Im new to TTRPGs. Ive been reading up on encounter balance and it seems to me that even if you favor with a 70 or 80 percent chance to win every fight eventually theyre just gonna die to luck and theres nothing they can do to avoid it.
Are they supposed to figure out when theyre losing and run away? Im not really sure how to ensure that player combat is fair and rewards smart decision making.

Thanks

Wrote a quick article on some enchanting hacks I have used for my GURPS games. Hope people find it useful!

Would it be possible to create such creature?

it would probably have something like...

Dependency (host's body, constantly) [-150?]

Mind Reading {Only host -30%, Sensory only -20% Sense based (touch) -20%} [+9]

Telecommunication (Telesend) {Only host -30%, Cosmic: No die roll required +100%} [+51] (is this really what I'm looking for???)

+ A template for something like a parasitic planarian, but with an inteligence similar to the human norm

This parasitic... *thing* could be useful if it had access to knowledge or powers that enhance the host's capacities

it's either this or inserting such capacities directly into the host's traits and making the whole "has a parasite that talks to them" a quirk + as much increased consumption needed

Eu e meu players estão em dúvida sobre como funciona a cadência de espingarda, que é 2x9

Good morning all, I was thinking of trying to join a gurps game online and was trying to find a gurps discord to do so. All links I've come across are dead, can someone be so kind as to drop a link on this post?

How would a follow-up effect that instantly turns a dead body into an undetectable mist/dust?

My first guess would be to make a follow up innate attack that has like 30d6 burn damage with am accessibility limitation so it only works on lifeless bodies, but this seems overly expensive

anyone have a guide to translating a 3e stat block to 4e? I imagine it’s relatively simple, but I’m not sure what to do with the passive defense and stuff like that
