Re: Attacking giants
OMG this is truly awesome. Had never seen this, coming from ITL down so to speak. I think this makes much more sense and gives multihex creatures a proper scary advantage. Thank you so much! My players are gonna love this ;P

Re: Attacking giants
It would be much more effective if falling cost the next action and the action after that was spent on standing up.
I guess I'll make another video with humans being trampled instead of trampling those smaller than them, unless anybody with a better voice doesn't want to do it?

Re: Attacking giants
If the hero pushed over was heavily armored, the giant may get his action before the hero stands up.

Re: Attacking giants
If you're doing a campaign with a lot of giant fights (eg. an Attack on Titan campaign), there's a great Pyramid article in #3/77 where Sean Punch offers some extended rules for fighting large opponents.

Re: Attacking giants
According to LE rules, a figure stands at the end of the turn, after all actions (this is different from the rules in Advanced Melee from the 1980s-. So, heavily armored or not, the pushed-over hero is going to have to hope the giant misses his +4 attack.

Re: Attacking giants
I always viewed GURPS as TFT 2.0. I had the game info but, it just didn't catch on in my group that was deeply entrenched into TFT. Since TFT went out of print in the mid-80's, I used to borrow some of the GURPS material for adventures and battles in TFT.

You may be better off in HTH and facing a trample. On the other hand, if you're in one of the two rear hexes of the giant, you can roll out to his side or rear. |

Re: Attacking giants
I know of nothing in the rules that suggests that a giant could not attack a figure prone in one of its hexes. To the best of my knowledge, such a figure could face a trample and a normal attack.

On the other hand, I'm not sure that one can swing a club at a fella under his feet. Rats are presumably crawling on you (although they can be trampled). Dragonets are in the air in your hex. So, I could go either way on whether a giant could attack a downed man in his hex. If the consensus in the forum is that they can, I'm good with that. I thought that Axly's post here suggested that the giant could only trample, not swing a club, but on re-reading it, I think it's not so clear whether that's what he meant. ETA: Axly was very clear in this post. He does not reckon a giant gets a regular attack on a figure downed in his hex. Lars says the same thing in that thread.
