Rolling is with 3d6, and Autofail is on an 18, or 10 higher than your skill whichever is lower (so if your skill is a 7, you autofail on a 17 as well and skill of 6 autofails on a 16, etc) autofail is also lower for specific things, such as making magic items: a 16+ always fails, and an 18 is a critical failure that can have dire consequences. None of them are required but having them does give you more options.Įvery skill can auto-fail(1 in 18) and auto-succed (1 in 18) no metter how good you are or how high DC is, which can screw over plans that depends on something minor succeding.Autofail is 1 in 216 though for most things, not 1 in 18. Want a fantasy campaign for example? Pick up fantasy, magic, and Banestorm (setting in the world of Yrth). They have a gazillion (), especially if you pick up the 3rd edition stuff which is mostly compatible. I'd pick up at least a couple depending on what sort of campaign you want. What you'll need to start up 4th edition GURPS:Īnything beyond this is optional, but really it helps to have the Genre/world books. You can glance through GURPS Lite () to get a very basic set of rules Hitpoints are low, and combat can be very deadly. There are no classes, though you can build templates if you'd like for example, a member of the Knights Templar would have some specific advantages such as a minimum status (nobility), reputation, clerical investment, as well as specific skills: Riding, lance, sword, probably savior-faire, area-knowledge, maybe heraldry, etc (sorry,that's from memory). You can have a mostly melee character with only a couple of spells, but it is very expensive pointwise to be good at both so most people won't be focusing on both. Spells are individual skills you can be much better at creating a fireball than picking a lock by magic. Psionic powers are advantages, but the skill to use them are skills increasing you attributes costs pointsĪdvantages cost points and disadvantages (and quirks) give you points. Skills are mostly based off of DX (physical skills) and IQ (mental skills, Psionic skills, Spells, etc). Creation is buying your attributes, advatanges and skills, as well as disadvantages/quirks, then buying starting gear.Īttributes are very simple: Strength, Dexterity, IQ, and Health. GURPS is a point based system you don't roll anywhere in the character generation process. My books are out of date by one revision or so, mostly 2nd - 3rd revision, and the version numbering at that point was not consistent iirc. Maybe I would like it more if I played it longer (or before D&D). Rules are more complicated then in D&D and I don't like going through rulebooks every 5 mins.Īnyway I have limited experience with GURPS and those are my thoughts.

Is it worth it? IMO it isn't, mainly because I don't like playing average characters, which most of GURPS characters are (above average are something like one-use people - "I cook the best meals but I don't have clue how to tie my shoes"), but it more real then D&D so if you like that it may be worth it. Every skill can auto-fail(1 in 18) and auto-succed (1 in 18) no metter how good you are or how high DC is, which can screw over plans that depends on something minor succeding. The success with skills is determined not just by beating DC but how much did you beat it. For example if you would like to cast something like Summon Monster spell in D&D you would have to invest in the skill Conjuration and then invest in its subskill Summon Monster. The difference with D&D is that it is skill based system. I haven't played GURPS much but in my limited experience every time your GM says "And the battle begins" you start thinking about your new character.
GURPS works something like "real" life meaning that if you do things like in D&D (called quests) you will make couple of characters per session.
