Pectorals

All I know is that this thread has confused the heck out of me. I'm looking forward to reading the actual rules even more now, just so that my head will stop exploding.

It's Dan's insertion of the "chinks in armor at -8" model to bypass, where it clearly doesn't belong, and which I consider an unplayable match for normal GURPS rules, that insertion is I was objecting to.

And you would do this if you insisted on attacking the vitals in location 9, for some odd reason. (Though actually, I think the total location penalty would be a total of -10, as for targeting the chinks in armor for other locations)

At least, that's how I'm reading this.

Couldn't simply be made an excuse that because of the Ribcage, to hit vitals in area 10 will be more difficult, let's say -6, and because you couldn't see, go down to -8.

Or you could make a new area:
Lungs -5 to hit
Treat as vitals for all purpose, but have DR 2 of the ribcage, useful when you opponent have the upper torso protected.
