Default Re: Very Fit and Extra Effort in combat

Training isn't combat? You don't say ;)....

You're right about the desk jockey/out of shape guy being able to give you maybe one interval. But a second and a third? Maybe not so much. Again, this is probably best modeled by giving the in shape guy extra FP than anything else.

Meaning a training exercise using extra effort cant use gurps 1 second combat rounds. You brought that up as an example of the limitations of very fit vs extra effort in combat. In a training exercise I would give a FP cost based on the length of the drill and a Very fit person would cut the cost in half. So actually for an interval drill Very fit would model very well in terms of cutting the cost of doing the drill (say 4fp) in half.

And yeah the desk jockey is going to give me a second and third drill, it just wont look anything like the first, lol.
