I was agreeing with you only in regard to the part I quoted. I was ignoring the part I didn't quote.

I would agree more generally with Anthony that if Gurps is going to ahve a realistic take on character mass it needs to have a "mass" stat and it should stop trying to use ST and/or HP for that purpose.

If you do try and use HP as a deteminer of mass in the "collision" formulas no human should have more than about 14 HP. This would harmonize with ST15(18 Arm) gorillas and ST 20 grizzly bears but would limit chargen in a dull fashion.
