Does anyone know anywhere in the books where there's a damage formula based on a hot object's temperature?

Like... How do you calculate how much damage 160 degrees F vs 300 degrees F vs 1000 degrees F vs 6000 degrees F does?

Hello! I've gotten into gurps in the last month or so, mostly fantasy, and decided that I wanted too try out something more modern with guns and the like. So, what I propose is thus: I would like a post-apocalyptic type setting, preferably fallout, where we play as rookie wastelanders trying too survive. I'm thinking that our starting character points is like (20-50). I think us starting enslaved or as simple farmers and escaping something (Some catalyst) for our journey would be cool.

We can discuss kinks later as I'm not sure if it's allowed. We currently have a: Lesbian, Bisexual, and Pansexual.. so a gm capable of playing either gender is preferable, but not entirely necessary. We technically have someone willing too gm, but they would like too TRY as a player first. If you're interested, please reach out. (And if this is against the rules bonk me.)

Also, no ai.

When you do a skill check in GURPs do you just roll for success or do you use the difference between the target number and the roll to determine the degree of failure or success?

For example if youre trying to jump over a river and you miss your target roll by 1 then you might just get wet, but if you miss by 5 you might get swept down stream?

Alright, so I'm trying to gauge how much damage an attack a character of mine has needs to be at minimum capable of.

Said attack can reduce even a peak human clothed in the best modern fire-retardant body armour to ash within a single second. (so in other words, do 220 damage through whatever DR the armor has within a single second)

With this in mind, what's the best body armour TL8 has against fire specifically?

Hello, I'm a really new player to GURPS. I'm a part of a small group that is starting to learn GURPS today, and could anyone here explain to me in real slow-brain terms how to achieve reality-bending through modular abilities? I was hoping it could be speech-dependent to cheepen it up. Any help will be appreciated

The question I have here is what exactly "breaks" this?

Like if you where wearing a full body baseball mascot costume, even with the helmet having no eye holes.. are you perceived.

If you're in a cardboard box, like solid snake, are you preceived even while the box is flat against the ground?

Or if you got into a coffin and closed the lid?

My players stack limitations on everything under the sun. One has Altered Time Rate 2 for 40 points, and the other has Alternate Form (Dragon) for only 17 points. They each have a 125-point budget, but their powers are worth far more than that. Is this the intended GURPS experience, or are my players abusing the system? (4th Edition)

I am a very new GM and would appreciate the minimum book require
