[QUOTE="JesterOC, post: 7726305, member: 42841"] Mini review: This version of GURPS has been slightly streamlined from the core rules. Concentrating on fantasy, and providing templates that act much like classes we see in Dungeons and Dragons as opposed to traditional GURPS where you have to build your character from the ground up. This template scheme enforces can character specialisation which allows each character a role in which they shine. The GURPS system has two features that set it apart from other many other RPGs. 1) the combat is detailed. Hit location, weapon type, defenders skill, and the damage absorption of armor all come into play. As characters improve in skill, more options open up. As a general rule higher skill levels allow for better odds at called shots, so going for the puncture of the heart or eyes are viable options at high skill. 2) advantages and disadvantages are boosts and banes. -Advantages are much like DnD class features, powers that are more inherent to the nature of the characters rather than based on skills.
