Tabletop RPG game stuff, gimme your opinion/ideas!

So, I've been working on creating my own pen and paper RPG game, similar to D&D? Not to sell, of course, I just couldn't wrap my head around D&D rules, so I decided to build my own system and own creation. My own world, in fact.

So, Why not post some of it here? tell me what you think!

Take notice that this may be hard to read, as it is copied from the notepad directly

===============
[[Leveling Up]]
===============

Players of Cataclysm will not level up in the traditional Sense. There is no experience points granted for killing monsters or completing quests, and instead the DM has complete
control over character's Leveling up. If the DM feels that the player has done enough work and deserves a level up, then they may grant them one. If the player is having trouble
progressing in the game, the DM may also grant them a level to help them. The maximum level is 20. If a player feels he deserves a Level up, he may request one from the DM, but
the DM has ultimate decision and the player must have a good reason to feel he can level up.

==Important note: It may be a good idea to keep track of the monsters you've killed, as this may help persuade the DM, although it varies from person to person==

To level up, It's suggested the players should:
-Destroy a Boss Monster
-Overcome a great challenge
-Participate in events
-Finish Quests
-Role-play effeciently
-Act effeciently in their role (EX: Leader, healer, tank, etc.)
-Use Clever thinking
-Maintain desired notoriety and Alignment well
-Other acts that may impress the DM and prove you have gained enough experience for a new level.

==========
[[Sanity]]
==========

Sanity is a measure of your character's mental stability and well-being. If your sanity falls low enough, they will start to hallucinate and lash out, with wild consequences.
Sanity can be lost in a numerous amount of ways: Whenever your character spots a Fiend they will take a small sanity loss. Whenever your character is taking a lot of damage at
once, they will lose sanity. If the Creature you're fighting has sanity magic, it can manipulate your sanity. There are plenty of other factors that may result in sanity loss,
so try to be careful! Likewise, The DM may allow the player to restore or overcome sanity through Certain actions, such as being encouraged by party members or restoring
lost health. While this is a good strategy to combat Sanity, Do not rely on it, it is the DM's decision on wether these affect your sanity or not.
The DM is allowed to choose certain hallucinations or effects based on your character and the story.

Sanity as a status is not tracked by numbers, but a rough guess of how well your character is in control of themselves, and their emotional stability at that point in time. There
is no numerical standing, so player interaction with sanity relies mostly on the DM and player interaction. When Sanity reaches critical conditions, however, the player will have
to make a sanity check. If they fail this sanity check, they will lose conciousness. If sanity reaches a hyper critical level, it is possible that the character may kill
themselves if the player fails a sanity check.

===============
[[Rune System]]
===============

The Rune System is a System unique to the Rune-Master class and is also available to all classes as a perk at level 7. Runes are symbols, usually found engraved on rocks or
other sturdy materials, that can be translated into understandable language. The Runes have unique magical properties, and when placed in a paragon with other runes, can form
a spell unique to the Player.
All classes except for the Rune-Master class can only create Rune spells out of given Runes, But A Rune-Master can create his own Runes at certain levels and use them himself, a
powerful ability when used right. Runes tend to translate into one word verbs or nouns that can chain into a spell, For example: Magnorok "FIRE", Ulurath "EXPLOSION",
Ragno "SELF". This leads to the idea of fire exploding from the caster, which can easily be made into a spell. More unique combinations may fizzle out into an unusable spell
or a unique and powerful one.
Runes are placed into Paragons to create spells, The paragons will determine the level of the spell. Until later levels for the Rune-Master, the only available paragons are a
3-level paragon and 4-level paragon. at Higher levels, the Rune-master will be able to craft a 5-level paragon.
It is common to find Rune-Masters with Paragons of power carved into their body, as this is the only way to make Rune Spells usable normally. If you choose not to or cannot carve
a Rune spell onto your body, you must Scribe the spell onto a Scroll that will be burnt out upon use.
The Spells that result from the Rune-system are up to the DM and player's reasoning.
