== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==
+
The original and definitive science-fiction roleplaying game TRAVELLER is back for the d20 System! This huge 464-page rulebook contains everything you need to enhance your current d20 System based science-fiction campaign or design your own.
−
Be who you want to be: T20 presents [[Vocation|16 character classes]], from brash Ace [[Pilot]]s to studious [[Academic]]s; from tough [[Mercenaries]] to streetwise [[Merchant]]s. Characters can develop a wide range of skills and feats, from Combat Engineering to [[Astrogation]]. They can even study the powers of the mind as a [[Psion|psionic adept]]!
 
−
 
 
−
Go where you like: Design [[world]]s and whole [[star system]]s with the system generation rules; populate them with human and alien [[societies]], [[Creature|animal life]] and natural hazards. The rules cover [[technology level]]s, social organization and the unpleasant consequences of hazards like [[vacuum]] exposure or radiation burns.
 
−
 
 
−
Meet Interesting People: Strange aliens and stranger humans are detailed as player and NPC races. Racial stats are presented, along with typical motivations and psychology for the various alien species. Aliens include the [[Vargr]], [[Hiver]]s, [[Wanderer]]s and [[K'Kree]], while the many [[human]] [[culture]]s include the [[Solomani]], [[Vilani]], [[Zhodani]] and [[Luriani]] people.
 
−
 
 
−
Fight deadly foes: The T20 combat system scales between [[starship]]s, [[vehicle]]s and personnel. Blast ships or ground targets with [[laser]]s and [[meson gun]]s; battle it out with guns, [[grenade]]s and [[hand weapon]]s. Don [[Battle Dress|powered armor]] or activate a [[nuclear damper]] for defense. T20 covers weapons ranging from crude [[club]]s to [[gauss rifle]]s and [[laser carbine]]s, and even vehicle-mounted [[fusion gun]]s.
 
−
 
 
−
Travel in style: Design, buy and operate a range of [[vehicle]]s from [[steam locomotive]]s to [[attack speeder]]s. Trade among the [[star]]s aboard a [[Subsidized Merchant]] or captain a million-ton [[dreadnaught]].
 
−
 
 
−
And there's more: The T20 system allows any style of science-fiction adventure to be created. The whole range of human (and alien) activities are covered: speculative trade, starship combat, carousing in [[starport tavern]]s… if adventurers do it, it's in here. The Traveller's handbook also contains guidance on setting up and running a T20 game, awarding experience, and tailoring the campaign to the needs of the players. It also presents an introduction to the [[Official Traveller Universe]].
