[QUOTE="qstor, post: 62443, member: 1489"] As a DM I enjoy the "realistic" aspects of GURPS combat. Even though I have been playing D&D for over a year. I still have problems with combat at higher levels. As d20 modern is being developed I hope it changes somewhat. 20th level fighter takes three rounds from an M16. Ok take your damage and now make your Fort save at +18 or what ever.... No hit location tables in D&D is another problem I have. GURPS has detailed hit location tables. Add these in as house rules and D&D becomes less d20 and more a house rules game. As a player as mentioned before I love the flexibility in GURPS. Your fighter can have a good pick lock score and a very decent to hit with a 100 point character. I'm glad that the skill system in D&D allows characters to take non class skills. That way I have give my fighter knowledge (history) or Pick Pocket. But the complexity of the combat gets me down as a DM. And personaly I dont have enough rules knowledge to run a very good game and not get challenged on rulings by a GURPS rules lawyer.
