Alchemy note:
Note p.B438, Poisons, Delay--each +1 to SM doubles the delay of a poison, each -1 to SM halves it.
GURPS Martial Arts
These optional rules are in use: p.MA68, Targeted Attacks; p.MA80, Combinations; p.MA100 and p.MA 109, the uses of Evaluate under Countering Feint and Deceptive Attacks and Evaluate and Non-Combat Skills; p.MA100, the bit under Feints about resisting with your best skill, not just the one you're using, and Beats (same page) for unsubtle attempts at penalizing defenses.
See p.103 Fast-Draw from Odd Positions and p.MA104 Quick-Readying Nearby Weapons for grabbing weapons during surprise attacks.
p.MA111 Reversed Grip allows for a tad more impaling damage and the use of unarmed parries.
For alien monsters, animals, and toothy sentients p.MA115, Teeth will be a useful reference.
p.MA118 Shoving People Around; p.MA119, Pain in Close Combat and p.MA118, Grab and Smash! allow for hostage-takers (literally) strong-arming someone.
p.MA137, both New Hit Locations and Notes for Existing Hit Locations are in use.
GURPS Thaumatology
Resonant Designs and Materials, Thaumatology p.110
Optionally, the GM can reduce enchantment costs by 2% per stylistic feature that makes the item blatantly appropriate
for its enchantment, so that anyone who looks at it and knows that it’s magical can guess some of what it does. The
viewer should at most require Cultural Familiarity with the maker’s culture, and perhaps have to make an IQ+4 roll. If
the symbolism and clues require close inspection, or a roll against a skill such as Occultism or Thaumatology, then the
reduction is only 1%. Such details also tend to be stylish, flashy, or rich – thieves should certainly be strongly tempted
on sight!
Quirky Enchantment
Failures or critical failures give a magic item quirks or odd features, they do not waste time or materials. Critical successes add slight benefits or cancel out critical failure effects.
House Rules
Cocked dice: Dice that roll off the table or do not land flat are void, reroll.
Tattoo-based Energy Reserves are limited to a number of FP equal to the subject's HP.
GURPS Terrain & Weather Modifiers:
Surfaces:
Gravel, mud, snow: -1 to -4 to Stealth, same number applies as a bonus to Tracking rolls.
Sand (dry or wet) gives the bonus to Tracking but not the penalty to Stealth.
Rain:
May create bad visibility (-2 to attack, -2 to Vision and Hearing, may wash away/muddle scents, -2 to Smell rolls).
Slippery or unstable surfaces: Mud, slick pavement, etc.: -2 to attack, -1 to defend, -2 to -4 to Climbing, Jumping, Running, or misc. DX checks for movement.
Lightning: -1 to -4 to Vision and Hearing rolls for being outside near frequent lightning (multiple times per minute).
Fog/Mist: -1 to -9 to Vision checks.
Wind: up to -4 to attack with projectile weapons, up to -8 in Hearing penalties (for an imminent hurricane or tornado).
