Melee Weapons Notes

[1] The spear end.

[2] Hook enables the rules under Hook (GURPS Low-Tech, p. 54), and may also damage the victim.

[3] May get stuck; see Picks (p. B405).

[4] Reduce penalty for targeting chinks in armor (p. B400) by -2.

[5] Attack receives damage bonuses for whichever of Boxing (p. B182), Brawling (p. B182), or Karate (p. B203) is used to deliver it – exactly as if it were an unarmed strike. Claws don’t improve damage with such weapon-assisted blows.

[6] Gives the hand (only) DR. A bladed gauntlet provides DR 4 and takes 10 seconds to don. For other weapons, this indicates a metal hilt that provides DR 4, cumulative with glove DR – although the hilt is too cramped to accommodate metal gauntlets. Panther claws don’t enclose the hand completely; DR applies only on a roll of 1-3 on 1d.

[7] Attempts to parry flails and kusaris are at -4; fencing weapons (“F” parry) can’t parry at all! Attempts to block such weapons are at -2. Halve these penalties for the bola perdida, bolas, nunchaku, thonged club, and weighted scarf.

[8] Use Brawling or Karate parry if better than usual weapon parry.

[9] Can be thrown.

[10] Specify maximum reach (1-7 yards) when bought. Cost and weight are per yard. The whip-dagger requires ST 5, +1 per yard. Many special rules apply; be sure to see Whips (p. B406).

[11] If you miss with a kick, roll vs. DX to avoid falling.

Ranged Weapon Notes

[1] An arrow or bolt for a bow, crossbow, or spring-loaded gauntlet is $2. A dart for a pistol crossbow or sling is $1. A dart for a slurbow is $0.50. A dart for a blowpipe, a lead pellet for a prodd or sling, a shaped rock for a heavy sling, or a shaped stone for a stone-launching stick, is $0.10. A shaped sling stone is $0.06. Unshaped rocks and stones suitable for slings, heavy slings, and stone-launching sticks can be found for free, but they’re less accurate: -1 to hit.

[2] May entangle or ensnare the target; see Special Ranged Weapons (pp. B410-411) and Cloaks (p. B404).
