As a side-project from my work on d20pfsrd.com (http://www.d20pfsrd.com), I have started an off-shoot of the Pathfinder/d20 system. It has begun to spin to something I'm starting to like. I'd like to see if anyone is interested in helping develop some of the concepts I have begun to lay the groundwork for.

There's too much to give a truly representative summary here so just check out d20openrpg.com (http://www.d20openrpg.com/) and you should get a decent idea where we're headed!

STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION! NOTHING IS FINAL!

Main Page (http://www.d20openrpg.com/)

Main Combat Page (http://www.d20openrpg.com/gamemastering/combat)

Highlights of Combat Page:
Changed Surprise so there is no surprise round. Combatants who fail to notice enemies suffer a -20 penalty to their initiative (borrowed from a Paizo poster)
Flat-footed is a condition.
Flanked is a condition.
Three attack types, simple, martial, and advanced.
Simplified wording throughout.
Critical Thresholds.

Combat > Actions (Action Points in Combat) (http://www.d20openrpg.com/gamemastering/combat/actions-in-combat)

Highlights of Combat Actions Page:
All actions cost Action points to perform, allowing for a wider degree of flexibility and additional uses, such as costing action points to perform other tasks (like exchanging for Dodge bonuses to your AC.)

Gamemastering > Magic (http://www.d20openrpg.com/gamemastering/magic)

Highlights of Magic Page:

Spells are Talents
All Mental abilities are important to spell casters (borrowed from a poster on the Kirthfinder threads :) )

General Highlights Overall
Feats, Skills, Saving Throws, Class Abilities, Spells, are all Talents.
There are no classes in this system. You construct a PC by choosing an assortment of Talents.

We're always looking for others interested in the classless concept who might want to help on this. If you find this interesting feel free to send me an email to join the team!
