But a swung staff? That's never going to be an effective choice. |

Re: Pixie Weapon Damage
Thats why I suggested using LTC 2 rules and somehow getting rid of the Min ST problem
A ST 5 pixie wielding a SM -6 katar would do 1d-4 Imp in that case, compared to 1d-5 cr for a punch Even if you keep the Min ST rule, you are doing 1d-5 imp vs 1d-5 cr |

This raises it's own question of course, but basically GURPS combat at this level raises lots of questions! *although if you adjust injury mods due to low SM this might change Last edited by Tomsdad; 10-14-2017 at 05:04 AM. |

My instinct is to go with the Low Tech Companion scaling rules as causing less ridiculous results, or to use T-Bone's GULLIVER if I am particularly concerned about scaling. I have a suspicion, in fact, that the Dungeon Fantasy scaling rules were at least in part designed as a "nerf" to small characters (who get useful bonuses in combat and, particularly if not restricted to realistic strength, remarkably few penalties- "harder to hit in combat" tends to be much more important in Dungeon Fantasy than "has trouble reaching the top shelf") rather than for plausibility or even playibility.

Michael Cthulhu on Youtube makes Buster Sword replicas (along with other big giant swords, and similarly oversized fantasy weapons) at correct proportions, out of serious steel (not, eg, honeycomb aluminum or something else more lightweight). And then he "demonstrates" them. By this point he's got quite a bit of practice in swinging around ridiculously huge and heavy weapons, but in the demonstrations its more "Michael getting swung around by the weapon". And then sometimes he puts flamethrowers on them. He has all the fashion and design sense of a DF PC.

I have to say though if I was going to have lots of very small action I would just recalibrate the SM scale, because as I mentioned above so much gets problematic at this scale. And I think baseline vs. big works better than baseline vs. small or small vs. small. |
