For me, at least, “like D&D” can mean a lot of things. There are some games where you can tell their starting design point was just D&D, and everything else is either a tweak, a replacement or an addition. It doesn’t matter what gets changed, so long as it’s obvious what it was changed from.
The Fantasy Age system does a lot of things differently, but you can still tell they were working with D&D as their base design. You roll 3d6, but you still add your ability (and a skill bonus if you have the skill) and compare it to a target number.
FYI your line breaks get collapsed. Don’t worry, it’s still comprehensible. Formatting tip: bullet lists would’ve worked here. Alternatively, for a single line break you can end the line with 2 spaces or a backslash (\)
It depends what you mean by “like d&d”. I’ve heard the phrase is used by different groups to mean:

Thank you! Must be an mbin/lemmy diference cause it was correctly formatted for me. I just made it bullet points so it’s clear for all.
