* AscendedHouseRules: The change to hit and fatigue points. Formerly, fatigue points (tiredness) was based on Strength, while hit points (being cut to pieces-ness) was based on Health. Compendium I suggested reversing them; after all, muscles can help stop injury, while someone who's fit should have more endurance in a marathon, right? As of 4th edition, that's official. (Also helps mages from trying to get 12 ST to help get the FP needed for their magic..)

* PermanentPlaceholder: The game was never intended to be released under that name. It was always supposed to get an evocative, marketable title at some point... but it never happened. The working title, ''{{GURPS}}'', became the title it was released as.
