''BESM'' uses the [[ThreeStatSystem Tri-Stat System]] designed by Guardians of Order, and was their flagship product for that system. Tri-Stat is a PointBuildSystem where characters are defined by three statistics: Body, Mind and Soul, as well as a number of Attributes and Defects. A UsefulNotes/D20System version of the game was also released around the time of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons 3.5''. GOO had a third edition of ''BESM'' ready when it collapsed. The rights were sold to the game company White Wolf, which published it (for a short while anyway; the now discontinued third edition book sells for over $100 on the Internet, but you can buy .pdfs) and now provides what support remains for the Tri-Stat system.

Added DiffLines:
* AlienNonInterferenceClause: Downplayed with Aradia's College of Emissaries; while their goal is to further the cause of good on other worlds, they make an active effort to avoid being the "white-winged saviors of the multiverse", and as such emissaries are expected to mostly limit their actions to support, mentoring and guardianship roles, limiting any direct interference (to the best of their ability) to the minimum required to allow other beings to exercise self-determination. (The description of these guidelines makes a point of noting that they are ''obviously'' not expected to refuse to help against civilization-destroying natural disasters in the name of "non-interference".)

* UnwantedHarem: Guy/Girl Magnet (renamed simply "Magnet" in 4th Edition) is a Defect that makes your character the center of one of these. The game text makes it clear that just attracting cute guys and/or girls isn't enough; they have to be obsessed and combatitive enough to cause the character trouble on a regular basis, and the character has to be weak-willed enough not to just resolve the situation with "extreme measures".

* AwesomeButImpractical: The Alternate Form attribute, used to represent {{Magical Girl}}s, {{Henshin Hero}}es, and even characters like ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk. It's one of many "trade-in" abilities where you exchange general Character Points to a special kind of CP that are more limited, but you get more of them. The problem is that the exchange rate is so poor (in 3rd Edition, you pay 9 to get 10) that you need to give the Alternate Form some serious drawbacks or else it'll be laughably weak. The designers' intent ws that the character's powered form would be their primary, while their "civilian form" would be the one built with Alternate Form, but this wasn't made clear until 4th Edition.

There are two other kinds of supplements produced by Guardians of Order. Stand-alone game worlds such as ''Uresia: The Grave of Heaven'' and ''Centauri Knights'', and licensed supplements based on various anime series, such as ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'', ''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain'' and ''Manga/SailorMoon''. Licensed supplements that were mostly or completely background information about the show's world were released with the misleading title of "Ultimate Fan Guide".
