Sorry, I mixed your "Melee Academy" posts with those from other blog (Peter V. Dell'Orto and mlangsdorf) but your descriptions of Bar Fight were enlightening as well so I wouldn't mind see more posts like that.

GURPS101: Sin-Eating

One of the topics given when I asked for thoughts on what should be posted on my blog was "sin-eating" - the practice of devouring the evils of a person. So I ran with it. Here is how you gamify a sin-eater in GURPS.

Why does Reflexive Reflexes have two Greater effects? It seems that the bonus could probably be a Lesser effect, and an argument could be made for the Luck granting being lesser as well. Is this a sort of tax on getting to do this with without Path of Chance?

Thank you for all the rituals you put on your blog though!

Mostly information from playing with RPM over a long period of time. Theoretically a Lesser Strengthen Body effect allows up to +5 on physical actions - Active Defenses are usually physical actions. So that tracks, but the Defense Bonus Meta-Trait is worth 30 points of altered traits so if you added it it would be 60 points vs. 10 points if added as a Bestows a Bonus.

Indeed. Luck from Path of Body seems more like a Greater effect to me. Sometimes it's easier to go with a specific Path instead of another because it cheapens the cost. I was coming at this from "I don't have Path of Chance, what can I do with Path of Body."

Kind of. See above.
