I am not trying to say that other systems are bad, they all have stengths and weaknesses. The last thing anyone needs is another d20 bashing, just trying to relate my personal experiences.

Thanks, Allen! I'm honored that my review was the subject of your first post at RPGnet. And I certainly don't think you were doing any bashing.

Thanks, Phil!

("A Davenport." Heehee... Makes my reviews sound like a wine. )

Sounds like it, from the feedback I've gotten so far.

Also, the way percentile works irks me as being counterintuitive.

Thanks, SB!

Regarding the percentile system being counterintuititve, were you referring to <b>Rolemaster</b>, <b>HARP</b>, or the more traditional percentile system?
