BESMd20 tries too hard to NOT be like d20 (facing, spacing, range, etc.) and make my job as a DM harder than ever, since I have to constantly tell players "no, I'm not allowing that" and end up arguing. No, you can NOT go 50 MPH with a rank of Speed. BRO-KEN! I looked at Monk and Barbarian and ruled that you can go +10 ft. per round per rank. Flight was even worse, as it seemed you got (good) or (perfect) speed right from the get-go. It completely ignores the fact that D&D and d20m is made with some kind of miniature play. Heck, it doesn't even tell you how big your mecha starts off, or that you should have SOME kind of Level Adjustment for being a Construct race (+1 or +2 minimum!). I had to remove ALL of the combat skills and keep the current feat/proficiency system in place because that's just how it is. Combat was easy to ignore, since it's just an add-on variant, rather than forced upon you.But yes, if I were JUST playing an anime game, it probably wouldn't matter, and the book would go just fine. But I'm not, and the book was advertised as being compatable with D&D, so that's what I'm expecting. Hence, I was disappointed. And I bought both versions of the book. But I'm going to make it work for me by doing a write-up of all of the classes and attributes and make them balanced for D&D.Chris</blockquote>
