ?narmed 2amage roles. $hile in the form no techniues can

Availabilit!: This 6ower is automaticall! available to all 8ai!ans and @alf 8ai!ans who have been bornwith tails. Those born with out tails can never gain the 7oFaru form.
The Super 'o(aru &ormThis is the 8uper 8ai!an 7oFaru form. In this form the persons fur turns !ellow and not brown. The

6ower ?p and 6ower ;evel are multiplied b! 4 not 1. The bonuses to abilit! scores and skills are all

That"s not all however. The 8uper 7oFaru form is a stepping stone to becoming a 8uper 8ai!an -.$hen a character, in their normal form, is capable of turning 8uper 8ai!an, and the! turn into a 8uper

Chapter 7Combat
;east to sa! that combat in 2BO is on an epic
and cosmic scale, depending on when it takes place.
0ombat is prett! much that same as it is in d)odern. 7nl! with 2BO the characters can have more
actions and can do more damage. 8o start off I"ll first
cover the combat applications of super speed. Afterthat I"ll move on to super strength, and powers.
Spee$ an$ De0ense8peed pla!s a big part in a characters defense. $hen a character is moving at mach speeds, it stands
to reason that !ou aren"t going to be able to hit them unless !ou boost !our abilit! to move at those speeds
!ourself. $hen ) characters are moving at super speeds the! effectivel! cancel out each others bonuses to
their 2efense. At least !ou would think that. $hen ) characters are moving at the same speed or are within 4 speed class of each other, the! loose an! bonuses although the! retain their (efle bonus but it is
reduced b! N. 8o if ) characters are moving and fighting at mach -, the! both have a combat
speed&movement of +-, and a +4 to their (efle saves. But if one character is moving at a mach speed of), while the other is moving at - then the person moving at mach - retains his full bonuses, the person
moving at the lower speeds also retains their speed bonuses, although its of course not as effective against
this person.
A person is never denied their speed bonus unless the! are bound. The person can still fl! if bound
and will retain their speed bonus onl! when moving, but loose it if the! are held in 4 place. 8uper 8peed
movement in combat is a little redundant but necessar!. In combat, a character can move at an! speedstages, as the! are not moving at those speeds for prolonged periods of time. If the! are fl!ing for
prolonged periods of time the! can onl! fl! at mach -. If the! wish to fl! faster than mach - out of combat
the! ma! do so but need to generate a blast field *a form of deflection which costs )1 points of energ! permach level of flight *in combat this is not necessar!.
This is wh! when characters are fl!ing the! often have this aura like field around them as if the! had #ust powered up. The! are moving onl! a short distance, fighting, then moving again. In the anime !ou are
often seeing characters hopping around all over the place when fighting. ovement in the series is
redundant. Lou can automaticall! move up to !our opponent and attack, as well as them moving out of the
wa!. 8o the ruling for this is that when in melee combat !ou can move and attack, or #ust move at an! timeso long as !ou are able to fl!, and as long as !ou are not struck. 0onfusing I know so I"ll give an eample.
8o here is an eample. ) characters, %oku and (aditF, are moving at mach -. The! have a speed of- each. In a single round, both can move up to - spaces at an! time. @owever a movement is negated
if hit. 8o %oku moves ) spaces to attack (aditF *:<)H1. (aditF is being attacked b! %oku and as such
/1
'usion a#in Buu tries to show 8uper %ohan, one of his
man! special Techniues.

wants to move out of the wa!, %oku gets his attack roll first before (aditF gets his free movement. %oku
misses completel!. (aditF decides to move behind %oku which is onl! )) spaces *:<))H-C, and counterattacks, flooring %oku with a single hit. $hen characters are moving like this !ou alternate attacks between
the two. (ather than %oku getting to spend all of his attacks at once, he gets 4 attack, then (aditF does, then
%oku gets one, then (aditF does. It"s a balanced wa! of dealing with things.
Also the character with the most number of attacks gets to continue pummeling their opponent even
after the! have used up all of their attacks. 8o if %oku had - actions and (aditF had / actions, (aditF would
get to make ) more actions after both he and %oku got to use - of their actions. And with in that round eachcan move at an! time, forcing their opponent to move up to them which as ever!one knows constitutions an
attack of opportunit! for entering into a threatened area. This is a plo! used a lot in the series, to move
awa! from !our opponent forcing them to follow !ou.
Super Strength an$ DamageAs one would think, super strength does increase the amount of damage !ou can deal. =ssentiall!
super strength provides a bonus to damage in addition to that of !our strength, and normal unarmed damage.
This bonus however is applied to an! melee attacks, including those made with weapons. The charactergains super strength in 4 of - wa!s. 'irst the! take the advanced feat, second the! have the abilit! to
transform, like into a 8uper 8ai!an. Third the! can increase their siFe, and forth the! can boot their strengthto incredible levels. Taking the advanced feat allows !ou to lift ob#ects as if !ou were 4 siFe larger than !ou
are. Being able to increase !our siFe, or alread! being of a large siFe or bigger confers then benefits of
super strength due to !our siFe, although taking the actual feat makes !ou even stronger. Transformingfurther increases ones effective siFe for lifting ob#ects.
At an! time a character can make use of an! one of these options to gain a bonus to damage, the benefits stack to get !our over all bonus to damage. The number of dice stack, but super strength does alter
the dice t!pe as well, this does not happen with boosted strength which increases the 8trength Bonus gained,
although the altered dice t!pe effects all dice rolled. 8impl! use the chart below to figure it out.

the possibilit! that !ou get a critical hit, which will let !ou do about -- points of damage on average. *adamage would be 3C and 19 points of damage respectivel!.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dragonball-z-d20-modern 69/142
There is also another wa! of doing tremendous amounts of damage to a target in a single attack.
0haracters moving at super speeds, when performing a charge attack, can deal an immense amount ofdamage, but it"s a double edged sword. >ot onl! do !ou deal a lot of damage against the target, but !ou
take damage !our self. The character makes a charge attack as normal, but the! are instead moving at
superior speeds. Lour speed determines !our bonus to damage. Bonuses form super strength, per the rulesabove are not applied here as speed is the factor and not strength. Also distance is a factor as well, as it
allows !ou to build up momentum, allowing !ou to do even more damage.
The speed !ou"re moving at determines the dice t!pe for damage, as well as an additional amount of
dice. The distance from !ou to the target stands to further enhance the number of dice in the attack. All thisis a bonus to !our normal unarmed damage, or weapon damage if wielding one.
Lour mach level first acts as a multiplier to an! damage dealt, ach 4 adds +41 to damage dealt.8econd for ever! 4ft of distance between !ou and !our target !ou do +4d/ points of damage. 8o if there is
Cft between !ou and !our target, and !ou fl! in on them at mach :, and !ou hit, !ou"ll do an amount of
damage eual to !our normal unarmed attack damage, *not counting 8uper 8trength, +Cd/:+41 points ofdamage But there are some circumstances revolving around when this happens. 'irst if !ou are attacking
with a weapon, it must make a save against breaking if !ou miss the attack, !ou take no damage, but !oucan loose !our weapon if !ou miss the attack. Additionall! if !ou miss !our target !ou ma! pass right b!
them and end up plowing right into the side of a hill. Targets of these charge attacks ma! make a (eflesave, if hit, to reduce the damage taken. The 20 for this is eual to the attackers attack roll, <4. If the!
make the save then the damage multiplier for speed is ignored. This etra damage is onl! applicable if the
character is moving at a mach speed and not their normal speed.
2amage is onl! dealt upon impact. Lou take damage !ourself if !ou attack !our opponent with an
unarmed attack of some sort, like a fl!ing head butt. 2amage from this t!pe of attack is generall! much lessthan that dealt to ones opponent. A character moving at normal speeds and attacking unarmed takes no
damage normall!, but when the! attack at high speeds the! will suffer some damage from the etra force
that the! have built up for their attack. 'or ever! ach level the character is charging at, the! take 4d/ points of damage if the! connect with their intended target. If the character misses their target the! continue
on past the target for an amount of spaced eual to half the distance to the target initiall!. If there is a
structure in the wa! the character plows right into it doing damage to the structure and themselves. The
damage from such a collision is eual to the amount of damage that would have been dealt to the target,minus the multiplier the structure takes the same damage. $ith some characters this is negligible do to
their high 2amage (eduction ratings.
There is also another t!pe of charging attack that a character can perform. This t!pe of charging
attack is called a DBallistic 0harge AttackE. This reuires the character to grab their opponent and then fl!
them into the ground. It can be done in the air or on the ground as long as !ou have something to fl! the
target into. 'irst !ou need to make a successful grapple attack. If !ou make the attack !ou ma!immediatel! make a charge attack into a structure, or the ground. =ver! 3ft to the structure or ground
allows the target to make a 8trength check or =scape Artist check to break free *per normal rules. If the!
make this check before colliding with the structure or ground the! take no damage, however there is achance that the! escape too late and still take damage.
The chance of this happening is proportionate to the distance to the intended structure&ground. If!ou are going to plow an opponent into a cliff that is 4ft awa!, the! get to make their normal checks to
escape, the! get onl! 3 checks though. At 4ft awa! the! have a ver! good chance that the! will not take

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dragonball-z-d20-modern 70/142
damage if the! escape right awa! form the grapple when it is first initiated. But after traveling 3ft their
chances drop b! 3M, the! now have a :M chance of not taking damage if the! escape.
If the character escapes at this point !ou roll percentiles, if the! get under :M on their roll the! take
no damage and stop their momentum in time. But if the! fail the check, it"s like the! panic and can stoptheir momentum in time. 2amage is reduced b! an amount eual to the percentage though. 8o if !our 4ft
awa! and taking !our opponent into a cliff at mach 1, the total etra damage !ou would deal would be
4d/1+41. But the! escape from !ou at :ft to the target, but the! fail the percentage roll and are
essentiall! daFed and turned around, but are able to slow themselves enough to reduce the damage dealt. Inthis case !ou roll !our damage normall!, *=ample Gaverage rollsK 4d) +4)str, +)d/feat, +4d/1+41H
493 points of damage, after that !ou take the amount of damage and subtract the percentage form it, in this
case its :M, *=ampleK 493<:MG431.4H1:.9, round down the final amount if needed. 8o n the end thetarget of this attack takes onl! 1: points of damage compared to the massive amount of damage the! would
have received had the! not escaped.
The instigator of this attack however takes no damage if the person escapes from the grapple, or if
the! collide with the ob#ect. Also a character can be thrown into a structure. The rules above are used
again, onl! the target of the grapple does not need to make an escape check, ecept at when first grappled.After a target is grappled, the attacker can then chuck their opponent into a structure or the ground. The
target of this attack ma! make a (efle check ever! )ft to tr! and stop their flight. The 20 of this check iseual to the attacker"s 8trength score *including if its been boosted. The 8uper 8trength advanced feat,
along with it being of large siFes, adds a +) to this 20 for each level of 8uper 8trength. 8o if 88) %oku hasan ad#usted 8trength of : and chucks 88) Pegeta into a cliff, Pegeta has to make a check against a 20 of
:-.
The effects of super speed are not applied to this damage unless the character spends 4 round
spinning their opponent around to build up momentum, the best one can do is 4 mach level per round spent
doing this. @owever each round the opponent gets to make an attempt to escape the grapple. The increasein speed does ad#ust the 20 of the check more b! adding 1 to it for each mach level hit. 8o if %oku is able
to spin Pegeta to mach 4 the 20 of :- increases to :9, and if he can hit mach ), then it increases to C- and
so on.
3noc*4bac* $hen a character is hit with tremendous force the! are often knocked back several feet or the! are
knocked form the air. This happens a lot in 2BO, especiall! the later parts of the series. There are onl! afew conditions for a character&opponent to suffer knock<back conditions. 'irst if the character is attacked
with a full round attack that scores a critical hit, the! are automaticall! knocked from the air and fall to the
ground, taking fall damage if the! hit. Another wa! is to be hit with an attack that eceeds the characters
2(, b! double its rating. This will also knock the character from the air. =nerg! attacks can do this as well, but the damage done must meet the reuirements above for beating a character"s 2( rating.
$ith the either wa!, if a character is hit with a critical attack or the damage dealt eceeds their 2(,the! are knocked form the air. A character who is knocked form the air can make a (efle save to stop their
fall. This save is eual to N the damage dealt. If the! make the save the! are able to stop their fall about
half wa! from the ground. The! are allows to make this check ever! 1ft of distance form the ground. Acharacter who his /ft up in the air and fighting, gets to make the check 4) times. Also the higher the
character is in the air the easier it is for them to stop. If the! fail a save, the! can tr! again.

Spring Attac* . &l!ingB! the time a character learns how to fl! the! should ver! well have the 8pring Attack feat.
@owever if for some purpose the! do not have the feat, before the! learn how to fl!, then the! are able to act
as if the! have the feat as long as the! are fl!ing, even if the! are less than an inch off the ground.
&l!ingA character who is fl!ing is able to fl! with much more agilit! and finesse than the! would with a #et
pack or a vehicle. 'or a character, fl!ing is as eas! as breathing once the! learn how to. The character can
hover, stop on a dime, and perform comple maneuvers with ease. There are no skill checks or an!thingfor a character fl!ing, for them it"s like walking. $ith vehicles there are often specific maneuvers that the!
can do that reuire skill checks to do them, like turning a tight corner, or doing a ?<Turn at 9mph.
0haracters in this game don"t need to worr! about that, the! have precision with their fl!ing powers and canchange direction at will, like a person on the ground. This ma! however reuire the character to make a
Tumble check.
8ince fl!ing is like walking for the character but onl! has more directions of travel to choose from,then like when moving on the ground !ou sometimes need to make a Tumble check to avoid things. All the
rules governing when a Tumble check is applied are applied to a fl!ing character as well. Also depending
on the situation, %"s should give either a +) bonus to checks per mach level, or increase the 20 b! ) permach level. This is situational and is left up to the %"s discretion on when to appl! it.
Powering /p . Trans0ormations
As mentioned earlier on, the act of 6owering ?p is a full round action that can be combined with theact of transforming. A character that performs both of these actions looses their movement for the round,
but can move during the net round. A character with boosted actions that eceed - normal actions, can still
attack for that round, but ma! not move. A character does not have to transform when powering up, but
them must power up first before the! can transform. Transforming does count as a full round action if doneseparate from powering up. But the character can move during either round.
=ample 4K Pegeta has powered up once alread! to get to %oku and save him from Android 49"s energ!draining attack. 8ince Pegeta has alread! powered up he can transform into a 8uper 8ai!an at his leisure.
8ince Pegeta likes making an entrance, and no one knows he is a 8uper 8ai!an he decides that this is the
perfect time to show off his new power. After knocking Android 49 awa! from %oku, Pegeta takes a free
action to gloat and start a dialog. Android 49 gets up then he and ) also engage in the dialog as it adds towhat Pegeta"s pla!er wishes to do to show off Pegeta"s new power. Pegeta then turns 8uper 8ai!an and
moves up to Android 49. In the net round Pegeta shows off #ust how powerful he is.
=ample )K %oku returns to =arth and meets Trunks. (ight off the bat Trunks challenges %oku to a sparing
match. %oku spends his first round powering up and transforming all at once, as does Trunks. >either of
them can move for that round. In the net round Trunks goes on the offensive and puts %oku"s 8uper8ai!an powers to the test.

Blowing Stu00 /P 1Planets2Les, the part that !ou want. Blowing things up that are a lot bigger than a breadbo. >ow
destro!ing ob#ects that are larger than a vehicle such as a building or a moon is normall! an incredible
undertaking. @owever in 2BO blowing up planets is often the mainsta! of ever! conflict. >o in B=8 d)there is a set of rules for blowing up buildings as well as planetoids. *Its in chapter 44, =uipment.
@owever I"m going to deviate a bit for those rules, although I"ll be basing m! rules loosel! after those.
In order to destro! an! structure or land mass *like a mountain, an energ! attack must be an area
affecting attack. The siFe of the target determines who big of an area needs to be affected in order for an!
real damage to be done. The net hurdle to deal with is the structures @ardness or 2amage (eduction.2amage has to eceed this rating in order to do sufficient damage to it to destro! or topple a structure. @6
is used but becomes redundant with incredibl! massive things, namel! planetoids.
The table below out lines the area that needs to be affected in order to affect the structure, land mass
or planetoid. Then there will be an estimated @ardness&2amage (eduction of the structure, land mass or
planetoid, as well as @6 *when applicable, and an eample of it.
2etermining the ob#ects estimated siFe and @ardness&2( is eas!. =ver!thing up to 0olossal is prett!
much alread! eas! to cover. @owever with things even bigger than that !ou need to add 4 to its
@ardness&2( for ever! estimated siFe ranking above that. The B=8 d) book has listed that an office building is essentiall! double the siFe of a colossal structure *)-<)1 floors. The average sk!scraper is even
bigger than this, at least twice as big *1</ floors. 8o it would be colossal -. 2estro!ing a structure is
much easier than destro!ing a land mass or planetoid as the! are not hollowRusuall!. *@6 for a structure iseual to 3 its hardness, +4 for each siFe above edium, if it is larger than colossal then add ) to the
amount for each multiplier starting at ) and above G3H+-, -H+/.

2estro!ing planetoids and land masses is, as I alread! mentioned, harder than a building. Buildings
and such are of course hollow and planetoids and land masses are not. In m! previous write up I found m!original write up for planetoids and land masses inadeuate. Its common sense that if !ou launch an energ!
blast with the strength of a missile that it will not onl! leave a decent siFed crater, but could ver! wellobliterate what ever it hits.
6lanetoids and land masses could obviousl! take lots of damage to obliterate. 8o in order to destro!one of these it"s kind of a bit of common sense and %"s call. Below are some idea"s as to what !ou could
base things off of for land masses.

6lanetoids reuire something else. %enerall! a good rule for this is that it should either take all ofthe 60"s energ! to do so, or a decent portion of it. The blast has to be able to affect an area to start. Thearea has to affect 4 mile as well, but this is case dependent. An attack that can destro! the core of the planet
need onl! be able to borrow that far under ground first where it detonates. This is how aster (oshi in part
destro!ed the moon. The 60 generall! needs to be able to do 1 to 3,+ points of damage to a planetscore to either destabiliFe it or cause an immediate chain reaction that will make the planet blow up after a
few seconds rather than minutes. To destro! the planet with an area effecting attack it needs to be able to
affect and area several miles wide. %enerall! a 4 mile area will do the trick. The amount of damage isabout the same as going for the core. In the end planetoid destruction should be left as a plot device to
further the stor!.
#ax Power Ratings5ust a short thing on this sub#ect. There is something to keep in mind with a power rating as well.
This pertains to character"s who transform. $hen a character transforms the! can generall! do even more
damage with their special techniues than before. $hat ever the increase in power level, it is also used onall of the characters special techniues ma energ! ratings. 8o %oku"s ) ma rating for the
amehameha wave would increase to -, when he turns 8uper 8ai!an 4. *The aioken attack does not
do this as it is not an actual transformation, but something of a lesser one.
Damage Re$uction2amage (eduction pla!s a big part in things. There are essentiall! ) t!pes of 2amage (eduction in
2BOK 6h!sical and =nerg!. 2amage (eduction or 2( deals with ph!sical damage dealt b! unarmedattacks, bullets, blades and such. A characters 2( ma! not eceed the ma amount of ?narmed 2amage

ensure that both 60"s and enemies do take damage from strong attacks while weaker ones don"t do a thing.

Chapter 8
GM Section
This is an enhancement to the rules found in
the d20 Modern player’s handbook. As you
undoubtedly know by know that you will needaway of governing characters Power evels andcharacter levels! along with those of enemies
encountered. "enerally #$ means #ncounter
evel! but with these rules it means #%uivalent$haracter evel. This is what a character gains by
having a high power level. &ow the rules for d20
Modern have characters generally limited in level tolevel 20! although this is up to the "M. This is
however how ' limit things. This helps keep
characters grounded to some degree when
interacting with normal people. 't also puts a limiton their normal skills and abilities with all of their super human ones off to one side.
This is done to set the basis of the characters level of normality and how they advance in life ingeneral. Take "oku for e(ample. "oku has spent most of his life in the wild and fighting. As such his 20
levels are focused in the )trong! *ast! and Tough classes first! with all the rest in Martial Artist. This shows
that "oku is geared toward fighting+ as such he lacks social skills and knowledge skills. ,ecause of this"oku isn’t all that good with interacting with people! although his high $harisma makes up for this. &ow
we have "ohan! "ohan has grown up fighting! but he has also been forced into going to school and studying
almost as hard as he fights. ,ecause of this "ohan grows to have levels in )trong and Tough hero classes but has levels in the 'ntelligent hero class followed by levels as a Martial Artist.
&ow the characters all have the ability to spend their energy to enhance their abilities to )uper
-uman and even god like levels. This energy grows with time and training. The chart below out lines the#$ adustments for characters with Power evels. ' decided that it would be best to set some base

when he first came to #arth. They are the most powerful
dragon balls in e(istence! they grant only one wish! and will
destroy the planet that the wish was made unless they are
returned to the planet with in year’s time.

;<ust as a note! some folks didn’t care for the original progression so ' changed it.=
'n addition to one’s power level the addition of advanced feats also increases one’s #$.
#ssentially every 2 advanced feats a character has increase their #$ by . The )uper )aiyan advanced
feats however each count as an #$ advancement of proportionate to the )uper )aiyan level. )o a )uper)aiyan has an #$ adustment of 1! an Advanced )uper )aiyan has a 1 also! while a )uper )aiyan 2 has
a 12 #$ adustment. Any type of transformation does this as well. )ome enemies have a uni%ue
transformation power called >)tage #volution?. This works differently than a )uper )aiyan’s
transformation and has an #$ adustment e%ual to the ma(imum number of transformations the characterhas. 't takes 3 bonus feats ;through spending $AP’s= to increase the characters #$ by .
Character Advancement"aining @p from battles is pretty much done the same however characters gain @p in a more ways
that ust fighting enemies. ou’ll notice that in the "ame Mastering section of the d20 Modern book that
there is a table for determining e(perience points earned for an encounter. -owever 8,B goes well beyond
these limits. )o to adust for this we need to come up with a way for characters to earn @P from fighting anopponent with an over all evel of 001. 8oing this is simple.
*irst take the opponents base classes! ;-ero classes C Advanced classes=. &ow find the average
,ase class levels for the P$’s! and then find the @p normally earned like you normally would.
&e(t take the villains #$ adustment and multiply the @p amount by this.
astly take the number of characters involved in the fight! and divide the amount of @p by this.;Thus if the total amount is 00!000(p and P$s were in the fight they would each get 2/!000.=
Then of course there is the character’s knack for training. Training happens are 3 different levelsDPhysical Training! #nergy Training! )paring and "ravity Training. Most normal humans do Physical
Training. $haracters like Mr. )atan may have a rather impressive power level for a normal human! but they
lack knowledge in how to train to control ones energy and to improve upon it. -is daughter! Eidel bridgesthe gap here and learns this! ust enough of it though to make her a formidable fighter beyond her father! butnot even near "ohan and the other’s power levels.
They have increased their power levels through training. Mr. )atan only knows a few things aboutenhancing his own strength and speed+ however he attributes this to adrenalin rather than any special
knowledge of how to use energy to increase strength. -e is generally limited in its how he applies this
energy. Eidel has a bit broader of an understanding of things! and because of "ohan! she can use energy tomany ways that "ohan and the others can! e(cept to deflect energy attacks and fire them off. 9emember to
round things up if necessary. These forms of training are generally not done separately! and are often done
together to ma(imiFe one’s time.
Physical Training: Physical training is done to improve upon a characters physical stats andabilities! namely their Ability scores! -P! and Physical )kills. A character has 3 levels of training
under this categoryD Garm Hp! -eavy! and 'ntense. Garm Hp is in fact normal human level of
training. This is what many professional athletes do! however the BI*ighters and your characters are
going to be above this! at least eventually. Garp Hp has characters gaining their over all level in @p per year! advancement is slow. -eavy Training is further above this! @p gained is gauged in months
and not years. $haracters earn their over all level in @P per month. astly there is 'ntense Training.
This is cram training where you are training practically non stop! e(cept to eat and sleep. This formof training has the character gaining their over all level in @p each week of training. &o BI*ighter
63

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dragonball-z-d20-modern 76/142
ever trains at Garm Hp level unless their retired ;like what amcha C $hiaotFu eventually do!
followed soon after by Tien=. Ghen a character decides to train! roll d2 ; for -eavy! 2 for'ntense=! this is done per for each month that the characters train.
Energy Training: This is similar to Physical Training but is done with the characters energy! it isdone to improve the characters Power evelJPower Hp! improve a techni%ue’s Ma( Power limit! or
to develop or learn a new techni%ue. The character often meditates for periods of time! and will use
their various techni%ues repeatedly. A character has 3 levels of training under this categoryD9eflective! $ombative! and Meditation. 9eflective is an all purpose training that incorporates
meditating and using one’s powers off and on. 't is a more rela(ed form of energy training! @p isgained per year so advancement is slow with this. $ombative is when one uses their powers in acombative fashion! not necessarily fighting anyone so much as pushing them selves hard and using
up as much energy as they can by going all out. 't’s a e(cellent way to gain @p %uickly! @p is
gained each week of training. Meditation is an effective! but slow way to increase one’s powers.
9ather than actually using them! the character enters a deep meditation! where they focus theirenergy in different ways to increase their powers. @p is gained over the course of months rather
than weeks. 't’s slow but effective. ike the physical training! characters earn their over all level in
@P with each type of training.
Sparing: )paring has you fighting a comrade! but not to kill. This is an even better way of gaining
@p! and is more effective. @p gained is as per normal rules! but the amount is divided by 2.
Gravity Training: This is a much more complicated form of training! and much more difficult.*irst '’ll e(plain few things! -umans and any other humanoid race have a limit of 4I0 gravities+ thatis most normal humans can only withstand a ma(imum of 4( the #arth’s normal gravity while those
who can control their energy can with stand up to 0( the #arth’s gravity. &amekkians can with
stand /0 gravities! and )aiyans have no known limit. #ach race can only increase the level ofgravity they train under by a certain amount as well. -umans and humanoid beings can only
increase their gravities by 2 per week up to their ma(imum. &amekkians can increase gravities at a
rate of / per week. )aiyans increase gravities at a rate of 0 per week. &ow a single gravity acts as
a multiplier to the previous amount! 2 gravities e%uals 2( #arths gravity or an increase of level ofgravity like from 2( #arths gravity to 3( #arth’s gravity.
&ow the gravity level makes it hard to move around under those conditions. A character’s )trengthand 8e(terity are reduced by 2 per gravity level. )peed is reduced by / per gravity level. The
characters ,A, is reduced by 2 per level as well. 'f a character’s strength is reduced to 0 they are
flattened and can not move. 'f a character’s )trength is reduced by K of its ma(imum the characteris encumbered and suffers all penalties for being encumbered. Through out the week the character
must make a )trength check against the amount their )trength was reduced! 10. Ghen a character
makes the check they have gotten used to the gravity and can go up a level. *rom then on training at
the level of gravity they are use to is no longer a hindrance! the character makes strength checkwhen first e(posed to the level! this is with their full strength score! vs. the amount it would have
been reduced by if they make it they are not bothered by it and can more about normally! if they fail
the check they are daFed for d12 rounds while they get use to the gravity again.
A character who decides to train under gravity automatically uses the training rules for the above
training types! with weekly @p calculated. The character’s gravity level increase acts as a multiplierfor any @p earned. The character does not have to increase the level of gravity by this amount
though! this is the ma(imum safe amount that these races can with stand. They can increase it much
more slowly or ump right to their ma(imum if they feel that they can take it. *or #(ample! when allof the BI*ighter’s died! e(cept "oku! "ohan! and :rillin! they were already strong enough that they
could ump right to 0( earth’s gravity with only minor hindrance for a while.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dragonball-z-d20-modern 77/142
'n this case where a character is training under heavy gravity well above what they should start
training at+ they take d4 points of damage for each level of gravity. The character makes theirnormal strength checks and such for each week as if they were training under normal conditions! but
as they get use to the gravity! the amount of damage they take each week is reduced by d4. ;True it
would be each day but this simplifies matters.= )o if Tien trains at :ing :ai’s Planet! he isautomatically e(posed to 0( #arth’s gravity. Tien is already pretty strong! so the gravity doesn’t
effect him as badly as the others. Tien has a )trength of ;lets say= 3! at 0( #arth’s gravity! Tien’s
)trength is reduced by 20 points. -e still has a )trength score of though. *or the first week of
training! Tien makes a )trength check against a 8$ of 2! he easily makes this and can ignore 2(#arth’s gravity. -is )trength score goes up to 4. The ne(t week he has a 8$ of ( #arth’s! so his
8$ of this time around! since he is human and his gravities increase by 2. As you can see! he
slowly adapts at this rate.
)aiyans and &ameks are a bit different. They can get use to gravity as a slower rate! much
like a humanJhumanoid to make it easier to beat the 8$’s however this all happens with in thecourse of a week. 'f they fail even one of these checks! then it carries over into the ne(t week. )o if
"oku is having a hard time at 0( #arths gravity he makes 0 )trength checks for that week to
simplify things. -is strength is reduced by 20! from its normal 25. "oku is really hard pressed tomove about under this gravity. -e has a 8$ of 30 to beat normally! and is at a I to his checks. And
adding even more insult to inury! he is wearing weighted clothing! his strength score is even furtherreduced by 3 points ;see the #%uipment section for further details=.
)o he now has a )trength score of /! and is at a I3 to his strength checks. )ince he has to
take his time here his strength checks are all broken down and spaced out making it a bit easier on
him! -is first check is against a 8$ of 2! then against and so on ;using the minimum humanrules for this.= 't takes "oku along time to build his strength back up to a point where he no longer
is bothered by the gravity. "ravity training is done with out the use of ones boosting powers. 'f a
character boosts their strength with heir energy it does allow them to move about more freely! but itcompletely cancels out the effects of the training and denies the character their multiplier to their
e(perience points for that week.
Spending XP@P is spent mainly for class advancement like normal! but once you hit the $lass level limit of 20
you gotta do something with any more @P coming in. &ow $APs may be used prominently! but some
"M’s may still want to give out @P in addition to $APs. )o here are some rules on how to spend characters@P.
Power evel 'ncreaseD 'ncreasing the characters Power evel ;and subse%uently power up= is one ofthe maor parts of any 8,B game. Ghen a characters power level is below !000 points it will cost
them /0(p to increase it by 0 points. Lnce their power level has reached !000 points it will costthem 2/0(p to increase it by 20 points. &ow these costs are fi(ed. 'f a character has a Power evelof !200 it will cost them 2/0(p to increase it by 20 points. They can not choose to spend /0(p to
ust increase it by 0 point! they must spend the 2/0(p. ,elow is a chart outlining the @P cost as it
depends upon how high the character’s power level is. Also once a character’s power level has
reached 20!000 or more they may round up their power level to the nearest hundred spot! thus if theyhave a Power evel of 20!050 you would spend you normal 700(p to increase it by 00points you
would then round it off in the characters favor. Thus 20!50 would become 20!200 instead. This
adustment of rounding the characters power level off happens again when the character starts to
6/
7/21/2019 Dragonball Z D20 Modern
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dragonball-z-d20-modern 78/142
gain 1!000 increase to their power level thus the hundreds spot is rounded off to the characters
favor. This sort of adustment happens again with 0!000 and 00!000 and so on.
Power Level XP Cost Increase Power Level XP Cost Increase
770 or ess /0(p 10 0!000!000 to 7!777!000 4!000(p 16!000

&ote though that should a game reach a stage where the character;s= normal power level reaches a hugenumber in the billions ;e(cluding increases from transformations= they should be retired! or the game should
be coming to an end with those characters.
)pending @P for *eats is another option. The $ost in @P to gain a feat varies. 't will run the
character 00(p multiplied by the characters class level. Thus with a class level 20 character itwould run them 2!000(p per additional feat they wish to gain. 't’s the same for Advanced *eats.
$haracters can also increase their )kill points by spending @P. This however can only be done after
a character’s $lass evel has reached 20. 't will cost the character 3!000(p for levels worth of
)kill points. The amount of skill points gained is e%ual to the characters 'ntelligence bonus plus
d1 points for levels worth of skill points. )o if a character is a level 2 $haracter to gain levels worth of )kill they would spend 3!000(p. ,ut if they needed levels worth of )kill points as
they are level 2 it would run them 2!000(p total. Ln the bright side the characters )kill Point and
$ross $lass )kill point ma(imum does increase based upon the $haracters Lver all )kill evel.
Thus the level 2 character is not restricted to putting only 23 ranks into a class skill even thoughthey are level 2. 'f you have the 8C8 bookD #pic evels! or the 8M’s handbook for the 3./
#dition it has out lined #pic level progression for )kill ma( 9anks.
'ncreasing )aving Throws is another wanted thing. The character gets a 1 increase to all of their
saving throws every other #$. -owever it costs @P to purchase the increase. 't will run the
$haracter /0(p multiplied by the bonus they want and by their current total $haracter level to gain a1 bonus to all their )aving throws. *irst though this can only be done every 3 levels! and the bonus
must not e(ceed that gained through this! so a level 24 character could have up to a ma( of a 12 to
their saving throws from this. )econd it’s a good idea to keep up on this with your character as the$ost to bring the characters )aving Throws up to par can get very spendy. )o if your character is a
level 35 character who hasn’t purchased any )aving Throw advancements with @P yet it will run
them !00(p to gain a 14 to their saves bring them up to par.
Then there is increasing the $haracters ,ase Attack ,onus. This can only be increased by point
every 2 #$’s thus there is again a limit to how much can be purchased. 'ncreasing the ,A, costs
/00(p times the number of points being purchased.
Abot CAPs &ow your probably also asking what about $AP’s $AP’s are essentially instant @P that can be
spent. They are rewards that are earned in addition to @P! or normal class level advancement. A rule to
64
7/21/2019 Dragonball Z D20 Modern
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dragonball-z-d20-modern 79/142
keep in mind for $APs is that if there is a substantial increase ' the bonus gained through @P purchase!
namely with increasing the characters level! it will also adust the bonus gained by spending a $AP. Thusnormally $AP will increase a characters power level by 0 points. ,ut if they already have a high power
level above !000 the bonus from the $AP would be adusted accordingly. Thus rather than a 10 it would
be a 120 as long as their Power evel is above !000.
Sharing Energy't’s a well known fact that at several points in 8,B and in the movies that the characters often give
their energy to one character or another! generally it’s to "oku. Anyone can do this! even if they can’t use
energy. A person must first of their own free will! wish to give a person their energy. This is done manytimes with the )pirit ,omb. A person has the option of giving all of their energy or a percentage. This is
done through either physical contact with the recipient or by raising ones hand into the air. 'f a person gives
all of their energy they are left with only /N of their energy! so they in fact do not actually give all of theirenergy. This was a tactic used by "oku and the others when they faced the egendary )uper )aiyan! ,roly.
#veryone knew that not a single one of them had enough power alone to fight this monster. "oku had the
highest power level of all of them! and he was the most driven of them.
#ach one of them gave "oku their power! with Eegeta eventually doing the same! putting "oku’s
power beyond that of ,roly. 'n game terms it looks sort of like thisD ,roly has a Power evel of about
6/!000!000. "oku has a Power evel of 2/!000!000+ "ohan has a Power evel of 4!000!000+ Trunks has aPower evel of 7!000!000+ Piccolo has a Power evel of 20!000!000+ and lastly Eegeta has a Power evel
of 2!000!000. "oku has power donated from Trunks! "ohan and Piccolo. #ach have only powered up
once. "oku has about 20!000!000 points of energy already at his disposal. "ohan gives "oku 2!40!000 points of energy first. "oku’s Power evel has temporarily umped from 20!000!000 to 32!40!000. Then
Piccolo oins in! as does Trunks. #ach gives "oku /!200!000 C !0!000 respectively.
"oku’s power level climbs to 4!500!000. *inally Eegeta gives in and gives "oku his energy.
Eegeta give 5!20!000 points of energy. )o "oku’s new temporary Power evel is 50!00!000. -e has
enough power at his disposal to put him /!00!000 points above ,roly! which more than makes a differencein this fight. "oku’s power up of course adusts with each increase. And he powers up each time! so his
final power up thanks to Eegeta! allows him to draw out enough energy to beat everything ,roly has! and
"oku proves this with a single punch that shatters ,roly. -e then has ust enough energy left to teleporteveryone still on the plant to the )pace )hip :rillin! 9oshi and Lolong were in.
#nergy gained in this fashion is a last ditch thing! everyone giving energy is instantly fatigued for therest of the day. The person who is absorbing the energy can use this energy until they rela( and power
down. )o once "oku got every one to the space ship! he rela(ed and powered down from his )uper )aiyan
form! as such he automatically lost all of the absorbed energy e(cept for what ever amount was his own.
Also anyone capable of creating the )pirit ,omb can choose to absorb the energy from the )pirit ,ombrather than lobbing it at a target. Again "oku does this with )uper Android 3.
!assive "amage Threshold'n 8,B! characters show to have a better than average ratings with this. Ghile normal people and
thugs often have less than ade%uate ratings. )o when a character starts gaining 8amage 9eduction! or
already has it! they may apply their 89 rating to their Massive 8amage Threshold rating as well. Aside
from this the rules are still the same. This way if a character is shot in the head it won’t be as lethal as one
66
7/21/2019 Dragonball Z D20 Modern
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dragonball-z-d20-modern 80/142
would think it to be. This happened often when "oku! and :rillin were kids and training with Master
9oshi! while aunch was living with them also. Most of *rieFa’s low minions don’t have this as they can’teven control their energy.
!oneyMoney in 8,B is a little different than in the normal Gorld! but not by much. Money in 8,B is
called Benny. The principle of economics is the same! but can easily be handled like how you handle "old
and )ilver in 8C8. Most 8,B characters gain their wealth by participating in Martial Arts tournaments.)ome have obs aside from this+ like amcha is a sports star. -owever you want to handle this will work
ust fine.
Conter #lasts $ Power StrgglesThis is one of the more intense aspects of 8,B. ou can use almost any type of energy attack
e(cept for ,lade and Melee types of energy attacks as well as any uni%ue energy techni%ues.
Conter #lastGhen the character is the subect of an energy attack! ;Gave! ,eam! ,lade Oranged versions only or
,last types=! they can counter the attack with an energy blast of their own. And in some cases of this a
power struggle can ensue. *irst in order to counter an energy attack you need to be at least 0ft away fromyour opponent in some way. ,eing closer than this does not give you time to react although you can
perform a counter blast if you are not the subect of an attack but wish to interrupt one before it lands. *or
e(ampleD Piccolo is under some sort of mind control! he is about to fire an energy wave at point blank rangeat "ohan! "oku see’s Piccolo powering up the attack and %uickly moves in to deflect Piccolo’s energy wave
with one of his own.
Ghen a character is the subect of an #nergy attack! they may attempt to perform an energy attack of
their own to counter it. The character forgoes their &ormal 9efle( save! although if they have a deflection
up they still retain it. The character must declare their intentions when their opponent decides to launch an
energy attack at them. Hpon doing this you are allows to make a single counter attack blast of any type solong as it matches your opponents. This if they are firing an energy wave at you! you would counter with
the same type of attack! although with ranged blade attacks! any type works to counter them. ou make
your normal roll to hit.
our distance from the target also provides a penalty to this roll. 'f with in 0ft of your opponent
you are at a I5 to your attack roll. The penalty drops by 2 points for every 0 feet beyond this you are. )o if
your 30ft away! you are at a I to your attack roll. 'f your attack roll fails to hit then you fail to launch acounter blast in time to stop you opponents attack! ust hope your deflection holds out.
'f you hit with your attack and it has at least 001 points of energy in it than you opponents then
their attack is countered and knocked away. 'f you have at least /001 points of energy in the attack than
your opponent does in their then you reflect their attack. Ghen this happens! your attack! plus half of the
energy from their attack flies right back at them. A character that performs a counter blast looses theirmovement action for the ne(t round.

Power StrggleA power struggle comes into play when 2 energy blasts of similar strength connect when performing
a $ounter ,last. Ghen this happens the two characters begin to add more energy into their attacks each
round! as they vie in a contest of wills. The greatest power struggle seen to date is the fight between ))2
"ohan and $ell. #ach opponent in the round after the fist one in which the Power )truggle originates getsto make opposing Gill checks. Ghen one person wins the will check they get to add the amount of their
Gill check plus an additional amount of energy e%ual to their over all level. The looser of the check only
gets to add an amount of energy e%ual to their over all level.
Ghen the amount of energy in one persons attack e(ceeds the others by at least /00 points then their
attack passes by and connects with the other person! ;plus half of the other person’s energy=. -owever thereis something else to keep in mindD )aiyan 9age. 'f a )aiyan $haracter enters into a )aiyan rage during a
Power )truggle! they gain a bonus to any of their Gill checks that they make under these conditions e%ual to
their $harisma score.
There is really no limit to the length of time a Power )truggle can be maintained! its more up to the
combatants than anything. Power )truggles are very intense and it’s easy under these conditions for a
)aiyan to enter into a rage. Ghen 2 )aiyans are fighting each other! it’s easy for both to enter into a )aiyanrage! with the victor often being the one with the greater power! and strongest will. )uch a fight occurred
between "oku and Eegeta in their first meeting. 'n the end "oku won due to his ability to vastly increasehis power level by transforming with the :aioken attack.
Transformations are permissible during a Power )truggle! as is powering up. These actions negate
any Gill checks for that round on both sides. That is when "oku transformed with the :aioken (! he
negated his Gill check and Eegeta’s Gill check for that round. &either could add more energy to the attackuntil the start of the ne(t round.
%ecovering &P'n 8,B the characters generally recover from their inuries rather %uickly. -owever some inuriesthey aren’t able to. As a rule! some attacks are lethal including unarmed attacks! but there are different
levels of severity! and there are different levels of recovery. The super powerful characters of 8,B are able
to recover from their beatings and inuries faster than any normal person! while a normal person may needmonths in a hospital to recover.
-P can go fast in battle so recovering it some how is a big thing. *irst let’s look at the types ofinuries a character has to deal with.
$utsD These of course vary in severity. A cut re%uires special healing often natural or with some aidlike a senFu bean or medical treatment! or regeneration. 8amage dealt by weapon that slash or in
some way cut the character can not be recovered on the battle field! they re%uire treatment. Thisreduces the amount of -P the character has at their disposal in a fight. 'f they character is hit by an
attack that will cut them! like from a sword or a destructo disk the damage dealt by it will not berecovered Ghen the character is allowed to recover -P ;e(plained later=.
Puncture GoundsD )ame as cuts! they need special treatment.
,reaksD depending on the type of break a character can try to set their own limb and continue to
fight! but if a bone is broken ;rather than being dislocated= then the best a character can hope for isimmobiliFing it other wise they can’t use it for the rest of the fight. The damage dealt from a break
can not be recovered in a battle.

,eatingsD This isn’t ust from fists and feet! blunt weapons are included. This is the damage that thehero’s of 8,B seem to recover from %uickly.
#nergyD #nergy 8amage can be recovered as well. )ome types can’t be recovered from though.Acid and -eatJ*ire based damage is difficult for the character to recover from. The duration is half
that of normal.
A character recovers -P every rounds. This amount is e%ual to the $haracters $onstitution )core
Modifier plus the characters over all evel. )o a evel 3 character with a $on bonus of 16 would recover
/0 -P every rounds. ,e sure to keep track of the type of damage taken separately. )o if Trunks is attacksin round by a combo of punches and sword swipes you would track the damage from punches separate
from those dealt by the sword attacks.
"oing "amage 'ith 'eaponsAs a rule a characters 89 is generally good against anything! well not %uite. )lashing and Piercing
attacks are a different story. A $haracters 89 is effective at certain levels! all depending on who is
attacking them A norma gun man will find their bullets bouncing off the chest of someone like "ohan or
even Eidel ;eventually=. ,ut if $ell were flickingJthrowing bullets at them it would be a different matter! or
if someone were firing an advanced high tech weapon like a rail gun at them. ,eings with obvious superhuman strength ;including having the feat= are able to reduce the effectiveness of a characters 89 when
wielding a melee weapon. The attacker ;hero or villain= may apply their strength bonus against the
defenders 89 rating when wielding a weapon. 'f their score is e%ual to or e(ceeds the persons 89 ratingthen their 89 is effectively reduced by Jth its normal amount against the attack.
Gith ranged weapon they need to be thrown weapons for this rule to apply. "uns and such are toolow tech and lack any power to really bypass the characters 89 unless they normally do! do a lot of damage.
A tank round or missile is something that a 8,B character would have to contend with! but their speed and
8eflection ability allows them to either catch the proectile! dodge it! or survive the blast.
es damage from a missile can be blocked by a characters 8eflection. 'n all technicality it’s damageis energy based in its e(plosion. A 8eflection easily deals with this.
$haracters wielding weapons though are generally rare in 8,B as they can often be broken or taken
away rather easily. #ven e(ceptionally strong and dense weapons like Trunk’s sword! Tapion’s )word! or
even the BI)word can be broken. 'n the case of the BI)word! "ohan was using it to try and cut through thedensest metal in the entire universe. "ohan and )upreme :ai both felt that the strong was powerful enough
to cut through the metal block. They were wrong. "ohan’s strength was high! and the special nature of the
sword would have probably allowed it to cut through most any type of substance with out so much asdinging the blade! but when up against a substance who’s density or in this case it’s 89 far e(ceeded the
ma(imum possible damage "ohan could have done! the sword broke. ,asically "ohan rolled damage
normally! but since the 89 for the obect was more than double the ma(imum amount of damage "ohan
could have done! the damage is then applied to the sword instead! and it is further increased by the obectwhich gets to do an additional amount of damage to the weapon e%ual to J4th its 89 rating.
Thus with "ohan he hits the black metal block as it flies at him with the sword and rolls damage! it’sof course not enough even scratch the block. The )word itself has a very high 89 rating of its own! but
coupled with the damage from "ohan )winging it! and its >resistance damage?! along with damage from it
momentum! ;having been thrown at "ohan=! the total damage done e(ceeds the BI)words own 89 ratingenough to destroy it! thus breaking the sword.

This rule need not ust apply to obects by characters as well. Trunks attacks )uper Android 3 with
his sword. )uper Andriod 3 is a monster with an e(ceptionally high 89 rating. Turnks’s own )trengthworks against him in this regard and the sword breaks.
Gith Lbects its 89 must be greater than half of the ma(imum amount of damage that the attack cando in order for the weapon to be broken. The weapon still gets to apply its 89 against the damage to
resist being broken.
Gith #nemies their 89 need first meet the Ma(imum amount of damage that can be done! second
the defender may apply their )trength bonus and $onstitution ,onus to this total amount. 'f this
e(ceeds the amount of damage by more than half the weapon takes the damage instead. The weaponstill gets to apply its 89 against the damage to resist being broken.
Chapter 9
Items &
Equipment
The items in 8,B are essentially the
same as those found in the d20 Modern
P-,. Many items have a uni%ue feature! theability to be capsuliFed to be more portable.
-owever getting a capsuliFed item is not a
cheap thing! even though they are common placed.
ou can only get certain thingscapsuliFed! some things are too small for
this process and others are too large. *or e(ample you can get a capsuliFed trunk to carry water in but you
couldn’t get a sports bottle to be capsuliFed. Eehicles and even small homes are often able t be capsuliFed.
Master 9oshi’s home is what’s known as a capsule home. At the push of a hidden button! 9oshi can turnhis small island home into a small portable form allowing him to up and move at a moments notice. Many
vehicles are put into capsule form to avoid having vehicles cluttering up places. Additionally many vehicles
come in either of 2 types! land vehicles like we have now a days! or air vehicles! which fly much like ahelicopter! but are safer.
Any items that are capsuliFed are products of $apsule $orp. $apsule $orp is the only corporationon the face of the planet capable of making capsule items ;a closely guarded secret known only to the
,rief’s family.= -owever the corporation also makes more than ust $apsule items! ;capsule items are only
produced at the companies main head%uarters by 8r. ,riefs himself.= The corporation is known for making
robots! as well as every day appliances.
Getting yor Capsli(ed ItemsThis is an easy thing to do depending on how you wish to work money in your game. 'f you’re
using the rules outlined in the d20 Modern book! then it’s a simple thing.
Storage Items

$apsule $orporation is the primary supplier of ust about everything
in 8,B short of food. Their technology is second to none! and cantake a house and turn it into small portable capsule! thus the name
$a sule $or .

)mallD )mall storage items include things the siFe of a back pack to things the siFe of a child’s toy bo(. A cooler that one would take on camping trips is one such storage item. 'tems of this siFe have
a Purchase 8$ increase of 12.
MediumD Medium storage items include things the siFe of a hope chest! or trunk! to a normal
refrigerator. The purchase 8$ for items of this siFed to be capsuliFed is 1.
argeD This is generally the limit to storage item siFe with out it becoming a structure. 'tems of this
siFe include some types of refrigerators! trailers! garbage bins! and anything that occupies an entire
/ft area or /ft by 0ft area. The Purchase 8$ for things of this siFe is 14.
Anything larger than large has a Purchase 8$ increase of 12 to the previous amount.
Strctres $ )ehicles 'n the d20 ,ook listed under >ife )tyles? in the >#%uipment? section! there is a table out lining the
Purchase 8$ for different types of housing. To get $apsuliFed versions of each of these types o
housing! go down the list and add a cumulative 1/ to the Purchase 8$ of each. )o if you want a
home the siFe of a )mall $ondo to be capsuliFed it would have an over all Purchase 8$ of 33.
Ghile if you wanted one the siFe of a arge $ondo it would have a Purchase 8$ of 0.
Most capsule homes! not to mention most homes in general in 8,B are round in shape and have
plenty of windows. Additionally anything that is put into a home that is capsuliFed remains therewhen the home is returned to its original stated. &othing is damaged or anything.
A small note. Any character with a $apsule home should have insurance for it. $apsule $orp.would obviously offer such a thing for their products. $apsules are scanned and everything in the
home is accounted for when the policy is drawn up. amcha often forgets to get insurance for
anything he gets! which intern eventually ends up getting damaged or destroyed at some point.
Eehicles are handled in the same way as structures. "enerally any vehicle that is a capsule vehicle
is an air vehicle. Although land vehicles are common! they are slowly becoming less main streame(cept to transport goods. The Purchase 8$ for vehicles is 1/ for motorcycles! and a 10 for all
cars! trucks! and water vehicles ;essentially anything classified as a >$ivilian Eehicle?=. Airvehicles automatically have the capsuliFation feature as they are produced only by $apsule $orp.Additionally all air vehicles are capable of hovering.

Air #s: Although it is not really a bus! it is a general term used to describe it. 't has seating for 4 people
including the driver! and has a large section for hauling things in as well as carrying additional passengers ifneeded. ,ulma uses this to carry the BI*ighters around in at times! specifically during the Android saga and
the 'mperfect $ell saga.
/et #i0e: This is a flying motorcycle. 't has incredible acceleration and handling. These are often used in
races and are popular amongst younger people.
/et1Copter: This is designed for long distance flying at high speeds. These are in fact not true helicopters! but they have a very similar body design. They are only available for use to certain individuals due to their
high speed ! and are often only available to diplomats! military! and the rich. Military versions often have
weapons mounted on the hull! plus they have better armor ;more -P=.
&ote that in 8,B! most vehicles generally have a bubble canopy and have something of a /0’sI40’s
sciIfi look to them. They look as they do for practical reasons however! mainly because of they need tohover and fly is taken into account for their design along with stability.
Technology LevelsThe world of 8,B boasts advanced technology not seen on our world. This does not mean that the
same level of technology e(ists on other worlds. 'n some cases! technology is unheard of! while in others it
is incredibly advanced. A cultures level of technology plays a part for characters who craft items.
Technology levels are not governed to an entire planet! but can be. 'n some cases one region of a planet isnot as advanced as another. And ' yet other cases only certain groups or organiFations have access to high
levels of Technology. Technology levels of areas or planets in general provide an adustment to any craft or
repair checks made by a character.
-owever in some cases it provides a penalty. This is all in relation to the level of technology that
the character is used to dealing with. ,ulma is used to being around all of the advanced technology that
$apsule $orp has. As such her Tech evel is advanced because of this. Ghen she comes into contact with*rieFa’s technology! she is able to adapt to it %uickly enough since it’s at a level e%ual to $apsule $orps! but
since its alien technology she has a hard time figuring things out.
#arth of this setting has advanced technology. *rieFa’s organiFation has advanced technology as
well. &amek has no technology+ however they are still very advanced in their technology which is organic
in nature. The chart below out lines the bonuses and penalties for encountering technology below onesabilities or above them. Alien technology automatically provides a I2 penalty to dealing with it.

A person’s Tech evel is based upon the characters :nowledge ;Technology= skill’s total bonus! or
the level of technology of a planet. The chart below should help you with this. Although this does not

mean that the person’s level of understanding of technology is on par with everyone else’s. Thus when a
character’s tech level is not at a level with that of what’s on the planet they are udged upon theirunderstanding of that technology in comparison to everyone else. -ere is an e(ampleD ,ulma’s Tech level
is Advanced. -er level of understanding is beyond that of most normal beings+ however her tech level is
right even with the level of technology of the planet.
"ohan is an e(ceptionally bright person! however his understanding of technology is not on par with
,ulma’s! his tech level is ow. #arth is a -igh Technology planet! with diverse spacing of level of
technology based upon the region. *or "ohan’s region of the planet! it is a Eery ow Tech region! so hisunderstanding is above that! but below that of the planets level. "ohan’s understanding of the planet’s
technology is average for most people.

8etermining a persons level of understanding is simple. Take the planets over all tech level and see
where the person’s personal tech level falls. The number of spaces between the two determines the
adustments made. 'f there are no spaced between them then the characters personal tech level determinestheir level of understanding. ,ut every space between their personal tech level and the planets over all tech
level! if it’s greater than the persons! provides a penalty. -ere is another e(ample for you. Ghen "oku was
a kid he had no understanding of technology! he had no tech level! his understanding was moronic. ;A TE
bewildered him.= -owever with time! "oku’s understanding of technology grew. "oku’s tech leveleventually gets to Eery ow! even though the planet is -igh. There is space between "oku’s tech level
and the planets tech level. "oku’s understanding of technology is still moronic! as the space lowers hisunderstanding by .
The levels of understanding is not necessarily a bad thing so much as it shows how well you
understand technology in general. Almost everyone in the 8,B universe has the :nowledge ;Technology=skill! and it can be used untrained! and they all have at least I/ ranks in it. This skill plays a big part in
understanding all of the technology around them. $haracters like ,ulma! Eegeta! Trunks! and "ohan tend
to have a better than average understanding of the planets technology.
And if this is way to complicated for you! then ust cut out the rule from your game. ' add it only to
try and help you to show diversity of technology in your games! which 8,B tends to sport.
Advanced $ Alien TechnologyAt some point in time your going to want to throw out *rieFa and his goons! or villains no par with
*rieFa’s organiFation. The items listed below are ment to be used by *rieFa and his thugs! however this
does not mean that the characters can not get their hands on the e%uipment themselves or have someone intheir group make e%uivalents of them. ,ulma eventually does this with the *rieFain body armor that Eegeta
sports on a regular basis. 'n addition to this there are the various other little pieces of e%uipment that the
5
7/21/2019 Dragonball Z D20 Modern
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dragonball-z-d20-modern 87/142
characters have! like "oku’s gravity training space ship! the dragon radar! ,ulma’s interstellar

&ote that ' will also provide info as to the $raft )kill’s associated with the item. ' will try to cover
as many technological items and vehicles as ' can! but don’t get angry ust because ' don’t cover on in particular.
ScoterThe )couter is an item that is common to
everyone in *rieFa’s organiFation. This allows anyoneusing it to scan the surface power level of anyone that can
bee seen through its eye piece. The scouter is a smallitem that fits over the left ear! and has a lens that coversthe left eye. 't has a single button on its side which
allows it to save scanned power levels of individuals! as
well as track their whereabouts. The scouter essentially
provides its user with the )ense Power skill! with 0ranks in it ;can be more if desired! but never greater than
20 ranks=. -owever it is easily fooled by a -ide Power
check and will automatically not pick up on any hidden power. )o if a character has a power level of 5!000 and they hide their power level! reducing it to /!000 the
scouter will only pick up on the /!000 and not the rest of that hidden energy. The )couter is an #lectronic
item and re%uires a $raft ;#lectronic= check. 'ts technology level is advanced+ as such it is an advanceditem. The item is not for sale! and is issued as standard e%uipment for all of *rieFa’s men.
'rist #lasters &ot one of the more deadlier things a character
will face! these weapons are given out to all of
*rieFa’s men with very low power levels! generally
those who are unable to fly or control their energy.These weapons are often connected to scouters to help
regulate the amount of energy needed to attack with.
These weapons have an e%uivalent Power level of
about 300I/00! with a proportionate power up rating.'t fires a burst of energy! or a single beam ;its only 2

pulled! the energy fired in the attack is regulated either
by adusting controls on the weapon ;a standard
action=! or by pressing a button on the scouter if it isconnected to one ;free action=. As a full round action
the character can choose to perform a charged shot! which will deplete all of the energy in the weapon! this

weapon has an internal power supply that can recharge on its own or be put on a charger. Ln its own itregains energy at a rate e%ual to its power up per hour. Hsing a charger it regains all its energy in an hour.
These are generally worn on the right wrist allowing a person to easily use their scouter! but if worn in the

2rie(ain ArmorThis is the most basic style of body armor that *rieFa provides his forces.
There are in fact 2 types of armor available! the ,attle Armor and the *ighting<acket. The ,attle Armor provides protection to the torso! shoulders and groin. The
*ighting <acket protects the entire body. The type of armor that &apa is seenwearing is ,attle Armor! as is Eegeta initially. 8ifferent types of body suits areworn under this armor. )ome are nothing more than )peedo’s! while others are like
wetsuits and cover the torso! upper arms and legs. Then there is the full body suit.
These have not real function e(cept as being apart of the uniform. They are form
fitting and siFe will stretch to fit anyone of any siFe. ;Think of Mr. *antastic’scostume from the *antastic comics produced by Marvel comics.= The *ighting
<acket is nothing more than a vest+ however its appearance is moot do to its level of
protection.
All battle armor styles have an internal 8eflection that is always on. 'ts
handy to have when you are the subect of a sneak attack and don’t have time toraise a 8eflection of your own. ;&ote though that the armors 8eflection and the
characters 8eflection do not stack! but is still usable. ou subtract energy from one
before you go to the ne(t. 'n addition to its defenses against energy attacks! the
armor also provides a degree of protection against physical attacks. The armor doesnot encumber a person in anyway! nor does it hinder their movements! although
battle armor does to a degree. ,ulma eventually starts making *ighting <ackets for
the BI*ighters after spending some time looking over the armor that Eegeta! :rillin!and "ohan had. #ach type of armor can only take so much punish ment before it s rendered useless. #ach
armor type has its own -P rating! damage is subtracted form this first before it is taken from the character.
Ghen an armor’s -P is reduced to >0? it is useless even though the character could still be wearing most of
it. Ghen armor is essentially destroyed its 89! 8efense bonus! and 8eflection are lost. "loves and bootsare also standard issue and come in a couple of different designs.

This is one of the BIfighters favorite ways of training! particularly Piccolo! and "oku’s. Geighted
clothing is e%ual to about J/ th the characters weight ;or 60N=. "oku is first seen in 8,B wearing a total of20lbs. "oku is about /’0? to /’ ? and weighs about 6/I50lbs. The weight must be with in /lbs of
this limit. )o if "oku weights 6/lbs! and you figure that 60N of his body weight is 22./lbs. )o "oku’s
weights are well within this limit. A character must wear weighted clothing for about year religiously before they gain any real benefits. Ghile wearing the weighted clothing the character’s power level is
reduced by 3/N! and however after wearing the clothing for a year the character’s other stats are normal.
-owever before that a character’s speed is reduced by K! and their )trength C 8e(terity is reduced by .
After year of wearing this heavy clothing! the character’s stats increase by slightly when it is
removed. The character’s )trength! and 8e(terity increase by 2 points! and the characters )peed increases
by 0 points. Additionally the characters power level returns to normal. Geighted clothing becomesuseless for a character once their )trength score has gone above 30! or they gain the )uper )trength
advanced feat. At which point the weight is insignificant enough that their bodies hardly notice it.
Geighted clothing on the other hand does act as a form of body armor or the character! but its not much.The character gains a 1 8efense bonus when wearing weighted clothing. Geighted $lothing is available
to be purchased! although it generally needs to be specially made for the person. 't has a Purchase 8$ of
2.
C+C+ Space Sits#ventually your characters are going to head out into space! and lets face it! anything can happen
which may have them floating in space. )o it’s a good idea that if they have a )paceship! that they should
also have )pace suits. $apsule $orp )pace )uits are the best you can get. The suits provide a person with a
near unlimited air supply ;through a o(ygen storage cell and recycling system=. They are sturdy! and ca
double for diving suits if needed. Additionally they have magnets on the feet allowing a person to walkabout on their ship or on a metallic structure with out floating away. astly! anyone who can use their
energy can still do so without fear of firing of an energy blast that ends up burning up the persons gloves.
The suit is easy to use! and does not hinder a person’s movements by much. This is much lighter anddurable than conventional space suits.

C+C+ Spaceship$apsule $orp of course has space ships. 'n the past these ships were only more advanced that the
ones we have! but after 8r. ,riefs had a chance to analyFe and study :ame’s spaceship! as well as the)aiyan’s space pods ;what was left of &apa’s and "oku’s old one=! 8r. ,riefs came up with some new
technology that become the staple for the BIfighters space ship. These space ships are capable of being
outfitted for anyone’s needs including gravity training of up to 00 times #arth’s normal gravity. Theseships often have only 2 compartments. There is the main hold which is large enough to allow a character to
move about freely in and train! although they have to be careful not to blow a hole in the wall! although theship does have a force field system! it isn’t as strong as some of the energy blasts a character might fire off.
;This force field is not e(terior and interior when increased gravity is being used. The shield essentiallygenerates a 000 point deflection.= The second area is living %uarters. This area is located beneath the main
level. ;The ship occupies /0ftJ/0ft area! and is like a giant ball with rockets on it.= The ship can easily hold
a large number of people in it although it may not reach escape velocity because of this. )peed is aredundant thing as these ships can reach new star systems in a mater of days rather than years and centuries.
These things are not for sale howeverQbeside! think about ust how e(pensive it would be to buy one of
these.

debris+ it also allows it to fly right through small asteroids with out harm to
the ship itself. The ship’s shields generate a /00 point deflection whenactive! the energy also transfers into damage dealt as well form collisions.

system. This system automatically stabiliFes the occupant’s vital signs!and slows their respiratory and circulatory functions to stop bleeding. 't then accelerates the bodies own

#ionics5 Cybernetics5 $ %obotics 'n 8,B! bionics and cybernetics often work in tandem with organics and in some cases mimic
organics perfectly. *irst things first! '’ll cover the 3 main area’s for you.
,ionicsD ,ionics are not %uite actual cybernetic enhancements. ,ionics are used to replace limbswith realistic technological versions. These are often grafted to a person’s skeletal system and boast
e%ual or greater strength than that normally found in a real limb+ that is in some cases. A personwith a ,ionic can easily move about in the world with out drawing attention to them selves.
)ometimes these limbs have hidden weapons or are outfitted to allow a person to use their energy.
'n some advanced cases! a person is artificially given the ability to wield energy similar to that of the
BI*ighters. 'n these cases the person’s body is made up of both biological material andtechnological material. Androids 6 C 5 are like this. They are both humans who have undergone
heavy bionic reconstruction. They are in fact not true Androids! but are in fact enhanced humans.
$yberneticsD $ybernetic replacements are obviously mechanical in nature and generally boast
greater strength and capabilities than a bionic replacement. They are generally attached to a person
in much the same was as bionic replacements are. 'n some cases! cybernetics’ allow a person towield levels of energy that they could not before. A person! whose body is more machine than flesh
is called a cyborg. *rieFa underwent heavy cybernetic reconstruction after getting cut in half by his
own energy disk! and after surviving the destruction of Planet &amek. 8r. "ero is also a cyborg!whoever the only thing biological in his body is his brain.
9obotD A robot is a completely technological construct. 9obots have no biological parts. 9obots
often boast incredible strength and durability. -ighly advanced models are classified as androidsdue to their resemblance ;passing or e(act= to humans or humanoids.

,ionics and $ybernetics are replacements for when a character looses a limb or section of their
body. They allow the character to live a fairly normal life or a completely normal one. -ow advanced thesethings are! is based upon the level of technology available. The level of technology essentially sets how
complicated and intricately made a cybernetic! bionic! or robotic thing is.
&o TechnologyD There are no cybernetics! bionic or robotics in this area. The best a person can hope
for is a crudely made metal hook. ,ionic’s C robotics are not possible.
Eery ow TechnologyD Gooden or plastic limbs that resemble real ones to a degree. They have
limited motion with wires and crude oints. They are held on with straps and are easily removed.They are uncomfortable as well. )trength is less than that of the original limb. ,ionic’s C robotics
are not possible.
ow TechnologyD Plastic limbs that resemble real ones. These limbs have a better range of motion
but still operate via wires. They often have a better appearance and sometimes have mechanical
hands that are able to simulate a normal hand’s actions to a degree. )trength is still less than that of
the original. )ome bionics are possible! but are limited to pacemakers! and certain other medicalimplants to help regulate a bodies functions. )mall robots are possible but are often nothing more
than toys! or are comple( enough to perform simple obs ;often radio controlled like a police robot.=
-igh TechnologyD imbs are a bit more realistic and come close to mimicking a person’s original
strength. They are capable of greater range of motion! and come very close to mimicking a normal
limbs range of motion and de(terity. ,ionics are more comple( and include some types of implantslike artificial eyes! hearts! ears and so on. They come very close to mimicking the originals
capabilities but are not perfect. 9obotics are more practical! and are used in a variety of industries!
some are small and vacuum floors! while others may be a bit more comple( and are used in themilitary for various purposes. 9obots have a limited degree of A' and can only do as they are
commanded.
Advanced TechnologyD imbs are capable of fully mimicking a the original limb in every way
including beings who are unusually strong and fast! although there are still limits to what the limb
can handle. ,ionic’s are used to mimic many of a bodies functions should the original organic one
fail for any reason ;with the e(ception of the brain=. They are often as good as the originals!although in some cases they are even better. 9obots are very comple( and have a greater range of
A'! allowing them to make comple( decisions and in some cases to mimic human emotions. 9obotsare often human like in appearance but can be e%ually very robotic like in appearance. 9oboticIcybernetics are also common. They are stronger than normal cybernetic limbs! but they are
obviously robotic in appearance.
Eery -igh TechnologyD imbs can be made to boast incredible strength and durability beyond that
of a normal limb! they also can allow a person to use energy. ,ionics are capable of mimicking
practically any of a bodies normal functions. )ome bionics can allow a person who does not knowhow to use energy to be able to mimic the ability. 9obots are very comple( and can easily pass for
human. They have better A' and can make their own decisions. They can also be made to be able to
mimic a person’s ability to use energy.
*uturistic TechnologyD #verything is incredibly high tech. TechnoIorganics are possible as is
biotechnology. $ell is an e(ample of a being made up with biotechnology! while MetaI$ooler is a being made with technoIorganics.

)mall )iFed IIIIIIIIIII The robot’s siFe is small siFed. 'ts )trength and 8e(terity are reduced by
d1 points. 't’s -P is also reduced by /0N. This also limits any weaponsthat can be carried on or in it to either medium weapon or 2 small ones.
Piloted IIIIIIIIIII The robot first must be of large siFe or bigger. The robot re%uires a pilot inorder to be operated. This is common for many military robots and heavy
lifting robots. The robot is piloted like a vehicle! only it is capable of combatusing its stats. 9obots are generally piloted like a tank! although they are a bit
simpler to operate. The pilot uses their Piloting skill for all skill checks when
in a robot.
imited Power IIIIIIIIIII The robot’s power supply is limited in some way. )ome re%uire an e(ternal
power supply via a plug! or they use fuel! or they absorb energy some how.
The robot gains something akin to a Power evel! called Power )upply. 'f
the robot is plugged into a charger it’s supply of power is unlimited! until its

degree that it still re%uires instructions to follow! other wise it will completeits task and do nothing else unless it has several tasks to complete! but once
they are all done the robot will wander around! or perform any other task it
wishes to until issued a new order. The 9obot’s 'ntelligence! Gisdom! and
$harisma )cores have a limit of 0 each. They may not e(ceed this. The
robot can not gain feats! but does get 0 skill points to put into skills that
pertain to its functionJob.
"litch IIIIIIIIIII The robot has some sort of glitch or problem that causes it to act odd on
occasions. This glitch may cause the robot to suddenly sing folk songs! or it
may cause it to go berserk. "litches are fairly unimportant in the long run!
and act to add a bit of humor or personality to a robotic character. This is "Mcontrolled thing as well. A glitch can be almost anything you want it to be!

to be very helpful! if ever. 'f you want to have a glitch for your robot! discuss
it with your "M as to what will cause the glitch and what will return things to
normal. 'f it provides a bonus or a penalty then it also must be discussed.
9obotic Appearance IIIIIIIIIII The robots appearance is still that of a machine! so much so that they can not
pass for human regardless of what they do. This can be due to abnormal siFe
of limbs! the fact that it has only >eye?! or something else. The charisma of
the 9obot is limited to 0+ its $harisma related skills are all considered to be
cross class skills. ;Lnly available for these tech levelsD Advanced Tech! Eery

$ybernetics and ,ionics again stand to enhance specific aspects of a normal human or alien
character. ,elow is a chart outlining what can be selected. 9emember that cybernetics replace missing body parts while bionic’s are enhancements upon a character’s e(isting physical capabilities. ,efore a
selection can be made a character must gain the advanced featD Hse $yberneticsJ,ionics.
3se Cybernetics6#ionicsou are able to select $ybernetic andJor ,ionic enhancements.
Prere7isite: 'n order to select $ybernetics you must be missing at least limb or a portion of your body.
Gith ,ionics you need only be alive to gain them and willing ;or unwilling in some cases= to have intricateand invasive surgery done.
#ene,it: Lnce selected you may select $ybernetics andJor ,ionics. 'f the character is capable of using
energy it can be enhanced or in some cases hindered! or impossible to use all together with out becoming a*ull $yborg. )electing this feat once allows a character to gain either cybernetic enhancements! or 2 ,ionic
ones! or they may gain robotic trait ;from a specific list= regardless of cost. )electing a robotic trait
automatically reduced the number of ,ionics a character can have! although $ybernetics are still gain able.The number of $ybernetic enhancements is dependent upon how much damage is done to the body. A *ull
$yborg is a character who has lost more than 50N of their body. A character can be reduced to nothing but
a brain and be a full cyborg! however if they loose that last bit then it’s good by to the character.
Special: This can be selected multiple time for bionics and gaining robotic traits! each time allowing an
additional 2 bionic selections or robotic trait. A person can have no more than 5 bionic enhancements or robotic traits. This is selected only an additional time with cybernetics if the character desires a limb
capable of doing more than its original! like having a weapon built into it. Lnce a character has replaced atleast all limbs! and their torso they are considered a *ull $yborg. Their head can be replaced also! but not
the brain. A full cyborg is essentially a military grade robot! but with out any A'! but if the head is damaged
significantly then the character can die instantly! even if the damage would normally not be enough to do so.

level.
Eery ow TechD The limb’s crafted at this level are not very sophisticated and are often very
crude in how they look. The character essentially gains a hook for a hand! or a peg leg. 'f they
are missing the entire arm! they can not get it replaced. The character can only >grasp’ large
obects with their hook! and they are at a I4 to any attempts made to do so. This is on top of any
other penalties that they may have.
ow TechD )trength andJor de(terity are restored by at least I2 points from what they werereduced by with the loss of the limb. ;0N restoration of mobility.= The limb entire limb can be
replaced now with one that moves via wires and responds to certain muscle movements. -ands
can be claws or semiIrealistic looking hands! feet and legs are the same in some ways althoughthey are not good for running or moving %uickly with. The person however still has no tactile
sensations! and is at a I to any actions performed with the limb! on top of any penalties they
currently have. The character is capable of writing with the replacement! but does not have fine
motor control with it and can not perform comple( andJor delicate activities! such as disarming
a bomb! or repairing a computer.
-igh TechD These replacement limbs are more mechanical in nature and restores a characters
)trength andJor 8e(terity by at least points ;a /0N restoration of mobility=. The character can
return to some semblance of a life they once had. -ands open and close like a normal one! and
legs are more dependable allowing a person to move %uickly and even run with them. The
character still does not have any tactile sensations in the limb! although they are at only a I2 to
performing intricate activities and actions.
Advanced TechD The character’s ability scores are fully restored and they are capable of acting
as how they once did before they lost the limb. They suffer no penalties to actions either. Thecharacter also has some tactile sensations restored! but they are dull! and not what they once
were. To this end a character will know if someone is touching them or if they have been hit in
the limb! but not how hard nor will they register any pain form a hit to the limb. $haracters
with e(ceptionally high ability scores ;301= still retain a penalty and reduced ability score!
;)trength andJor 8e(terity are restored by 4 points! 6/N restoration of original mobility! they
still suffer a I2 to performing intricate activities and actions.=
Eery -igh TechD The character’s ability to use their cybernetic limb is above what they could
normally do. The character is slightly stronger or faster than they once were ;12 to )trength
andJor 8e(terity. 1/ to the character’s speed as well if it’s a leg. Additionally if the character
had an e(ceptionally high ability score ;301= it is fully restored as well now. Tactile sensation
is all but fully restored although pain is still not felt in the same way it once was! that is they
don’t feel pain but will know discomfort if a cybernetic limb is hacked off or pierced.
*uturistic TechD The character’s limb can be replaced with a completely organic one ;a
cloneJgenetically engineered replacement=. This perfectly mimics the original limb. TechnoIorganic replacements are possible as well. 'f these ones are cut off they need only be held to the
stump for a round and they will be reattached. They regenerate any damage dealt to them ; per
round to that limb only=! and are e(actly like a normal organic limb! but do boast greater
)trength andJor 8e(terity ;1 regardless of already having a high ability score! 10 to speed if a
leg.=
Torso Ghen a character’s torso has to be replaced their arms and legs are automatically replaced as well!
however this is only ' severe cases. 't is possible for a torso to be damaged! and gain some minor repairs
to it. )uch a thing would include artificial rib cage! plates and possibly replacement of a person’s entire
digestive system or respiratory system. $ybernetic enhancements to the torso are automatically
categoriFed as Advanced Technology andJor greater than this. There are different levels of severity for
the TorsoD
MinorD This would involve heavy reconstruction of bone work with metal plates! or
replacements! some organs are removed as well and replaced with highly efficient artificialones. ;These replacements all work like the originals! and provide a 1 bonus to *ort saves.=
The character also gains a 89 of 2.
MaorD Maor replacements involve replacing the bones making up the torso with a metal
casing! many organs are also replaced! most systems are replaced! like the entire digestive
system ;which is more efficient now and cuts down on wasted nutrients.= ;These replacementsall work like the originals! possibly better! and provide a 12 bonus to *ort saves.= The character
also gains a 89 of .
)evereD This re%uires total replacement of the Torso! and due to this the arms and legs are also
replaced. The brain and head are left largely intact! but the had can pre replaced as well leaving
only the brain. The character no longer has a $onstitution score! but they do not tire! their body

re%uires energy to function! and is for any purposes a robotic body. The brain or head is all thatis left that is organic. The body can appear more machine or can appear as how it once did
;covered in synthetic flesh=. 'f attacked and a critical hit is rolled! the attacker can choose to
specifically target the head. 'nstead of doing additional damage the character makes their
normal damage roll for the head. 'f this damage is greater than 0 ;including 89 reduction=
then the head is severed from the body! although the brain is not destroyed! but can be if
desired. Gith this specific case create a 9obot $haracter! but base the physical ability scores
and mental scores off that of the character’s original body! although the physical scores are
going to be higher than that of the originals. ;&ot including $onstitution.=
Geapon J
#%uipment
)ystem
This is restricted to a degree based on the tech level. The artificial limb has a built in weapon of some
sort. Geapons of Eery ow to -igh technology would have weapons that use solid round ammunition!
;a shotgun could be built into the arm! or a machine gun into a leg=. Gith these types! ammunition is
either internal or e(ternal. 'nternal ammunition re%uires hour to 30 minutes to reload! but the fact thatthe limb is a weapon is concealed ;1 to disguiseC ,luff checks=. #(ternal ammunition has a clip that
sticks out of the limb making it obvious as to what the limb actually is. Although the siFe of the clip
denotes how obvious it is or weather or not it is kept in the limb. ;The rules for loadingJreloading a
weapon apply to this type.=
&ow weapons of Advanced to *uturistic levels are energy based and work along the same principles of
the Grist ,laster! although it usually boasts a greater amount of energy or allows the person to be able to
focus their energy through it! thus allowing them to use techni%ues with that limb again. 'f they take the9obot TraitD Apply #nergy! then they can use the limb for this purpose.
&ormally a person can not channel ki through an artificial limb or item unless it is built to allow for thisto be done. )o if an adult "ohan from a future #arth gains a cybernetic arm to replace the one he lost to
Androids 6 C 5! he would have to make sure that it has the 9obot TraitD Apply #nergy! so that he can
focus his energy through it.
An alternative to ranged weapons of course is melee weapons. The tech level also applies here. Eery
ow and low tech versions have e(ternal weapons only. -owever -igh tech and up ca have weapons
that e(tend and retract into the limb. 'n some cases the weapon is nothing more than a dagger! butadvanced versions can have a long sword pop out of the back of a persons arm! it ust folds up and
retracts back in when not in use. This is also yet another "M controlled thing.
astly! ust like melee weapons! the person can instead have tools that they have in their limb. This can
allow a person to have a built in computer into an arm! and the fingers turn into different plugs so they
can hack other computer systems and so on. Again what ever your wanting is up to the "M.#nhanced ,io
)ystems
)ome of your natural body’s functions have been cyberIenhanced! in that there is a visible change in
your appearance to denote a cybernetic enhancement. ou may have a rage metal plate on one side of
your face with a glowing red eye that allows you to see in infrared! or you have this. Lr maybe you have
a metal plate grafted to your chest! on which is a vent that allows you to breath! but it also can filter outany known allergen gas! and air born to(in. )ure you’re starting to look a little like 8arth Eader! but at
least things like nerve gas can’t bother. The e(act nature and e(tent of your enhancements should be
discussed with the "M. Lptic enhancements allow for up to 2 different features to be used ;&ight
vision! 'nfrared! targeting system! etc.= Any other biological enhancements can only have I2 different
features depending on the comple(ity of what is wanted! like an &,$ filter would be a single feature.
Lnly Advanced tech levels and up can have these. #ach tech level above advanced allows for more
feature to be added as the technology used shrinks to allow for more enhancements and to be less
conspicuous
)electing $ybernetic parts is more under the control of the "M than the player. et’s say that the
player wants to make a character similar to Android 20! 8r. "ero. The "M has already decided that the
game is going to be high powered! in that characters will start with very high power levels! somewhere inthe ranges of /!000!000! and 20!000!000. Gith power levels this high! the "M decides to allow the
character to be a full cyborg who’s body was made with Eery -igh technology. The Player now sits down
and creates a military grade! Eery -igh tech robot body. The player first rolls up his ability scores as
normal! then adusts the physical scores based on his 9obotic body. -e then picks his Traits and *laws andis done. The "M decided to force his character to have the imited Power flaw. 'n this the "M decides to
have it that his energy is regulated like a humans! he can power up about /( a day! and must rest for hour
75

to regain his power up rating in energy. To this end even if he uses up all his energy! his body will still
function ;reserve power cell=! but he can not use any techni%ues. And since he is pretty much a robot hedoesn’t need to worry about enhancing his optical abilities or getting an &P$ filter put into his chest. -e
can get robotic traits now to fill in things he may have wanted like built in scanners.
,ionics are much more diverse than $ybernetics. They are internal enhancements to a person and
are generally never obvious. A bionicly enhanced arm has the person’s original arm taken and given
artificial muscles! and skeletal reIenforcement. The outer skin and bones are generally all still there.
)pecific organs can be replaced! like the heart! or a lung! with out any outward change in appearance.,elow is the list of different bionic enhancements that a person can get. )ome may re%uire constant
monitoring or maintenance! although this is generally only with low tech levels.
*ame "escription)ubIdermal Armor Available to only Advanced to *uturistic Tech levels. The person has a mesh weave of
surgical composite materials to make the persons skin denser and capable of resisting
damage. The strength of the armor is dependent upon the tech level in which it is grafted tothe person. The armor also repairs itself as the person heals from damage. The armor is not
made from any metallic alloys but is akin to taking a rhino’s hide and putting it underneath a person’s skin. Lnce in place! this can not be changed.
Advanced TechD The person gains a 89 of / and a 12 to their 8efense. -as an autoI
deflection of 00 ;automatically blocks energy attacks with /0 points of energy inthem or less=.
Eery -igh TechD The person gains a 89 of 0 and a 1 to their 8efense. -as an
autoIdeflection of 300 ;automatically blocks energy attacks with 300 points ofenergy in them or less=.
*uturistic TechD The person gains a 89 of / and a 14 to their 8efense. -as an
autoIdeflection of 400 ;automatically blocks energy attacks with 400 points of
energy in them or less=.
#nhanced )trength Available to only Advanced to *uturistic Tech levels. The person’s strength is enhanced in
some way+ this is generally through replacing muscle groups with artificial muscles which are
denser than normal ones. Additionally the skeleton has to be reIenforced with different
polymers to allow for the support of incredible weights. Lnce in place! this can not bechanged.
Advanced TechD The person gains a 89 ! and a 1 to strength. Eery -igh TechD The person gains a 89 2! and a 15 to strength.
*uturistic TechD The person gains a 89 3! and a 14 to strength.
#nhanced )peed Available to only Advanced to *uturistic Tech levels. The persons ability to move %uickly!
;running! dodging! etc= is enhanced through the application of artificial muscles. Lnce in
place! this can not be changed.
Advanced TechD The person gains a 1/ to )peed! and a 12 to 8e(terity.
Eery -igh TechD The person gains a 10 to )peed! and a 1 to 8e(terity.
*uturistic TechD The person gains a 1/ to )peed! and a 15 to 8e(terity.
#nhanced 9eactions Available to only Advanced to *uturistic Tech levels. The person is able to react with super
human %uickness allowing them to side step energy blasts and gun shots. Lnce in place! this
can not be changed.
Advanced TechD The person gains a 12 to their 9efle( saves.
Eery -igh TechD The person gains a 1 to their 9efle( saves. *uturistic TechD The person gains a 15 to their 9efle( saves.
Medical #nhancement This essentially covers getting any type of medical item that needs to be placed in the body to
govern something. )uch things include a pacemaker! artificial heartJlungJstomach. This
generally covers the replacement of specific organ or gaining something to regulate its
activities. These e(ist in tech levels ow to *uturistic. This does not include gaining a donor
organ which does not count as a ,ionic enhancement. The tech level does determine how
efficient the bionic enhancement works. This is generally something between a 12 to a 12to what ever checks may be necessary ;*ort saves=.

The tech level at which a bionic enhancement can be gained is based upon the societies tech level
andJor the person performing the operations tech level. 8r. "ero has a tech level of Eery -igh tech! as suchany thing he makes is generally going to be at this level. All of his later Androids ;3I20= are of this tech
level. )pecifically Androids 6 C 5. They are both bionicly enhanced humans. Their bionics are at very
high tech! and they have a few robotic traits as well! such as an unlimited power supply! apply energyability! and an internal scouter.
Ghen a character gains bionics it can be thing at a time or all at once! it depends on what the "M
allows. Lnce a bionic system is in place it can not be taken out and replaced! however medical bionics can be removed and replaced. The 8amage 9eduction for )ubI8ermal Armor and the one gained from
#nhanced )trength do stack. Ghen a character gains bionics the "M must come up with a tech level for the
person performing the surgery and one for the level of technology available to work with. Again since 8r."ero has a tech level of Eery -igh he also has e%uipment that is e%ually advanced since he makes
everything himself.
To this end all of the components and artificial things put into the humans that were Androids 6 C
5 are at a Eery -igh tech level. ,ut 'f he were limited in his resources! like building an android at $apsule
$orp and not his specially designed lab then the tech level of components put into his subects would bereduced to what is on hand. ;Although he could take time to enhance on these things bringing them up to
his level! but that takes a lot of time.=
&ow ' know what some of you are thinking! >Ghat about purchase checks for all this? This is nodifferent than buying computer components and the like. )imply put! if you really feel it is necessary to put
a purchase check on cybernetics! bionics and robotics! base them off of those that a Techie would make to
build a robot and go from there. Money isn’t something that is really dealt with in 8,B. Additionally thecharacters have always fallen back on rich ,ulma for any specific technological needs. Take teen "ohan’s
costume watch for e(ample. ,ulma built that thing in about hours. And it can cloth a person in a costume
based on the same materials as the )aiyan battle armors that she had made for the BI*ighters during the $ellgames.
&ow ,ulma ust gives this thing to "ohan. &o money down! now payment plan. And for somethinglike this! if she sold it! it would be worth at least as much as one of those air carsS 'n some instances it’s a
good idea to have the players have at least contact who is supremely rich and can fund an activity for
them! such as saving a friends life through cybernetic enhancing! or bionic enhancing a character to fight a
particularly nasty enemy.
And if you’re still looking for mecha things then checkout d20 Mecha for all your mecha needs.
Alternatively use the rules in ,#)M d20! and d20 Mecha to make your cybernetics and such if you do notcare too much for these rules.
;Ghile $ooler is an e(ample of a *ull $yborg! *rieFa is an e(ample of a cyberneticly enhanced
being. *rieFa’s lower torso! legs! tail! left arm and part of his face are all robotic enhancements rather thanactual cybernetic ones. This was primarily done on purpose to make him more menacing and to attempt to
increase his power level beyond his past limitations.=
CAP Cost#ach cybernetic and bionic enhancementJreplacement does cost caps. 't’s a flat 0 caps per
enhancementJreplacement ;e(cept for medical bionics=. Gith robotic enhancements it costs an additional /

$AP’s. This is also has a unusual rule in that other characters can spend their own $AP’s to gain these
enhancementsJreplacements for you. 'n this sense the $AP’s work like money.
)o if "ohan ;from Trunk’s *uture= wanted to get a $ybernetic arm he need only get the advanced
feat. ,luma then can spend her own $AP’s to construct for him a very high tech arm that would allow himto keep fighting the Androids.
Chapter 10
Advanced Games
There are times when a character is killed!or when human characters start falling to the
wayside as the )aiyan and &amekkian characters
take the fore front in power. 'n games werecharacters either start with e(tremely high power
levels or where a new P$ is going to be oining intoa group of already high powered P$’s! you’ll need
to bring them up to the same level as everyone elseor else their get killed right off the bat.
Starting
&igh Level Gith an adventure that has characters
starting at a high level you need to figure the
characters base class level and power levels. 'n
addition to this you also need to figure out howmany $AP’s they should have to gain their variousabilities.
*irst have the Players roll up their charactersas normal. "ive them a base $lass level of
/ to start.
&e(t determine an appropriate increase in
class levels. This should be based loosely
on the characters age. $hildren see only a1d3 increase in their class levels.
0
"oku and Trunks get ready to face off against $ell. Trunks
is a late comer in the game and gets to have a higher power
level than most of the other characters.
7/21/2019 Dragonball Z D20 Modern
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dragonball-z-d20-modern 104/142
Teenagers see a 1d1 increase in their class levels. Adults see a 1d412 increase in their class
levels. And then any character over the age of 30 see’s a 12d13 increase in their class levels.
After that you will need to figure out each characters power level. -ave each player determine their
character’s power level as normal. &ow have them divide their class level by 3 ;round off decimalsto the nearest whole number=. Add that number as a number of Feroes to the end of the characters
starting power level. )o if a character has an initial power level of /0! and they are level 0! they
would have a power level of /0!000.
astly there are the $AP’s. This is easy to do. Take the characters class level! and multiply it by the
number of numbers in the characters power level! then multiply that number by 2. )o if a characteris level 0 and has a power level of 30!000!000 then they would start with 20 $APs.
Lf course use any method you prefer the above are ust suggestions.
*ew &igh Level Character8eath eventually comes for all characters at least once in 8,B ;e(cept for "ohan who lucks out=.
Lr in some cases a player gets tired of their old character or maybe their old character is ust being left behind by some of the more powerful characters. 'ts times like these that a player options to have a &ew
character ump in. There are a couple of ways of doing this. 'f creating a new character! the new character should be on par with the strongest character in the
group! but not %uit at that level. *or e(ample! when Trunks was introduced he was purposely more
powerful than *rieFa due in part to his history and the fact that "oku is the most powerful character
in the group although he is not present at the moment. "oku’s ma(imum power level of 20!000!000as a )uper )aiyan. Trunks’s power level is not as high as "oku’s! but enough that he can turn )uper
)aiyan and deal with MechaI*rieFa with ease. To figure the characters increase in power level take
the most powerful character in the groups base power level and subtract /N from it. This is thenew characters starting power level. )o "oku with his base power level of 0!000!000 would mean
that Trunks would have a base power level of 5!/00!000. 't’s high enough for him to turn )uper
)aiyan! and as a )uper )aiyan he has a Power level of 6!000!000. -e easily has enough power to
deal with *rieFa and his father ;which were plot characters to introduce him and never anythingmore than that=.
Lut of game training is one way of vastly increasing a characters power level. This is something
that should always be approved of first by the "M. The "M and the player;s= sit down and decide
how much training will be done >off camera?. 'n that this is training that does not take place during
a normal game session or is ust decided upon by all to have taken place. This speeds up the gameallowing things to progress much more %uickly. The "M and players determine how much time is
pent training! how hard they train and if they train with anyone else. The "M then consults the rules
for training and gaining e(perience. After which the "M awards any earned e(perience pointsandJor $AP’s to characters. -aving weaker characters train with more powerful characters is a way
of building up a lot of e(perience %uickly for that character. "ohan is a prime e(ample of this. -e
starts with a low power level only in the upper thousands when his father returns to #arth. After histraining with him and Piccolo for 3 years! "ohan is on the verge of turning )uper )aiyan.
Lne other way! and a %uick one at that is to take the number of Fero’s that make up the main villains power level ;after the first coma= and add those to the end of the characters class level. )o if the
villain has a power level of 0!000!000 then you would add 4 Feroes to the end of the hero’s class
level. 'f the hero has a class level of ! then they have a power level of !000!000.
'ssuing $AP’s can be a bit of a problem in some cases. )o for *eats the character should start with
an additional number of feats and advanced feats e%ual to their Lver all level divided by 3. This
gives them a decent number of feats with out going to overboard.

$haracters should automatically be considered *amiliar with all of their starting techni%ues! unless

not intend on making them as ' would have to do them up as they progress through the series rather thanhow they stand at its end. Ghat ' will do is give a brief over view of some of them.
2amos 2aces)imply put everyone has a different point of view on how these characters stats should be put down.
)o '’ll leave that in the hands of the "M should they desire "oku or Eegeta to show up. All fighting
characters are considered to have 20 $lass levels with 0 of those being martial artist. $haracters like
,ulma though do not have martial artist but still have 20 class levels. Gith feats! skills and such use the
afore mentioned rules for determining how many feats and what not they would start with. This is generallygood enough.

C&IA8T;3: A small human like :rillin! he is a powerful psychic and a skilled fighter. $hiaotFu
hardly classifies as a BI*ighter although he will give his all in a fight. -e knows virtually all the same
moves as Tien. -e falls out of fighting very %uickly after being revived by the dragon balls! after *rieFa’s
first defeat by "oku. -is power level though is easily higher than Master 9oshi’s coming in somewhere in
the thousands! but still far less than that of anyone else. -e has levels in the *ast! 8edicated! and$harismatic hero classes. -is stats are similar to :rillins but a less! he does have a high 'ntelligence score
and Gisdom score which are the mainstays for his psychic powers.
A/I%8#E: -e’s much like Master 9oshi. As far as humans go he is fairly powerful with out
knowing anything about using energy techni%ues. airobe’s power level is a bit higher than 9oshi’s but he
never learns to use energy techni%ues. -e is something of a samurai and has several techni%ues revolvingaround using his sword. -is katana is e(ceptionally sharp and is very hard to break! a near e%ual to *uture
Trunks’s sword. -e has levels as a *ast and Tough hero. Advanced class wise he has a few levels as a
martial artist but has other levels as some sort of swordsman! ;if there is such a class! other wise any otherfitting class should be used=.
98%I*: The cat that lives at that top of :orin’s Tower. :orin has some levels as a *ast C 8edicated
-ero. -e also has levels as a magic user of some sort as well as levels as a martial artist. )tat wise :orin is
sort of like oolong! at least you would think that. -is stats are pretty high all around with his Gisdom beinghis highest score. :orin is the only being who knows how to grow )enFu beans. *or techni%ues his are
magical based and are essentially spells although he probably could use ki attacks as well. :orin neverreally shows if he can! but it should be assumed he can. :orin can also fly. Power evel wise his is close to
or over /00.
9A!I: The "uardian of #arth for some time up to the end of the Android saga. :ami’s levels are like
that of Piccolo’s! however stat wise he is a bit weaker than Piccolo due to age. -is wisdom however is
possibly one of the highest scores in the series. :ami has a power level well above 3!000 and he does notneed to power up! he draws out what energy he needs. :ami can also teleport using a refined version of
'nstant Transmission. :ami also can most likely use magic.
!%+ P8P8: )teward to the "uardian of the #arth! Mr. Popo is a genie. -is powers and abilities are a
mystery but he is a capable fighter when needed. -e is not bound to a lamp like a real genie so its possible
that Mr. Popo is bound to the "uardian of the #arth and is capable of passing on that power to another
should a successor not be readily on hand. )tat Gise he should be well above that of any normal human! hehas a high wisdom and charisma score. -e can most likely use magic as well as ki attacks. Power evel
wise his is possibly above /00 or ust over !000. 't’s difficult to determine this as he is something of an
enigma.
C&I C&I: At first she was a little warrior girl with a crush on "oku! later of course it turns out to be more
than ust a crush and the two are married. $hi $hi has levels as a )trong! *ast and 8edicated hero. )he also
has several levels as a martial artist. $hi $hi’s stats are all higher than that of a normal human making her aformidable fighter! her $harisma is also high as she! like ,ulma! is a very attractive woman. -er Power
evel is probably close to 300 or so. )he has knowledge of physical enhancing techni%ues but has neverlearned how to control energy so she can fly! create deflections! or shoot energy blasts.
8X 9I*G: $hi $hi’s father! he is a mountain of a man. L( :ing has levels as a )trong and Tough hero
with most of his levels in those. -e has some levels as a Martial Artist. L( :ing’s )trength and
$onstitution are beyond that of most normal humans but are not overly super human! he also has a good
$harisma score. L( :ing is considered to be arge siFed. L( :ing was trained by 9oshi and has
0/
7/21/2019 Dragonball Z D20 Modern
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dragonball-z-d20-modern 108/142
knowledge of physical fighting and enhancing techni%ues! but like $hi $hi can not use his energy beyond
that. -is power level is lower than that of $hi $hi’s. L@ :ing generally wears armor and a horned helmetinto battle along with a large battle a(.
The "ragon #all Saga<s$haracters made in this style of )aga’s will never have power levels beyond !000. "enerally the
-ighest a character should have for this level of adventure should be around 400. "ames set under thislevel of a setting are generally introductions of the characters into the world. They are often above average
human warriors or are at super human levels of power.
%A"I;T: The first powerful alien being that the BI*ighters face! he of course reveals "oku and Piccolo’s
origins. 9aditF’s stats should be like that of "oku’s only with a lower $harisma. -e has levels as a )trong
and Tough -ero. Power level wise his is at about !200. 't’s about e%ual to the combined power levels ofPiccolo and "oku.
SAIA* G&8STS: Ghen the BI*ighters were training they had to fight spectral )aiyans. These
)aiyans were less powerful than 9aditF and showed ust what the everyday )aiyan had for power. Physical
stats are generally high with low mental stats. $ertain individuals of course had more varied stats. $lasswise they generally had evels as )trong and Tough heroes. Power evel wise they had power levels below
!000! but above /00. The two that fought the BI*ighters had power levels e%ual to 3 of them addedtogether.
G%EAT 9I*G A!A: This man dwarfs L( :ing. :ing ama is sort of like )t. Peter in the realm of
the dead. -e dresses like an officer worker! as do the trolls C ogers that work for him. :ing ama’s power
level is negligible. -is strength is well above 00 and he has fairly high other stats. $lass is redundant for
him as well. :ing ama also has the power to weaken anyone who stands before him! something he does toindividuals who are particularly powerful and evil so he can keep them under control and send to hell. -e
of course is never ment to fight anyone but is assumed to be able to beat virtually anyone who stands before
him and his desk. Lut side of that it’s doubtful he could beat certain individuals.
G8; $ !E;: The two ogers in charge of caring for -ell ;or -fll=. "oF is the strong one! but not too
bright. MeF is uncannily fast and smart as well. )tat wise they are both about e%ual for each other Gith
"oF having a higher )trength! and MeF having a higher intelligence and natural speed. $lasses are notnecessary! and their Power levels are both under /00.
P%I*CESS S*A9E: )he is pretty much like a normal human woman only with an e(ceptionally high
$harisma score. )he is capable of fusing with her house on )nake Gay as well as her )nake Maidens to
turn into "iant )nake. )he can then breath fire and slither along the clouds that )nake Gays sits upon.
;<#D Anyone who falls off )nake Gay has to either fly %uickly up or else they will be pulled down
beneath the clouds to hell! which once there they can not pass back through the clouds. They have to findanother way back up.=
9I*G 9AI: Also known as &orth :ai. :ing :ai is an eccentric being who is powerful in his own right
and has e(tensive knowledge of the martial arts and okes C puns ;generally bad ones=. -is planet is small
but has uncannily high gravity. Training on his planet is like training for !000 years because of its gravitywhich is 0( that of #arths. Thus you gotta be really strong to be able to get used to the gravity there. :ing
:ai’s stats don’t matter really. -is power level is above 3!000 and he has no need to power up. :ing :ai

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dragonball-z-d20-modern 109/142
also knows how to use the )pirit ,omb as well as the :aioken attack. -e has an e(ceptionally high
Gisdom and can sense virtually anything happening in the universe.
*APA: "eneral of the entire )aiyan army! &apa looks like <esse Eentura. -e is narrow minded and often
complains if he can’t destroy anything. &apa is a )trong and Tough hero. -e has a high )trength and$onstitution score. -is 'ntelligence is e(ceptionally low below that of a common human but above that of a
dogQbut not by much. &apa is one of the most powerful )aiyans alive at the time of the )aiyan )aga and
possibly before that. Lnly a few others are more powerful. Thos included Eegeta! :ing Eegeta! and
,ardock’s team! as well as ,ardock. &apa has a Power level of around !000 when he faces the BI*ighters!his power level is easily almost triple or in some cases %uadruple that of any of the BI*ighters. Lnly
Piccolo and Tien have power levels that are about half his level. "oku’s normal power level beats &apa’s by about !000 points when he shows up.
)EGETA: Lf the remaining )aiyans! Eegeta at this time is the most powerful ;e(cluding ,roly= of the
)aiyans! that is until he meets "oku. Eegeta has levels as a )trong and *ast hero. Eegeta’s stats are almostan e%ual to "oku’s only he is smarter than "oku and his $harisma score is a bit lower. At the time they
face off for the first time Eegeta has a Power level of about 2!000. 't e(plains why "oku had to go to a
:aioken (2. Eegeta’s power umps from there throughout the &amek and *rieFa saga’s ending at a powerlevel in the millions. #ventually Eegeta hits )uper )aiyan and surpasses "oku’s power as a )uper )aiyan!
but only for a while. Eegeta only learns how to become a )uper )aiyan 2 and eventually with the aid of a
special ,yatFu ight enhancing device built by ,ulma he is able to transform into a )uper )aiyan ! bypassing )uper )aiyan 3 which he never learns to change into. -e only gets to stay as a )) for a while
before he reverts back to normal.
G8&A*: "ohan is introduced the hard way into the life of being a BI*ighter initially. -is first battle sets
his heart and he trains harder than almost anyone to become stronger. #ventually "ohan becomes one of
the most powerful of all the BI*ighters )urpassing his father and Eegeta by going )uper )aiyan 2. "ohan’s
level of power is the highest of any of the other characters for a while as he never uses *usion. "oku andEegeta are the only ones who’s power e(ceeds his. -is physical stats are all high with his de(terity being
his higher stat. -e is the smartest of all the BI*ighters having a high 'ntelligence score. -is Gisdom is also
very decent and he has a pretty high $harisma as well. -e has levels as a *ast! Tough and 8edicated hero.-is power level for a while is ust above that of :rillin’s until it eventually surpasses everyone’s for a while.
$ome Main ,uu "ohan’s power level remains the same as how it was when he defeated $ell as he was
forced to study more rather than train. After he undergoes training with the BI)word his power level morethan triples bringing him to a level of power slightly surpassing #vil Main ,uu. -e keeps up his training a
bit after this but his power level doesn’t increase by much.
The "ragon #all ;: Saiyan Saga<s
$haracters made for this level of a game never have power levels above 0!000. The only e(ceptionwould be if any of them know the :aioken. "enerally though P$’s should have power levels below /!000
and be facing main villains with power levels e%ual to their own or higher ;generally never more than 2 or 3
times higher than theirs=.
"8"8%IA: The *at pink spiky henchmen of *rieFa. Although powerful he is easily tricked and
eventually killed by Eegeta. $lass wise he has levels as a )trong! Tough! and *ast hero. -e has a
surprisingly high 8e(terity! with his other physical stats being as high as one would think. -e is not too
06
7/21/2019 Dragonball Z D20 Modern
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dragonball-z-d20-modern 110/142
bright nor is he very wise. -is mental stats are rather low. -e hasJhad a power level of around 20!000
before he was killed.
;A%#8*: The other henchmen of *ireFa he is easily more powerful than 8odoria. -e is also incredibly
fi(ated with his appearance. -e is one of the few of *rieFa’s men who can transform and knows that *rieFacan as well. Barbon’s transformation is into a Monster *orm that doubles his power level. Ghen Eegeta
first faces him his power level is at about 30!000! high enough that Eegeta is able to give him a run for his
money and could even beat him. ,ut when he goes into his Monster form his power level doubles.
#ventually Eegeta is able to surpass the power of his Monster form and kill Barbon after learning about*rieFa’s trump card. -e has levels as a )trong! *ast! $harismatic -ero. -e has high decent physical stats as
well as decent mental stats with his charisma being very high in his normal form. Ghen he turns into amonster his physical stats double! as does his power level! however his charisma is reduced by about 3Jth its
normal. -e is also more violent in this form as well.
The !onster 2ormThis is a transformation open for nonIhuman characters or humanoids.
Prere7isite: Must be a nonIhuman character or humanoid. )aiyans! and &amekkians are not allowed to
select this. Power evelD 20!000 needed.
#ene,it: The character is able to transform into a monster like form. Ghat this looks like is sort of
dependent upon how the character normally looks. Lften it is the opposite of what the character really looks
like to a degree or is an even more grotes%ue version of themselves! but ultimately the monster appearanceis up to the character. Power level is multiplied by 2! and Physical stats increase by points. )peed is also
increased by 20 points. The downside to this power is that it comes at a cost in $harisma. The characters
$harisma score is reduced by 3Jth when in the monster form. This monster form need not by ugly! but caninstead be frightening. *or purposes of skills though the reduced $harisma score does not affect skill use! it
mainly affects interaction with others often inciting revulsion or fear.
Special: This can only be selected once.
G3L"8: The weakest of the "inyu *orce! he is still %uite useful. -e is however weaker than "ohan and
:rillin on a one on one confrontation! and when he faced them he had to face both of them. -e has levels as
a Tough! and 8edicated hero! although his class levels are rather low. -is physical stats are surprisinglyhigh ! but nothing above that of "ohan or :rillin. -e has a decent 'ntelligence and a normal Gisdom! he
has a low $harisma as well. -is power level is below 0!000. -is main power comes from his ability to
slow or stop time. -owever to stop time he has to hold his breath. 't runs him 0 points per round that timeis stopped. -e has a limit on how long it can be maintained based upon how long he can hold his breath.
-e also has a variation on this where he can freeFe an opponent or opponent that he can see in place. -e has
to spend 00 points per round they are to be froFen. The target remains froFen e(actly where they were!even if they were in the air. -e can use other power and techni%ues while using these powers. -is main
problem though is that he is a coward when facing someone more powerful than him. Targets froFen with
his second power get to make a Gill )ave against a 8$ e%ual his will save bonus! plus half his class level!
plus 0.
%EC88!E: -e is the uggernaut of the "inyu *orce. 9ecoome a very strong and fast and he is also
smart! but not too smart. -is )trength is very high! higher than that of Eegeta’s! greater than Piccolo’s. -is8e( and $on scores are decently high. -is mental stats are at about normal levels. -is speed is also
unusually high. -e has a power level above 40!000. -e has levels as a )trong and Tough hero. 9ecoome
meets his defeat at the hands of the vastly more powerful "oku! but is killed by Eegeta.
#3%TE%: As 9ecoome is the strongman! ,urter is the speedster. -is physical stats are high! and his
mental stats are decent with his $harisma being nothing above an . -is speed is incredibly high! we’re
05

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dragonball-z-d20-modern 111/142
talking 001 normally with out the use of *light to move at mach speeds! although he uses that as well. -is
Power level is a bit higher than 9ecoome’s as well. -e and <eice are friends and have a couple oftechni%ues that they use together. ike 9ecoome he is beaten by "oku! but killed by Eegeta.
/EICE: <eice is kind of the all in one guy. -is physical stats are fairly high! and his mental stats are
decent as well! he also has a high $harisma. -is power level is above that of 9ecoome but a bit less than
that of ,urter. $lass wise he has levels as a *ast and $harismatic hero. <eice is killed eventually by Eegeta.
CAPTAI* GI*3: "inyu is the leader of the "inyu force and is of course the most powerful of the
group! that is until he faces off against "oku and has a mental break down. "inyu proves to be a chalange
for "oku in only one respect+ he can switch bodies with anyone he fights. -e damaged his real body andswapped with "oku leaving "oku’s spirit and mind in his damaged body and he in "oku’s the only down
side to "inyu’s power is that he has to relearn how to use that persons energy! in that he has to learn how to
really power up! other wise he can only do a few things like flying and use physical abilities. "inyu has
levels as a )trong and Tough hero. -is stats are fairly high! almost akin to "oku’s. -is mental stats aredecently high as one would e(pect of a leader. -is power level is only at 30!000 that’s 30!000 less than
"oku’s. $hanging ,odies re%uires only an e(penditure of !000 points of energy! and he has the make a
roll to hit with his attack like as if he were firing an energy blast. -is opponent though suffers a I to anyrefle( saves and such to get out of the way. They also suffer a I5 to any checks to notice that this is not a
normal energy blast! if they have seen it used before they do not suffer this problem. "inyu can use this
power in any body! but it has a verbal component to its use as it is partially magical in nature as the targetgets no defense against it. 'f he gets stuck in a body where he is unable to speak he can not sue the power.
This happens when he gets stuck in a frogs body! once there he was trapped until ,ulma used a device on
him to allow him to talk again. -e then gets trapped back in the same frog body after taking over ,ulma’s body. "inyu’s voice also follows him into what ever body he possess.
PosingThis is an option for ,luff $hecks. 'ts ment to lull and opponent into a false sense of security! which
it does. Hsing this option is a full round action! and the person makes a ,luff check. This check is againstthe targets Gisdom score 10. 'f using on a large group! add up all of their Gisdom scores and divide by
the number of people that are viewing it.! then add 0 to it. )o if "ohan as the "reat )aiyaman has 6
enemies watching him! as well as a doFen cops and Eidel! you would add up the wisdom scores for all there.)o if the bad guys had a general Gisdom )core of ! Eidel has a Gisdom of 4! and the cops a general
score of 3. All together we got a number of 24+ now we divide that by 2 ;round off result=+ this gives
"ohan a ,luff check 8$ of 20. )o what happens. 'f the check is made "ohan gets to make a singlesurprise action against his enemies. Ghile the person can pose as much as they like the benefit from doing
so can generally only be done once against a group of opponents that initially see it. 't can be tried again
against the same group! but the 8$ goes up by / points each time its tried as they catch on to the trick.
*AIL: The powerful &amekkian warrior who looks very much like Piccolo! only nicer. &ails stats are
pretty much e(actly like Piccolo’s although he should he a bit wiser and smarter. -is levels should also be
the same. The only difference between the two is their Power evel. &ail has a Power evel of 00!000+almost an e%ual to *rieFa’s first form.
"E*"E: The &amekkian child who becomes on of "ohan’s friends and eventually "uardian of the #arth.
8ende’s stats are like that of an ordinary human! however e has high mental stats! his Gisdom is his highest.
$lass wise he has levels as a 8edicated C $harismatic hero with advanced class levels in some healer type
of class. 8ende’s power level is high enough to allow him to fly when he is initially met! after "uru

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dragonball-z-d20-modern 112/142
awakened 8ende’s hidden potential he also passed on some of his own power. 8ende’s power level then
<umped to 0!000. -is power level increases with time from there although there is no real mention on usthow high it gets come the end of 8,"T.
G3%3: The #ldest of all &ameks. "uru is a massive &amek who was reaching the end of his life to begin
with. *rieFa’s rampage ended up killing "uru! breaking his heart. -e was later resurrected because he did
not die naturally! he then died sometime after *rieFa was defeated. )tats and levels don’t really matter with
him. -e is incredibly smart and wise! he can heal inuries and unlock the hidden potential of anyone who he
senses it in. "uru eventually passes on the remainder of his power to another &amek.
*A!E99IA* "%AG8* #ALLS: The &amekian dragon! Porunga is more powerful than the #arth
dragon )henron. A person can be resurrected any number of times! and it can grant 3 wishes! but with
resurrections it can only restore to life person per wish. The wishes need to be made in the &amekkian
language as does the summoning chant. The first wish made with Porunga restored Piccolo to life! and
subse%uently :ami and the #arth dragon balls. The ne(t wish brought Piccolo to &amek. The #arth dragon balls were used to summon )henron who resurrected everyone that *rieFa and his men killed! e(cept those
killed by Eegeta. The last wish with Porunga teleported every living thing on &amek to #arth! e(cept the
new )) "oku and *rieFa. These dragon balls are usable again about every 50 days as the planet &ameksyears are shorter than those on #arth.
2%IE;A: *rieFa is the first true monster "oku has to face! it teaches him a lesson that with some
opponents his kind heart is a burden. *rieFa’s physical stats are all above 2/! his mental stats are all fairly
decent as well. -e has levels as a )trong and *ast hero. 'n his normal form or his st form if you will he has
a power level of /00!000. *rieFa has a total of forms including his normal form. #ach form increase the power level of the previous form. *orm 2 increase it by (2+ *orm 3 increases it by (3+ *orm is (. )o
*ireFa’s second form has a Power evel of !000!000. The third has a Power evel of 3!000!000+ and his
forth form has a Power evel of 2!000!000. -is physical stats increase by 3 points with each
transformation.
The "ragon #all ;: *ame0 to 2rie(a Saga<s
*or games in these style of settings the characters should have power levels starting off at close to or
over 0!000 and should reach into the hundred thousands or the millions by its end.
GA%LIC /%+: The #vil little tyrant who is immortal. -e is capable of opening a dimensional rift to a
place called the 8ead Bone. -e was fought once before by Piccolo and "oku. 'f too "ohan’s incredible
power and rage to defeat him then. 't again took "ohan to defeat him the second time. "arlic’s normal
form is a small child siFed form that shouldn’t fool anyone. -is physical stats are like that of a human adult
in e(cellent physical shape! his mental stats are decently high. -owever when he transforms ;Monster*orm=! his siFe easily increases to that of a arge siFed uggernaut. -is physical stats of course all increase
because of this. "arlic had a Power evel of about /20!000 in his normal form. Ghen he transforms that
doubles. -is power level is also augmented by the power of a very particular star that is easily visible in thesky! it comes around ever few hundred years or so and increases the powers of evil beings. This increase’s
an evil beings power by about 0( their normal. Ghen destroyed! the power that "arlic had been using to
hold open the 8ead Bone was lost and he was sucked in again.

As an immortal "arlic <r. will never age from the point he made the wish. -e also can never truly be killed.
Any inury dealt to his body will be healed immediately on his ne(t round. 't possible that even obliteratinghis body will not truly kill him as he will still some how regenerate. Additionally the he regains his energy
faster than normal. &ormally a character recovers energy to their power level as a rate e%ual to the power
up per hour. 'nstead the $haracter regains their power up to their power level every rounds.
The "ead ;one Portalou are capable of opening a portal to a dark dimension known as the 8ead Bone! it is almost impossible to
escape from this realm.Prere7isite: Must be #vil+ must have a Power evel greater than /0.
#ene,it: The character can open a portal to the 8ead Bone. The Portal’s )trength is e%ual to the creatorsGisdom )core times /0. The person must spend 00 points f energy every round they wish to maintain the
portal. The Portals )trength comes in its ability to suck in almost anything. The $reator is unaffected by
this pull as long as they maintain the portal each round! which counts as a single action! and they can not
move from their place in front of the portal. #very 0 points in its e%uivalent power level essentially givesit point to its )trength )core! which it starts with a base of 0. )o if "arlic <r. has a Gisdom score of 5
then the portal will have a Power evel of 700! and its strength would be 70 ;and considered to be that of
"argantuan siFed=. Persons and things can resist being pulled in by making strength checks against its)trength )core! 1 ;for being considered "argantuan )iFed=. They can also use *light to further enhance
their chances! reducing the portals strength by 0 points for every level of flight speed used. Alternativelythey can create a ,arrier to easily resist it. The portal pulls on everything and anything each round. Lbectsmove toward it at a 30ft per round. 9esisting its pull allows the person to move about fairly normally! but
they must pay energy each round to maintain their flight if they are using it ;normally it’s only once per
hour=. #ven if a Person makes their )trength check they will still be pulled at least /ft toward it each
round! if they fail they are pulled 30ft toward if that round.
Special: A person who has been trapped inside the 8ead Bone can still escape. They need to either be able
to teleport with 'nstant Transmission! or they must be able to e(pend at least 20!000 points of energy at
once. Time still passes in the 8ead Bone an people can age. The 8ead Bone itself is a black void whereyou can see anything that was sucked into it. A person can still breath and such ! but they essentially float
around. *lying is the only way to really be able to get around. A person will generally die from starvation
first than from old age.
T3%LES: A lower class )aiyan warrior who looks like "oku and ,ardock. Turles is a )aiyan who
survived the destruction of planet Eegeta along with his group of warriors under his command. The brokeaway from *rieFa and his men in pursuit of planets suitable for planting seeds for a special energy sapping
tree called the Tree of Might. 't grows e(tremely huge after a few seconds of the seeds being placed into the
ground. 't takes it only a few hours to absorb all the energy of a planet. 't then produces fruit which when

comrades. -e had evels as a )trong and Tough -ero. A single bite from a fruit from the tree of might will
restore e%uivalent amount of Power Hp to the persons Power evel ;as if hour had passed=. #ating an
entire piece of fruit will restor all of the persons power level. #ating an additional piece of fruit will for 3d4weeks! increase the persons Power evel by d4(00 points. "oku defeated Turles by absorbing all of the
energy from the tree of might to form a )pirit ,omb powerful enough to destroy Turles.

help as Piccolo passed on some of his remaining energy ;which was a lot= to "oku who use the :aioken to
vastly increase his own power level to levels close to / million.
The "ragon #all ;: The !oviesThe movies do not overtly follow the series. "enerally the movies take place in their own separate
time line! although some things from the series do happen! only they are resolved in different ways. "okufor e(ample beats *rieFa early on &amek before the planet blows up! he has time to escape the planet and
return to earth. -e still makes a stop and learns the 'nstant Transmission. There is never any really set
record on how and when things happen. Adventures along these lines are generally stand along adventuresthat don’t have to follow any real set history! but can pull from it.
!EC&A 2%IE;A: )urprisingly *rieFa survives the destruction of &amek! only barely. -e has lost
over 4/N of his body because of it. -is stats are the same! only he now has a slightly higher power level
because of the cybernetic upgrades. -is Power evel originally was 2 million+ it is now at 2./ million.
*rieFa meets his final end at the hands of *uture Trunks who first cuts him in half then dices him up in a
fraction of a second! then he obliterates his remains for good measure.
9I*G C8L": *rieFa C $oolers father! he is only shown in the form 2 stage of transformation. -is stats
are like that of *rieFa’s only he is a bit stronger and wiser. -e has a Power evel of about 3 million and iskilled with ust 2 energy blasts from Trunks.
C88LE%: The elder brother of *rieFa! he is easily the more powerful sibling. -is stats initially are again
ust like *rieFa’s in the *orm stage! only he is taller than his brother and his skins color is different.
Hnlike his brother! $ooler can transform to a final stage /. -is Power evel in his stage form was at
about million! weaker than *rieFa! but ultimately he was more powerful. $ooler could also Power Hpfaster than his brother. As and Advanced *eat $ooler’s Power Hp was determined by dividing his Power
evel by rather than by /. 't would have a Prere%uisite of having a Power level above 00!000 and a $on
of 201. $ooler was eventually destroyed by "okuQor so it had seemed.
!ETA C88LE%: &ot really cooler so much as an e(tension of his mind! the Meta $oolers were robot
versions of his *orm form! only chromed. )tats were like that of his original body only his 89 and #9
ratings were e(ceptionally high. Lnly )ingle *ull Phase attacks could pierce his defenses. Power evelwise the Meta $oolers had a Power evel e%ual to about /I20 million. -e is eventually destroyed for good
by the combined efforts of "oku and Eegeta.
23T3%E T%3*9S: Trunks is easily a fan favorite as he is a combination of Eegeta’s bad attitude and
"oku’s nice guy attitude. -e also has a sword. -is physical stats are close to that of Eegeta’s! his mental
stats are more like that of ,ulma’s. -e has levels as a )trong! *ast and Tough hero. -is power level when
first introduced is 5./ million normal and he can turn into )uper )aiyan . Trunks’s sword is made from ahigh density metal forged by his mother in the alternate future. 't is sharp enough to cut through almost
anything. )tat wise the sword does 2d5 points of damage ;slashing= and had a high 89 rating of its own;2/I30=. Trunks also can focus his energy through the weapon to make it even more deadly. This sword is
different from the one that young Trunks receives from Tapion in one of the 8,B movies! that blade is
similar to this one only it is magical.
#%8L: ,orn an incredibly powerful child with a power level of 0!000! ,roly was destined fro

incredible power! he was able to save himself and his father from planet Eegeta’s destruction. -is power
increased e(ponentially as he grew! he also slowly grew mad with his power. #ventually his father wasforced to have fashioned special restrained that would allow him to control his son’s power and destructive
nature. ,ut when "oku arrives looking for a )uper )aiyan destroying entire gala(ies! ,roly goes berserk
and his father can’t control him. ,roly proves to be an unstoppable force until "oku is able to absorb theenergies of all of his comrades! including Eegeta. "oku finishes off ,roly with a single blow that rips a
hole in ,roly causing his already unstable power to e(plode out of him. 'n his normal form ,roly’s physical
scores are e(ceptionally high! save his 8e(terity which is fairly low in comparison. -is mental stats are low
as well! although he has a decent $harisma. $lass wise he has levels as a )trong and Tough -ero. -isnormal power level was kept reduced to about 0!000 to fool Eegeta and anyone else! otherwise his power
level was at about /!/00!000 normally. As a )uper )aiyan his power umped to 3!000!000. And if that’s
not insulting enough for the BI*ighters! he’s an Advanced )uper )aiyan as well. The BIfighters averagePower evel was below 30!000!000+ generally with in / to 2/ million.
A*"%8I" =>: A tall muscular looking creations with gray skin and long black hair. Android is
physically strong but has a limited power supply! although it does recharge with time ;like a normal power
level=. -is physical stats are high with normal mental stats. $lass is )trong hero. Power level is at about
0I/ million.
A*"%8I" =?: A short purple skinned android with an odd hat and large bowtie. Although small he is
very fast. Physical stats are lower than that of Android ! but with slightly higher mental stats. $lass is*ast hero. Power evel is the same as Android .
A*"%8I" =@: A fairly strong android that has the ability to absorb certain components from Androids
C / should the be destroyed. Lnce absorbed his powers would drastically increase. -e is eventually put
down by "oku only after he absorbed all of the power from a )pirit ,omb. -is physical stats are lower than
Android ’s! but higher than Android /’s. -is mental stats are fairly decent. -is $lass is )trong and *ast
-ero. -is Power evel is at about 20 million. After Absorbing components from Androids C / ;whichhe can call to his body from virtually any range= his power level increases to include their power levels. -is
89 and #9 also increase by an e%ual amount from both Androids C /.
A*"%8I" =: A short pudgy! white skinned android. An energy absorbing model it must absorb
energy to supplement it. "oku could have beaten it if he had not contracted his heart virus at the time. 't is
easily beaten by Eegeta. -as fairly decent physical stats with a high $on. 'ts mental stats are fairly normal.'t has levels as a Tough hero. 'ts power level is only at about 0!000!000 when it faces "oku! although
"oku’s heart virus reduces his power level to about 0!000!000 and continues to reduce it %uickly there
after.
A*"%8I" B6"%+ GE%8: Much like Android 7 in design! Android 20 is in fact 8r. "ero. -e
looses an arm to Piccolo! and is eventually killed by Android 6 after he and his sister Android 5 are
activated. -is physical stats are high as he is an android! his mental stats are e%ually high! e(cept for his$harisma. -e had levels in )mart! and 8edicated hero classes! as well as levels in an advanced class
dealing with building things. -e also had a very few levels in Martial Artist. -is Power evel was only
/!000!000.
A*"%8I" =D: Lne of the Androids Trunks warned the BI*ighters about. Android 6 has to follow his
programming to kill "oku! although he would ust as soon rather have fun and enoy his freedom. -e islater absorbed by $ell advancing $ell to his ne(t stage. -e is later resurrected with the 8ragon ,alls and
given a second chance at life! he all but vanishes for many years. -is physical stats are fairly high and his

mental stats are fairly decent as well. -e has levels as a )trong and *ast hero. -is e%uivalent Power evel
was at about 30!000!000 ;infinite Power )upply=.
A*"%8I" =: Hnlike her brother! Android 5 is a bit more practical and would rather leave "oku be.
)he is not really evil and shows as much with :rillin. -er life is spared by :rillin which %uickly changesher out look on things even more. -owever she is still eventually absorbed by $ell. ater "ohan fresher
from him with a single punch. After $ell is defeated :rillin tries to wish for her to be human! but as she is
already a human! ust a cyber enhanced one like her brother! his wish was refused. 'nstead he wishes for the
bomb in her body to be removed. ater she and :rillin marry and have a kid together. Although she maynot come out and mention it all the time she really does care about :rillin and is devastated when he is
killed by Android 6 during the time of 8,"T. -er physical stats are like that of Android 6! her mentalstats are a bit different! she is a bit smarter and wiser than him and she has a high $harisma score. -er
$lasses are the same as Android 6 and her Power evel is the same as well.
A*"%8I" =F: $onsidered unstable and incomplete! he was not activated by "ero when Androids 6
and 5 were activated. 't became %uickly obvious why he was not complete. Android 4 is similar to his
predecessor Android 5. -e is %uiet and loves the planet! finding it beautiful. -e actually starts fighting
when $ell )hows up as he is unwilling to let the planet be destroyed by the creature. -e is damaged in thefight and is eventually repaired by ,ulma and her *ather at $apsule $orp. -e meets his end at the hands of
$ell in the $ell games. -is ultimate destruction though helps to trigger "ohan’s rage and force him to
transform into a )uper )aiyan 2. )tat wise he is much like Android ! only he has additional body armor.$lass wise he has levels as a )trong and Tough hero. -is e%uivalent Power evel was around 0!000!000
;infinite Power )upply=.
CELL: The monster known as $ell actually didn’t overtly care for killing "oku! actually he desired to
destroy the universe! or at least concur it. "oku of course had to be taken out of the picture as he would be
all that would stand in his path to fulfill 8r. "ero’s goal. -e is eventually killed though by "ohan who was
even inured at the time after saving Eegeta’s life. )tat wise he had physical stats e%ual to "oku’s! he alsohad high mental stats. $lass wise he had evels in )trong! *ast! Tough! )mart! and 8edicated hero classes
in addition to Martial Artist levels. -e had an initial Power evel of about 32!000!000. After absorbing
millions of humans his power level increase to about 3!000!000. After absorbing Android 6 hisunderwent a transformation. $ell’s transformations are different than that of those in the past. Ghen $ell
Absorbs either Android 6 or 5 he essentially becomes a new being. -is physical stats increase by / points
each time. -is power level only increases though by an amount e%ual to a single power up of the Android.)o after absorbing Android 6 his Power evel umps to 0!000!000+ and after absorbing 5! his Power
evel umps to 4!000!000. $ell’s absorption power allows him to use his tail to steal the essence of a
person or he can >swallow whole? a person. This will either increase his power level or it will restore lostenergy. -is own power level increases by an amount e%ual to the targets Power Hp. Hsing his tail to steel
essence allows him to slowly drain away the person! literally. The time it takes for him to drain a person is
dependent upon where he spears them with his tail. 'n the main body it takes only a minute. 'n an arm or
leg it takes several minutes. 'n Piccolo’s case though he only succeeded in draining away his arm. 'f the person has any uni%ue techni%ues! $ell will automatically learn them if he absorbs their essence. 'n the case
of many of the BI*ighters! $ell has the 8&A already apart of his body and so already knows most of their
moves. Hltimate $ell had a Power evel of 6 Million! putting him on par with "ohan who was only a bitmore powerful! but refrained from unleashing his full might up until the :amehameha power struggle! and
Eegeta provided the opening he needed to hit $ell with everything.
#8/AC9: -e was a powerful homicidal maniac who decided to come to earth to thank "ohan for what
his father did. ,oack had been imprisoned by the :ai’s centuries ago. ,ut when $ell blew up :ing :ai’s
planet! the prison that held ,oack was opened and he was let loose upon the gala(y. -e and his minions

easily proved more than apt to dealing with the BI*ighters! although *uture Trunks dealt with their swords
man. ,oack though met his match in "ohan. -e to could assume something of a transformed state thatincreased his already high power level. -owever "ohan proved to be his better going to )uper )aiyan 2 and
ending his life rather %uickly. ,oacks physical stats are high! his mental stats are about normal. -is classes
are )trong and Tough. -is normal Power evel is at 33!000!000. -is transformed state boosted his powerlevel to 7!/00!000! and increased his physical stats by 4 points. The fight took place not too long after
$ells defeat. Lriginally he has dark a%ua skin with orange hair. Transformed his skin turns a shade of
yellow and his hair turns red. "ohan holds nothing back against ,oack after being saved by his father!
unlike with $ell! "ohan badly inures him with a single punch and ends his life with a :amehameha.
!%+ SATA*6&E%C3LE: The braggart of the century. Mr. )atan takes credit for the defeat of $ell as
well as ,oack. ,ut since the BI*ighters aren’t in it for the glory they don’t overtly have that big of a
problem with it! although it does annoy the heck out of them. #ventually! because of Eidel ad "ohan’s
growing romance! Mr. )atan is brought into the fold becoming their scapegoat. Although incredibly weak!
he is however amongst normal humans a skilled martial artist! and superhumanly good at bluffing. -is physical stats are all pretty high but at normal human levels! his 'ntelligence and Gisdom are not all that
high! but his $harisma is high though. -e has levels as a )trong and $harismatic hero in addition to his
martial artist level and personality advanced class levels ;or what ever one it is for the celebrity=. -e has a power level of about 0 or so! he knows several physical techni%ues but of course knows nothing on using
energy. -is ,luff and 8iplomacy skills are always ma(ed.
The Android Saga and Cell GamesPower levels at this point should be reaching the 0!000!000 range of power or higher. "enerally
though power levels shouldn’t get as high as /0I00!000!000.
"A#8%A: The 8emon :ing! he is recruited by the evil wiFard ,abadi and empowered to become his
most powerful minions. 8abora’s spit can turn anything to stone! he can also create strong weapons to
wield in combat! and generally he creates a large wicked looking sword. 8abora is eventually slain byMain ,uu. 'ronically in the after life the king of 8emons is sent to heaven where he undergoes a massivecatharisis becoming too good of a person. -is physical stats are decently high as are his mental stats. -is
$lasses are )trong and *ast hero. -is power level isn’t much higher than "ohan’s at this point being at
about 200!000!000 ;and that "ohan as a ))2=. -e could easily be beaten by "oku andJor Eegeta though!that’s as ))2’s.
#A#A"I: The son of the wiFard that created Main ,uu. -e has knowledge of doFens of spells and can
essentially simulate any ki using power. -e has no power level and his Physical stats are negligible ;all at
about human level or lower= while his mental stats are all pretty high. -e has one particular spell that will
double the power level of anyone with evil in their hearts! but if a person has too strong of a will they can
fight it or let it affect them but shrug off ,abadi’s commands. ,abadi generally uses a powerful energyshield to protect himself. -e is eventually betrayed by Main ,uu.
2AT !A/I* #336G88" #33: Ghen Main ,uu is first introduced he is in a fat version. -e is
actually some what innocent but is prone to violent outbursts. The truth of ,uu is that this is not his true
form! but is actually a weak form. -e goes into this form after absorbing several of the old )upreme :ai’s
including the eldest of their kind. #ach absorption reduced his power but also gave him a degree of sanity!the *at ,uu is on the border of good and evil! he eventually makes a choice! choosing good and e(pelling
the evil from himself. -e becomes fast friends with Mr. )atan and ally to the BI*ighters. Ghen the group
fights ,aby Eegeta he makes the choice to permanently fuse with his reincarnated evil double! Hub! who is

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dragonball-z-d20-modern 118/142
of course now good and trained to be the earths ne(t defender. Main ,uu is actually something of a
construct. -e has the ability to regenerate his body e(ponentially! even if blown up. -e can pull of parts ofhis body and he can split himself up at will. -is physical stats are all high with his mental stats at about
normal human levelsQpossibly lower. -is power level is at about 2/0!000!000.
S3P%E!E 9AI: The highest of all :ai’s! the )upreme :ai enters the picture believed to be more
powerful than he actually! that is in comparison to "oku! Eegeta! and "ohan simply for the fact that they
can turn )uper )aiyan. -is physical stats are probably at :rillin’s level. -is mental stats are also decently
high. -e has levels as a *ast! )mart and 8edicated hero. -is power level comes in at about /0!000!000 orclose to that.
9A#IT8: Taller than )upreme :ai he is however weaker than him. -owever he is the )upreme :ai’s
bodyguard and companion. -e also can heal much like how 8ende can. :abito is never shown in combat
but it can be assumed that his physical stats and mental stats are on par with the )upreme :ai. -is classes
would be )trong! )mart and 8edicated hero. -is power level would be at about 30!000!000 or ust a bitover this.
9A#IT89AI: The fusion form of :abito and the )upreme :ai. -is power is a combination of both of
them. This form is gained when they use the :ai #arrings. The earrings make the fusion permanent though.
"A%9 !A/I* #33: This is the Main ,uu born after "ood ,uu force all the evil out of himself. -is
stats are e%ual to that of "ood ,uu. -is power level though is about 0!000!000 points higher than that of
"ood ,uu.
E)IL !A/I* #33: ,orn after 8ark ,uu eats "ood ,uu. -is stats are the same but his Power evel
umps to 300!000!000.
G8TE*: The second son of "oku! he was conceived after "oku was a )uper )aiyan. 't can be assumed
that the power level of parents helps dictate the power level of the child some times. As a )uper )aiyan this
is possibly even more so. "oten of course was born! like "ohan! with a very high power levelQactuallymuch! much higher than "ohan’s. At a younger age than "ohan was! "oten turned )uper )aiyan. "oten is
only about 4I6 years old by the time he participates in the Tournament. -is physical stats are decently high
although his Mental )tats are like that of his fathers. -is Power level comes in at about 25!000!000. $ome
8,"T his power level hits well into the 00!000!000’s.
T%3*9S: &ot to be confused with his alternate future counter part. Trunks is a year older than "oten
although their stats are the same e(cept for their 'ntelligence! which Trunk’s is higher. -is $lass levels are)trong! *ast and )mart. -is Power level is about 27!000!000. $ome 8,"T his power level hits well into
the 00!000!000’s.
G8TE*9S: The *usion form of "oten and Trunks. ,ut when )aiyans fuse their natural arrogance isvastly heightened. "otenks easily proves this. Although he has the combined powers of "oten and Trunks
he is still no match for Main ,uu. After training in the room of )pirit and Time! "otenks has a final powerlevel of around /0!000!000. that coupled with the ability to Turn )uper )aiyan C 3 he proves to be a
match for ,uu! but turning )uper )aiyan 3 speeds up the time he can remain fused.
23SI8* #33: )uper Main ,uu is born after Absorbing both Piccolo and "otenks. -owever his level
of power is a bit short lived. -is battle with )uper "ohan advances the fusion split time of "otenks which
intern drops his power level after they split as they go completely too normal. Gith them his Power evel

increased to about 400!000!000. After the split it dropped down about 00!000!000+ still a bit more than
"ohan can handle! but not by much.
S3PE% #33: The ,uu born from absorbing )uper "ohan. -is Power evel reaches an impressive high
of about 420!000!000
)EGGET8: ,orn when "oku and Eegeta used the :ai #arrings to permanently fuse together. They
become ust as arrogant as "otenks but easily more powerful than )uper ,uu. -is power level hits a high ofabout 440!000!000.
9I" #33: ,orn after "oku and Eegeta freed all those who were absorbed by ,uu! including "ood ,uu
who was left inside of )uper ,uu. This action unwittingly reverts Main ,uu to his original form and level
of power. -e becomes too violent and destructive+ it’s the reason why ,ibidi always sealed him up every
time he started to grow too violent. -is physical stats are still the same! but his intelligence has dropped! hiswisdom though remains constant. -is power level hits its ma( at about 4/0!000!000. 't takes a combined
effort from "oku! Eegeta! "ood ,uu ;who’s power level increased a bit=! and Mr. )atan. "oku had to
create a )uper )pirit ,omb to take ,uu down. -e called on the power from all beings from the restored
#arth! as well as the entire universe. -e the turned )uper )aiyan and pushed the power in it even furtherallowing him to obliterate ,uu! although he openly hoped that ,uu would be given a second chance at life
so that they could fight again! this time with out him trying to destroy the planet. -e is reborn not too long
after his death.
33#: The reincarnation of :id ,uu. -e is from a poor village in desperate need of the reward money
from the Gorld Martial Arts Tournament. ,ut he ends up having to fight "oku. Although highly skilled hehas no idea how to control his power and only is able to tap into it innately when he is angery. "oku draws
out the youths temper and learns the truth. After apologiFing for his actions he offers the youth a chance to
train and become the planets ne(t protector. Hubs physical stats are like that of how he was as :id ,uu! buthis Mental stats are all at normal human levels. -is classes are *ast! and Tough heroes. -is power level at
this point is only in the 300!000!000’s. After training with "oku it doubles. And later in the 8,"T he
fuses permanently with Main ,uu to increase his power level to over /00!000!000 and he gained all of,uu’s powers and knowledge of magic spells.
The !ain # Saga"ames that take place during this style of setting should have power levels well into the
00!000!000’s. There should be little limit on how many transformation stages the P$’s have.
#A#: The last of the Tuffles! ,aby is a technoIorganic being with the power to possess bodies and
supplement his will over theirs. Ln his own his power level only reaches to about 200!000!000. ,ut when
he takes over the body of another he makes use of their power level in addition to his own. Also when heleaves the body of one person for another he leaves a seed in that person. This seed essentially makes them
completely loyal ;blind loyalty= to ,aby and they think that they are Tuffles as well.
#A# )EGETA: After possessing the body of Eegeta! the Prince of the )aiyans! ,aby becomes one of
the most powerful being in e(istence! that is until "oku ascended to )uper )aiyan . 'n the end he is forcedfrom Eegeta’s body and attempted to flee! but "oku ended up hitting him with an Hltimate :amehameha
that sent him into the sun were he burned away. -is physical stats in his normal form were decently high as
were his mental stats. -is $lass levels were Tough and 8edicated. -is power level was e%ual to that of

Eegeta’s as well as that of his own. After absorbing power from "oten! Trunks! and "ohan his power
increased by an additional 00!000!000 points. 'n the end he had a power level of about /40!000!000.
S3PE% A*"%8I" =D: -e is created when 8r. "ero and 8r. Gelow put their heads together and build
a second Android 6! who was more synthetic than his counter part. The two permanently fuse to form)uper Android 6. Hnlike the normal 6 he could also absorb energy to boost the power at his disposal! this
was in addition to having the near infinite power supply of 2 androids. Physically he is like that of Android
6! as well as mentally and with his $lasses. -is e%uivalent Power evel though hits a high of 600!000!000!
but it increases even more as he absorbs energy. -e is eventually killed by "oku who made use to the oneweakness in )uper Android 6 energy absorbing design+ he had to hold a particular pose in order to have it
work. 'n a sense though the original Android 6 had been helping in his won defeat.
T&E "A%9 "%AG8*S: #ach of the 6 dragon balls had a uni%ue dragon to them. #ach had their
own uni%ue powers and so on. Their power levels were relatively low for the first dragons! with their
levels being at under /00!000!000! and even lower in some cases. The other dragons were the problem.*ire )hen 9on had a Power level of around 600!000!000+ 'ce )hen 9on had a Power evel of around the
same. )in )hen 9on though had a power level of about 500!000!000. After Absorbing the 8ragon ,alls of
the other dragons )in becomes Lmega and his power level umped to around an astounding 700!000!000.
SS> G8GETA: The *usion form of "oku and Eegeta using the *usion 8ance. -e is the most powerful
being in all e(istence! even the Lmega )hen 9on is given pause to fight against him! but "oku and Eegetasplit as they underestimated the time limit! not realiFing that being at that level of power would reduce their
time as "ogeta. As a fused )uper )aiyan they had a power level of well over billion.
The "ragon #all GT Saga<s"ames that take place during these sagas have astronomically high power levels. The average power
level is over /00!000!000 or close to that. "ames set at this level are at their end. ou can go on but there
is really no point. The P$’s can generally blow up the known universe ten times over and still have powerto spare to blow up the ne(t universe.
