GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 13: Loadouts

Just got and it and looks very useful. I liked a good equipment list, but always hated trying to put together my initial list to buy. This does the trick for GURPS.

Thanks

Mr. Riggsby - you have just saved an otherwise miserably rainy last-day-of-way-too-short-vacation day completely. My many thanks :-D.

Only to make up my mind. Does this suplement looks good enought as a tool to introduce new players to GURPS when using DF?

Yes. Players who are naturally detail oriented can always go shopping, but most people get overwhelmed by the requirement the first time they play - it brings the "artificial reduction of choice" element of templates to equipment in the same non-prescriptive way. Helps quite a bit.

Ok. Thanks Bruno.

Bought it! I can always eat some other day. The armor is just one part - there's enough useful stuff elsewhere in the book.

I've just noticed a problem with this, the loadouts normally present the SM+0 data as the default with values for -6 to +1 provided in the body, the switch to using SM+1 for the Barbarian threw me for a bit when I noticed it, but once I thought about it, it made sense.

What doesn't make sense is why the Barbarian loadouts still go down to SM-6, but don't go up the SM+2

I think the Alternate SM's list the Racial SM's, so -6 for a Pixie, -4 for a Leprechaun, -2 for a Halfling and -1 for a Gnome. The SM+1 on the other templates is for the Ogre.

The text for the Barbarian Loadouts assumes the SM+1, and the Alternate SMs lists stats for fighters of other sizes (including Knights and Holy Warriors who would be SM 0) "who want to use barbarian style equipment".. - so the SM+0 listing is for the Loadouts at that size, instead of SM+1.

Reading the text for Ogres in DF3, and the example on Overlap on DF3.p4 (for an Ogre Barbarian) - I'd say that an Ogre Barbarian is SM+1, not SM+2.
