while he's fighting two weapon a Effective Broadsword-17 with His mom's katans, he doing 1d+3 imp 2d+4 cut each. and can claim -2 per parry due to weapon master. Both if he Switch to two handed to two he effective Two-hand sword-15 1d+3 imp 2d+5 sw and is able to claim the -1 per parry (Parrying with Two-Handed Weapons GURPS Martial Arts p.123) Densive Grip requires you to lose the second weapon any so you want the two hand weapon skill anyway. for the +1 more to parry he drops down to 1d+1 imp 2d+3 cut |

Re: Critique/Help with my char
Just as an aside, Savoir Faire (Dojo) has got to be one of the worst point-wastes in all of GURPS (perhaps rivalled only by Cultural Adaptibility).

As to the rest of it though, I wouldn't go the way you want to. My experience as a GM tells me that 2 attacks a round is a (literally) killer ability. The second attack has a _much_ better chances of getting through. To my mind this is a much better way to deal with multiple attackers. You kill them quickly rather than trying to rely on perfect defense for an extended period of time. Given the Critical Hit rules that's just not a good way to go. Also in consideration of the Crit rules, attacking twice as often pays off twice as fast. There's also the issue that you're advocating a strong change in the character's focus. Even if I thought your advice was tactically better than I do it's still the OP's character. So I say if he wants to speciailize in DWA for offense, don't try and talk him into diluting the character's focus by spending pts on two-handed defense.

Re: Critique/Help with my char
Okay, after some reading, I came up with this set for Rhonin. I changed the vow after writing some more of his backstory. So now if he loses or gets his swords destroyed, he won't be crippled.
ST 13 Will 10 DX 13 Per 10 IQ 10 HP13 HT 12 FP 12 Basic Speed 6 Move 6 Advantages and Perks Ambidexterity -5 Combat Reflexes - 15 Enhanced Parry (Broadsword) 2 - 10 Signature Gear 4 - 4 Weapon Master (Broadswords) - 20 Weapon Bond Weapon Bond Grip Mastery(Katana) Disads and Quirks Vow (Find and Kill his mother's killer with her Swords) - 5 Obession(Find his mother's killer) - 10 Pacifism(Cannot Harm Innocents) - 10 Enemy(Rival "Donovan") - 5 Sense of Duty(Companions) - 5 Light Sleeper - 5 Over Confidence - 5 Chummy - 5 Likes home cooked meals Dislikes disorganization Humble Likes to daydream Horrible Hangovers skills and techs Dual Weapon Attack - Broadsword - 16 [5] Broadsword - 16 (DX+3) [12] Fast Draw(Broadsword) -14* (DX+1) [1] Disarming (Broadsword) - 17 +1 [2] Feint(Broadsword) - 17 +1 [2] Riding(Equine) - 14 (DX+1) [4] Carpentry - 10 (IQ+0) [1] Housekeeping - 10 (IQ+0) [1] Cooking(Mom's Cooking) - 10 (IQ + 0) [1] Acrobatics - 13 (DX+0) [4] Counterattack(Broadsword) - 12 -4 [1] Retain Weapon(Broadsword) - 17 +1 [2] Parry Missile - Weapons - 13 DX+0 First Aid/TL 3(Human) - 13 (IQ+3) [8] Stealth -13 (DX+0) [2] Judo -12 (DX-1) [2] Choke Hold(Judo) - 10 [-2] Arm Lock(Judo) - 13 [+1] Triangle Choke(Judo) - 8 [-4] Sweeping Kick(Judo) 9 [-3] I think some of the techniques added up wrong. But this is the new character sheet. I'll probably re-do it once more after I look over it again. |

Consider that you have 12 points in broadsword and 12 points in techniques... if instead you simply put 24 points in Broadsword, you would be better in nearly every techniques listed (except Dual-Weapon Attack) and have 3 higher skill and 1 better parry (actually 2 better due to Weapon Bond). Also, Counterattack is HARD, so it should have at least 2 points to raise it up one from default. Instead, drop the points from Disarming/Feint/Retain Weapon/Counterattack... drop Grip Mastery since you don't have 2-handed skill, and put those 8 points into Broadsword. Also why 4pts in signature gear? I understand that each katana is $650 and would require 2 points... but since they're a related set, I don't see the problem in 3 points for a $1300 pair. Also: why is First-Aid 13 so critical for you? That's 4 points you could use elsewhere and still have a respectable skill of 12. Last edited by Trachmyr; 11-08-2011 at 10:22 PM. |

Re: Critique/Help with my char
Atully I can think of two times when that's not true, Skill caps and/or When you use the Skill degration for high skill rules. then 4 or more techniques might be worth it if to get the reit of skill penites with out going over the skill level you can maintain.

Re: Critique/Help with my char
Ok, under certain optional rules, but neither affect this character. There is also one other exception, Ground Fighting Techniques (and to a lesser extent Low Fighting) as they also offset defense penalties... but again, it doesn't apply to this character.

Because I'm seeing 2d-1 swing for my ST 13, and Katana is sw + 1. With Weapon master I'm doing sw+5 with the katana, -1 from my strength, making it 2d+4. So, I'm going to drop first aid to 12, and save the 4 pts, and I'm going to remove about 2 of the techniques and looking into the broadsword issue.
