Very cool logo.
The system sounds appealing. But why not make Perception a save?GMSkarka said:Perception as an Ability Score: Replacing skills like Spot and Listen -- instead of a skill, something that everyone has.

Tim Gray said:A middle ground for skills would be what True20 did in the original version - I think it's been changed now. Taking a skill switches it on, and it's automatically at level + 3 (plus attribute).
I suppose one of the major design issues is the tension between lightening the load and compatibility with other forms of d20.
Tim Gray said:For feats, you could probably squish it down into a quite small number of general types without losing a lot of detail, e.g. Improve Save (specify). The most common probably being a bonus in a particular kind of situation, specified when taken. Then that's easily extended to include personality traits, if you like. (I suppose you could use skill-type feats to work alongside occupations to remove the need for skills as a major element - they'd allow hobby skills etc.)
