Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: Chronic Pain
I like this approach to Sleep afflictions. It is neat and tidy and easily implemented.
Also, I'll +1 Chromic Affliction. I added that to my house rules as soon as you posted it back years ago.

I think you'd have to create some conversion between "affliction duration" and "hours of sleep" rather than using the straight numbers, since the default Affliction lasts minutes, and losing minutes of sleep will not make anyone drowsy. It actually takes quite a bit of missed sleep to inflict drowsiness "naturally" - the average GURPS character needs to stay awake for 10 hours past their regular bedtime for drowsiness to be an issue at all. |

As a point of comparison, Nausea gives a tendency to upgrade to Retching.

ShaoCan reported as a spammer: its other post makes that clear.

Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: Chronic Pain
A clarification on a rule. Italics mine:
B126 "Roll against the frequency of appearance for your Chronic Pain once per day. If you roll below this number, you suffer a bout of pain." Under Frequency of Appearance, it reads: "Frequency of Appearance Attack occurs on a roll of 6 or less: x0.5. Attack occurs on a roll of 9 or less: x1. Attack occurs on a roll of 12 or less: x2. Attack occurs on a roll of 15 or less: x3." My question: If you are to roll below a 6, 9, 12, or 15, should not the Frequency of Appearance read: Bout occurs on a result less than 6, 9, 12, or 15?

Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: Chronic Pain
I'm pretty sure that's an oversight in the sentence you quote, and the table is correct.
