How Tough is My Stuff[]
When fighting zombies or gear-rending claw-creatures, you can use this optional rule to roll for HT when gear is grabbed.[1]
| HT | Example |
|---|---|
| HT 8 | T-shirts, sweatpants |
| HT 10 | Windbreakers, Oxford-cloth shirts, sweaters |
| HT 12 | Most armor; jackets, sweatshirts, jeans, gi pants, backpacks; fitness clothing
such as wrestling singlets and sports bras |
| HT 14 | Judo gi tops; military load-bearing equipment; possibly fantasy equivalents like
Delver's Webbing[2] |

- (Technical Grappling) Does the ST penalty affect mim ST to use a weapon?
if you are wielding a weapon and you're being grappled such that you aren't strong enough to meet the ST requirements, you may well take extra penalties.
- Low Velocity Slams, a Murphy? post 31 mentioned idea for a Ready to resist Slam and Shove, not incorporated

GURPS 101:HT-and-Fatigue Points (2014/01/09)
Note that a lot of grappling attacks allow rolls vs. HT, and a very high HT can render you very, very resistant (nearly immune) to anyone but the strongest and most skilled. The percentages are extreme enough to make me almost want to waive the “spending Control Points can never drop your foe’s resistance roll lower than HT” that we introduced in Technical Grappling to prevent an epidemic of crippled limbs!
