I think the Saga rules are very, very good for d20, in that they provide a wonderful (perhaps more operatic) alternative to the granular, nitty-gritty experience that is typified by low level D&D.Potentially, they will also help pave a way toward making high level D&D a better compromise between customization and self-inflicted hair-pulling.... but now MY biases are showing. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
