[QUOTE="Lorgrom, post: 2737493, member: 6116"] Lets start with a system that is very diffrent from D20, Hero System aka Champions. This is a point based system.

You start off with a base amount of points (in a Heroic setting like most DnD games, you get 75, if you play a standard Super Hero setting you get 100 points).
