Re: Attribute levels and their meanings.

A ST score above 15 may be required in your games, since you drop the lifting rule that you find unrealistic, but it is not in rules as written. Having said that, if we follow How to be a GURPS GM, the maximum for the four attributes is 17-18, not 15. It is quoted by Warren “Mook” Wilson, but it is what Sean “Kromm” Punch wrote. So it is hard to have a more official answer. It doesn’t mean that the modern world records require a ST score of 17-18. It just means that ST 17-18 is supposed to be the historical best possible. And yes, Conan is surely over that because he is not a realistic character. He is a mythic one, if not even better, as AlexanderHowl brilliantly showed it.

Re: Attribute levels and their meanings.
If you need to kill people around you may aswell just use the variant rule based on the article*Knowing Your Own Strength*from*Pyramid #3/83*—*Alternate GURPS Ⅳ.

I disagree completely that my approach is flat out wrong because of Lifting skill, when this skill bears very little resemblance to reality. It just doesn't work with real world weightlifting. |

They are exactly 3.92× stronger at ST 14 plus Lifting 18 as soon as you start using the skill appropriately. And 4.5× stronger by ST 15.

Re: Attribute levels and their meanings.
Oh. OK. But is it possible to crush the ribcage of a gorilla by squeezing it with two arms with a ST as low as 14? Conan once did. Come on, Robert E. Howard never intended to make him a realistic hero.

Re: Attribute levels and their meanings.
Probably GURPS Conan*a*GURPS*version by*Steve Jackson Games. Since it is 3e you may need to follow the update guide for 4e.
You can also take the D&D versions and convert them to GURPS (GURPS stat = 10 + D&D modifier). Last edited by Alonsua; 07-11-2018 at 01:15 AM. |
