[QUOTE="keterys, post: 5787308, member: 43019"] Just going to quote the ones I'd want. I'm not a fan of using rolled stats except for one shots, and even then I think you can get the job done with alternate methods like Gamma World's. I want them all, depending on the game, adventure, and character. I want instant characters that just use their ability scores and I want folks who can get a bit more complicated. I've had a lot of fun with in-combat skill challenges in 4E, so I don't want to see those go away. I'd _really_ like the system to learn a few things about task resolution from other systems like [url="http://www.burningwheel.org/wiki/index.php?title=Introduction_To_The_Rules#Let_it_Ride"]Burning[/url] [url="http://www.burningwheel.org/wiki/index.php?title=Introduction_To_The_Rules#Say_Yes.2C_or_Roll_the_Dice"]Wheel[/url] (see [url="http://www.enworld.org/forum/5786179-post12.html"]this post[/url]). I'm a little less sure what's going on in this choice... like you mean flexible [b]race[/b] features, I'm guessing? And "feat customizable" races - do you mean lots of feats for each particular race (like 4e) or more generic building blocks anyone can take to say they have a "brutish race" or "tough race" or "sneaky race" or whatever. Anyhow, I'd prefer [url="http://www.enworld.org/forum/5786311-post15.html"]flexible build and customize your own races[/url] with a few examples that didn't have a strong swing on balance. I would really like people to pick their race more for what is fun and appropriate rather than what is more mechanically optimal. So, huge danger flag if things aren't flexible, since many people only take races that give them the right ability score bumps. Also, no feats just for specific races and classes. More ways to "get there from here" if you want to be slight variations on normal to fit your build, rather than there being monthly runs on specific races or vast majorities of a class being a certain race just because of one super feat. ... and wow, more to do later. Good idea though :) [/QUOTE]
