For instance, I love the race-as-class rules from Classic-- especially from the Gazetteer series-- and pretty much everything about 4E except the class system and the encounter focus.Player's Option was the D&D that most felt like it was my D&D. A lot of the rules were questionable right out of the box and a lot of it could be easily broken in the wrong hands, but the flexibility of the Player's Option classes and proficiency systems are still unsurpassed within mainstream D&D. Those three books were like Unearthed Arcana-- either version-- Paizo's Advanced Player's Guide and ICE's Rolemaster combined.By the time 3E was released, I'd customized 2E to the point that there were dozens of classes and each race-- including humans-- had its own unique list of classes that were available to it. I cannibalized the kits from the Complete PHBR series and used the custom class rules to completely redefine the differences between the various player races.Pathfinder, likewise, is a close second in this regard but with much more robust and consistent rules. The Advanced Player's Guide brought back a level of detail and flexibility that I thought had been lost forever and the two Ultimate books have added a wealth of new options to the game. It's the best implementation of the d20 System yet, and it just keeps getting better.</blockquote>
