    So if your character abilities aren’t just multipliers for a number-based system under the hood, it’s not an RPG?

      Generally speaking, yeah.

      There are no hard and fast rules about assigning genres, it’s more about which genre is it closest to. And the closer you get to D&D, the more it resembles an RPG.
