The GURPS Range Ruler was created by T Bone based on the

GURPS is a registered trademark of Steve Jackson Games.

The GURPS Range Ruler is a tool for

finding combat ranges on your battle map

quickly , without counting hexes. It will

instantly give you the attack modifier for that

range, and also the Size Modifier for any

object you measure on the map. (It even sports

a handy mini-excerpt from the Size and

Speed/Range Table on p. B550.)

Tips on getting your money’s worth:

1. Remember that range and size round up .

Example: A measurement of exactly 7 yards

is ±3; above that, up to and including 10

yards, is ±4.

2. At under 2 yards, the indicated modifier is a

penalty, for size. The rules dictate a flat +0

and no bonus for range up close – but a

bonus is sometimes sensible (usually out of

combat; e.g., shooting a lock at close range).

3. Your foe thinks he can mock your crossbow

because the Range Ruler only goes to 10

hexes? Think again, Pincushion. Lay out the

ruler to its full 10” . . . and then flip it over

for another 10”. Range identified. Twang.

Shtuck.

4. Want to flip the ruler a second time? Feel

free. That’ll let you measure between 20”

and 30”, all of which gives a modifier of ±7.

5. You can continue flipping to measure

greater distances, but you’ll have to refer to

p. B550 to find the modifier. (Aren’t you

running out of game table space by now?)

6. Another use is as a stand to hold flying

creatures above the battle map. Stand a

Range Ruler vertically (use a folded but

unglued one, or use a binder clip as a base).

Tack on a Post-It note at the right height for

the flier. Nifty! As long as the ceiling is set at

10 yards, and nobody at the game table

makes a breeze. (To find distance to a flying

target, use another ruler or the classic

gamers’ hack: larger of distance or height,

plus half the smaller . . . even Pythagoras

used that when gaming.)

7. The Range Ruler is a mere convenience

when you’ve got a hex map – but if you’re

playing au naturel (without a map, silly!), it

really comes in handy. Ditch hexes! Go raw!

Instructions: Fold in half along dotted line and glue halves together on the unprinted side.
