11-03-04, 04:21 PM What is D10? Here is just a fraction of the possibilities! IMAGINE:

* no longer having to agonize over which skills are class and cross-class
* no longer looking up class progression charts
* no longer having boring character levels where you get nothing except another hit die

* shaping and evolving your character exactly the way you want, without having to jigsaw a half dozen character classes together
* putting your character through a mid-life career change without having to reconstruct your character over a mismash of levels and classes

It contains innovations such as :

* classless development
* revised skill chart, with some feats folded into skills

* corrected and expanded size chart
* no maximum or minimum size
* new interpretations of what size does
* separation of size and mass - allowing for correct Strength scores for Climb, Jump, and Swim

* new take on putting together monsters

* the elements of weapons and armor

and much, much, more.

Use it in whole or in part or just for inspiration.

11-03-04, 05:22 PM i have been working on a 2d6 system primarily designed for camping and such environments where you would not like to risk your materials and/or easier to lose dice. i would be interested in what you are working up, mine is a classless/skill based system.

Hi. It sounds like you basically want to play outdoors and/or on-the-move.
Can you elaborate on what you have now?--what do you mean by "2d6 system"?

11-05-04, 03:57 PM living in alaska, yes, i spend a lot of time outdoors in the (short) summer but still like to game. the system i am working on uses 2d6 for everything (traveler flashback??) stats, attacks, saves, skill checks, etc. the skills are based on your prime stat plus level divided by two. in my old d&d system i used two stats plus level and divided the total by three for your power score and it worked great, no ranks to keep track of, cross-class and whatever. the 2d6 system will retain that flexibility, balancing the # of skills is the key. armor is also a DR not an AC. i am still trying to balance the combat system with an evasion skill without being too arbitrary. i have to admit after starting 3.5(i am a die-hard old-schooler and didn't touch 2nd or v3.0) i haven't put alot of work into it lately because i do like the new system and have been trying to convert all of my homegrown monsters to 3.5.
