That goes double if you're trying to cast it.Massive Damage Threshold as Henry mentions is on a sliding scale to fit your grittiness, but suffice it to say that a good hit will trigger a save. And Saves in GT are lower than Core as well.I don't have Modern so I can olny compare it to Core. But it has that flexibility of Modern in building a character but to an even greater exent.But as Wulf says in the book, this is a toolbox. You choose how gritty you want it to be. There's a defense bonus for each class. But one option sets when you get to apply it: all the time or you can lose the DB if caught flat footed. The Horror rules rock. Undead aren't that bad in Core. in GT, whoa nelly. Half the time you end up running for your life, which is as it should be. But there again you can choose how severe the rolls will be based on.You can use GT to tweak out the system until it does what you want it to. Take a peek, it's well worth the price of admission.</blockquote>
