>>119317 Is that strong? The build is very focused in one area with near to no combat skills. Maybe I should remove some of those skills and invest more into combat.

>>119318 Generally speaking, I would not super-specialize unless I know the system well enough. Playing to one's sole skill (when that it is own minigame with extra requirements on knowledge of the game mechanics) to offset one's many weaknesses can be challenging.
But I am not involved in your game. If your party and DM are fine with it, you shouldn't let my words discourage you.

I'll probably post the roll20 link tonight.
>>119318 I only have two issues:
1) The skills usually have like an Easy, Medium, Hard, Very Hard kind of thing, I'm assuming you're going with easy for all of them (which makes it at +0) which is why the skills are like, really high
2) You need a ranged attack if you want to be viable in this game. Or at least stealth so you can use that wrench of your as a club.
All of this will be rememdied tomorrow so let's not worry about it too much.

>>119320 Well actually you might not need stealth, you can still use that wrench as a makeshift weapon, but I would recommend a pistol or a submachine gun.
But we don't have to worry about it for right now.

Here is where we're going to be playing.
Remember, this is just a session #0 and just getting the characters ready and get like a general overview of how GURPS is played.

>>119388 >>119389 How does armor work in gurps?
Anonymous 02/05/24 (Mon) 23:43:09 No. 119425 >>119432 >>119464
>>119423 Basically it negates damage.
Like if someone shot him and it hits, and the damage is like... let's say 40 (7d6) he'll take 5 damage.
Plus its like dwarf fortress adventure mode where combat is like, you can target a limb at -2 for a targeted and minus the hit location.
So for example, Combat Medic getting hit in the torso, damage is 40, it negates 35 of the damage.
Any of this make sense?

>>119423 I think to make it more interesting, there should be HP for the armor so it isn't totally OP.
:^)
It's GURPS, just make it consistent.

>>119426 fok
Also, I discovered talents exist. This has lead me to re-evaluate my prior choices and shuffle some stuff around, as well as change post-combat shakes for thalassophobia because what good is a medic that gets frozen after combat? I already had selected cannot float previously, so it makes sense.

>>119425 If you rolled 40 with 7D6, I'd call you a damn cheat.

>>119432 :^) there's a 0.01% chance of it being rolled, so it could happen.
>>119431 That's fine, just need the character finalized by Saturday.

>>119425 No, that explanation is detailed but doesn't explain the math behind it.
Anonymous 02/06/24 (Tue) 18:25:28 No. 119465 >>119466
>>119464 it's like the basic manual says
>Subtract DR from basic damage. really, just that
in this case if someone hits me in the torso with an attack, and rolls for a certain amount of damage, then when you have the result you do X-35 in this case, and that's it
you can check it our yourself in the basic set pg. 378-79
>Example : Filthy Pierre is struck by an axe, which does cutting damage. His attacker’s basic damage roll is 7, but Pierre is wearing DR 2 leather armor, so he suffers 5 points of penetrating damage. Anonymous 02/06/24 (Tue) 19:15:57 No. 119466 >>119467 >>119468 >>119532
>>119465 So if someone rolls less than that it does no damage?

Sent off in the company of a settler, his horse and a wagon, we set upon a southward road intermittently patrolled by Nazi scouts, blessed in their absence, riding through the rolling hills and steppe grasses overseen by the thickly forested mountain range further past our goal. We arrived much like the Greek tyrant's leased workforce, welcomed by a number of armed men disinterested in the possibility of paperwork, garrisoned across various posts behind low cover and a shack where they housed their supplies along a crackling radio and we killed them all.

>>119662 >those who wish to roleplay "heroic" children do not have to play less-capable characters - they can create their characters normally. If you want more realism, just put fewer points into the attributes and skills that you think the loli has not grown into yet and instead put them into attributes that you reckon her lolicious genius has unlocked for her.
