BESM D20 question

[Aaziroth]

Hi all, I hope this is right place for this...

If anyone can help with this it would be appreciated... in Besm d20 under attributes, they were vague for servant... what happens if a player's servant dies? Do they automatically get a new one? Do they have to pay for it again? If they do get a new one, how soon or long in game til it shows up, and does the player or GM design it?

I imagine that it's left intentionally vague, probably as a servant purchased with such points should generally have a level of plot immunity.

If the servant died then I would allow the player to redistribute the points elsewhere when it made sense narratively.

Typically, BESM is "once you've paid for it, it's yours," so if a PC's servant dies, they get another ("free")--though there may be other consequences at the DM's discretion. You can get a new servant at any time. There's nothing RAW for whether the player or GM designs it AFAIK.

Thnx guys, but came across something else... is it just me or does it seem as if special attacks are broken? From what I gather you can use special attacks endlessly, granted once per round unless you buy flurry, but as it doesn't cost any energy points unless you buy the disadvantage you can basically use them endlessly....

You paid for them. How is that broken?

You don't have to buy the finite ammo limit for your firearms, either; what's your problem?

Just seems to Besm bit broken considering a straight up unmodified special attack at rank 4 does 4D8 damage, and you can use it unlimited times a day albeit once around... granted Besm is an anime based RPG, but all the anime I've seen charas are limited by their management, spirit, etc... you see them tiring out unable to use their powers with out rest, just felt it seemed a bit broken that could do that is all.. lol

That's 16 CP. For 15 CP, I could buy Energy Bonus 1, plus Magic 3. Spending all 30 points of Magic on a Special Attack, I could have a magic spell that does 7d8 damage, and I could cast it at least three times in a row.

Or I could have two Extra Attacks, which I could perform with my katana.
