Calculator

The Calculator in GCS provides quick tools for resolving common movement and action checks from the rules. These calculators automatically use your character’s attributes and encumbrance values to display results, saving you from manual table lookups and calculations.

Opening the calculator

To open the calculator from your character sheet:

  • Select Calculator calculator from the Character Sheet toolbar.

Jumping

To calculate your character's jumping distance (B352), enter the running start and any penalty for extra effort. The calculator shows:

  • High Jump distance (vertical leap).
  • Broad Jump distance (horizontal leap).

Throwing

To calculate your character's throwing distance (B355), enter the object’s weight and any extra effort penalty. The calculator shows:

  • Throwing Distance in yards.
  • Throwing Damage (based on ST and object weight).

Hiking

To calculate your character's hiking distance (B351), choose the terrain and weather, and check modifiers that apply:

  • Roads cleared (depends on weather).
  • Using skis or skates.
  • Successful Hiking roll (B200).
  • Penalty for extra effort.

The calculator then shows your daily travel distance in miles.

Tip

These calculators are reference tools only. They do not affect your sheet and are there for quick lookups during play.
