Re: [Basic] Skills of the week: Bicycling, Driving and Piloting
Nitpick: If it costs them less fatigue, it would actually be called Very Fit [15] in GURPS terms. Regular Fit just lets them recover faster.

I imagine it's why cross training is so important. So you don't over specialize your body.

Re: [Basic] Skills of the week: Bicycling, Driving and Piloting
I'm commenting on the specifics of variations on the Fit Advantage here, not saying anything about floating the Bicycling skill to HT or using the Last Gasp rules or whatever.

I should be careful... what are the rules for FP exertion for Bicycling again? >.> Does this tie a bit into the discussion I vaguely remember from X months ago (drawing a blank on the exact time; pretty sure it was between 1 and 11 months) about Fit and Very Fit and how skill usage should probably affect FP loss.

Serious cyclists do things that seem crazy to the likes of me. There's one at work who used to commute 40 miles each way daily: he enjoyed it hugely, but had to admit that it took up too much time. For a honeymoon, he and his wife cycled over the Pyrenees Mountains. |

So... a good Bicycling Skill already improves endurance at bicycling unless the target has a higher HT score than Bicycling Skill? Or did I miss the forest for the trees? ^^'

Incidentally, I picked up that rule by searching PDFs. For this kind of GURPS research, it really is worthwhile to have a search tool that searches across all your PDFS at once. Windows' built-in search was a joke for years, but with Windows 8 it works really well once you get it the filter that lets it look in PDFs. |
