Add Stan!'s explanation behind the multiclassing rules from the Modern Player's Companion (The Game Mechanics)2.  Basic Classes: a. Rework the talents to be more interestingb. add class defense bonus from initial classc. add save/defense bonus from initial class (see saving throws)d. Remove x/day abilities3. Remove Advanced Classes and make abilities Talents or feats4.  Hit Pointsa.  add Star Wars Condition Track and 3e Unearthed Arcana Death and Dying (which also removes negative hit points) or b.  Remove Hit Points for True20/Mutants and Masterminds Damage Save5. Saving Throws: a. use a single progresssion for all classes with the initial class giving a bonus like D&D 4e b. Turn saves into Defenses 6. Occupations: add some more occupations7. Skills: add Unearthed Arcana Extended skill checks or 4e Skill Challenges 8. Feats: remove some of the +2 to two skll feats9. Healing Surges: add  for all characters and trigger by Action Points10.  Action Points: Make Action Points work more like Mutants and Masterminds 2e Hero Points (reroll a d20 and add 10 (if roll was 10 or less), duplicate a feat, etc.).  Characters start with one at the beginning of the adventure and get more from complications (see 6 below), GM fiat, good roleplaying/entertaining the other players, etc.11.  Complications: Introduce Mutants and Masterminds 2e style Complications.  These are things like rivalries, hunted, secret identity, physical disability, psychological issues (e.g., claustrophobic, extremely patriotic) that the player chooses (w/gm approval).  If the situation comes up in play and hinders the character, they get an action point.12.  Combata. Rework automatic weapon fireb. Rework Grapplingc. Reflex Save becomes basis for how hard you are to hit (modified by class bonus and feats)d. Have armor absorb damage.  13. Martial Arts: Replace with rules from  Blood and Fists (RPG Objects)14. Fxa.  Replace the Magic fx system with Elements of Magic: Mythic Earth (EN Publishing) like Magic Systemb.  Replace the Psionic fx system with Psychic's Handbook (Green Ronin) psychic power system15.  Add Hot Pursuit (Adamant) style chase rules16   Give some non-fx based campaign  examples like  Top Secret (Espionage/Super Spy) ,  Martial Arts Campaign, Military Campaign</blockquote>
