[QUOTE="Marc_C, post: 8384805, member: 7025897"] Reading further about the system and I really don't think this is a test for a 6th edition of D&D. Too much of a departure. Having said that I want to give it a try. [I][B]Quote:[/B] "First off, as you may suspect from the name, Essence20 is a d20 based system.
