GURPS - Compendium 1..

Lost Speed and DX are regained at a rate of 1 point each per
hour once the character returns to a warm climate; this rate is
doubled in an exceptionally warm environment.
The exact value of the disadvantage depends on the "minimum
tolerance" temperature. For creatures that "stiffen up"
below 50°, this disadvantage is worth -5 points. For those that
lose their mobility below 65°, this disadvantage is worth -10
points.
Dying Race
-10 points
This can only be taken as a racial disadvantage.
For whatever reason, the race's death rate has exceeded its
birth rate. If this trend isn't reversed, the race will be extinct in a
few generations. It is unlikely that the individual will have any
progeny that live. Discovering the reason for this disadvantage
and eliminating it can be an excellent adventure or campaign
seed.
PCs who are members of a dying race will be pointedly discouraged
by their brethren from frivolously accepting dangerous
missions (possibly earning a bad Reputation if they accept them
anyhow) and will be plagued by curiosity-seekers or those who
want to "help," making it impossible to find privacy or act
anonymously in populated areas.
Fragile
-20 points
You have an extremely brittle and fragile physical structure.
You take double damage from crushing attacks. Creatures with
this disadvantage might include crystalline beings, or avians
with hollow bones.
Hive Mentality
-20 points
This can only be taken as a racial disadvantage.
Members of the race place no importance on personal fame
and wealth, and little on comfort or even survival. They will
willingly sacrifice themselves for the good of the race. Includes
two levels of Weak Will.
Horizontal
-10 points
You have a horizontal posture, like a dog or a cat. You can
stand on your hind legs for short periods, but this is very
uncomfortable for you. You can use one hand (if any) while
standing on the other three limbs, or two hands while sitting on
your haunches. You can carry (but not use) an object in one
hand if moving at half your Move.
Human-sized or larger Horizontal creatures will take up two
hexes.
Inconvenient Size
-10/-15 points
This disadvantage can only be taken as a racial disadvantage.
Individuals who are unusually large or small should take
Dwarfism, Fat, Gigantism, Overweight or Skinny instead — see
pp. B28-29.
The race is of a size radically different from the campaign
norm. Members of the race are unable to effectively use most
tools and implements basic to day-to-day life unless they are
specially made. This disadvantage assumes that the race's ability
to function is seriously impaired whenever they're away from
their own communities. As a rule of thumb, a race must be
over eight feet (-10 points), or under two feet tall (-15
points), on the average, to qualify for this disadvantage. The
GM might also allow this disadvantage for an extremely heavy
race (more than 1,000 pounds would be worth -10 points) or a
race with an exceptionally large and awkward form (e.g.,
Centaurs).
Individual members of a race with this disadvantage can still
take Dwarfism or Gigantism - in relation to their race!
Increased Life Support
-10 points/level
You have more environmental and sustenance needs in a lifesupport
situation than a normal human would. The GM should
compute the levels of this disadvantage based on the following
guidelines:
You need to eat twice as much per day as a normal human:
One level. Three times as much: Two levels.
You require a separate pressurized compartment to survive:
One level.
You require a normal temperature above 200° F or below 0° F:
One level.
You are radioactive or require a radioactive environment:
One level.
You require more than a ton of additional weight in order to
survive on a spacecraft, submarine or any other setting where
resources and space are limited: One level/ton after the first ton.
Invertebrate
-20 points
You have no spine, exoskeleton or other natural body support.
You can use ST normally to push and strike, but (unless
you are aquatic) the amount that you can lift, carry or pull is
only 1/4 normal. On the up side, you will be much more flexible
than those with shells or bones. In particular, you can squeeze
through much smaller openings than your size might suggest.
Note that this disadvantage is somewhat different from the scientific
definition of "invertebrate."
Involuntary Dampen
- 15 points
This is only available as a racial disadvantage.
Works as the natural attack Dampen (p. 72), but cannot be
consciously turned off! All non-insulated electrical devices in
range are subject to the effects of Dampen.
