I have been inspired to run a pencil and paper rpg based on The Kingdom of Loathing. So far it looks like I'll be using Tri-Stat d12 mixed with bits of my still in development roleplaying system.

To simulate ascension you will be able to purchase skills from every class but non-class skills will be harder to acquire.

Tri-Stat is class- and level-less so I will be using the experience table from my system.

Stats will increase like they do in HackMaster and like they will in my system: fractionally at each level.

Combat will be tri-stat instead of KoL to minimize paperwork.

I'm still not sure how to calculate HP and MP since they are calculated differenly in TS and KoL.

I could also use help converting the skills. I'm making good progress on Turtle Tamer. Once I finish it, I'll post the results here so others can help me with classes I'm not familiar with.

HP and MP Calculations

In KoL HP is calculated thus:

CEILING(
FLOOR((M + 3) × C) + P,
FLOOR(m × C))

M=buffed Mus
m=base Mus
C=1.5 for Mus classes; 1 otherwise
P=total of +HP bonuses

MP is calculated the same way; just substitue Mysticality for Muscle.

----------------------------------------------

In Tri-Stat HP=5*(Body+Soul) and MP=5*(Mind+Soul).

----------------------------------------------

Since Muscle, Mysticality, and Moxie don't relate directly to Body, Mind, and Soul I have to come up with a system of my own.

    Here's what I've come up with so far:
  • HP ?= 5(Mus+Mox) || MP ?= 5(Mys+Mox)
    Pretty much TS standard; class bonuses could also be added
  • HP ?= 5(Mus+Primary) || MP ?= 5(Mys+Primary)
    adds your highest stat to the appropriate stat
  • HP ?= 5(Mus+Primary) || MP ?= 5(Mys+Secondary) || (non-mages)
    HP ?= 5(Mus+Secondary) || MP ?= 5(Mys+Primary) = 10*Mys || (mages)
    Mages get lots of MP not so much HP; Mus and Mox classes get the reverse

Thank for the help everyone but working on this project gave me the inspiration I needed to fix my roleplaying system. Thus I'm putting this project on hold to work on one that's more important to me and can possibly help me provide for my family.
