Re: Need a ruling on deflect
Well, still not terribly relevant . . it could always be cost on a giant spider silk cloth glove, which is armor, and by the book subject to the spell and emulate Michael Jackson and whatnot, and cover the entire body nicely as the book has been translated by Kromm now

Cool.

I'm not seeing any confusion here. (I would argue that while Kromm is generally correct, that does not necessarily mean he is correct for your games. You, the GM, are the one who decides that.) Quote:

Re: Need a ruling on deflect
I know who the final arbiter on the game is, that's why I did the *crosses fingers* thing earlier, I wanted a ruling on how the damn thing worked to clear it up period, then he could make an educated decision on how it worked in the game based on that.

Of course, I'm not the GM for this game, which is probably a good thing.

Re: Need a ruling on deflect
So, you'd get annoyed when someone asked for a rules clarification not on a houserule but on RAW? Seems like a quick way to drive your blood pressure up and/or start a fight and lose your players because you either misunderstood or they misunderstood or whatever else.
Especially over a system as complex as GURPS where even the people who wrote and edited it say some things are confusing and could be redone better if they had more time before release etc. If you're going to get pissy because something confuses someone, its probably a good thing you don't play with the group of players I do in real life - you'd spend a lot of time sitting by yourself or with ice packs. |

Re: Need a ruling on deflect
So, they're supposed to "trust" you to know all the rules and how everything works when the book contradicts itself and is confusing roight... that logic is astounding.

Re: Need a ruling on deflect
Not at all. They're supposed to "trust" that I do know what I'm doing and will ensure that they'll have a good time. If they go running seeking higher clarification on one rule because I didn't agree with their interpretation, then how do I know that they won't do it every time something doesn't go their way? It's really as simple as that.
