I had a lot of fun playing the Technomancer in d20 Modern... there were just too many loopholes in the rules, really.
We were in Sigil trying to take out a vampire when this other guy's backpack of C4 goes off early (rolled a 1) and takes out just about everybody in the party except for me because of Improved Evasion (I made my roll and didn't take a scratch).

First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar. Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick. Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned. Surviving on snared rabbits and fish, he ofte...
I love the Drow Raver Girl... but it's the Mind Flayer Priest that gives me cold chills. ;)
