I think you go first because your basic speed is higher

Baogang takes a step forward and evaluates.

https://drive.google.com/file/...glI4IEgj7EGc-rV/view Baogang's new character sheet, freshly approved as his old build wasn't legal. I believe we can resume our fight now if you don't object.

Awesome.  Sounds good to me.
Here's my updated character from the Final Characters thread:

Different than the one at the top of this thread. Same points just removed extraneous skills.

Lane launches himself into a Heroic Charge to close the distance between the combatants. When he gets near, he snaps a kick out at Baogang.

Used Heroic charge to close the distance between them with no penalties.

Lane isn't in close combat, right? I'm guessing he's 1 yard away?

In reply to Dblade (msg # 6):
Starts at 7, closes to 1, and attacks into the next hex.
Kick has a Reach of 1, so he can attack into an adjacent hex.

What's the hex equivalent in distance measure for GURPS? is 1 hex equal to 1 yard? I need to know in order to figure out my best option here.

Translating Derrick Range to 'Thinking in Hexes':

Range 1 (Reach 1) is 'hex to hex'.  If my maths are right, you're standing next to each other.

I agree with EvilEyore

I can't find it directly in the book but I think a hex is a yard or a meter.  In this case a yard.

But, it works in yards too. I moved 6 yards, with reach "1" I can attack 1 yard away.  It has "C"lose Combat reach as well so I can also attack within 1 yard.

Using the yards and stuff, you can find this in Reach section of the Character Book on page 269.

Baogang makes good use of the Tai Chi Chuan principles of spiraling motion and yielding force, pivoting and stepping to the side as Lane comes in and lightly clearing the kicking leg away from him and up with a hand, hoping to unbalance his opponent with a Cloud Hands parry.

20:32, Today: Dblade rolled 14 using 3d6.  Judo Parry Roll, 13 +2 (Sideslip Retreat) +2 (Feverish Defense) -2 Riposte Total TN 15 -1 FP

20:59, Today: Dblade rolled 11 using 3d6.  Attack 1: Leg Grapple. 16 +1 (Evaluate) -2 Deceptive Attack Total 15.

Edit: Got called away before I could roll and add in Baogang's first attack. Pretty sure Lane can only Dodge, as it's a Leg Grapple, and his dodge is at -3 from the Riposte.

In reply to Dblade (msg # 11):
Break down this Riposte for me please.  The way I count it, your parry is 11 (like on your sheet), +2 for sideslip retreat (What is sideslip retreat?), +2 for feverish defense and -2 for riposte. That means Parry = 13.

Then the dodge penalty is -2 because that's what you paid for the riposte, right? Or am I missing something.

Sideslip retreat (p.124 of MA) is an alternate form of retreat used to move to a side instead of backwards, I'm using it with Baogang instead of the normal retreat so that he's still in range. With Judo because it's a mobile retreat it gives a +2.

Baogang's ordinary Judo Parry is 8 (16/2) +3 (standard) +2(Enhanced Parry) for a total of 13 not 11.

+2 from Sideslip Retreat (15,) +2 from Feverish defense (17)-2 from Riposte (15).

The additional -1 is because, as stated below, the Leg Grapple attempt was done as a Deceptive Attack which further reduces your defense.

Martial Arts pg 125:  "You cannot combine Deceptive Attack and Riposte, though. A Riposte is a Deceptive Attack – just one where you’re taking a defensive risk instead of an offensive one."

Gotcha. I can live with that, the -2 is fine.

Got it Thanks for the clarification. Makes sense.
08:47, Today: Vulco1 rolled 11 using 3d6. Dodge (11-2) vs 3d6.
Failed

---

Lane attempts to snap his leg back, but just isn't fast enough. His leg is grappled so he uses his fists.

---

Committed Attack (+2 to hit)
Rapid Strike (-3 for each punch)
-2 FP for Flurry of Blows, (makes each punch -1)

09:45, Today: Vulco1 rolled 11 using 3d6.  Punch 1 (18=17+2(Committed attack )-1(Rapid Strike+Flurry of Blows+Trained by Master)) vs 3d6.
09:48, Today: Vulco1 rolled 3 using 1d6+1.  Punch 1 Damage.

Um, I still get one more attack before you can try that. Also, pretty sure your punch damage should be waaaaay higher than that, given your various Arm and Striking STs and your ridiculously high Karate score.

In reply to Dblade (msg # 17):

Oh. Ok sorry.  Go for the attack.

Attack 2: Baogang utilizes his leverage on Lane's leg to try and take him down.

12:52, Today: Dblade rolled 9 using 3d6.  Quick Contest: Judo for takedown. 16+3 (Leg Grapple) 19. MoS 10

Lane uses the best of grappling skill, ST or DX to determine MoS, but his bonus from Arm ST and Striking ST don't apply.

Also seeking a clarification: If Lane doesn't go down, due to either winning the QC or Immovable Stance, can Baogang let go since those are technically reactions happening on Baogang's turn and letting go is a free action?

Sorry, two more questions in addition to that one; How are you getting two attacks in? The way I read it, riposte gives me a penalty on my defense Pg 125 of Martial Arts., but it doesn't give you an extra attack. And you can't use it with a deceptive attack, which is where I thought the second attack came from.

And from my read of it, Grapple is one attack then you do another to do damage.  Or is that wrong? Pg. 370 of campaigns says subsequent turns.

I'm just trying to figure out where you bought two attacks for this round.

This version of Baogang has extra attack. This is an update from previous versions, and its a fairly popular advantage choice in this scenario.
