I was going to say this in my previous post, really. The Godzilla Stomp would be considered an "area attack", in that you'd roll you Reflex. Completely addressing all the matters. Your shield and armor can't protect you, all you can do is dive for cover/run out of the way. So, how would Nimble Ned work this situation, he is quick and nimble (duh..), he was running out of the way when Lil' Zilla started raising his leg, he dived out of the Stomp, though barely and maybe a little bruised and heavy breathing now (reflex for half). Conan couldn't make it though, took it all from the massive 10d20 damage... he's still alive? Well... the ground wasn't leveled (cheap, yes...), he was quick enough to get into the lower part (yes, cheap). But he is hurt pretty bad, very bad.. but again, it's Conan, he's not your common army swordsman, but a champion of battle who has fought Dragons and Liches. The common man would get smashed no doubt, as would anyone. The only ones who could come out of this was Nimble Ned (in D&D he struggled a lot thgouh, in Gurps he just stepped out of the way with his Jedi speed 40' step) and Conan, anyone else would've been smashed to death... but with Gurps basic rules anyone with a 14 (FOURTEEN!!!) dodge could easily have made it 90% sure!! (little over 90% chance of rolling 14 or less).YES, there is the bigger-than-you rule, but it's not a core base rule, gotta go into expert mode for it... D&D covers it pretty well with the basic core. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />What about that WoD conversion? I'm getting interested into the system.Oh yes..... armor in Gurps soaks damage... this is nice, bigger metal plate reduces lots of damage.. very very good, i like that... oh, fire does damage.. hmm... metal breastplate protects against fire!! Get a 6" thick steel full plate and dive in a volcano!!!Just mocking now, if I'm not mistaken they addressed this kind of thing in 4th... 3rd still had it though...</blockquote>
