Doug's Musical Ability, in GURPS
 
#31
Quote:It might, now. There are scads of new options in 4e. All-Out-Attack (Double), Rapid Strike, and what have you.
The rule in question is very simple, and I don't think GURPS will allow for an equivalent. Basically, with a declaration of what he's doing, Doug can make as many attacks as he wants; however, he must make all the to-hit rolls, or he misses all the attacks. Doug has high enough "to-hit" bonuses that this is actually a usable tactic for him. (He makes reference to this, btw, in the fight in Quincy's office at the end of DW2, when he chain-lightnings the bodyguard boomers.)
Quote:Can someone, please, point me to the chapter, so I can review it.
It's the final scenes of http://www.accessdenied-rms.net/dw2-08.shtml]this chapter.
Quote:The question becomes, what can an average person, in V&V carry?
Carrying Capacity is defined as "the maximum amount of weight in pounds that a character can lift and remain standing", which makes it equivalent to Extra Heavy Encumbrance, I believe. The Carry Cap calculation is

[ (S/10)^3 + (E/10) ] * W/2

where S=Strength, E=Endurance, and W=Character's body weight in pounds

As an example, a perfectly average character (Str 10, End 10) weighing 150 lbs. can carry at most 82.5 lbs. (75 * 1.1).

Okay, digging out my character sheet, Doug has Str 12 and (Ack! I misremembered!) End 15, and a body weight of 165. That makes his Carry Cap 266 (rounded down), which means I have the wrong value written on my character sheet (I have 259 there).
Quote:he knows what it is to be trapped with the slow children.
One reason he likes the Warriors, most folks therein have Heightened Intelligence.
Quote:(but not full photographic, unless you think he needs it).
He doesn't, and it would violate story canon to give it to him.
Quote:We’d need to spike his Will (I think a 20-25 wouldn’t be out of the question).
I'd certainly be okay with that, and it fits with [REDACTED] from [REDACTED].
Quote:Surviving several volleys of small arms fire, that’s going to be (my favorite supers advantage, and a requirement for my IST game) INJURY TOLERANCE: DAMAGE REDUCTION!
Of course, in V&V, that's what we in the player group refer to as the "Heightened Hit Points" power.
Quote:There are ways around it. Usually Perks and, conveniently enough, super powers!
I think Doug does say at one point in that passage that being as fast as he is helps him cheat a lot on martial arts.
