[QUOTE="Claudius Gaius, post: 3968756, member: 57946"] Ah, the original Palladium/Arduin system. It's been a long time... Only problem with it is it tends to work with some character types and not others. How do you do things like "never missed" with a magic-missile specialist? Not that it can't be done, but each bonus and penalty you put in will shape the characters decisions and tactics. For example, the origianl Robotech game used this kind of system: one of the biggest bonuses available was for "rescuing a comrade". We had one character who took some abilities that turned out to be very useful in rescuing his friends. so he leveled faster, which made him better at rescuing his friends, which made him gain levels faster... Secondarily, breaking everything down is a big project. You miught just want to adapt one of the systems which has done it already: BESM is good for anime games (SRD version is free), mutants and masterminds is good for superheroes, and Eclipse: The Codex Persona is good for 3.0-3.5 style fantasy (and the shareware version is free).
