  Damn I have gurps in the Brain… I was wondering why an average human with a sword has a 50% a man standing still (no defensive actions) in gurps. DX10; Average Skill -5(unskilled); +1 close combat; +4 full attack Total: Roll 3 six sided dice below or equal to 10 I guess its OK cause in D20… an average unskilled human has a 75% of hitting the same target. So what gives with this odds. BAB+0; Unproficient Penalty-4; Standing completely still (AC5); Wreckless(charge) Attack +2, unaware +2; Total: Roll a 20 sided die Rolling higher or equal to 5.
First of all… In GURPS every round is a second while in D20 its 6 seconds. Now at one second with out anybody telling you anything, lets say some surprised you with a line. “HIT THAT PSYCHO WITH THE CLUB” Even if the psycho did not see that baseball bat at arms reach and had not time to react do you think you would have hit the psycho?
I guess not. And that’s just a second. So in six seconds would you be able to hit A Pscho standing completely still as he/she stand there not noticing you as it looks to kill you for no apparent reason. Adrenalin and Circumstance will certainly give you the advantage. I guess that is a +5 to hit if you were given a couple of seconds ( no more than 6, lets say a +1 bonus to aim for every second he spent preparing, with the exception of the first second stumbling into the opponent) to compose yourself and all.
Now you have a 99% of success. OK now my conscience is settled… Soccer I scored a goal I didn’t think I could! It was about to rain as the winds picked up and the time was a minute to six. It was 3 all in a half court game with small ground ball goals a foot and a half high and three feet wide. Scoring was only made when the other team failed to provide a defense against a counter attack. Since the goals were so small, a person standing infront would not give any space for the ball to enter so it was a tactical puzzle as well as one of ability. I had the ball and the defense had already settled into postion: 1 man, JC. Chip was on his way to support him but did not hurry cause it was to difficult a shot. I thought the same to. It was an imposiblity that kinda gave me courage to try something new.
I brought the ball up and made a simple feint, bring what should be my kicking leg over the ball missing it as my weight feigned the direction of my shot, my left leg just tipped it forward at the same time… the same motion one would make before he would find himself sprawling head first into the dirt. It was a playful attempt. We had 6 attempts in 10 minutes… crosses which was my favorite tactic. But failed cause it is to easy to read given that it took more time to aim for such a small goal.
I was just so ecstatic cause before I made the goal there was an omen. The wind carried the clouds which flew so low scraping against the lower atmosphere similar to the view of a crushing wave as you are looking up from the bottom of the sea. You can almost see the difference in the air humidity that prevented the clouds from going any lower. I felt the rain give me power, like it always did when we played soccer in rainy days in highschool. I remember how painfully hot my shoes would be from a soccer game during hot days. And how my asthma would suddenly clog a passage beneath my through and I would black out almost every heartfelt game of soccer.
The rain was like a friend to me when I played soccer. On a good field it would not flood. On a good field while it rained I could run twice as long as I would normally. I remember how it was to run for the ball and steal it from people who thought 15 feet is a safe distance from me. I used to run 100m in 12 seconds when I was 2nd year, that’s 2 seconds away from Philippines athletes I timed when I saw them train.
I know run faster in soccer cause I am always trying to outrun the opponent’s reaction time. Soccer Overview I better teach cams to be more aggressive so that she wont be mistaken as helpless in the game. I can show her that guys immediately are careful around her… not that it is a bad thing but she can take advantage of it to keep ball possession. She has gotten better already but the guys and me are still too big to beat through skill alone. There was this girl Joanna and she reminded me too much of Jimmy Colt (as pat would say) it just that her facial features and voice frighteningly reminds me of him… and she has a sharp ending nose (like jodie foster but just the end… she has a normal bridge)… which has to be Caucasian… despite her obviously Chinese face.
I thought it was a plastic surgery (given that I watch ETC’s nip and tuck) but she would not be playing soccer if it was such. Well I guess I am pretty much respected as a good attacker these days. I mean, the last time people had the confidence to let me attack I did not let them down by making good crosses. I also stop aerials better now allowing me to pass or attack quickly. My fundamentals are good and my accuracy has improved to 60% percent (skill 12 in gurps).
My passing is 80% (skill 13 in gurps), and my control would be around 90% (skill 14). That would make an average of 13… and at this many hours playing I must have 200 hours on soccer (give or take lack of excersize at various points of my life) Hey that would give me a dex of 14!! But I guess its around 13, a +1 cause it is my favorite sport. 13 is a great stat for GURPS… Score 11-12 will be noticeable in a group of average people while a 14-15 would stick out. 13 is right before sticking out. My Stats in gurps is I guess ST9 DX13 IQ13 HT11(in the habit of exercise). Dilemma Soccer is even great while it is hot cause I never burn as much calories in a shorter amount of time. Rain just means I play longer to burn as much. Recently as school started for a bunch of people I find myself with less and less people to play with. And I can feel so flab returning… Not that I am that sensitive but I don’t feel as confident since I don’t play as much.
