Question about SM and Reach
An SM+1 Character increases its reach from C to 1 B402.
DF1,p27 states that an SM+1 character can buy an oversized weapon. But it says nothing about changing the weapon's SM. Does an oversized weapon, created for an SM+1 creature, increase the weapon's reach? |

Re: Question about SM and Reach
You will need to have a look at LT2 on pp20+
And yes the weapon's weight, cost, reach, damage can all change. iirc there is a rule of thumb that a SM+1 reach would require something with a min ST15. In a supers game I am running there is a ST40 character that uses normal sized halberds as 'paired' weapons. Min ST13 halberd is unbalanced at min STx3 it becomes a balanced weapon. |

Re: Question about SM and Reach
DF Denizens Barbarians (pg 26) is probably the book he wants, since he's already playing DF. ;)
Low Tech does have more 'realistic' rules, DFD:B is aimed at the "lower resolution" of DF. Quote:
[ERROR] For ST, if the weapon did +1 damage or more, increase minimum ST by times 1.5. So for instance an SM+1 Small Mace goes up to Minimum ST 15. But a Hatchet goes up to 12. [/ERROR] [CORRECTED] Increase minimum ST by times 1.5. So for instance an SM+1 Small Mace goes up to Minimum ST 15. A SM+1 Hatchet goes up to 12. [/CORRECTED] There is more to it than that, but that should Last edited by evileeyore; 11-21-2018 at 03:14 PM. Reason: Corrected an error. |

Your explanations were what I needed. Sadly, I can't buy those books now. Already reach my quota of GURPS books for the moment, lol. |
