Re: Battlesuits for smaller users...
I played a pixie character with a giant robot in a BESM game, once. "Giant robot" is relative, of course - it was about 5'5" tall, and had a glamour to appear human.
Anybody have any ideas on how to stat that in GURPS?

Re: Battlesuits for smaller users...
My suggestion would be to stat it as a case of Possession. That'll give the most fair costs (the mecha will probably be your 'primary' body at full costs, with your actual pixie body paid for as a cheap ally). The possession advantage itself would be very cheap...maybe start with Biological (its mechanics are fairly close) and knock off more by restricting it to only your robot body, probably hitting the -80% cap.

Re: Battlesuits for smaller users...
How about a suit acting like ST 20 when worn by a ST 10 character, but the same exact suit acting like ST 25 when worn by a ST 15 character?
(I personally think that a suit should have a fixed ST, jumping range, etc. They're based on the suit's power, not the user's abilities.) |

However, it would probably make more sense for the ST to vary the square root of a constant plus the square of the user's strength. With the constant chosen for consistency to the case of a ST 10 user. Which will be fairly similar to fixed suit ST for human-range users.
