[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 1830291, member: 1125"] "Roll D20 add modifers compare to DC" at its heart d20 is a skill resolution system with feats being a way to alter certain modifiers. [B]-no ability scores, just ability modifiers[/B] About time! The ability scores are just a way of randomly determining modifiers anyway [B]-no character classes.[/B] The Heroic roles - yeah whatever just because you don't call thems classes doesn't mean its not a class! [B]-no class abilities, just feats[/B] Wonderful. Class Abilities are just 'exclusive' feat bundles anyway [B]-no hit points[/B] This si a biggy, I assume in dropping Hit points/Vitality points (whatever) they are going to use a mechanic similar to M&M's 'damage save' which is all good but will change the dynamic [B]-totally different magic system[/B] I assume you mean different to the Vancian system of standard DnD. NB DnD is NOT = D20 [B]-no experience points[/B] It will be interesting to see what they replace the 'character development' system with [B]-no miniature based combat[/B] I don't use minatures for combat now [B]-different alignment system[/B] Been done before, so not an essential of D20. Calling and Conviction sounds interesting [/QUOTE]
