Page 63 of GURPS Martial Arts 2nd ed:

  • Optional Rules: To better represent the effect of fatigue on a contestant, use these rules.
  • When a fighter's fatigue is reduced by 2/3 he will suffer the effects of the Low Pain Threshold disadvantage (see p. B29).
  • If he has the High Pain Threshold advantage, he temporarily loses it instead,
  • while if he already had the Low Pain Threshold disadvantage he suffers twice the standard penalties!
  • This represents the weakening effect of a long fight, making a tiring fighter more susceptible to a knockout.

It simply doubles: -1 becomes -2, -2 becomes -4, -3 becomes -6, and -4 becomes -8. The cap at -4 assumes no special traits, much as the rules for mortal wounds and death don't repeatedly tack on ". . . except if you have Unkillable."
