| After more than a few years of gaming ... I've finally come across my favorite system. Although it isn't a system - yet.
I've got a new product coming out through Dreamscarred Press that totally removes class from the game and essentially is an XP buy system that allows variable HD, BAB, class abilities, spellcasting, etc. I've been tinkering with it for a few years now and it is pretty stremlined.
BUT ... thanks to the new server sale I picked up Elements of Magic (revised). I've yet to actually try it in game play ... but even if it isn't a solid system I'm going to tweak it and make it solid. The nice thing is that it eliminates vancian magic AND allows any player to design any spell they want to cast.
So - basically - my all-time system that is in the works in coming out is a system that allows players to build exactly the character they want and combine it with a system that allows them to cast exactly the spells they want.
That is heaven to me.

Have you ever had an idea for a character but were frustrated by the level system? Ever wanted a character with different hit-die that the class that contains the abilities you want? Ever wish you could customize your saves to what your ability scores need rather that what classes demand? Ever wish you could shed multiclassing rules permanently? Now you can! Complete Control strips down all abilities, feats and progressions into easily read tables, using experience points as a currency to buy and advance every thing about your character, from hit dice and base attack to "class" abilities.
Additionally, Dreamscarred Press is actively supporting the product in its series of articles as well as through an FAQ thread. Drop by, check it out, and get involved!
