[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 2573370, member: 2205"] Those are also good points. If it were up to me, I'd reprint the d20 book with OGL material like the d20 Madness and GrimNGritty Hit Points incorporated as core changes to the d20 system, which would remove some of those complaints. I also don't particularly like that the Sanity mechanic is ported without modification onto d20. There's the pretty weak excuse that by feeling different, it feels wrong, and that's a stylistic choice, but I think that's pretty weak. Bruce Baugh wrote a nice little super-cheapo pdf called d20 Madness that ports CoC/UA Sanity into d20, instead of just using a BRP mechanic in a d20 game. Highly recommended, except for the fact that it's a separate document, and therefore not integrated specifically into the rulebook. Also, for my money (which was nothing; I picked up the "Beta" version when Ken Hood offered it for free on his website), GrimNGritty hit points takes away any lingering disatisfaction with levels in the genre.
