I feel like recreating the mights and weaknesses of OoTS's Varsaavis... I better make a character quick!

There still is a slot, right?

I'm fairly certain that the point of this game is that there's not really much of a limit on characters. I think? I don't know. But we don't have THAT many people.

[Weirdsound]

Yeah. No limits on characters created. If everybody shows up all the time I might crack down on the number of characters allowed per session.

[Skyrunner]

Dammit, GURPS site is down because of SOPA >:-0 Imagine if Google did that. Where would we be?

Anyways, I got the Lite set from a mirror, will edit this post with character!


EDIT: The GURPS system is really attractive I'm teetering between a smoothtalking twohanded weapon using girl, or a double wielding autocrossbow person

EDIT2 : Very very torn.


EDIT3: Hopefully, this is OK. There are some things the GMs must look at, such as the Vow, Unnatural Feature, and Intolerance.

Also, I am gunning for a "Automatic Crossbow" as a weapon: a repeating crossbow with a clip of 8. It looks very similar to a regular crossbow. It would be nice if it had a firing rate comparable to a pistol.

I'm not sure about starting weapons/armor, wealth etc, so help me with that :3

Do note that this is TL 4. A pistol is a single shot weapon that take maybe around 10-20 seconds to reload. I'm willing to allow a "repainted" version of the repeating crossbow that the chinese had (stats on the GURPS Low Tech, if you don't have it, I can send you the needed stats), unless weird veto it because of fluff reasons. It has a "magazine" of 10 shots, and is able to shoot a shot every other turn while it has ammo, assuming you are strong enough to draw it without issue. It also isn't that powerful, strength wise, other crossbows (and fire arms) are likely to be more damaging.

[Skyrunner]

Wait, how long does it take for a regular crossbow to reload ?

[Felius]

If the crossbow is rated the same your strength, 4 seconds if I remember right. If the crossbow is stronger than you, it might take considerably more, including requiring the use of a mechanical help such as a goat foot or a cranequin.

With fast-draw (arrow/bolts) you can shave a second (if I remember correctly) out of the reloading time. Other than that, there aren't that many options for what you want.

TL Is Tech Level. TL 3 is medieval, TL 4 is around Renaissance/age of sail, TL 5 would be industrial Revolution.

Thr+x is damage, that is base thrust damage for the ST (in case of bows and crossbows, the ST the weapon is rated, not your own) plus x.
Weight is weight in pounds. After the slash is for the ammo, per "full magazine", or in case of normal crossbows, a single bolt.
Acc is accuracy. If you spend a turn aiming, you get that number as a bonus for your attack. If the weapon is of high quality this number might be higher by 1 or 2.
Range, in case of bows and cross bows is a multiplier that you apply to a something (I believe it's basic thrown distance, but I might be wrong right now), which is based on ST (again, the weapon's, not yours), to get final range, in yards.
RoF is rate of fire.
Shots is how many shots it can shoot before reloading. Inside the (x) is the reloading time in seconds.
ST is the minimum ST to use the weapon. This is not the same that the ST the weapon is rated at. I need to re read the specific rules though.
Bulk is basically the size of the weapon. A high bulk make it difficult to fire on the move, or to conceal the weapon.

[Skyrunner]

I see, the Fast-draw(Arrow) skill will instantly load a crossbow if it succeeds. Better throw away something for it.

Though, what about

Unnatural Feature 2 [-2] : Bright silver hair        <<---Please advise me on this!
Major Vow [-10]
Intolerence - Arrigian Empire : [-?] ------------------->How frequent?

these three? Especially the Intolerence one.


Also, are bolts reusable after firing?

[Felius]

No. It shaves one second out of 4. It makes a crossbow reload in 3 seconds instead.

[Skyrunner]

Oh, yes, I see.

Umm... how many seconds is a round? Dang, three rounds to just reload.

Also, are bolts reusable?
Is an attack of 1d6+1 weak?
Umm... umm.... Sorry, so many questions >.> This is my first time at all TRPGs in general.


@Weird - Is it possible for some more faster reloading skills/advantages? >.> Or does GURPS not support such things?

[KujiUn]

Hey, hey. We stuck through it. It takes 10 seconds to reload my gun.

You should be fine with bolts; they don't cost that much.

...I have no idea about your damage, though.

[Skyrunner]

I was worried enemies would totally annihilate you in 4 turns >.>

I'm really not sure of the damage, though.

[KujiUn]

Then you switch to melee or something. :p

[Skyrunner]

Why are ranged weapons so useless T.T I'd better throw away my Gunslinger skill and something else then ... 25 skill points of oneshotness! singleshotness!
