GURPS - Compendium 1..

stantial than an interstellar cloud, you immediately stop, without
harm to yourself or the object hit.
You must have some method, either technological or through
an advantage, of surviving in the vacuum of space!
Special enhancement:You can maneuver while Hyperflying. +
10%.
Special limitation: You perceive only a brilliant blur around
you (Star Wars-style effect) and cannot clearly navigate. All
Astrogation rolls are at -6. -30%.
Hyper-Reflexes
15 points
You can voluntarily produce and control abnormal levels of
adrenaline, increasing speed and reflexes. At the start of any
turn, you can activate your Hyper-Reflexes. This costs 1 Fatigue
per turn but gives you the Combat Reflexes advantage and +1 to
Basic Speed. (If you normally have Combat Reflexes, you gain
double the usual benefits.) This fatigue cost may not be reduced
by the Reduced Fatigue Cost enhancement.
Hyper-Strength
30 points
You can perform feats of hysterical strength. You may
increase ST (but not Fatigue) by 50% at a cost of 1 Fatigue per
turn. This fatigue cost may not be reduced by the Reduced
Fatigue Cost enhancement.
Ice Skates
5 points
You can move normally on ice - no DX penalties are
incurred for bad or slippery footing. Note that if you can move
normally on ice but not on land, the resulting Reduced Move
disadvantage will probably more than cancel the Ice Skates cost.
Similar advantages can be invented for characters who are
unaffected by snow ("Snow Shoes") or other difficult terrain.
Immortality
140 points
You will never die of natural causes and are tough to kill
unnaturally! This is simply a combination of Instant
Regeneration (p. 64), Immunity to Disease (p. B20), Immunity to
Poison (below) and Unaging (p. 69).
Immunity to Poison
15 points
You are immune to the effect of any toxins. This doesn't
confer immunity to a corrosive substance such as hydrochloric
acid - just to bona fide biological or chemical poisons. If there is
a question, the GM's decision (as always) rules.
Independently Focusable Eyes 15 points
You can focus in two separate directions, allowing you to
aim two weapons at once, for instance, or to take full advantage of
extra limbs. Characters with more than two eyes can buy this
advantage again for each additional eye to be focused independently:
three Independently Focusable Eyes would cost 30
points, four would cost 45 points and so on.
Increased Density 5 points/100-lb.
increase
Your body is made of much denser stuff than a normal man's.
For every 100-lb. increase, you get an extra DR 1 against crushing
damage (see p. 52), and any knockback done to you is decreased
by 1 hex. The extra weight will count as encumbrance if you aren't
strong enough to carry it, though! Any body weight over 15 x ST
counts as encumbrance.
The first doubling of weight reduces Swimming skill by 5;
after a second doubling, you cannot swim at all, but can walk
along the bottom of a body of water.
Each level of Increased Density also gives you a +1 bonus to
slam another character, and a -1 penalty to another character's
attempt to slam you.
Infravision
15 points
Your vision extends into the infrared portion of the spectrum,
allowing you to see varying degrees of heat. You can even see in
absolut e darkness if the temperature is above 70°. No matter what
the temperature, you suffer only a -1 when fighting at night, as
long as your foe is someone or something that emits heat! You
get +2 to see any living beings during daylight if you are scanning
an area visually.
This advantage also allows you to follow a heat trail when
tracking. Add +3 to any Tracking rolls if the trail is no more
than an hour old. A sudden flash of heat, such as an explosion,
acts as a Flash spell (see p. B163) to anyone with
Infravision.
Note: Infravision can be taken in conjunction with the
Blindness disadvantage. Blind creatures with Infravision always
operate as though at night. They can only track if the trail is less
than one hour old. They may not normally read or distinguish
colors.
Injury Tolerance
Variable
You do not suffer certain effects of injury that are normally
suffered by most living beings. The cost depends on the precise
weaknesses eliminated:
No Blood
5 points
You do not rely upon a vital bodily fluid (like blood) for survival.
You never have to make Bleeding rolls (see sidebar, p.
B130) and are unaffected by blood-borne poisons or drugs.
No Brain
5 points
While you may still have a head, your brain is distributed, or is
not the true seat of consciousness. You can ignore the knockout
and stunning effects of "Brain," "Head" and "Jaw" hits, and blows
to the Brain (including thrusts to the eyes) do not score
quadruple damage on you.
No Cutting/Impaling Bonus 20/30 points
You have a physiology that is resistant to the shock and
bleeding normally caused by Cutting or Impaling weapons. For
20 points, you can treat either Cutting or Impaling injury as
Crushing damage. For 30 points, you can treat both Cutting and
Impaling attacks as Crushing damage.
No Neck
5 points
You have no appreciable neck. You cannot be strangled or
choked, and blows to the "Neck" or "Throat" hit location have
no special effects upon you, and score no bonus damage.
