This is the original 2006 release of the printed manual for 4D&T.
from wikipedia:
As a successor to 3D&T, a new system named 4D&T was published in 2006 by Editora JBC (Brazilian publisher of manga). It completely dropped 3D&T's own fast, simple system in favour of the d20 System. Although it has succeeded on its own, it has been poorly received by 3D&T players, given the original purpose of the system was to be as simple as possible.

user comment:
4D&T adopts the character structure and most game mechanics of the d20 System &endash;target numbers, six ability scores, class-and-level, OGL license, etc.&endash; but retains the use of six-sided dice (4d6) instead of the eponymous d20.
