[QUOTE="Greg K, post: 3463797, member: 5038"] To me, DND is sword and sorcery fantasy adventure using: 1) the six ability scores 2) classes 3) use of a d20 4) saving throws 6) the availability of the IP monsters (e.g., beholder, mindflayer, Demogorgon etc.) As for alignment, Vancian magic, and classes, here is my take. Alignment needs to be reworked or replaced with something like loyalty although I would keep the good/evil for outsiders and divine powered characters. Vancian Magic: Vanican Magic should be shot, burned and buried. . Personally, I like the suggestion of using a system like Elements of Magic. Classes: I don't want to see these go. However, I want classes which much are much more customizeable than we get from WOTC. I think Steve Kenson came very close to getting it perfect, but I think he should have used a few hybrid classes in addition to the three that he went with (Apparently several other fans of True20 felt the same way as they created hybrid classes on the True20 boards).
