Re: [RPG]: Big Eyes Small Mouth (BESM) Third Edition, reviewed by C.W.Richeson (5/4)
I've just been skimming through my copy and have noticed that, unless you have either the |i]Brutal[/i] combat technique and/or a weapon attribute at level 1+, neither superstrength or massive damage will affect the damage you do in any way at all. By default, a punch from King Kong inflicts the exact same damage as a punch from a small wiry guy with the same ACV. In fact, the damage system is even more fucked than it was in previous versions due to Weapon level and Damage Multiplier being multiplied together (rather than added) to determine the base damage.
Other than that, the layout's very good but there's way too much space wasted on full-page splash pictures most of which aren't even good enough to deserve being reproduced in postage-stamp size. A shame since that space could have been used for example NPCs and creatures.
