[MA] Best dirty-fighting style for a callous weakling?

Rocket Man · 05-29-2009, 09:57 AM

To quote the old boxers' saying, all other things being equal, a good big man will beat a good little man. GURPS appears to reflect that -- which means that a little man's first priority in a fight (if he can't immediately escape) is to mae sure things don't stay equal.

In short: Don't Fight Fair. (And as a corollary, Don't Fight Unarmed -- that really makes it all about muscle!)

Aesir and Figleaf23 have some useful advice in that regard. But remember the corollary in Aesir's fighting style, underlined by several others: Do damage, create an opening, and run.

Overall, the best way for a small man to bring down a big man appears to be for the big man to have a club and the small man to have a Colt .45.....
