===Abilities===
As this is intended to be a cosmic horror lite setting, mortal characters will not necessarily be the unstoppable juggernauts of conventional D&D, although not hopefully as squishy as in full cosmic horror. Mortal characters will use the elite ability array (which never seemed all that elite): 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8. Mortal characters will be unable to permanently raise any ability score above 20. Non-mortal characters may or may not be so limited.
===Class Levels===
Possibly use a form of Epic 6, Epic 8, or Epic 10. Use Feats to advance thereafter.
===5e/pathfinder mechanics===
Cantrips as main caster ability; more powerful effects require Invocations (limited use, power points?) and Rituals (long term, require specific ingredients, multiple individuals).
Tome of battle inspiration for fighters and rogues?
