*EDIT: I decided to make an Upgrade Module in the form of those in Delvers to Grow for this, and it's a bit of a doozy. Arguably it should have a [1] for Unique Technique, but Combinations kinda of already have a similar surcharge, so I disregarded that. Body Slammer You have specifically trained to pick up and slam grappled foes to the ground in a single action, typically burning all Control Points for improved damage on the throw. Your throws are particularly disorienting, requiring the foe to roll against HT to avoid being physically Stunned, even if not damage made it past their DR. Note the pickup can also disorient (as normal), as well as increases damage thanks to the gravity assist*. Prerequisite: Strong Delver Attributes: +2 Lifting ST [6] Advantages: Body Slam [8]**; Signature Move (Body Slam) [1]; Technique Adaptation (Judo Throw uses Wrestling) [1]; Power Grappling [1] Skills: Spend eight more points on Wrestling Optional: For a Wrestler (or other character with Wrestling Master), Body Slam as-written only has a cost of [5] ([2] for a two-attack combination, -3 for Rapid Strike with Wrestling Master). Such a character could opt to pick up another level of Lifting ST for [3] (net [9]), or give up the Signature Move to instead learn Improved Body Slam***. *I'm not sure what the rule is for this... do you basically just add the damage of a fall from your nominal height (2 yards for SM+0 - a Move 7 collision - 3 yards for SM+1 - a Move 8 collision - etc), or something else? **Body Slam is built as Combination +0/+0 (Wrestling/Pick Up + Wrestling/Judo Throw+Kiss The Floor) [8], the cost being [2] for a two-attack Combination and [6] to buy off the penalty. Note that, with Signature Move, this is actually +1/+1. ***Improved Body Slam is instead built as Combination +0/+0/+0 (Wrestling/Establish Grapple + Wrestling/Pick Up + Wrestling/Judo Throw+Kiss The Floor) [12]. This can allow the character to establish a grapple, pick up, and slam down, all in one go - or if a grapple is already established, the first attack simply serves to build up more Control Points to further improve the damage.

Ballistic’s Report – June 24, 2023
Two weeks absolutely packed with stuff. At this time two weeks ago, Artifacts of Legend had just funded, and concluded on June 10. Since then, I have finished up most of the layout, put most of the artwork in place, and launched the Isle of Sedra Kickstarter for The Fantasy Trip. Oh, also fulfillment for Best Supporting Actors should be truly on its way to finalization by next week. Two big things happened in the home life zone, but they shall remain private for now.

The worst was reflexively spinning around and throwing my hand out to catch something that was falling behind me - the pain was unbelievable, literally I sank out of my chair and curled up on the floor for a while. I hope you continue with the recovery, unfortunately it just takes time.

Re: Gaming Ballistic - GURPS Content Posts
Happy Unruly Colonists Day!
Here in MN, it's raining like crazy and the prognosticators expect this to continue off and on all day, with maximum chance of maximum thunderstorms right around the time we're supposed to set off explosives and stuff. Dang it. Artifacts of Legend Pushed! However, as a consolation prize for me, I pushed Artifacts of Legend u20230704 to Backerkit. If you've completed your survey, you will find an email from Backerkit allowing you to navigate to and download the file. You have completed the survey, right? (Ahem: for 40 folks the answer is "not yet, but I'm going to get right on that!") This is a "penultimate" file, in that there are still hyperlinks to hyperlink but I always do that as the very, very last step, because it's tedious and manual and I don't want to do it twice. Also, there's a chance that the proofers, playtesters, and I have missed a few typos or something, or that there's some mistake that needs fixing. If you find something, please submit it on the Gaming Ballistic Errata page. Choose the correct file, and use the form to let me know there's an issue. It really is the best way for me to ensure that such matters are addressed properly. Artifacts of Saga Thursday I also have a complete version of Artifacts of Saga, but I want to wait until Thursday to push that one, as I would like a day or two to give it the same degree of final editing pass that Legends got. But definitely expect the book by the end of the week. There's one art tweak I'd like to make, and I'll make it if the artist gets back to me by then; it "should" be an easy fix, but Life Happens. It's Not Too Late Late pledges are still being accepted on Backerkit, at the same price and with the same options as the main campaign. They will remain open until it's time to place the manufacturing order ... so probably another 10 days or so.

Hi, if you are interested I've looked under the hood of some of the Gaming Ballistic content, rebuilding it with Powers in order to use it in GURPS... check this thread

Three weeks this time. A lot of under the waterline activity, and a bit of fun vacation for the first time this summer.

Hello Doug,
I don't know where to send you a typo I found in the Bugstiary u20221216 e u20221218 special cover. Page 48 Bjöllufólk ~ Attribute Modifiers: ST +1 [1]; I think it should be [10] at the cost. |

https://gamingballistic.com/errata and find the book in the drop-down menu, fill in the questions so I know where to find the error, etc. That's the way guaranteed to get me to respond to the mistake.
