  • Gestalt - D&D variant where every character gains 2 classes per level
  • Group Builds
    • All-the-same-class - everyone has to play different builds of the same class, such as everyone picks a different god for their cleric or a different school to specialize in for wizard, or different feat trees for a fighter
    • No-martial - no one can play a +1/level BAB class
    • No-spellcasters - no one can have any spells
  • http://www.d20srd.org/indexes/variantAdventuring.htm
    • Defense Bonus/Armor as DR/Armor Damage Conversion

Other systems?

  • Ars Magica - A d10-centric troupe-based system (players create a group as a group, not individual characters -- of varying degrees of power to control multiple ones and tell a story with more actors)
  • Paranoia - humoorous, dark humorous, or just dark dystopian sci-fi
  • Unisystem - a d10-centric rules-medium system with a lot of customizability
  • 4th Edition Playtest - Either with the pregen rules already posted or when the system is released in June.
