This "where do the poker chips go" method is the best way of visualizing (and gaming!) how this works by far, and honestly it's due to Steven's prodding.

Re: Pyramid #3/44: Alternate GURPS II
Oh, boy. But how I want Abstract Wealth... Now if I can just figure out how to sign on without the fershluginner website kicking me off again...
I don't know what it is but I always seem to end up having to reset my password with SJG...

Re: Pyramid #3/44: Alternate GURPS II
I can't be timely with getting it out, but here is the conclusion:
Buy all "Power Ups" and "Alternate GURPS" titles on sight. If you buy nothing else for your Basic Set, buy these. I can say that now without having read them all because SJG's quality standards are so high and so consistent. Last edited by Jeffr0; 06-22-2012 at 12:43 PM. |

ie: Go at Speed 6 lose our stat then go at speed 5 Even if you took that into account and just say go later next time your still mucking about with duration effects and such. Example Speed 6 all out defend, oops now your at Speed 5; Next guy at speed 5.5 goes after your first turn and then has to deal with your still boosted defenses on the next turn because you have not gone yet. Same with DX drains and such in a fight. It just means some people are too excited to wait even one day to talk about it. I call this a Good thing :)

In fact, adding particular FP to any given "color" pool is an interesting option. Since when you burn your last "red" chip, you start taking extra damage, maximum penalties, etc, having a bit more grit before you drop would be kinda neat. Of course, you're at -100% to ST before then, so some amount of tweaking to other parts might be required. :-) Quote:
So if you're depending only on FP to power those things, yes, you probably have increased their value, as well as the power of things that drain them.

Re: Pyramid #3/44: Alternate GURPS II
I only realised this year that SJG and e23 have two different password logins. If you change one, forget which it was, then sign in to the other... Hilarity ensues.
