A couple of strange questions
I apologize if these questions upset or offend anyone. They are sincere though and I couldn't think of anywhere else to ask.
1. Has the material in the netbook GURPS: Sex ever been updated for 4th Edition and if so where could it be found? 2. In GURPS terms would being a Futanari* be an Advantage, Disadvantage, Quirk or...? *Link is to wikipedia but NSFW due to illustration |

Re: A couple of strange questions
You might get some use out of this thread gender in GURPS..... It focuses more on gender and orientation and being politically correct, but there you go.
As for your second question, it all depends on setting and character. On the most generic physical level you should decide whether this gives a male's increased vulnerability to groin attacks. If not, you can just slap the Hermaphroditism feature (BIO 59) on it and be done with the basic physical stuff. If yes, then you also have doubled shock penalties from groin hits (B 399). That wouldn't give you any points as a male, but getting rid of it costs 2 points (Testicle Tuck, BIO 172). It would depend on your GM how to handle this. The whole social connotations are a completely different can of worms and really too much to get into without some extra information. Have a look at the thread I linked above to get an idea how to handle gender/orientation issues in society. |

Re: A couple of strange questions
The extra damage from groin hits to males seems kind of weird to me.
From game balance shouldn't you like get points or some minor boon - or something to balance it out. Otherwise its kind of weird for a generic universal game to just suddenly add a no point discount disad. if someone want's to play a male humanoid. I also don't think being kicked in the groin is a picnic for females too:D, there seems to be a certain chance that it will be more painful for males for weak to moderate kicks/punches that have a chance to catch testicles between the striking surface and body. Really hard strikes can kind of destroy everything there no matter where its tucked (the pelvic bone is actually easier to fracture for females on avarage (and would be a fight ender and horrible death in low TL)) and on many weaker strikes the family jewels might not be captured exactly between two surfaces so it wouldn't be any more painful either. The techniques where the male groin might be in a definite disadvantage in real fights are - grab and squeeze or grab and rip :S. (to think of it a good suggestion would not to wear a kilt or tunic etc. to a brawl) Last edited by fifiste; 01-09-2013 at 01:15 PM. Reason: spelling of picnic |

Re: A couple of strange questions
From my experience a hit to the groin is pretty debilitating for either sex. It might be somewhat less painful for women sincethere's no objective way to tell. Someone women are dropped by groin blows, some men shrug them off. But the main difference is with males its an easier target. I've heard from a some sources that seem reliable that the effectiveness of groin blows as fight ender is often overstated in fiction.

Depends. While Brawl-3/Judo-2/Wrestling-2 is an easy roll, the damage is applied on the next turn. Whether the attacker can roll a non-zero thr-4 depends on ST and luck. And don't forget that Rigid armour protects against this damage with no divisor. |

I didn't throw up or end up curled up in the fetal position on the ground, but I also have been told I qualify for some level of High Pain Threshold by a doctor so that's not a good data point. It hurt like hell though, I walked funny as heck, and I was worried I'd done myself some sort of horrible personal injury at the time. In retrospect, I'm lucky I didn't crack my pelvis - if I'd be older (and therefore larger and heavier and with a more adult-female pelvic shape) I might have.

Re: A couple of strange questions
Essentially, human males start with an implicit weakness worth -2 and females with an implicit weakness worth -1 point. Even in a 25-pt campaign, the difference is minimal.
