Strength Based Skill

[Engurrand]

Can you make a skill based on Strength? How?

Setting the type to ST/VH didn't do it, and neither did editing the Stepfrom value.

I know this isn't RAW GURPS. I'd still like to know if it's possible. :)

Thanks

I think you have to create a new skilltype.

That's done it. Thank you.

Added a data file to the queue with:

[SKILLTYPES]
ST/E, cost(1/2/4/8), base(-1), defaultstat(ST), relname(ST)
ST/A, cost(1/2/4/8), base(-2), defaultstat(ST), relname(ST)
ST/H, cost(1/2/4/8), base(-3), defaultstat(ST), relname(ST)
ST/VH, cost(1/2/4/8), base(-4), defaultstat(ST), relname(ST)

For one-offs, you can also just Add Tag the stat tag to the skill, setting its value to ST. That allows for overriding the default stat for the skill type of the skill in question with a different attribute.

Of course, if you're comfortable with it, the new SkillType is much more obviously based on a different attribute.

Great! Thanks for the replies folks. I know I can always count on swift assistance here, and that makes a fella happy. Mischief managed. :)
