So can you loot its claws?

Didn't even think of that. I don't see why not, teeth too. Make a skill roll per the rules for the fur, but at -5, not -10. Success means you have a weapon that has an armor divisor of (5); critical success means that ignores DR. Impaling attacks drop this to armor divisor (3) or armor divisor (10) respectively. See p. 71 of GURPS Low-Tech for more info on teeth or claws used in weapons.

Gamemaster's Guidepost: Mini-Location - Fantasy Smithy

"And you have my axe!" "...though I need to get it sharpened first." Off to the smithy, heigh-ho! So that was sudden..your PCs were set to go to the Death Mines of Deathy Deathiness, but are making a sudden stop. The orcs that were following them could stop and wait around...or you could have a brawl at the smithy. Whatever you decide, this week's Patreon Special is all about the fantasy smithy (which isn't very realistic, but please, don't get me started). With rules for how much cover DR the walls might provide, generic NPC stats, and what might be found in the building itself, you've got everything you need for this "mini-location."

What's that you say? Not a patron yet? Maybe tip-toe this away, throw a few dollars my way? Besides helping to purchase the supplies I need monthly and keep a roof over my head so I can write - you're also getting something out of the deal: gaming material that no one else has access to.

Kromm posted something like this a while back, but that seems like a good idea. Sold.

I know you probably have a whole list of ideas of your own you're working on, but I was curious about the status of this idea.

Send me a PM with your email and I'll give you an advance copy since you inspired this - I've written up my thoughts on it, but I've not posted it.

Sent. But as I mentioned if it isn't ready to be posted you don't have to send it. I knew you hadn't posted it, I get an email every time this thread is updated. :)

I'm clearing my backlog of articles before I put in new stuff - but yeah, it's written, it's just newer and I wanted to hold off before posting it.

Makes sense. Thanks for the advanced copy!

Nothing I wouldn't do for anyone else (or haven't done!) who inspired a post. I've modified it some from your comments though.
