Storyteller system. I consider D&D the kiddies version of table top where kids play before they grow up. Then when you graduate in experience you go to the storyteller. Which includes world of darkness and Exalted. 3rd edition is absolutely glorious and I use it to power campaigns from, high fantasy to hyper advanced sci-fi. It's extremely "modable" which is what I've done. I've gone so far as to write an entire campaign book that converts exalted to my groups custom canon and adapts it to use battlemaps.
And if you're thinking I don't know d&d enough, I also wrote a 600 page manual for D&D that does the same thing. Between the two, the exalted system has proven to be infinitely more fun for both me and my players. But it requires pros. Elite imagination because if you are not creative as fuck, you will not even scratch the capability of the Exalted system.
From vanilla it is a power fantasy system inspired by wuxia. Check it out on drivethru rpg. 3rd edition is what you want, but you will want to trap 2nd too if you want to dive into official canon lore and play its story. Onyx Path makes it. Formerly from whitwolf before things went fucky.
