Review title: Who let this get published??
Product review: Maybe I'm spoiled by other d20 and White Wolf products, but this unholy kludge of d20 and classic BESM is nearly incoherent. They've shoehorned levels onto a system that wasn't designed to use it, they way the stats interact isn't very smooth, and half the standard d20 feats don't work right anyway--they have to be replaced with other character features. Combat is resolved with opposed skill checks instead of the d20-standard attack roll vs. Armor Class. This isn't d20--this is somthing that's trying to look superfically like d20.We've never even played the original BESM, but my gaming group agreed unanimously to use it instead of this product. Take my advice--buy the Revised Second Edition instead. The Tri-Stat system is easy to learn and the game is ten times more coherent than BESM d20.
