"Less-lethal" Gurps

SteampengMK-1 · 08-09-2015, 02:33 AM

Hello there, steampeng here.

I was wondering, is there a way to make gurps less-lethal, as in how to lower the damage of weapons so it isn't a grantee insta kill if it was aimed at a PC?

I know there was one pyramid article dealing with lowering gun damage, but are there other ways?

I thought about allowing PC extra HP from the beginning, at the cost of -HP
(Instead of an average of 10HP and -50HP, allow 30HP and -30HP)

I know most of gurps stuff is geared toward 'realism', but anytime there a "fantasy" set one can get for an RPG, it can't be that Realistically based.
