GURPS - Compendium 1..

Special limitation: One class of damage - acid, fire, etc. -
causes damage which cannot be completely healed by
Resurrection, and which must be healed by medical, magical or
psionic efforts. A person with this limitation comes back from
the dead in a coma, with his HT equal to what it was when he
died or -HTx5, whichever is greater. -10% for a rare or very rare
attack form, -20% for occasional forms, -30% for common
forms.
Special limitation: If you are killed by a blow from a substance
you have a Vulnerability to, you die permanently! This is
worth -5% on a rare or very rare form, -15% for occasional and
-25% for common.
Special limitation: Reincarnation. You are reborn into a new
body with new abilities and super skills - but you always retain
the Resurrection advantage. Your attributes may also change.
(The GM creates the new form, or may allow the player to do
so.) -20%.
Sanitized Metabolism
5 points
You are totally clean. Your native intestinal enzymes and
symbiotic bacteria eliminate your body odor and make efficient
use of food and drink, leaving minimal, sanitized waste products.
You never suffer from bad breath, excessive perspiration
or unsightly skin problems. Your abilities give a +1 on all rolls
where Appearance or Sex Appeal are a factor.
Secret Communication
20 points
This advantage can only be taken as a racial advantage.
The race has a method of communication that cannot be perceived
by other races - telepathy on a weird band, speech
beyond anyone else's range of hearing or just race-specific
empathy. The only telepathic race in a non-telepathic universe
would have this advantage, for instance. Note that the shared
consciousness of a race with Mindshare is already secret - do
not buy this advantage for such a race.
The GM may allow an individual to buy the ability to comprehend
another race's private communication as an advantage.
Cost would depend on the importance of that advantage to the
campaign.
Special enhancement: Other races cannot even perceive
when communication is taking place. +40%.
Special limitation: Only general concepts and emotions can
be sent. -50%.
See Invisible
15 points
You can see objects or individuals that are normally invisible.
Buy this advantage separately for each kind of invisibility.
Sense of Perception
100 points
You have a sense that gives you "a practically perfect threedimensional
view of the entire circumambient sphere," including
inside objects. You perceive shapes and colors (if you have color
vision; blind characters do not perceive colors). Make an IQ roll,
minus the range in hundreds of miles (so 1,000 miles is
-10), to make out details.
Sensitive Touch
10 points
Your fingertips (or equivalent organs) are extremely sensitive.
For instance, you can use touch to sense residual heat in a chair,
faint vibrations in the floor as someone approaches, similarities or
differences between two pieces of fabric, etc. You must roll vs.
IQ to use this advantage successfully (note that the "Rule of 12"
does not apply when using this as a racial advantage).
Shadow Form
50 points
You can become a two-dimensional shadow. You slip along
walls or floors at your normal Move; you cannot walk through
three-dimensional space, but must slide along an object. You
can slide through the smallest crack (as long as it is long enough
for you to fit your shoulders through). You can defy gravity,
creeping up walls and onto ceilings at half your normal Move.
You may not carry normal items, or affect them in any way,
except by affecting their appearance as your shadowy body falls
on them.
Physical attacks do half damage to you in this form; energy
attacks do normal damage, except for light-based attacks, which
do 50% extra damage. Mental attacks will do normal damage.
You can use magic, psi and other metahuman abilities in this
form, but cannot perform any purely physical attacks or actions.
Special enhancement: Objects may be carried. They take
Shadow Form when picked up, and return to normal when put
down. You still may not affect non-shadow objects. +10% for
No Encumbrance, +20% for Light, +50% for Medium, or
+100% for Heavy.
Special limitation: You cannot switch out of Shadow Form,
making it very hard for you to interact with others. This is not a
percentage limitation; treat an unswitchable Shadow Form as a
disadvantage worth -20 points. If objects may be carried, use the
percentage value of the enhancements to lower the cost of the
disadvantage, as described for Body of Air (p. 50).
Shrinking
Variable
You can decrease your size at will. Your minimum size
depends on how many levels of Shrinking you purchase. Figure
your size as normal, then each level of Shrinking halves it. E.g.,
1/2 normal at level 1, 1/4 normal at level 2, 1/8 normal at level 3,
1/16 normal at level 4, 1/32 at level 5, etc. Thus, an average
(5'10") man would need six levels of Shrinking (1/64) to reduce his
size to 1".
When you shrink, you cannot carry any equipment, and all
your clothes fall off. If you wish to carry equipment while
shrunk, it is a special enhancement (see below).
Movement is reduced proportionately; shrunken weapons,
punches and super-powered attacks do proportionately less
damage; magical or psi attacks from a shrunken character are
resisted at +1 per level of Shrinking that the character is using.
DR and hit points (not HT!) are reduced proportionately as well.
Example: Aristonious, the Minuscule Mage, has shrunk to a
mere 1/2" (seven levels of Shrinking). He casts a Sleep spell on a
guard. The guard resists at +7.
The cost of Shrinking depends on the number of levels
bought.
Level Cost Permanent
(Disadvantage)
1 20 -15
2 40 -20
3 60 -30
4 80 -40
5 100 -60
6 200 -80
7+ 100/level -100 (doesn't increase)
Special enhancement: The Affects Others enhancement is
worth +50% per person that can be affected. For example, a PC
who bought this enhancement once could only shrink one companion.
To shrink a different friend, the original one must return to
normal size.
