[QUOTE="The_Warlock, post: 4583458, member: 21215"] I'm not quite sure how to define "technically incompatible" for you. It uses the same attribute bonuses (though it gets rid of the ruling attribute numbers for convenience), uses most of the same skill conventions, uses mostly the same feats (simplified in many instances for ease of use and prerequisites), uses a status rather than hit point system for wounds, and a skillish like magic system. The combat is more or less the same with the primary difference being: No AoOs by default; Dex to Hit regardless of attack type, Str for damage; Combat Bonus by Role (BAB, if you will) adds to your Defense to avoid being hit, and Armor effectively soaks damage by improving your roll to avoid debilitating damage status effects. Everything uses a D20 for resolution, DCs are as the SRD, and each variant of the True20 rules released has come with a convenient conversion appendix. A friend of mine basically uses it but put Hit Points back in and it works pretty close to board. And if you are familiar with 3/3.5, you can probably down-convert most monster stats on the fly once you are familiar with the conversion appendix. [/QUOTE]
