Unless you were responding to the tactical nuke situation, but I'd say Reliable 10 Warp with No Dice Roll Required isn't that dissimilar to having a massive step. Of course, if you do indeed have a character like that (and are allowing No Dice Roll Required on Active Defenses), you're down to having to drop their defense below 3 - meaning the character has to be massively outclassed to be harmed. |

No, it will just get clobbered by a critical hit or surprise attack, assuming the GM allows it in the first place.

Yeah, for someone that knows 3e and was using (in that version of the system) an "Unbalanced" weapon, it took some getting used to not being able to just be strong enough to use something without having to re-ready it, including using it to attack and parry in the same turn without taking a specific combat maneuver.

Re: Passive Defense and 4e
There is a PD stat in the handcuffs section of GURPS Mysteries (4e). What is that?
