Price varies by the usual BOH rules. You can pay for some of the bundle or all of the bundle. You can chose to pay more. I linked every bundle, so you can check it out. No bundle is more than $40.00.

Happy reading everyone!

So, the question concerns a hypothetical of, let's say I want to run some setting that has absurdly high power level characters who far exceed the human norm, running around.

Let's say, oh, I don't know, Warhammer 40k. Nevermind that it has its own systems - not the point right now.

Let's say I have, I don't know, Primarchs dueling. Or a member of the Adeptus Custodes fighting a Daemon Prince.

In both of those cases, both combatants would have sufficiently high superhuman stats that, theoretically, you can end up in a situation where they can just repeatedly, reliably, dodge each other's attacks, because the attack roll has no bearing on whether or not you can use an Active Defense, outside of critical hits.

So then, are there ways in-system to penalize the enemy's defenses to try and get past the above potential issue, where two superhuman combatants of high skill will just never actually hit each other outside of critical hits?

UPD: DECEPTIVE ATTACK EXISTS LMAO

Hello there,

does there exist a public template for writing supplements that follow SJG style?

I want to restyle my adaptations to follow the usual GURPS style.

I think it's safe to say Robocop's about TL9, so I could get myself a combat hardsuit at a third of my starting funds or a single character point of Signature Gear. That's 50 points of DR that I can take off and put back on when I like.

But I don't want to have an armor I can take off and put back on. That feels weird, like C-3PO in Episode 1. I'm a robocop, I want it to be a part of my own body. And this is where it becomes a problem.

50 points of Damage Resistance, with Can't Wear Armor limitation, is... 150 points. That's insane. I could never afford it. Even just 10 points would cost me 30, and 10 points of DR is nothing on TL9.

Basically, I'd be paying 150 times more to have something that's mostly mechanically the same except slightly worse in the aspect that I'm stuck with it, for the sake of flavour. I'd like to cut that cost a little bit more. Any ideas?

A monthly post to share your maps, tokens, and other image files with the GURPS community.

Just wondering what all someone would throw together for a GURPS version of this fellow from Final Fantasy or if anyone has already made him before
Sephiroth :Core Attributes & Advantages>? The Masamune, Powers & Magic (Materia Simulation)

I'm not the most familiar with this character so the overview i have here might be missing things that could otherwise be included in a statblock of his?

Anyone have links or ideas on something like this?

Any good oneshots for first time players and GM using just GURPS Lite? I’m looking for something similar to QuickStarts from other games where it lets you dip your toes into the system without having to deep dive into the whole system

I am working on a robot companion for a player and I wanted it be a little hovering bot that had no limbs but used a tractor beam (TK) as a manipulator. I was wondering what obvious traits am I missing? More specifically I was looking at No Fine Manipulators cause no arms or legs etc, not even a mouth, but I am pretty sure the TK counts as a manipulator, am I correct, and if so what disadvantage better represents having no arms and legs but accounts for the TK?

Subj.

RAW per High-Tech treats a TL5 arm prosthetic as giving Ham Fisted 2 (One Arm for -40% discount).

Is it reasonable to treat this as giving only half penalties for actions that use both arms, with full penalty only applying if you're doing a one armed action with the prosthetic, or what's the intention here otherwise?
