A compact, brutally efficient US Navy SEAL with a reputation for indiscriminate killing and an uncanny sixth sense for danger. Despite his small stature (Dwarfism), Sammy is an extraordinarily lethal combatant — fast, tough, fearless, and utterly without mercy. He draws weirdness to him like a lightning rod, and possesses genuine psionic combat awareness. Armed with dual pistols and a savage temperament, he’s the kind of frogman who makes even hardened SEALs uncomfortable.
His SEAL background explains the extraordinary breadth of skills — SEALs cross-train across land, sea, and air operations, which accounts for his Scuba, Boating, Diving Suit, and diverse vehicle skills alongside the combat specialties. His BUD/S training also explains the high ST, DX, and HT despite the Dwarfism — he had to work twice as hard as every other candidate to pass.
GURPS B p.550. The single most-referenced table in ranged combat. Memorise the first five entries.
| Range (yards) | Modifier | Typical Situation |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 0 | Point blank — across a room |
| 3 | -1 | Close quarters — hallway |
| 5 | -2 | Room-length engagement |
| 7 | -3 | Across a large room / street |
| 10 | -4 | Down a corridor |
| 15 | -5 | Across a courtyard |
| 20 | -6 | Parking lot engagement |
| 30 | -7 | Short outdoor range |
| 50 | -8 | Standard rifle engagement |
| 70 | -9 | Open ground |
| 100 | -10 | Long-range rifle |
Sammy’s Practical Accuracy — Pistols (Acc 2 typical)
| Turns Aiming | Bonus | With Pistol (Acc 2) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 (snap shot) | +0 | 14 at 2 yds | No aiming penalty for pistols at point blank |
| 1 | +Acc | +2 (eff. 16 at 2 yds) | |
| 2 | +Acc +1 | +3 | |
| 3+ | +Acc +2 | +4 |
Sammy at 7 yds snap shot: 14 - 3 = 11. At 15 yds: 14 - 5 = 9. Aimed at 7 yds: 14 + 2 - 3 = 13. SM -1 means enemies take -1 to hit Sammy at range — small target.
Sammy’s Practical Accuracy — Rifle (Acc 4 typical)
| Turns Aiming | Bonus | With Rifle (Acc 4) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 (snap shot) | +0 | 14 at 2 yds | |
| 1 | +Acc | +4 (eff. 18 at 2 yds) | |
| 2 | +Acc +1 | +5 | |
| 3+ | +Acc +2 | +6 |
Sammy aimed at 50 yds with rifle: 14 + 4 - 8 = 10. At 100 yds: 14 + 4 - 10 = 8.
Dual-Weapon Attack — Practical Accuracy
Dual-Weapon Attack (Guns/Pistol) is at level 11. This lets Sammy fire both pistols in the same turn. Each shot is rolled separately at 11, minus range penalties.
| Range (yds) | Per-Gun Skill | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 11 | Point blank dual-fire |
| 3 | 10 | Close quarters |
| 5 | 9 | Room-length — starting to push it |
| 7 | 8 | Across a room — risky with both guns |
Dual-Weapon Attack is most effective at close range. At 7+ yards, consider switching to single aimed shots.
- Psionic elements: Sammy has Combat Sense 10 (ESP/Probability Alteration) and Common Sense (ESP) as psionic skills. Combined with Danger Sense and Weirdness Magnet, he’s the team’s supernatural lightning rod.
- Dwarfism + SM -1: Sammy is noticeably small. This affects Disguise (-2) but helps with Shadowing in crowds (+2). He’s harder to hit at range (SM -1).
- Dual-Weapon Attack: Trained to fire two pistols simultaneously at reduced penalty — his signature combat style.
- Breadth over depth: Nearly all skills at 1 point — Sammy knows a little about everything and a lot about violence. His DX 14 carries most physical skills to respectable levels.
- Reputation: Known to be savage and indiscriminate in killing — this precedes him and affects reactions negatively.

Multi-Action Combat Skill Chains
Common tactical sequences Sammy would use in play. Each “chain” lists the maneuvers, rolls, and order for a multi-turn combat action. References: GURPS Basic Set — Campaigns, Chapters 11-13.
Chain 1: Dual-Pistol Engagement — Signature Move (1-Turn)
Situation: Two targets at close range. Sammy draws both pistols and lets rip. His calling card.
| Turn | Maneuver | Action | Roll | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Attack | Dual-Weapon Attack — fire both pistols at separate targets | DWA (Guns/Pistol) 11 - range mod each | Two separate attacks at 11. Each target defends separately. |
At 2 yds: two attacks at 11 each. At 5 yds: two attacks at 9 each. The probability of hitting BOTH targets drops off fast beyond 5 yards. Reloading: Sammy must holster/drop one pistol to reload the other, or carry pre-loaded spares.
Chain 2: Aimed Rifle Shot — Precision Kill (2-Turn)
Situation: Single target at medium range. Sammy switches to precision mode.
| Turn | Maneuver | Action | Roll | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Aim | Aim rifle at target | — | Gain +Acc (typically +4). Can take a Step. |
| 2 | Attack | Fire aimed shot | Guns (Rifle) 14 + 4 Acc - range mod | Single precise shot. |
At 20 yds: 14 + 4 - 6 = 12. At 50 yds: 14 + 4 - 8 = 10. Sammy is a competent marksman when he takes his time.
Chain 3: Close-Quarters Brawl — Bar Fight Mode (Multi-Turn)
Situation: Sammy gets into a close-quarters fight. He’s fast, tough, and fights dirty.
| Turn | Maneuver | Action | Roll | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Attack | Brawling punch | 14 | Thr-1 cr = 1d-1 cr. Parry 11 (with CR). |
| 2 | Attack | Knee/kick (Brawling) | 12 | Brawling-2. Thr cr = 1d cr. Reach C,1. |
| 3 | Attack | Wrestling grapple | 13 | Initiate grapple → follow up with choke/pin. Parry 10 (with CR). |
| Alt | Attack | Knife thrust/slash | 14 | Thr-1 imp (thrust) or Sw-1 cut (slash). Parry 10 (with CR). |
Sammy’s ST 14 gives him punishing unarmed damage for his size. High Pain Threshold means he never takes shock penalties — he keeps swinging when others flinch.
Chain 4: Garrote — Silent Kill (2-3 Turn)
Situation: Sentry removal or assassination. Approach from behind, garrote applied.
| Turn | Maneuver | Action | Roll | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Attack | Approach (Stealth 13) + Garrote attack from behind | Garrote 14 | If unaware target: no active defense. Contest each turn. |
| 2+ | — | Maintain garrote — Quick Contest | Garrote 14 or ST 14 vs victim’s ST or HT | Victim loses 1 FP per turn Sammy wins. At 0 FP → unconscious. |
Sammy’s Garrote at 14 and ST 14 make this very effective. Combined with Stealth 13, he’s a capable silent killer. Less Sleep 5 means he’s awake on watch when others aren’t.
Chain 5: Danger Sense → Ambush Avoidance (Passive)
Situation: The team is walking into a trap. Sammy’s Danger Sense fires.
| Phase | What Happens | Roll | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| GM Check | GM secretly rolls Sammy’s Per (or IQ) | Per 11 or IQ 11 | Danger Sense triggers automatically — no action required from Sammy |
| On Success | Sammy gets a warning — “something’s wrong” | — | +1 to defense/dodge on the first turn of the ambush. Can shout a warning to the team. |
| Combat Reflexes | Sammy never freezes | — | +6 to recover from mental stun, +1 all active defenses, +2 Fright Check |
This is Sammy’s most important team contribution outside combat — his supernatural early warning system. Danger Sense + Combat Reflexes + Combat Sense (psionic) means the team is very hard to ambush when Sammy is on point.
Chain 6: Psionic Combat Sense — Battlefield Awareness (Active)
Situation: Sammy uses Combat Sense to gain a read on the tactical situation.
| Phase | Action | Skill | Target | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Concentrate | Focus psionic awareness | Combat Sense | 10 | ESP/Probability Alteration — gain vague awareness of tactical threats |
| 2. Interpret | Parse the information | — | — | GM provides cryptic or partial information based on margin of success |
Combat Sense at 10 succeeds ~50% of the time. Upgrade path: improve to 12-13 for reliable use.
Chain 7: Escape & Evasion — Captured (Extended)
Situation: Sammy is restrained or captured. His Escape skill and small size come into play.
| Phase | Action | Skill | Target | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Assess | Check restraints | Escape 12 or Lockpicking 10 | 12/10 | Determine method of restraint |
| 2. SM Bonus | Use small size | — | +1 from SM -1 | Dwarfism makes Sammy harder to restrain — smaller wrists, more wiggle room |
| 3. Escape | Work free | Escape 12 (+1 SM) = effective 13 | 13 | Or Slip Handcuffs technique at 7 for cuffs specifically |
| 4. Evade | Stealth away | Stealth 13 + Shadowing 10 (+2 in crowds) | 13/12 | Small, easily lost in a crowd |
Sammy’s Dwarfism is an asset here — SM -1 gives +1 to Escape attempts. Combined with Escape 12 and Less Sleep 5 (wait for the guards to doze), he’s slippery.
Chain 8: Vehicle Pursuit — Driving Combat (Multi-Turn)
Situation: Chase scene in vehicles. Sammy drives with one hand, shoots with the other.
| Turn | Maneuver | Action | Roll | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Attack | Drive + fire pistol out window | Driving 13 (control) + Guns (Pistol) 14 - range - penalties | -4 for firing from a moving vehicle (typical). |
| Alt | Concentrate | Combat Driving technique | Combat Driving 13 | Evasive driving under fire. |
Sammy’s DX 14 makes him a capable wheelman, and his pistol skills translate to vehicle combat better than most. At close range (2 yds, pursuit): 14 - 4 (vehicle) = 10.
Chain 9: Knife Kill — Close Quarters Decisive (1-2 Turn)
Situation: Knife drawn, enemy in reach. Sammy goes for the kill.
| Turn | Maneuver | Action | Roll | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Attack | Knife thrust (vitals -3 or neck -5) | Knife 14 - 3 = 11 (vitals) or 14 - 5 = 9 (neck) | Vitals: x3 damage. Neck: x2 cutting. |
| 2 | Attack | Follow-up slash or thrust | Knife 14 | If first attack hit vitals for x3, target may be down. |
With ST 14, Sammy’s knife does Thr-1 imp = 1d-1 impaling or Sw-1 cut = 1d+1 cutting (ST 14 thrust = 1d, swing = 2d). Vitals hit: (1d-1)×3 = 0-15 injury. Lethal.

The story so far
- Session 01Operation Living Bomb →Sammy arrived at Las Vegas Airport and introduced himself as “the Savage.” He sized up Ronnie Vint and Guy LeFleur the way he sized up everything — quickly, quietly, with an eye toward where the…
- Session 02Terra-ble First Impressions →At the Voss Campus, Sammy spotted Brittany — a woman on the base who moved wrong.
- Session 3What Happens in Vegas →Sammy met Beth at the club on the first night and she stayed.
- Session 04Fallen Stars →Sammy configured the limpet mines before departure — eight tear gas, four concussion — and ran a systems check on the invisibility surface.
- Session 05Deep Sea Fragments and Desert Swarms →Brittany was in the briefing room.
- Session 06Vegas Vacation, Zombie Vexation →The parking lot was target identification and trigger discipline, and Sammy ran both until the swarm was thin enough to leave to the knights and the Brittanys.
- Session 07The Vegas Hive: Napalm and New Powers →Command handed Sammy the Vegas operation, and he ran it the way a frogman runs a demolition job — methodically, with overwhelming material and a high tolerance for the absurd.
- Session 8Earth’s Last Stand →Sammy went through the door a half-step behind Ronnie and stayed there — second man, weapon up, covering the angles while Ronnie did the loud work.
- Session 9The Day the Timeline Unwound →Sammy saw it happen the way he sees the things other people miss.
