Warlock
A warlock is a person who has made a pact with foul demons, serving them in exchange for eldritch powers. However, not all warlocks made these bargins, many warlocks in the current generations inherited their power from their cursed ancestors.

Weapon and armour proficiency: sorcerers are proficient with all simple weapons. they are not proficient with any armour.
Magic: a warlock casts arcane spells which are drawn primarily from the warlock spell list. He can cast any spell he knows without preparing it ahead of time, the way a wizard or a cleric must (see below).
To learn or cast a spell, a warlock must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a warlock’s spell is 10 + the spell level + half the warlocks class level + warlock’s Charisma modifier.
Like other spellcasters, a warlock only has a limited amount of mana.
A warlock’s selection of spells is extremely limited. A warlock begins play knowing two 1st-level spells of your choice. At each new warlock level, he gains one or more new spells, as indicated on Table: warlock Spells Known. (Unlike mana per day, the number of spells a warlock knows is not affected by his Charisma score; the numbers on Table: warlock Spells Known are fixed.) These new spells can be common spells chosen from the warlock spell list, or they can be unusual spells that the warlock has gained some understanding of by study. The warlock can’t use this method of spell acquisition to learn spells at a faster rate, however.
Upon reaching 4th level, and at every even-numbered warlock level after that (6th, 8th, and so on), a warlock can choose to learn a new spell in place of one he already knows. In effect, the warlock "loses" the old spell in exchange for the new one. The new spell’s level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged, and it must be at least two levels lower than the highest-level warlock spell the warlock can cast. A warlock may swap only a single spell at any given level, and must choose whether or not to swap the spell at the same time that he gains new spells known for the level.
Unlike a wizard or a cleric, a warlock need not prepare his spells in advance. He can cast any spell he knows at any time, assuming he has not yet used up his avalible mana. He does not have to decide ahead of time which spells he’ll cast.

[Dante & Vergil]

It looks pretty good so far and, while I'm at it, I'd like to ask a question.
What are BDB (Base Defence Bonus) and MDB (Mental Defence Bonus) and what do they do and/or how do they change the 3.X system as it stands now? (This is to assume that BAB is the same and has remained as such.)

[lesser_minion]

Defender is going to be a problem - we've actually had two threads over in roleplaying games discussing why the Dwarven Defender is actually very bad at defending.

In essence, standing still and making the enemy come to you works well for low-level warriors, but it makes no sense at all for elites to do the same thing, because even trying will allow a whole pile of ninjas to waltz into your base and kill your d00ds.

Defensive Stance could use an update - you should probably consider allowing the Defender to move, and giving him a bonus while he is within a certain distance of something worth protecting.

Alternatively, you could allow a selection of Stances - e.g. one that allows you to block tumblers, one that makes your surroundings impenetrable to ethereal or astral creatures, and so on.

Defensive Stance actually has a lot in common with Rage in that it doesn't really make sense - a barbarian in a fight is already pretty angry, and the really important thing is what that anger leads him to do, not how he can become angrier.

Cutting down the number of level-dependent stats is a good idea, but how will you be handling poisons and diseases?

A selection of feats and new skill uses, as well as a way to calculate how much threat the opponents cause are things i will make soon. By making a feat that lets you use intimidate or bluff to make opponents close to you attack you will work. Also, if you look, the defender can still move when defending: the stance just eliminates fast movement (which is there to let them "defend" by moving towards the opponents and attack). Any idea's about what it should do? I'm happy to use sugestions. Not sure about desiese, assume everything not mentioned is the same so far.

Dante & Vergil: BDB is dadded to defence rolls: this replaces AC, although characters may take 10 once a round. MDB is a bonus to a roll against mental attacks, mainly spells and psionics. It is a roll with your MDB and the apporprate modifier, against the DC of the attack.

Also, warlocks nearly done. I'll edit it later.

The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a warmage’s spell is 10+the spell level+half the warmage's class level+the warmage’s Intelligence modifier.
Like other spellcasters, a warmage only has a limited amount of mana a day. A warmage must prepare their spells in advance, spending the mana when they prepare the spell and then noting down that the spell is memorized. A warmage can only cast a meorized warmage spell.
Unlike a bard or sorcerer, a warmage may know any number of spells. She must choose and prepare her spells ahead of time by getting a good night’s sleep and spending 1 hour studying her spellbook. While studying, the warmage decides which spells to prepare.
Armoured mage: a warmage learns to cast spells in armour. at 1st level a warmage gains the ability to ignore arcane spell faliure for warmage spells when they are in armour they are proficient with.
Direct damage specialization: a warmage deals +2 damage with spells that deal lethal damage.
Bonus feats: at 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter the warmage gains a free metamagic or item creation feat.

Prestige classes
I have decided to include prestige classes in A20. They work as before, except that magic using prestige classes will have to be redisigned in some cases. These are those that grant spellcasting without you needing other classes: at least 50% of the time you so=hould be able to get away with something similar to the bardric sages casting progression with fixed spells known.

Magic
In the original post I stated I wanted to keep the power of magic. However, instead magic has become less powerful and harder to use, but the number of spells each day has been put up.
Requirements
In order to use magic a character must have one of two feats: Arcane Gift or Divine Favour. Without these feats characters can still gain levels with the spellcasting classes, but are unable to cast any spells (with the exception of the paladin or the bard, who do not require the feats). Characters who take the feat but have no spellcasting class have one point of the appropreate type of mana, and can use mana activated abilities, but cannot cast spells.
Mana
Of note is the importance of extra mana for casters. In addition to the mana from class levels casters gain mana from having high ability scores, using a mechanic similar to bonus spells per day. To find out your "Base Mana Score" (BMS) triple your magic score and add your primary casting stat, the divide by 2. Spontaneous casters can use twice their magic score plus their primary spellcasting stat. Then compare your score to the table below.
{table]BMS/class level|1-2|3-4|5-6|7-8|9-10|11-12|13-14|15-16|17-18|19-20
4-5|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-

40-41|4|12|20|28|27|33|39|45|34|38[/table]
The table extends infintely downwards. add together the bonus mana you gain from the entire row.
Multiclassing between spellcasting classes
A character can only have one spellcasting class of each type arcane and divine. Mana from each class must be tracked speperately.
Casting
Spellcasters use spells in one of two ways: the fire and forget way of celrics and wizards (and it's variants); or the any spell any time way of the sorcerer, druid, and shaman (and their variants).
For spontaneous casting you spend the mana, and then cast the spell, which goes of at full caster level.
For fire and forget you must spend an hour after resting memorizing spells. During this time you memorize the spells that you wish to cast and spend the mana for them. The spell is then noted down as memorized. When the character casrts the spell it is wiped from their mind, and so it is removed from the memorized spells section of the sheet.
The mana costs for spells are set out in the table below.
{table]Spell level|Mana cost
1|1
2|3
3|6
4|12
5|18
6|27[/table]
Any spell of 6th level or under is considered pre-epic for full casters, while partial casters pre-epic spells are of 4th level and below. The costs for full caster epic spells are in the table below:
{table]Spell level|Mana cost
7|36
8|48
9|60
10|75
11|91
12|108
13|127
14|147
15|169[/table]
the formula is ¾ the spell level².
To cast a spell successfully a spellcaster must make a skill check: devotion for divine casters and spellcraft for arcane spellcasters. the DC is 10+¾ the spell level². The DCs and concequences for levels 1-15 are on the table below:
{table]Spell level|DC|Failed by <5|Failed by >5
0|10|Nothing|Nothing
1|11|1 damage|Nothing
2|12|2 damage|+1 damage
3|13|2 damage, stunned for 1 round|2 damage

15|123|9 damage, stunned for 7 rounds, spell lost|8 damage, stunned for 6 rounds, spell lost[/table]

Metamagic
This works as in 3.5: when you memorize or cast a spell spontaneously you may pay the extra mana and apply a metamagic feat. Spontaneous spells casting time does not increase, and so they may be quickened.

(note, the memorization system here is slightly closer to dying earth than that in D&D 3.5, due to the fact Cugel could only memorize the simpilest spells, but it's quite far from that).

Schools of magic
Magic is split into seven schools: abjuration, conjuration, enchantment, invocation, necromancy, transmutation, and universal. Illusion spells are changed so they are mind effecting, and are part of the enchantment school. The exception to this is shadow spells, which are now part of the conjuration school. Divination has been absorbed into the universal school, and healing spells are now necromancy spells.

Variant: wizard specialists
Instead of using the wizard variants of the abjurer, diviner, enchanter, necromancer, summoner, transmuter, and warmage, you many instead state that all wizards must specialize in one of the seven schools of magic. Specialists are referred to with the following names: abjurer, conjurer, enchanter, invoker, transmuter and wizard. All wizards have access to the wizard spell list, as well as any two other spells from their speciality school for each spell level. They gain a +2 bonus on spellcraft checks to cast spells from their speciality school, and an extra amount of mana equal to 2xthe highest spell level that they can cast-1, and must prepare one spell from their speciality school for each spell level that they can cast. However, they must lose any two other schools, apart from the universal school. Generalist wizards gain a +1 bonus on spellcraft checks to cast all spells but gain non of the other bonuses or penalties of other specialists.

Coming soon: psionics, bio-magic.

1) As per your statements on the Bio-Mage thread, you have my full permission to use Bio-Magic as the alternate casting method for your project. Just cite me as the inspiration, or whatever. Enjoy.

2) There are more elegant ways to type ½ & ¾, without resorting to [tags]. Copypasta the symbols above at your liesure.

Thank's, I'll get round to posting a slight variant on bio-magic as soon as I've got the spell lists sorted out. I hope to have more ways of regaining LP, but less opportunity to, although I haven't read the entire project yet, I have enough to draft up a quick set of conversion rules.

Also, thank's for the symbols, I'll edit them into the post.

These spell lists are in no particular order, in the arangement of lists and the arangement of spells in each level. I'll begin with the wizard, and then move on to the cleric, druid ect.

If people have ideas for domains can they please post them. All domains should grant four spells at each level, and have a granted power that is about the same magnitude as the domains listed. I'll add more domains later, I'm aiming to convert all 3.5 PHB domains except for healing.

[Anonymouswizard]

I'll try to post two domains a day until I cover all the PHB domains. Sfter that I'll convert a few more, but until then I am going to work on shaman spells.
Shaman spells
Shaman begin play with the core shaman spells and the spells from one domain. There are fewer shaman domains than cleric domains, but each domain adds some divine power to the list. Shaman need the divine favour feat to cast spells, but not the arcane gift feat.

If anyone has ideas for shaman domains can they post them. Domains should have ome relation to nature and consist of four spells each spell level. No alignment domains please, those will be exclusive to clerics.
Most Shaman should be elemental, with their domain(s) being one of the elemental domains.

If anyone wishes to playtest the system, feel free to use what I have posted at any point. Currently the available classes are all the martial classes, plus the bard cleric, druid, shaman, sorcerer and wizard. Please post up anything you noticed and possible fixes, and if you do do controlled experiments please post all the relevant information. They are worth double uncontrolled experiments.

Due to the sheer number of spell lists it would mean, I am going to skip the variant classes for the moment and move on. I'll do the feats, skills, and combat system for now, then move on to the psionics system. Next I will detail the variant class spell lists, and then sort out a variant on Zeta Kai's Bio-magic system.

Shear? Where? What's sheared? How bad is it?

Sorry to pick you up on a spelling mistake, but shear/sheer confusion is something that annoys me.

Feats
In A20 you start with two feats and gain an extra feat at every odd numbered character level. These can be chosen from any of the feat lists you qualify for: general (anyone), martial (useful in combat), or magical (1 or more levels in a spellcasting class). You may chose any feats for which you meet the prerequisites.

All feats that increase your skill bonuses are removed, and replaced with skill focus. Any feats that increase save DCs are removed, due to the automatic scaling with caster level.

General feats
These are feats that are available to any characters.

Spoiler

Show

Any general feat in the 3.5 PHB (I will get around to fixing feats later).
Arcane gift
Prerequisites: int or cha 12+.
Benefit: choose one arcane spellcasting class except for bard. You can cast spells from that classes spell list.
Cohort
Prerequisites: character level 6, cha 12+.
Benefit: you can gain a cohort. A cohort is a character of a level when first gained equal to the characters level-2, and can gain a level up to their employers level-1. A cohort gains XP at half the rate of a PC. The player and the GM can work together to decide the cohorts race and class, or you can roll on the table below:
{table]d8|Race|d10|Class
1|Human|1|Barbarian
2|Dwarf|2|Bard
3|Elf|3|Cleric
4|Gnome|4|Druid
5|Goblin|5|Fighter
6|Half-elf|6|Shaman
7|Orc|7|Sorcerer
8|Lizardman|8|Thief
-||9|Wizard
-||10|Roll again[/table]
Divine favour
Prerequisites: Wis 12+.
Benefit: choose one divine spellcasting class except for monk or paladin. You can cast spells from that classes spell list.
Dodge
Prerequisites: dex 13+.
Benefit: During your action, you designate a number of opponents equal to your dex bonus and receive a +1 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks from that opponent. You can select a new opponent on any action.
A condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses. Also, dodge bonuses stack with each other, unlike most other types of bonuses.
Special: A fighter may select Dodge as one of his fighter bonus feats.
Leader
Prerequisites: character level 6, cha 12.
Benefit: You can gain followers based on your character level, as shown on the table in the hirelings and followers section. The characters effective level for this is his level +3.
Skill focus
Benefit: choose a skill. You gain a +3 bonus on checks with that skill.
Toughness
Benefit: you gain +3 hit points.
Special: you can take this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.

Martial feats
These feats are from the fighter bonus feat list.

Spoiler

Show

Cleave
Prerequisites: Str 13, Power Attack.
Benefit: If you deal a creature enough damage to make it drop (typically by dropping it to below 0 hit points or killing it), you get an immediate, extra melee attack against another creature within reach. You cannot take a 5-foot step before making this extra attack. The extra attack is with the same weapon and at the same bonus as the attack that dropped the previous creature. You can use this ability once per round.
Special: A fighter may select Cleave as one of his fighter bonus feats.
Great cleave
Prerequisites: Str 13, Cleave, Power Attack, base attack bonus +4.
Benefit: This feat works like Cleave, except that there is no limit to the number of times you can use it per round.
Special: A fighter may select Great Cleave as one of his fighter bonus feats.
Extra manoeuvre
Prerequisite: character level 3.
Benefit: you can gain any one combat manoeuvre that you can learn.
Power Attack
Prerequisite: Str 13.
Benefit: On your action, before making attack rolls for a round, you may choose to subtract a number from all melee attack rolls and add the same number to all melee damage rolls. This number may not exceed your base attack bonus. The penalty on attacks and bonus on damage apply until your next turn.
Special: If you attack with a two-handed weapon, or with a one-handed weapon wielded in two hands, instead add twice the number subtracted from your attack rolls. You can’t add the bonus from Power Attack to the damage dealt with a light weapon (except with unarmed strikes or natural weapon attacks), even though the penalty on attack rolls still applies. (Normally, you treat a double weapon as a one-handed weapon and a light weapon. If you choose to use a double weapon like a two-handed weapon, attacking with only one end of it in a round, you treat it as a two-handed weapon.)
A fighter may select Power Attack as one of his fighter bonus feats.
Two weapon fighting
Prerequisite: dex 13+
Benefit: when you are fighting with two weapons the penalty is -4/-4 if you are using two one-handed weapons, or -2/-2 if you are using a light weapon.
Weapon finesse
Prerequisite: BAB +1
Benefit: With a light weapon, rapier, whip, or spiked chain made for a creature of your size category, you may use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls. If you carry a shield, its armor check penalty applies to your attack rolls.
Special: A fighter may select Weapon Finesse as one of his fighter bonus feats.
Natural weapons are always considered light weapons.
Weapon focus
Prerequisites: Proficiency with selected weapon, base attack bonus +1.
Benefit: choose a weapon, this can be unarmed strike, grapple, or ray. You gain a +1 bonus on all attack rolls you make using the selected weapon. For every four fighter levels you have you add an extra 1 to this bonus.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of weapon.
A fighter may select Weapon Focus as one of his fighter bonus feats. He must have Weapon Focus with a weapon to gain the Weapon Specialization feat for that weapon.
Weapon specialization
Prerequisites: Proficiency with selected weapon, Weapon Focus with selected weapon, fighter level 4th.
Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus on all damage rolls you make using the selected weapon. For every four fighter levels you have beyond 4th you gain an extra +2 bonus to damage rolls.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of weapon.
A fighter may select Weapon Specialization as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Magical feats

Brew potion
Prerequisites: caster level 5.
Benefit: you can create a potion of any 3rd-level or lower spell that you know and that targets one or more creatures. Brewing a potion takes one day. When you create a potion, you set the caster level, which must be sufficient to cast the spell in question and no higher than your own level. The base price of a potion is its spell level × its caster level × 50 gp.
When you create a potion, you make any choices that you would normally make when casting the spell. Whoever drinks the potion is the target of the spell.
Any potion that stores a spell with a costly material component or an XP cost also carries a commensurate cost. In addition to the costs derived from the base price, you must expend the material component or pay the XP when creating the potion.
Chain spell
Prerequisites: any magical feat.
Benefit: by increasing the cost of the spell by three spell levels you can make a targeted spell jump to a number of secondary targets up to your caster level (max 20) all within 30ft of the original target. If the spell deals damage then the secondary targets take half as much damage, if not then the save DC is reduced by 4.
Coloured mage
Prerequisites: sorcerer or wizard level 1.
Benefit: you may add any one of the colour sets of spells to the spells known for your arcane spellcasting class. You add +1 to the DC of these spells. If any of these spells are already on your spell list then you can cast them at +1 caster level.

Benefit: You can create any magic weapon, armor, or shield whose prerequisites you meet. Enhancing a weapon, suit of armor, or shield takes one day for each 1,000 gp in the price of its magical features.
The weapon, armor, or shield to be enhanced must be a masterwork item that you provide. Its cost is not included in the above cost.
You can also mend a broken magic weapon, suit of armor, or shield if it is one that you could make. Doing so costs half the XP, half the raw materials, and half the time it would take to craft that item in the first place.
Craft rod
Prerequisites: caster level 15.
Benefit: You can create any rod whose prerequisites you meet. Crafting a rod takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its base price.
Some rods incur extra costs in material components or XP, as noted in their descriptions. These costs are in addition to those derived from the rod’s base price.
Craft staff
Prerequisites: caster level 15.
Benefit: You can create any staff whose prerequisites you meet.
Crafting a staff takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its base price. A newly created staff has 50 charges.

Craft wand
Prerequisites: caster level 8.
Benefit: you can create a wand of any 4th-level or lower spell that you know. Crafting a wand takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its base price. The base price of a wand is its caster level × the spell level × 750 gp. A newly created wand has 50 charges.
Any wand that stores a spell with a costly material component or an XP cost also carries a commensurate cost. In addition to the cost derived from the base price, you must expend fifty copies of the material component or pay fifty times the XP cost.
Craft wondrous item
Prerequisites: caster level 8.
Benefit: You can create any wondrous item whose prerequisites you meet. Enchanting a wondrous item takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its price.
You can also mend a broken wondrous item if it is one that you could make. Doing so costs half the XP, half the raw materials, and half the time it would take to craft that item in the first place.
Some wondrous items incur extra costs in material components or XP, as noted in their descriptions. These costs are in addition to those derived from the item’s base price. You must pay such a cost to create an item or to mend a broken one.
Empower spell
Benefit: by increasing the cost of the spell by two spell levels all random numeric effects of the spell are multiplied by 1.5.
Energy substitution
Prerequisites: Knowledge (arcana) 5 ranks, any magical feat.

Nonlethal substitution
Prerequisites: any magical feat, knowledge (arcana) 5 ranks.

Benefit: by increasing the cost of a spell by four spell levels you can cast the spell as a swift action.
Scribe scroll
Prerequisites: caster level 3.

Skills
In A20 each character gets a number of skill points equal to his intelligence modifier plus a bonus from his class (this total is multiplied at 1st level). Each point lets you gain one rank in any skill. There is no such thing as a class skill in A20, all skills are class skills for all characters. That means that your fighter can have as many ranks in pickpocket as a thief. The skills are as follows (in brackets are the 3.5 skills that they represent).

Athletics (climb, swim)

Health
In A20 there is no roll for HP. Each character gains an amount of HP equal to his constitution score + a bonus equal to the class he has the most levels in+an amount from his levels in other classes+(his class level-1)xhis constitution modifier. The numbers are set out on the table below.
{table]|Barbarian|Bard|Cleric|Druid|Fighter|Shaman|Sorcer er|Thief|Wizard
1st level|+8|+4|+6|+6|+8|+4|+2|+4|+2
Other levels|4|2|3|3|4|2|1|2|1[/table]

Wounds
Each character can take a number of wounds equal to his constitution modifier+half his class level. Whenever a character takes an amount of damage equal to twice his constitution score he suffers a wound. Each wound makes a character take a -1 penalty to all skill checks and attacks. When a character takes a number of wounds in access of his wound cap he immediately drops to -1 hit points and starts dying.
Recovering wounds: before they can recover wounds a character must first be at full hit points. Each full days rest recovers one wound point. Magical healing restores one wound per level of the spell.

Dying
A dying character is unconscious and near death. She has -1 to -9 current hit points. A dying character can take no actions and is unconscious. At the end of each round (starting with the round in which the character dropped below 0 hit points), the character rolls d% to see whether she becomes stable. She has a 10% chance to become stable. If she does not, she loses 1 hit point. If a dying character reaches -her constitution score in hit points, she is dead.

[Anonymouswizard]

Fatigue and energy
In A20 characters cannot go on forever. Each character has a number of energy points equal to his or her constitution score. Martial classes also gain a number of energy points equal to their class level. Any strenuous activity drains a point of energy from your pool (the DM decides what counts as strenous). When half of your pool has gone you become fatigued, and when all your points are gone you become exhausted. If you continue to act while exhausted, when you reach -5 energy points you fall unconscious. You regain one-eighth of your energy points with each nights rest.
Fatigued: A fatigued character can neither run nor charge and takes a -2 penalty to Strength and Dexterity. Doing anything that would normally cause fatigue causes the fatigued character to become exhausted. After 8 hours of complete rest, fatigued characters are no longer fatigued.
Exhausted: An exhausted character moves at half speed and takes a -6 penalty to Strength and Dexterity. After 1 hour of complete rest, an exhausted character becomes fatigued. A fatigued character becomes exhausted by doing something else that would normally cause fatigue.

[Anonymouswizard]

Statistics
Each character has 8 stats: Agility, which represents agility and physical grace; Constitution, which represents your resistance to disease and physical toughness; strength, which represents physical strength; Charisma, which represents your looks and personality; Intelligence, which represents your characters memory and book learning; Magic; which represents your characters ability to channel the magical energy flowing around the world; and willpower, which represents your characters mental resilience and common sense.

Each stat has a score between one and infinity. They are generated by either rolling 4d6 eight times and taking the best result each time, or by buying them with points.

When using the point buy method each stat begins at ten. You then get 15 points to spend on raising stats. No stat can be raised above 18 using the point buy method. You can spend a point to raise a stat one number, and can drop a stat below ten to gain one point per number.

Each stat also has a bonus or penalty based on the number, set out on the table below:
{table]Stat|Bonus
