True20 might also work well, especially the PDF version, since it doesn't have unrealistic things like escalating Toughness saves.
Invoking "realism" in the above sentence was deliberate, by the way. Especially in the later books you get the feeling that despite the comedy and the slapstick, Discworld is relatively "realistic" - more so than most other fantasy settings out there. People still bleed and even die. No one is really invulnerable, and ultra-cinematic stunts are a rarity (it should be noted that some of the most badass fighters in the setting are more than a hundred years old with lots of age-related health problems, not to mention dead.
And magic seems to be very fatiguing, so the True20 magic system should work fine as well.
