Quote:It probably will come out better. I find the 2d6 scale for BESM a little coarse for Doug, and if SAS is closer to what I've seen of the generic Tri-Stat DX book it might be able to represent his Mage Gift and Field better.
Drenivian:
I'd like to say one thing. I know I asked to do the SAS trans, which is apparently tri-stat, I just haven't gotten the SAS book yet. I still plan on doing one, it may come out a little better than this BESM, it may not. The official song list actually helped me work out the floating power point pool for his metatalent.
After re-reading the V&V to Fuzion notes, I think I ought to tack on some levels of Not So Strong to scale down his Body stat. This leaves him with an effective strength of 6, still above human average (4), but not quite so much so. And he's still doing 7 points of damage barehanded, which is almost the shock value of a normal human (8).
I could even make a case for getting rid of most of the combat skills. With a skill of 3 in unarmed defense he has an effective DCV of 13, which is basically unhittable. His unskilled DCV of 10 is bad enough.
For Bob: Should the polykev knuckles in his gloves add extra damage to his punches or just keep him from smashing his hands to pieces against things like boomers?
After looking at the weapons chart again I think the Helmet's armour could be upped by two levels of Light Armour (you can mix both types) giving it a total armour of 15.
A light pistol does (5 ACV) / 2 for low penetration, a heavy pistol does 10 ACV points of damage, and a machine gun does 15 ACV.
His polykev suit should probably be around level 3 or 4 heavy armour with the hidden attribute. This would stop either 12 or 16 points or damage.
And because I note that I didn't explain them earlier. ACV is Attack Combat Value, roll under it on 2d6 to hit. DCV is Defense Combat Value, roll under it to not be hit.
Revisions:
Add
Not So Strong for 1BP
Helmet gets Light Armour lvl 2 (2pts) stops 4 points
Edit
Magical Sciences (Thaumetology) for 2 points per level
Replace Archery with Heavy Weapons (5 pts a level)
