This issue of Modern Dispatch, we present more Genre Templates for use in your D20 Modern campaigns. As a quick reminder, heres a run-down on what Genre Templates are and how they work: Genre Templates are plug-and-play addons that give each player access to the skills and abilities typically possessed by signicant characters within in a given genre. They are not balanced. Within a particular genre, adding a Genre Template to all signicant characters will not change them in regards to one another, however, when dealing with insignicant characters, Signicant Characters will be at an advantage. Signicant Characters are not harder to hit, they not have additional hit points... They are simply able to do the cool stuff that characters in that genre do with regularity.
When a campaign starts, simply add the Genre Template to each player and other signicant characters.

Prerequisites: Dex 15+, Str 15+, Great Cleave, Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack, BAB+11. Benet: A character may make a 5 foot step after dropping an opponent in order to Cleave another. A character with Mobile Cleave may move a total of twice their base move, though only 5 feet at a time. A character passing through a threatened square still provokes an Attack of Opportunity. As you can see, not every genre requires the detail of an entire supplement...sometimes its just fun to go with the quick-and-easy method. Grab some characters, apply a template, and play!
