Hehe, much better ;-) What can I say, I like to edit documents and see if I can get em fixed up.

As to why the deal between Interplay and SJG fell through, read on my friends...

As for "Bonus HtH Attack", that was a serious flub on my part. How does Bonus HTH Attack (Extra Attack 1 (Melee attack (C) -30%; Requires DX 12+ -10%; Requires Combat Skill 16+ -10%)) [13] grab you?

Not sure I like those "Requires <such and such>." It should only be a limitation if there is a loss of usefulness to the person who put points in it. Unless there is a serious risk of your DX or skill dropping below the limit, there is not such loss.

Powers and Martial Arts offer "Single skill" at -20% for Extra Attack. In general, though, it would probably be a bit simpler to just use Dual Weapon Attack.

Im impressed, very smart work.

I was trying to stay as true as possible to the Perks in the SPECIAL system. Bonus HtH Attack, for example, requires AG 6 and a character level of 6 (or DX 12 and combat skill 16+ when translated to GURPS). The description for the original Perk reads "You have learned the secret arts of the East, or you just punch faster. In any case, your hand-to-hand attacks cost 1 AP less to perform" so I decided to go with the Extra Attack advantage. Hope that makes sense, haha.

Okay, but "Requires X skill" is a feature. You're free to make traits dependent on other traits, but unless it reduces the usefulness, it shouldn't be a point discount.

[Tectuctitlay]

So if I'm understading you correctly, what we should have is "Extra Attack 1 (Melee attack (C) -30%) [18]?

[Tectuctitlay]

Wait a tic... If there's a restriction that limits the number of people that are allowed to take the advantage, should that qualify for a discount of some kind? How would I model that?

[Kyle Aaron]

"Unusual Background" is the general one for limiting who can take Advantages.

It's like how Trained By A Master is a prerequisite for many Advantages and Skills, and the GM simply says how many N/PCs get to take that. In the same way, Unusual Background can be a prerequisite for Rapid Healing or Signature Gear (Power Armor) or whatever.

[Tectuctitlay]

Hmm. I never even thought of that... Thank you kindly!
