Continuing the GURPS 101 series on the fundamental stats (ST, DX, IQ, HT) and the derived statistics, we turn our sights on Dexterity, as well as two of the things it influences: Basic Speed and Move.

Congrats, man! You must be so proud! Now go enjoy your sleepless nights and try not to think about how quickly Short Stack and Newbie will be bringing boys home to meet Dad 🙂
S: I love being a big sister.
D: you won't be saying that when she starts trying to date your friends.
