Pyramid's Combat Effectiveness Rating for Foes

Jürgen Hubert · 03-19-2015, 02:59 PM

Finally, the latest issue of Pyramid (#77 - Combat) gives us clearly defined metrics on how to rate the combat challenge represented by enemies - in the form of the "Combat Effectiveness Rating" (CER), subdivided into Offensive Rating (OR) and Protective Rating (PR).

If I had the time, I'd attempt to calculate these ratings for all the enemies listed in the GURPS Repository. Unfortunately, I do not have the time - I have a deadline at work and I'm in the middle of a job hunt (with a first interview on Friday next week).

But... if anyone else is willing to start calculating the ratings for some of these monsters, I could add suitable tags to the entires and create automated tables which would list the monsters by their CER (and further tables listing them by OR and PR).

Any takers?
