Anime d20 Renaissance is meant to be a companion product to [[D20 Rebirth]]. As D20 Rebirth seeks to revitalize the mechanics of the d20 system (most commonly enjoyed in the form of Dungeons and Dragons, 3rd edition or 3.5), so does Anime d20 Renaissance seek to revitalize the Anime d20 variant (most commonly enjoyed in the form of Big Eyes, Small Mouth d20, in conjunction with D&D 3rd). | Anime d20 Renaissance is meant to be a companion product to [[D20 Rebirth]].

| - | + | This version dumps a ''lot'' of Anime d20 assumptions - such as the elimination of gold and items being switched to point-based - in favor of tighter integration with [[D20 Rebirth]] and it's assumptions (which are mostly similar to those of the normal d20 system). In addition, it provides character points much more rapidly, but makes many things cost more in turn. Attributes and Defects have been replaced with Tags (which can be ''massively'' more ornate than the old Attributes or Defects, loaded to the brim with modifiers), which also replace some Feats, but not Skills. In other words, your copy of the Anime d20 SRD is useless here. | |

It is especially suited to play in Gestalt campaigns, and even includes new variations on Gestalt. This point-buy even goes into things as basic as character stat generation - where the player chooses how much control over stats they are willing to take, or how strong they want the rolls to be (at a cost, of course). |

As such, it is virtually guaranteed that there are hundreds of ways to break these rules wide open. Thus, be reminded that ''no ruleset, especially not this one is an excuse for you to be a twinking asshole towards your fellow players or the DM.'' If your group loves to twink, go nuts. | + | |
