The "Weapon Finesse" feat made the game for me. Basically it lets you use
your dex bonus for melee attacks (normally you use your str bonus). This
lets you make agile characters who aren't strong, but are still good
fighters (a virtual impossibility in the old rules).

That'll be a big change for HoE d20, normally the nimble character is the
better fighter, but under d20 the strong character, not the dextrous
(d20 equivalent of nimble), is the better fighter.

That and HP's are the only problems I've ever really had with d20.
