The only thing that's changed is the number of weekends <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />d20 is itself a cobbled together system that kinda-sort-almost works. It's got rules-that-fix-rules bolted onto the top of lecacy systems like some kind of engineer's nightmare. But it's fun despite (or perhaps because of) all this, and that's why we play.I'd rate Star Wars as one of the better systems of the bunch for the reasons given in the OP; it's not without flaws - as your quote about the Tech Specialist proves so well - but it just wouldn't be possible to create a d20 system without them*.* Though Call of Cthulhu d20 comes pretty darned close. CoC doesn't work for me as a Fantasy system though; I like my classes in Fantasy. Dunno why. But I do.</blockquote>
