Fewer Absolutes as per the article on Sean Reynold's Website3. Races: remove the non-biological aspects from the races.  Non biological aspects should be a factor of class, culture, or occupation (see culture and occupation below)4. Culture:  add in some kind of environment/culture skill package similar to adolescence from Rolemaster Standard System/RMFRP/HARP. The culture would give a few bonus skills and provide a few bonus class skills5. Classes:  More flexible classes. a. Generic classes like True20 or d20 Modern like classes.  If True20 generic, add in three hybrid classes  Physical Adept (Expert/Adept hybrid), Warrior Adept, and a Warrior/Expert hybrid (for scouts, swashbucklers, etc.).  ; if  d20 Modern like classes (but not necessarily based on the ability scores),  classes could still be built off  the Warrior, Expert, Adept, Physical Adept, Warrior Adept, and a Warrior/Expert hybrid classc.  Hybrid spellcasters would have bards spell progression (i.e., spellcasting at first level) and not have full BAB.d.  full spellcasters would be toned down so that they do not overshadow other classes.  I'd like to see the current spell levels gained at 1/2 the rate they are now. For example, current third level spells would not be gained until 10th level, 5th level spells would not be gained until 18th.e.  cleric abilities and spells tied to the domains of their deities6. Occuptations: add in occupations like in d20Modern7. Weapon Groups as per UA instead of the current simple, martial, exotic, 8.  Skillsa. add in a few more skills (e.g., Knowledge (Streetwise), Research)b. make urban survival its own skillc. remove Use Rope.  have it fall under appropriate profession skilld. more skill points for classes9. Featsa. many combat feats become maneuvers.  There is no reason that throwing sand in an opponent's eyes needs to be a featb. add in the Brawl, Combat martial arts, and defensive martial arts trees from d20Modernc. Change Stunning Attack to a +4 BAB prereq (at which point it is useable 1/day or 1/encounter).10. Combata. armor as drb. class based defensec. use either d20 Modern massive damage rules or toughness save as per true2011. Magic: a. replace the spell slot systemb. tone down the spellcasters (yes. I know that I said this above!). c. go to spell point system. It avoids the pitfalls of per day and per encounter12. Saving throws: a. Good saves as per d20 Modern13. Equipmenta. remove orgosh's, mercurial weapons, spiked chains, sun rod's, tanglefoot bags, etc.b. add in missing weapons: atatl, belaying pin, blowgun, bolas, boomerang, cutlass, gaff/hook, harpoon, knife/stilleto, lucerne hammer, mancatcher, sabre, scourge, staff slingsc. add in missing armors: Bringandine, lamellar, ring mail, leather scale14. Magic Itemsa. less dependence on magic items15. less emphsis on back to the dungeon16. more training requirement built into the rules for switching classes17. Action points become core</blockquote>
