Has anyone looked at BESM D20? I am thinking of using it as a base for a FF style game. I just have to rename some stuff and come up with spell lists.
Adventurer = ? Might just keep the name as it is.
Dynamic Sorcerer = White Mage, Black Mage, and Red Mage
Giant Robot = Will probably leave this one alone. IIRC there is a robot that joins you in some FF game.
Gun Bunny = Archer. I will give them something else instead of the John Woo style shooting they get later on.
Hot Rod = Cavalry? Mounted Warrior? Knight? I will just have to alter it a bit to take out the motorcycles.
Magical Girl = Ugh. If I can come up with a really good name I might keep it otherwise its out.
Martial Artist = Martial Artist
Mecha Pilot = Not sure if I will change the name. I have D20 Mecha as well so this character could have any vehicle (read: airship) as a 'mecha'.
Ninja = Ninja
Pet Monster Trainer = Summoner
Samurai = Samurai
Sentai Member = I don't remember any examples of this in FF so it might be gone.
Shapechanger = Shapechanger
Student = Another class that might be dropped. Or not.
Tech Genius = Cid. err, I mean Tech Genius.
From the PHB:
Rouge = Thief. Although I'm not sure they are sufficiently different from Ninja to warrant another class. The Ninja is a better fighter but the Thief is better skilled.
Fighter = Fighter. Once again I'm not sure if they are different enough. A Samurai has the same BAB progression, same saves, more skills, less feats then a Fighter.
Barbarian = Berserker
The only thing I'm stuck on is Bards. There are examples of song based magic users in FF but I wanted to make them different from the other mages. I might go the route EverquestRPG took. Its costs 1 MP to cast a song but they have to make skill checks to keep singing.
It does feel kind of odd though. Playing an anime D&D game based on a video game which drew inspiration from the old D&D game.
