[The Base System] (OR: How To Crib Off Various Editions Of D&D And LOOK, {to the untrained observer,} COMPLETELY Original!)

Step 1: Don't tell them what you did in the title of your post.

Step 2: Change things over from a d20 based system to a d100 System.

Step 3: Change the names of everything so 'feats' become something like "Talents", or "Merits".

Step 4: Have a setting which is not stolen from Tolkien AT ALL, or SO CHANGED that only the barest HINT of its purloined origin remains! (This is critically important.)

Step 5: Laugh in the face of anyone who claims you cribbed it all off D&D and then get angry when they get angry.

Step 6: Make sure you have the backing of a company with the BEST tort lawyers in the world when you go to publish.
