I'd call it a mix of point-based and class-based, in that order of emphasis.Is it a class-based system, point-based, or something else?
The class-based portion comes from your character's insight rank, which determines what school techniques they know, be it martial-based for the bushi schools or how potent and how effectively the spells a shugenja casts are.
But other than that, it's all point-based, with the XP gained being spent directly to improve your ability scores and skill ranks as well as pick up other incidentials such as kiho (monk-type stuff that's hard to qualify for if you're not a monk) or katas.
