And the whole "more successes give better results" thingy is something I'd love to see in D&D...but the system doesn't have it in it. Simply tacking a "every 5 above the DC adds one success to the attempt" still doesn't do it.So, in this case, the resolution mechanic alone already gives the whole game a different "feel". Especially where combat is concerned...and might I add that the damage system is one of those "gimmicks" another poster spoke of? An example where the rules are deeply ingrained into the way the game runs and feels?As I stated already, I do believe you can take the Shadowrun setting and mold the d20 rules to it (whichever variant fits best <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> ), and it will play okay. It just will be a different game from Shadowrun. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> And I actually claim that the game had such a big success back when it came out the first time because it's concepts were so unlike AD&D. At least that was what drew me to it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
