[QUOTE="The Goblin King, post: 1346152, member: 10970"] 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. :) [/QUOTE]
