I've been thinking about this since the D20 conversion threads. I know that I will get alot of "Why are you doing this" type replies to this but bare with me.
I was thinking that it would be nice to have some of the advantages of a level based system without having to deal with D20's crap. I like that it is easy to measure power level with levels. I would like to make it so that it would have more specialized character types. I want to still use the same attributes and skills and their levels. The same dice mechanics and everything would apply. Maybe low skill ranks to start with but have a specialization in a few skills that can go higher. Maybe edge goes up with level. Maybe magic rating for magic users. Maybe increase in contact points or something like that. Basically I was thinking of a hybrid. I hate the D20 dice mechanic and the skill ratings not having any good idea what they mean for each rating. I like feats but it couldn't all be dice bonuses. Maybe something like elimination of penalties. Any constructive ideas? |
