Enemy: Bodkin Archer, also CER: Reverse Engineer An Encounter

If you might be like me and you have difficulty gauging how much challenge is appropriate for a situation, then metrics like CER can be pretty helpful. You can see how in a previous post I used the system to renegotiate the difficulty of a challenging thought.

Enemy: Caravan to Ein Arris' "Fighter I"

Introduction

Caravan to Ein Arris is a free campaign for people just learning GURPS. It was originally created for GURPS 3rd Edition, and then ported to 4th edition. A criticism I have heard recently was that the enemy encounters seem too powerful for an introductory campaign. So, as an exercise in the application of the Combat Effectiveness Rating (CER) from Pyramid # 3/77 Combat, I wanted to see how hard it might be to make a more fair version of the encounter.
