OK, this obviously some kind of inner OCD talking here. So bear with me.

I got the PDF today for 4E Revised from the Ring of Fire Kickstarter. Monumental effort on the part of SJG.

But there is a difference between a PDF you generate to send to a printer, and one you read on a tablet/computer.

These PDFs have an "inner" and "outer" margin, which is expected to account for the binding in a hardback book. But, when viewed on a tablet, it shifts the content of the page to the left on the left pages and to the right on right pages. I think it looks better to have the content dead-center on the screen on all pages. When I turn pages and see the content shift a little left of right from the previous page, it messes with my world a little.

Recently made two guns for a friend using the Gun Stats book, and I thought I would share them. The RSh-12 is the "Requium" from RE9. Both of these fire from the lower chamber in the cylinder, and in order to represent this lowering of recoil, I treat it as having an aggressive muzzle break. If this doesn't appeal to you, then the Mateba has a recoil of 4 and a ST of 13, while the RSh-12 has a recoil of 7 and a ST of 15.

Guns (Pistol)

TL | Dmg | Acc | Range | Weight | RoF | Shots | Bulk | Rcl | ST | Cost | LC | Notes

Mateba, .454 Casull | 8 | 5d-1 pi+ | 2 | 270/2970 | 3.6/0.4 | 3 | 6(3i) | -2 | 3 | 11 | $1000 | 3 | None

RSh-12, 12.7×55mm STs-130 | 8 | 5d+1 pi+ | 2 | 840/3528 | 5.5/0.6 | 3 | 5(3i) | -3 | 4 | 13 | $1,500 | 3 | Accessory Rail, Ammo is Subsonic, Cylinder seals against barrel so it can be suppressed

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?
