Are you certain this is what you want?

Damage means here the total damage the character received up to this point (excluding the ones he healed).
"Are you certain this is what you want?"
Now I am looking at it and its not what I want, the problem is that GURPS use a non linear dice. And I based my math on that.
I will need to change the rules.

Damage here also means here the total damage the character received up to this point (excluding the ones he healed).
Also your HP stat helps you to keep you alive.

Is your intention that characters should risk death when struck by attacks that don't actually cause wounds, or are you making DR only serve to reduce, not negate, damage?

Weapon damage means the damage of the weapon not the injury you received.
So, if your DR is 20, the enemy weapon does 3d damage and he rolls a 13, the damage you will receive is 13 / 1.3, so you receive 10 points.

The point of this is that the character was not penetrated, but he received blunt trauma.


Most of the complexity of my rules, comes from the fact that in gurps, penetration and damage are the same stat not different ones (the fact that the dice is not linear helps too), if I find a way to split them, I will probably simplify my rules.
