When you do a skill check in GURPs do you just roll for success or do you use the difference between the target number and the roll to determine the degree of failure or success?
For example if youre trying to jump over a river and you miss your target roll by 1 then you might just get wet, but if you miss by 5 you might get swept down stream?
So some examples: (Stole this from American Primeval) You find a lost child alone in the woods. You telegraph that it could be a trap. Of course some of the players will be tempted to help.
Or the classic from Keep on the Borderlands: The players stumble across a room of sleeping orc children. One of them wakes up and looks at you with wide eyes. Now the players must make a hard choice.
So I have a key set to scroll up and down and of course i use the vim motions, but its annoying to have to wait a few milliseconds every time I want to hold the key down to move several character, or scroll down several lines. I wish my vim motions were as responsive as a video game character. Surely there is a mod to do this in visual mode only, I wouldnt want to try typing without a delay.
