GURPS Grand Unified Hit Location Table

[Bruno]

I have made a Grand Unified Hit Location Table v2.4, compiled from the Basic Set, Biotech, Loadouts: Low-Tech Armor, Low-Tech, Low-Tech Instant Armor, Martial Arts, and Dungeon Fantasy Treasures 1: Glittering Prizes. It is a US-letter sized PDF, Three pages. First page contains the "main" locations and random rolling (including rolling for sub locations), second page has details on all the sub locations and on armour gaps, third page has details on inanimate objects.

Includes random rolling as well as deliberately targeted attacks.

EDITORS NOTE: The face sub-location table includes what helmet pieces from Low Tech correspond to which face sub-location. This correspondence is NOT canonical, but is instead inferred by myself; I feel pretty good about my guesses, but they're still guesses. If not using the Face sub-locations, just go with Table I: Hitting 'Em Where It Hurts on what penalty to bypass the partial armor, and try to build your helmets with homogenous armor in whatever places are covered :P

First!

XD

I use your All About SM page, and will probably use this as well. Thanks a lot!

Why did you leave off the details for a crushed windpipe?

Treat any crushing injury over HP/2 to the neck hit location as a crippling injury which crushes the windpipe, causing choking.

The spine entry is incomplete in how much Cripples.

Probably because it's an optional rule essentially hidden in medical rules in a book that mostly isn't about combat (Bio-Tech). Personally, I consider that consequence over-deadly, and would allow a HT roll to avoid it in anything but the most gritty campaign. The extra injury from crushing attacks to the neck is already deadly enough.

Emily, have I ever told you that you are my hero?

One small thing, shouldn't Armor Chinks be on there (I know my players forget about them, and then when I mention them they laugh like idiots for hours and hours at the name and then forget to use them)?

Thank you A LOT for that! It will be of great use.

That, in a nutshell. :) As mentioned on the sheet itself, I sourced Basic Set, Low-Tech, Low-Tech Instant Armor, and Martial Arts. I didn't even know there was essentially more hit location stuff in Biotech!

I'll put it on the sheet anyways. If you like, I'll flag it as extra-optional ;)

.... I put in the optional "Armor Gaps" but not the core "Chinks". *facepalm*

I've uploaded the fixed file, having figured out how to replace things on Google Drive (finally).
