To be defined later, but as it might appear to some of you this is very similar to D&D 4E. I know many people dislike it, but it does have pros. It's easy to pick up and simple to use. As another note, I will be defining classes and different ways of playing them later in this post. Many things will be based on your class. For example, if you're an extremely frail dwarf priest, you will be able to modify your hit-points accordingly.
