[QUOTE="Tenbones, post: 1299730, member: 7499"] [b]Talislanta d20????[/b] I'm totally with JEL on this. Why in the world would you *want* to make Talislanta d20? I've played Talislanta since 1st edition, which I backed into by complete accident, and I was blown away by it. It was like D&D... but not D&D. By 2nd and 3rd edition, I was, and still am, convinced Talislanta's system is superior to any incarnation of D&D imho. Sure you can tweak it, and fudge it for your to your own level of complexity, the system itself, is what I wished 3ed would be. It's a perfect amalgamation of class/skill based systems that allows you to customize your PC in a (il)logical way that scales beautifully from level 1, to ungodly levels (book of Sorcery, HELLO?). And the setting? Bar none, one of the best out there. Races? Awesome cool races! Magic? High or Low depending on where you're playing. Gear? Exotic and deadly. Combat? Beautiful system that melds perfectly with spellcasting. What few holes that exist in the system are so minor that any GM worth his salt can *easily* customize to his tastes to account for. 3.5 d20 while similar in appearance, completely lacks the finesse of the Talislanta system. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of d20. But there are many many systems within d20 that are flat broken or need revamping (AC, Spellcasting, XP progression, Skill system, ECL/CR system... the list goes on) that you simply don't have any problems with in Talislanta. Also, Talislanta because of it's hybrid class/skill bases system enforces more character development and roleplaying than specialist role development in a strict Class-based system like d20. I'd like to see Forgotten Realms done in the Talislanta system... [/QUOTE]
