Now, as to a BESM conversion: Would that really work for a wildly diverse setting like Rifts, given Tri-Stat's closed scale?

Yes, BESM handles it very well. In fact, BESM has scaling it it through the various attributes like Super Strength.

BESM needs to do this to handle both Mecha and people with the same system. This is essentially what Rifts requires as well (Dragons and such being on the scale of Mecha and the whole "industrial humanity" versus "magic and monsters" being a key theme of Rifts).

More practically, I have long considered the Phase World books to be the best BESM supplements out there.
