What system can manage anima characters plus DnD Combat.

Anima combat>DnD "combat" anon...
just /5 the numbers.

GURPS Dungeon Fantasy. It simplifies a bit and streamlines GURPS into making better D&D games than D&D. You could up the default power level (250 points, which in GURPS can give you the man who is the absolute best ever in his field, or somewhat diversified adventurers really good at their stuff) to Anima-levels once you got used to the system a bit. Otherwise just telling people who've never played they have 500 points and 150 points of disadvantages is just a recipe for disaster. DF has "templates", too. In GURPS that's usually a prepared characters with customization options. (So you can, for example, pick either broadsword or axe/mace or spear as main fighting skill, and tactics and leadership or armoury as secondary skill, everything precalculated already)

That's like saying "making better mexican food than taco bell" anon...

So you want non-crunchy combat but crunchy character creation? That doesn't really work.

>>48824504 has the long and short of it. You want simple combat, but you also want more crunch in your characters... crunch that you would see where, exactly? You could tack on subsystems for maneuvers and aspects and powers and shit, but that means combat gets more complicated due to the variety of choices, and that is going to slow down combat quickly.

My suggestion: if you liked *playing* 5e, then *play* 5e. Encourage fleshing out characters beyond the stats given, and encourage the DM to look for homebrew solutions to what factors you thought limited your characters most.

Thank you for the recommendation, ill check out that book first

That doesn't really solves the problem, it just makes the numbers in the problem appear smaller, the problem is combat is a hassle in anima

>>48824504
its worth a shot to try

I read a thread awhile back where someone had the same problem, that 5e was simplified for everyone, and that anima cursed people to be unable to like something so simplified, i agree though, ill look into changing things for character creation then

4e has more mechanical complexity, and in general higher power levels and actual shit to do for martials.

It may be what you need.

>its worth a shot to try
No, not really. It's just a logical impossibility.

4E crunch is pretty small.

Again, anima spoils you crunch wise, like GURPS.

Pathfinder with 3pp is pretty damn anime.

The only problem I see in Anima combat is calculating the damage, there's a formula, once you know that formula (and use a programmable calculator) combat is fast as DnD's.

Probably this, with 3pp PF you have access to tons of options and can come up with almost anything you want while still being D&D.

That or Mutants&Masterminds and create your character's powers from zero.

I found most of my anima fights to go faster than DnD as long as the party is actually using additional defense penalties to their advantage. You don't need to waste time with the combat chart just do Final Attack - Final Defense then check margin of difference vs the opponent's AT*10+20(Absorb) with a calc you can work out final damage in like 10 seconds.
