Rules (limitation question)
Can I get a (semi) official rule on the % amount of the limitation "Crushing damage only" on Striking ST? Obviously Striking ST does either crushing, cutting, or impaling, so I could use the .33 accessibility limitation, which is -25%. However, the point cost is 5 points per +1d, where cutting is 7 points, and impaling is 8 points. Hence one could argue for 5/20 - .25 accessibility, which is -30%. Could Kromm or PKitty give a (semi) official rule? I'm doing a low-powered "crushing only" Supers campaign, so the super ST rules from GURPS Supers don't really help.

Re: Rules (limitation question)
If all damage is Crushing, it may be easier to just use Crushing Attack with Melee:C.

No that doesn't account for thrown cars and swung steel I-beams, etc...I need "crushing only". GURPS Supers explicitly rules out what you suggest.

Re: Rules (limitation question)
I think you are estimating too high. My immediate instinct for this is to use the values for Weapon Master, and while there isn't a category there explicitly listing "crushing weapons", it's clearly *at least* a large class, which is at about -12%

Re: Rules (limitation question)
If "crushing only" is because the campaign setting only has crushing damage for Super ST, this might be a Feature.
