Resource Management Systems

The more mechanical thinking required, the worse the immersion will be. Leave that stuff to board games, not roleplay.

Amber Diceless, and its two children, Lords of Gossamer and Shadow, and Lords of Olympus, all have the diceless resource strategy thing going on.

Marvel Universe RPG.

I mean it needs some hefty houseruling, but it's possibly the most satisfying system I've played in a while.

Depending on the rules-lightness you want.

What I did (granted, the game had dice still) was that each character had characteristic points.

Let's say every character has 3 characteristics at base, like "Brave, Impulsive, Loudmouthed". Wanting to use any of these characteristics requires a single characteristic point, of which you have, say, 5 at the beginning of the game. These only regenerated, BTW, by taking negatives from the same characteristics (Such as being unnecessarily foolhardy for "Brave")

In my game you got bonus for it, but in your game, it could be the whole thing.

You could make the Attributes (Say, the three basic ones, Body, Mind, Soul) into a pool of points that a player can use. And actions can be boosted by giving out additional points, and sometimes using additional points would be necessary (harder checks).

But no, I don't know any systems that use that or anything similar. Happy Homebrewing!
