Though some parts have changed:Dice: d20s, d4s, d6s, d8s, d10s, d12s, d100sAbilities: the classic 6, ranging from 3-18, or (or 19 or 20)Alignment: chaos, law, evil, goodRaces, both in general and specifically: human, dwarf, elf, variant elf, halfling, gnomeClasses, both in general and specifically: : fighter, rogue/thief , wizard/magic-user, cleric, ranger, paladin, barbarian, druid, bard  Character level and XP (for defeating monsters)HP & AC (as damage avoidance) “Fire and forget” magic (including more explicit vancian magic for wizards)Mechanics for listning, sneaking, finding traps, and climbing walls. Many (statistically) different kinds of armor and weaponsGems, gold (coins), and magic itemsDungeon, Wilderness, and (maybe) city adventuringMonsters: dragons, orcs, kobolds, goblins (and kin), giants, trolls, beholders,  mind-flayers, drow, giant/dire insects and animals, elementals (and kin), demons and devils, fey, griffons and minators (and so on), dinosaurs, tarasque, evil humans  Whats interesting is that there are plenty of RPGs that have few of things, and or deemphasize them. But there are also plenty of RPGs that have most of these.But how many have ALL of them? And wouldn't that be a D&D clone?</blockquote>
