Tech Level Default

Alden Loveshade · 08-06-2010, 02:41 PM

In GURPS Basic Characters 4th edition on pg. 168, it shows how an IQ skill at one TL defaults to the same skill at a lower or higher TL. How can you do that with GURPS Character Assistant 4?

IIRC, this is something that we still don't have GCA doing automatically, but it's near the top of the list of things to do for the next update.

You can manually add the skill to the default() tag with the correct default penalty for the difference in TLs.

This is very good news; I'm involved in a campaign where characters have skills ranging between TL8 and TL10, and the lack of ability to handle cross-TL defaults (not to mention the difficulty of entering both a TL8 and a TL10 skill on the list) is my biggest current problem with GCA.

(Posting just to make it clear that Alden isn't the only person wanting this.)
