A big one in fact.
The alternate system uses the same mechanics as the
WOTC skill challenge system. I curbed much of the math imbalances in the system, and added new options. However, many of the problems with the original system are ingrained in the math model they used, there's no getting around that.
Obsidian is a brand new design. It is a simplier system, has fewer options, and is also sturdier than the other system. It can tolerate a DM just throwing a +2 here or there much easier than my other system can.
In the end its really a question of what your group wants. Ultimately my group liked Obsidian better so that's the one I support most since I get to actively playtest it.
And yet another word from our sponsors
