About This Sheet
The Big Eyes Small Mouth 4E Dyskami Authorized sheet on Roll20 was developed independently with the express consent and approval of Dyskami Publishing. This sheet takes a rules as written (RAW) approach, incorporating feedback and input from Dyskami Publishing and the BESM community.
Currently supported rulebooks are BESM 4E Core, BESM 4E Extras, Absolute Power, and Tri-stat Core. GMs can enforce character sheets to strictly use one of the rulebooks, optional rules, or a customized blend borrowing from each rulebook. In a future release of the sheet, GMs will be able to add their own customizations.
Some of the benefits of using this sheet on Roll20 is automation of the rules, cost accounting, and rolls, to provide players a more immersive role play experience and GMs their sanity. A bridging of crunchy rules with fluid gameplay. For instance, edges and obstacles are automatically calculated for rolls when applied by an Attribute or customization. Attributes, customizations, or Defects that adjust ACV, DCV, or DM are accounted for when attacking or defending. Automation is performed in a way that does not require the Roll02 API. When increasing or decreasing Attribute levels, Character Points are automatically subtracted or reimbursed, accordingly. In fact, much care has been taken to ensure players and GMs only need to bring with them their favorite Dyskami materials to game!
Early Release
This sheet is still in development but is playable. Much of the core rules across BESM, Absolute Power, and Tri-Stat Core are supported and automated, but many optional rules and some Attribute automation still has to be addressed. The reason for providing an early release of the sheet is to collect feedback from GMs and players to help shape the development priorities based on what matters most to the community.
