It was designed to lift certain restrictions and provide a much looser d20 experience for players. If you want to build a 1st level character with a +70 to his Jump skill or the ability to fly to the moon at will, you can do so very easily. DNW would not work terribly well with the classes in the D&D3 PHB, altough many of its elements can be borrowed and fit back into fantasy d20, DNW doesn't slide neatly into place with D&D3 and its kin. FC2F is the game you want if you're looking for fidelity to the D&D3 standard, and ease of use with that standard. What they say is true... using it, you could send Spider-Man to Faerun as easily as you could lift characters from Faerun and dump them in Spider-Man's lap. <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=":)" />For more information on DNW, check out my website:<a href="http://www.allforart.com/cryptosnarkgames" target="_blank">http://www.allforart.com/cryptosnarkgames</a>Or check out the DNW discussion list, and feel free to ask questions:<a href="http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/deedsnotwordsd20" target="_blank">http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/deedsnotwordsd20</a>Cheers and best,SL</blockquote>
