GURPS seems to draw those with those psychopathologies...Much like how Rifts draws a certain type of munchkinish fanbase..GURPS was never a three stat game. Specifically because TFT was, and the lack of separation between fatigue and injury was a common fan complaint about TFT, as was the lack of an Constitution/Endurance/Stamina type stat.Plus, despite it being the most combat used number in the game, MA (movement allowance) isn't counted as a stat; nor was it in TFT.<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>System</td><td>TFT</td><td>GURPS</td></tr><tr><td>Core Stats</td><td>ST DX IQ </td><td>ST DX IQ HT</td></tr><tr><td>Secondary</td><td>MA AV</td><td>MA PD DR</td></tr><tr><td>difficulty model</td><td>xd6 <= Att, x in range 0-5.</td><td>3d6<= skill or attribute</td></tr><tr><td>Skill Model</td><td>skill type talents reduce difficulty by a die</td><td>skills set TNs for rolls.

Once he sat down to it, HT was his first add-on</blockquote>
