[QUOTE="Scurvy_Platypus, post: 4689550, member: 43283"] You could always go with the Anime SRD, which can be fould here: [url=http://www.opengamingfoundation.org/animesrd.html]SYSTEM REFERENCE DOCUMENT[/url] or downloaded in an easy to read pdf form here: [url=http://www.faterpg.com/dl/]FateRPG.Com: Fate: Fantastic Adventures in Tabletop Entertainment (TM)[/url] (Non Fate downloads) The Anime SRD(BESMd20) is set up as a level based system, with character points being used to purchase skills, feats, and abilities. The default classes of the Anime SRD are geared more towards an "anime" game, but they do include a conversion of the classic D&D fantasy characters into the point-based system. Also, they have a class called the "Adventurer" class, which is perfect to use if you want to go for the more generic/skill based approach. Just have everyone be an Adventurer class, and they can spend their 5 CP every level however they want. Combat is also skill based, instead of the usual D&D AC-based approach. If you're just wanting some skill-based magic, you can always go for Green Ronin's True Sorcery book, or my personal pick from Misfit Studios: [url=http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?from_home=1&it=1&motds_id=414&products_id=12636]RPGNow.com - Misfit Studios - Unusual Core Classes: The Spellweaver[/url] It's cheap, it's easy, it seems to work just fine, and they give you all the SRD spells already converted over to the skill based system for you. Hard to go wrong. [/QUOTE]
