Re: New, Eager, and Overwhelmed
Well, he said 3.5 so I imagine if means 3ed revised with compendium. I'm seeing people talking about 4ed. It is a bit different.
I would look mostly in magic and fantasy. Those books have pretty much most if not all of you want. In 3ed, attributes until 8 doesn't count towards disad limits, so you can get some extra points from there. (And in compendium, only the difference from there counts, so ST7 gives you 20 points, but counts only -5 towards the limit. How many points do you have to spend? It is an important issue. You probably won't be able to make a good undead mage with only 100+45 points. |

@Ronavone: What other games have you played? We might be able to offer more helpful advice if we had some idea of where you're coming from. People who've only ever played D&D/D20, for example, find the absence of classes and levels in GURPS disorienting- they get overwhelmed by the lack of framework. also, I second the request for clarification- Are you using the 3rd Edition, revised? That will make a big difference in what we tell you, as there were major changes to the character creation rules between that and the current 4th edition. |
