GURPS ULTRA LITE REMIX v0.5

CHAPTER 1 : RULES

This game assumes you know what “RPG,” “PC,” GM,” “3d6,” and “NPC” mean.

Levels
To build a PC, allocate levels to capabilities. Most heroes have 3-5 levels, but the GM can pick another number.
Capabilities include Strength (ST), Dexterity (DX), Intelligence (IQ), and Health (HT). You start at Normal, can
add levels to each, and can gain one extra level somewhere else by going below Normal in one category.
ST: Sets Hit Points (HP) and Basic Damage. Levels are Weak (8 HP, 1d6/2), Normal (10 HP, 1d6), Strong (14 HP,
2d6), and Very Strong (18 HP, 3d6).
DX: Gives your base roll whenever precision or reflexes dominate: attacking, driving, etc. Levels and base rolls:
Clumsy (8), Normal (10), Agile (12), Very Agile (14), and Extreme (16).
IQ: Gives your base roll when brains matter (code-breaking, science, etc.): Dull (8), Normal (10), Smart (12),
Very Smart (14), and Genius (16).
HT: Gives your base roll to resist poison, unconsciousness, and death: Sickly (8), Normal (10), Hardy (14), and
Very Hardy (18).

Tasks and Skills


To perform a task or resist something, roll 3d6. On a result no greater than your base roll, you succeed;
otherwise, you fail. Apply -6 to base rolls for tasks that require training: attacking, code-breaking, driving, etc.
The GM can vary difficulty by assigning a modifier from -10 (hard to do/resist) to +10 (easy!); e.g., Very Hardy
(18) resists “poison -5” at 13.
To be better at tasks, you can put some of your levels into skills. Skills go with professions the GM allows on
this adventure – Crook, Knight, Ninja, etc. Each skill has four levels; each level gives +2 for its tasks. Note level
and bonus; e.g., Crook 2 (+4).
Example: Neutralizing an alarm is a Crook task that takes brains (IQ). Two levels in IQ Very Smart (14) makes
the roll 14 - 6 = 8. A criminal with IQ Normal (10) and those two levels in Crook 2 (+8) rolls 10 - 6 + 8 = 12. A 3
on the dice always succeeds and an 18 always fails!

Reactions
The GM designates NPCs as hostile (fights/uses abilities against PCs), undecided, or friendly (fights/uses
abilities for PCs). For an undecided NPC, the GM rolls 3d6 for a reaction: 3-6 means he turns hostile, 7-14
means he won’t get involved, and 15-18 means he helps. Heroes can put one level in Charismatic, a capability
that turns hostile reactions neutral and neutral ones helpful.

Gear
Skills include relevant gear. Levels in combat skills (like Knight) give superior gear that improves weapon
damage and armor. Heroes can put one level in Wealthy, a capability that adds two levels to combat skills for
the sole purpose of weapon damage and armor.

Combat
Combat proceeds in turns. Each turn, each fighter picks one option (and one foe, if he attacks):
Melee attack: A trained task using DX and a skill like Karate Master (if unarmed) or Knight (if armed). The skill
must fit the weapon (e.g., Samurai for katana) to count when armed. Subtract half your enemy’s combat skill
bonus; e.g., with Agile (12) and Samurai 2 (+8), you need 12 - 6 + 8 = 14 to hit, or 10 if your foe has Ninja 2 (+8).
Success when unarmed does damage equal to half your Basic Damage roll (drop fractions); Weak heroes inflict
1 point. Use the full roll when armed. Add combat skill level (not bonus) to damage; e.g., Knight 2 (+8) gives +2.
Ranged attack: As above, but skills are things like Ninja for shuriken or Infantryman for rifles. Don’t subtract
half your enemy’s bonus. The GM may give up to -10 for range. Success does Basic Damage for bows and
thrown weapons, 2d for pistols, or 5d for rifles. Skill level still adds to damage.
Move: Run from ranged to melee or melee to ranged.
Defend: Duck! Subtract your full skill bonus from enemy melee attacks, half that from ranged ones.

Armor protects the wearer against damage. Subtract 1 from enemy damage rolls per level in a skill that uses
light, low-tech armor (e.g., Swashbuckler), 2 per level in one that uses heavy low-tech armor (e.g., Knight) or
light high-tech armor (e.g., Cop), or 4 per level in one that uses heavy high-tech armor (e.g., Commando).
Whatever is left comes off HP.
At 0 HP, roll base HT each turn before acting; failure means you pass out. At -HP, you collapse; roll base HT or
die. If you survive, make a daily HT roll to recover 1 HP.
