An alternate D20 system designed to solve all of those aspects of D20 that irritated people. It has a skill based feat system and a Class Framework instead of a hundred classes that allows players to create any kind of character they want. It has support for many different settings and technology levels. It allows you to play in settings that you like but in a system that makes more sense. All actions are based on one dice roll instead of many that slow games down. Combat is very fast and easy to resolve but extremely deadly forcing your players to actually seek cover instead of standing around and taking it. It has a totally different magic system based on a smaller set of powers with each spell a feat within the powers.
