Sentient Buildings
|
| |
A recent Halloween airing of 'Treehouse of Horror #1' got me thinking, how would you portray a sentient building in GURPS? Is it an magical artifact or an NPC? It would be a great way to freak out a party by having them investigate a building that wants to kill them, or is simply as intrigued by... more »

Need good "magical" name for psi-type powers
|
| |
I'm working on a magic system where most magic is done through asking or compelling service from various kinds of spirits - elementals, demons, or the myriad kinds of spirits in an animist view of the world.

He then went back to Homeline to try to establish himself as an illusionist. Does he need the Gadgeteering... more »

Rapier Wit
|
| |
why is it so cheap? if i compare it with affliction i would get something like this: affliction, malediction +100%, range (equals melee attack) about -30%, hearing based -20%. further: rapier wit is a free action. so there would be an enhancement. and it is based on a skill. this might be 0%. the restriction that it can only be used in combat would be unreasonably... more »
