Very Fit & Extra Effort
Very fit halves the rate at which you loose fatigue due to exertion, heat exhaustion, etc. However, in my experience, most fatigue loss from exertion in a campaign ends up being in the from of using extra effort (usually in combat but often for other things). And most fatigue loss from these effects are in increments of single points for specific tasks.
So... - Does Very Fit help with extra effort at all? If it does, how does that work? On related notes... - Does Very Fit halve the rate at which you lose fatigue from all hazards (e.g. hypothermia or suffocation)? Just double checking since it says it helps with heat. - Does Very Fit halve the fatigue loss from encumbrance at the end of combat? I may have more questions that i'm not thinking of right now. |

Re: Very Fit & Extra Effort
Fit/Very Fit do not affect "instant" FP loss, only FP loss over time.

Re: Very Fit & Extra Effort
Also a Very Fit character will lose only 2 FP after being great hasted, and take halve FP damage from FP related attacks.

Re: Very Fit & Extra Effort
Yeah, that's what I thought. But it still doesn't answer the question of extra effort on mundane tasks.

Re: Very Fit & Extra Effort
The problem is there is no half of 1 FP loss for it, and I don't know how it'd help if you used it for jumps and throws which are instant only.
I believe you could possibly rule as GM that you can use it to extend the duration 1 FP gets you, for example: Quote:

Re: Very Fit & Extra Effort
Yes.
Page B55 expressly lists exertion as one of the types of FP loss it covers. Page B426 identifies Extra Effort as a type of exertion. Quote:

Re: Very Fit & Extra Effort
Gurps 4th ed. does not do half points in any way, shape, or form. If you instantly suffer fatigue it rounds up to a whole number. So 2 lost becomes 1, but 1 lost stays 1.
