Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: No Depth Perception and One Eye
I've got fairly poor depth perception, and the penalties have always seemed harsh to me. But I've still got both eyes. Its possible that there's room for a -5 point "poor depth perception" between having no perception and struggling with it.

"One Eye" or "Eyepatch" as a quirk with no in-game effect would probably be common if there was not a listed disad with painful in-game effects. |

Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: No Depth Perception and One Eye
I'd like to see a version that included no-peripheral-vision-on-one-side (-5 points? more?) and only-one-eye-away-from-total-blindness (-1 point, if that) without the direct to-hit penalties.

Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: No Depth Perception and One Eye
GURPS is prone to overstating the effects of visual disadvantages on gross motor tasks; we actually have a quite large surplus of visual capability for ordinary applications (plenty of animals make do just fine with 20:100 vision or worse, and most animals with peripheral vision also lack binocular vision). A lot of this is probably because GURPS likes to combine modifiers to a single roll when it would be more accurate to use multiple rolls.

Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: No Depth Perception and One Eye
I have way worse vision with my left eye than my right one. Yet, as far as I know, I have no problems with depth perception.

(I couldn't find my way around outside that area with glasses.) The harsh penalties may be more accurate for those suddenly suffering hindered vision.

Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: No Depth Perception and One Eye
For all those addressing "appearance".
I personally don't care for my appearance while wearing a patch. But it's been clearly stated to me by multiple friends, dude you look bad ass with your patch, you should keep it. So apparently most folks aren't really put off by the appearance of a patched eye. I'm still looking for a real comfy patch. maybe dragon hide? |

Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: No Depth Perception and One Eye
I"m average looking on a good day, but I've never had a friend ever say that. They either compliment me or say nothing at all as far as I can remember.
I think it's probably close to how Gurps suggests. It makes the average less appealing and the attractive more interesting.
