Skill Emphasis.  I seem to remember a couple of the designers mentioning early on that they regretted not making Skill Focus a +3 bonus instead of +2. Subsequent games seem to all use Skill Emphasis instead, which is a +3 bonus.2. Partial Actions. IIRC, all the other d20 games WotC have done so far have eliminated Partial Actions, and just say "you get an extra/you get only a single Move action or single Attack action."3. Attacks of Opportunity. There seems to have been a lot of clarification in the AoO rules since 3e's release. I can see a revised 3e contaiing some of the improved explanations found in the later games. (This is my opinion at least. I found the AoO rules in CoCd20 a lot clearer than those in the PHB.)Hmm... Nothing else is leaping out at me just yet. I have noticed that the standard Skill Point allotments are different in d20M (3, 5, 7, or 9 per lvl) than in D&D (2,4,6, or 8 per lvl), but this might have more to do with inherrent differences between d20M and d20 than with "improving" the system.Honestly, I don't think you're ever going to see a WotC product or revision that ports mechanics like Wealth or Defense into D&D. But hey, that's what homebrewing is all about. <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=":)" /></blockquote>
