.... and so far. No bounties on our heads. Velk is in so much trouble. ;)

Quick! Someone send Rel to this thread!

By Jove, I think he's got it! ;) Which is to say - it looks good. I think, like any game, the more you fiddle around with making characters and testing them out in combat and game - the more you'll learn how the system works and any min-maxing techniques you want. You may want to play with...

There we go, that looks *much* better. And yeah, that's a pretty kick-butt character there. Design wise in GURPS many times a character design will feature a *lot* of skills. My usual characters tend to have nearly 20 or 25 skills all at decent levels, average ST, HT and high DX, IQ. But then...

You may wish to look at the bell curve vs. straight die roll information you can find here: http://www.darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/systemdesign/dice-methods.html Also, this forum conversation may help as well: http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread.php?t=17050&highlight=bell+curve Now I *AM*...

Not really in my experience. Gurps encourages you to make your own skills, advantages and disadvantages. So long as you and the players agree that the point cost is fair - you're free to make anything you want. Improvising on the rules is a little trickier if you're not familar with them... but...

Honestly the way my players play - unconscious is about the same as dead - mostly from a bad case of "I shoot him in the head while he's out".

There are ways around the deadly problem (I added those to my post above) ;)

No no - in fact the exact opposite. What I said was " even at high level GURPS is deadly." Your hit points don't scale with experience points unless you specifically buy up your health to make yourself able to survive more damage - this is a complete opposite of how it operates in d20 systems...

Aye, if you don't have the source books up front it can be pricey. Thankfully a lot of 3rd edition stuff is out there used and at least basically compatible with 4th. How much GURPS experience do you have as a DM if any?

Ok. Start by knowing that when you walk into GURPS you're walking into a game where you are handed tools and told : "Do what you want with them - it's your game." As a GM you're going to making a number of up front decisions and there's a chunk of initial work you'll have to handle. You *will*...

So a continual stream of "Nuts. nutsnutsnuts... nuts." is dwarven cursing? ;)

*confused headtilt* != means "does not equal" ... Aka, I think we're on the same page here and you may have misread my post up there. ;)

That and it is fairly important to remember that political power != character levels. So they could work the political scene even without levels, so you can start them on it fairly early if you like. :)

Politics? There's always politics in a city that size, and there may be a political faction particularly associated with the army itself even. You may want to play it up like some of the Roman politics did. Whoever led the army ruled in the background, and whoever *fed* the army was generally...

That succubus earned it.

I was playing a succubus - and no one else in the party knew. She was rather firmly under disguise and items she had and the location we were at kept detect evil from being a problem (smack dab in the middle of Baator). We got an opportunity to raid a magic shop and told to presume anything of a...

Shemmy: Don't forget the heavy magic Clueless got his paws on...

I've not had it come up in a DnD game, most of the folks who like to play cleric in our group like to play the 'I kick rear for my god/dess' sorts. Once or twice my character has had a talk with the cleric about party direction and alignment issues, but only for my current Planescape game, and...

vs. Monsters uses a card system? I'll admit I'm unfamiliar with it...
