[QUOTE="Pilsnerquest, post: 3258208, member: 48328"] I'm not sure who worked up the ultramicrolite20 rules (rycanada?) but I had mostly skipped over them until finally they caught my eye. I tweaked them a tad to give characters some depth, multiclass type ability and magic while bidding a fond ado to character levels.
