Mongoose's Elric RPG - Cover by Quilliams Here

Following the several posts on the Elric/Stormbringer 5th system, let me add that there are in fact many things in the Conan RPG which connect with the BRPG system:
- Magic points (called Power Point) to cast spells
- Armors are used for damage reduction rather than to augment the "To Hit" ratio.
- Weapons have structural points and may break during fight
- Weapons also have an Armor Piercing value which make some weapon better than other against armors
- There is a massive damage rules which is very akin to Major Wound in Elric! That is: if you take at least 25 HP of real damage in one strike you have to roll against your CON or die.

I am no D20 afficionados but Conan RPG (which is D20 OGL) broke the line between D20 and BRPG with much subtleties.
 
I don't belong to any system and each has its strength. Though I never like levels feats, for instance, are a great improvement in the D20.
