It would be pretty cool to take gamma world concepts and implement them for D&D for a quick and easy Game. Let me explain.Origins could be divided into say... 6 races, and 12 classes or something. Even more if you wanted. Im just throwing some stuff out here ...Roll a d6 for your race. (something just off the top of my head.) Each race has a Primary stat. This stat begins at 18...1-Human (Str)2-Elf (Dex)3-Dwarf (Con)4-Halfling ( Wis)5-Gnome ( Int)6-Half Elf ( Cha)Roll a d12 for random class... each class has a secondary stat.. that begins at 16...1-Fighter (Str)2- Rogue (Dex)3- Wizard (Int)4- Cleric (Wis)5- Paladin (Cha)6- Monk (Str)7- Sorcerer (Cha)8- Bard (Int)9- Barbarian (Con)10- Druid (Wis)11- Ranger (Dex)12- Psion (Int)If both race and class are the same stat, begin at 20...Max level goes to level 10...Each race/ class grants one power thats unique (usually at will)... so you will have 2 at will powers. Add +level instead of +1/2 level. Each class would grant a +4 bonus to a certain skill, as well as rolling for an additional random skill. (see gamma world for more info on this...) .Xp is greatly reduced for level gain. You would also gain a critical hit benefit at level 2, at level 3 get a utility power from race or class, etc etc.Sure we dont have alpha powers or whatever, but those could be replaced with some sort of powers or something... maybe a feat type of thing pertaining to each class instead of alpha power.... Random item generation would be easy... basically roll on a table of (heavy/ light , melee/ ranged weapon) which would have generic stats, so there would be no short sword, or long sword, it would just be a heavy or light weapon of whatever you wanted.Back to item generation, just roll for your weapon/armor, and then roll for a type (fire, ice , electric, sonic? , holy, shadow, ) Your weapon would deal +1d6 that type of damage, or armor would reduce that type of damage by 5 or something.The object is to have a quick pick up and go game of D&D . I know you say essentials is that, but honestly its not as quick as gamma world. Anyway, comments ?</blockquote>
