Modern 2.0: Class Preview- Tank

Tank

Description: The Tank specializes in sucking up damage. He can take hits that would fell even other combat-oriented characters and come back for more.

Class Information

The following information pertains to the Tank core class.

Hit Die: 1d12

Action Points: 6+ one-half character level, rounded down, every time the character gains a new level in this class.

Class Skills: The Tank’s class skills (and the ability for each skill) are: Athletics (Str), Crime (Int), Firearms (Dex), Leadership (Cha), Outdoorsman (Wis), Read/Write Language (None), Speak Language (None), Streetwise (Wis), Unarmed (Str) and Weapons (Str)

In addition to these skills, your Background and Hobbies will provide basic ability (4 ranks) in a number of skills and your Occupation will add additional skills to your class skill list.

Skill points at 1st level: 4 + Int. modifier (x4)

Skill points at each level: 4 + Int. modifier

Class Features

All of the following are features of the Tank core class.

Feats: As indicated on the class table at each level, you may select a number of feats from the General and Tank feat tables. You may also select any feat listed with your Occupation as an Improved Feat.

Resilience: Only characters that take their first character level in the Tank class gain this ability.

Once per encounter, you may make a Recovery saving throw (DC 15) to instantly heal an amount of non-lethal damage equal to your Tank level.

If you spend an Action Point, you can convert an amount of lethal damage equal to your Tank level into non-lethal damage.

I like what I'm seeing so far.
A little surprised that you decided to stick with hit points rather than going with the conditiion track from Saga/True 20

I like hit points.

They make adventures easier to run for me.

You don't have to worry as much about a surprise hit that takes a PC out of the action (and out of the fun) early in an adventure.
