[QUOTE="howandwhy99, post: 3665977, member: 3192"] Ability Score modifiers optional 4 core classes and all other 20 level or less classes as optional Prestige classes (even starting at 1st) 3 core races (human, elf, dwarf) and other races optional Minimum and maximum scores to qualify for demi-human races -- racial ability adjustments optional Feats optional Skills optional Alignment optional Complete removal of the d20 combat system for the easier original D&D combat system. The current has far too fine a granularity and mixed level parties are not fun under it. Spell statistics optional Magic item statistics optional All spells and magic items optional Creature Type rules optional Separate character balancing based on Level AND "Item wealth". Meaning, level+wealth=CR, or CL or what have you. ELs based on NPC strategy and tactics as well as abilities. Use Examples Optional addition of an easy mass combat system Optional addition of simple world creation rules Optional addition of simplified 3-d combat system Optional addition of simplified surface, water, underwater, aerial, and mixed mass combat system rules Optional addition of realm rulership rules Include multiple Dice Mechanics with examples of relevant simulations (i.e. flat single rolls (d20), parabolic dice pool rolls, multi-variable rolls, etc.) Every additional product as supplement-only or as rule clarification. Like all the optionals so far suggested. Player books detailing ingenious play, not character construction. DM/Referee books detailing multiple styles of play and facilitation of these styles - Optional addition of morale and reputation scores & more I can't think of right now [/QUOTE]
