Big Eyes Small Mouth and Fuzion
I've was looking at BESM last night and I noticed a startling similarity to Fuzion. Most notably, I liked the ad/disad system employed in BESM.
What follows is a conversion of BESM to Fuzion.
Let's start with the stats:
BESM defines characteristics in the following way
Body (equivalent to Physical and Combat, covers Strength, Body, Constitution, Move, Dexterity, and Reflexes)
Mind (equivalent to Mental, covers Intelligence, Presence, Willpower, and Technique)
Soul (Soul represents the inner harmony of the character, but more than just Willpower. There is no Fuzion equivalent)
Combat Skill = average of body+mind+soul
Health = (body+soul)x5 (compare to Fuzion's Body x 5)
Stats are defined from 0 to 12, sort of..
| 0 | completely and utterly useless |
| 1 | Inept |
| 2 | Significantly below human average |
| 3 | Below human average |
| 4 | Average human adult |
| 5 | Above human average |
| 6 | Significantly above human average |
| 7 | Highly capable |
| 8 | Extremely capable |
| 9 | Best in the land |
| 10 | World Class ability |
| 11 | Legendery Ability |
| 12 | Best in the universe |
As you can see, the BESM stats map FAIRLY consistently to Fuzion's stats. Use the following formulae for converting BESM characters to Fuzion:
Body x 3 = a pool of points to split between Physical, Combat, and Move statistics
(Mind + Soul) / 2 = a pool of points to split between Mental statistics.
Determine Fuzion secondary characteristics and skills in the normal way.
