Injury Tolerance

Cost: Variable

Injury Tolerance is an exotic physical Advantage where you have fewer physiological weaknesses than ordinary living beings.

Basic Forms

• Damage Reduction ([50] for a divisor of 2, [75] for 3, [100] for 4, [125] for 5; (Linear Measurement column of the Size and Speed/Range Table + 2) x 25 for 10+
• Diffuse [100]: include all the benefits of No Blood [5], No Brain [5], and No Vitals [5]
• Homogenous [40]; include all the benefits of No Brain [5] and No Vitals [5]
• Independent Body Parts [35]
• No Blood [5]: includes No Neck Arteries
• No Brain [5]
• No Eyes [5] which prevents crippling sight: unclear if it removes a -9 way to ignore the usual DR 2 which applies when hitting skull at -7
  • also No Windows variant in Toolkit 2
• No Head [7]: includes benefits of No Brain [5], No Nose [1] and No Ears, the drawbacks of No Skull DR (-2), and presumably unwritten perks of No Jaw and No Face, does NOT include No Bite per GURPS Fantasy example of no-head creatures biting/eating people (plant)
• No Neck [5]: includes No Neck Arteries
• No Vitals [5]: includes No Groin and No Heart; unclear if it includes lacking a silver cord as that's added new
• Unbreakable Bones [10]
• Unliving [20]
• Unstoppable

Notes:

• No Spine doesn't exist anywhere
• No Joints doesn't exist anywhere
• No Legs or Lame: Missing Legs is effectively a form of this (no legs to injure)
  • presumably includes No Pelvis and No Leg Arteries
• One Arm or One Hand prevents injury to the missing limb/extremity.
  • includes No Arm Arteries
• Since Homogenous includes No Brain [5] remove that cost for any advantage that also includes No Brain. So Homogenous and No Head would be [52] not [57]

I'd just define it as a new IT, inline with the costs of High Pain Threshold and Recovery, and call it 10 points, with a +100% enhancement if it affects FP loss as well.
