A couple of strange questions

[Keiko]

A vaguely related question that didn't seem worth its own thread. There was something called "Bullet Proof Nudity" in 3rd edition (A GM I played with joked about using it). What is/was it and does it still exist in 4th?

[simply Nathan]

Definitely yes.

[Keiko]

What is it?

[Blind Mapmaker]

It's a cinematic combat option, which means it's basically something the GM can allow if they think it's cool and adds to the campaign's atmosphere. This one gives you a bonus to active defences when wearing less clothes and to Move when naked. You can find it on B 417.

Huh, I see why he was joking about :D

I'm planning on converting some of the material from the fan supplement GURPS: Sex into 4th edition as a pass time and to get a feel for tinkering with the system and some of it could be useful.

There seems to be one big issue: allot of this stuff seems overpriced for what it does. Some of the skills and other traits seem a bit redundant. There's also, IMO, some unnecessary (and incorrect) assumptions but I suppose that's a given when dealing with such a personal subjective experience.

More detail about the specifics of your question would help us to help you.

I can't imagine playing in a game in which those rules are useful or used but the easiest "port" is to make all of the skills and such into techniques of erotic art and in a few cases a perk (multi 0**** for example) or a a professional skill such as "Pro Skill Prostitute, Pro Skill Porn Star, Pro Skill Dominatrix"

That and social engineering should be more than enough for GURPS Horndogs and Floozies or whatever

I still advocate going through my list of books in the post above, and referencing the listed crunch. Once they're all published, anyway, which should be Real Soon©.

That's largely what I was thinking. Many of them are pretty specific for a full skill, more like aspect of a broader ability

I was mostly just commenting on some thoughts I had while looking through the material to see if anyone else had thought anything similar. I might start some specific threads if anything comes up that seems worthy of it.

I've have to acquire some of those books so it'll be slow going.
