So OP how does the stat and skill systems work?

Well, the stat system works somewhat similarly to a mixture of D&D 3.5 and TES oblivion, with some unique peculiarities of its own.
There are a number of skills, mostly martial, magical and craftsmanship/survival based.
Leveling relevant skills will eventually level up stats, as well as direct application of the stat.
There is general experience, gained by completing quests and direct stat application. that counts only towards character level and stat level, and skill experience, that counts towards stat level, general level, and skill level, though skill experience generally only affects the first two in the terms of "hey skill x went up y levels, stat a gained a level/ is closer to gaining a level/ you gained a general level!"

Sweet, how do you determine encounters with a d20?

Does it work like the entire encounter will be completely different based on what the roll is a so high rolls = easier encounters or maybe a table of planned encounters such as 1-5 is blah, 6-14 is blah, and 15-20 is blah? Or does a high roll negate any encounters or perhaps it is a friendly encounter such as one with an npc? (although high rolls in that scenario could effectively lower hostile encounter rate dramatically.) Or does it just give an advantage in the planned encounter?

Just some thoughts, patiently waiting a response.

Table of plan encounters.
the higher the number, it's more likely to be an npc, or just as hard but more likely to be rewarding.
initiative is a separate roll.

anything else you wanna know?

Yeah sure how do spells work and how do we learn them? (Mana system also?)

Spells you learn by being taught, by choosing to learn one when leveling up the relevant spell school, by finding/ looting spellbooks, by using an enchanted thing often enough to learn its spell, by studying spell scrolls instead of using them, and a couple of other ways.

And the mana system works this way
Out of comabt, you regain mana over time, up to 3/4 of your total mana. Upon sleeping 5 or more hours,, your mana returns to full.
you ca also instantly refill mana with potion and certain special foods or items.

You attempt to identify the ring.

Critical failure! You accidentally choke to death on the ring after attempting a bite test.

Critical success! You identify a ring of automatic resurrection. The ring activates, and you are resurrected. The enchantment is spent.
