I want to Build a attack Power in the style of Nanatsu no Taizai's Derideri's Combo Star: the more attacks you hit in a row the stronger it gets. Another good example would be Pokémon's Power-up Punch move that whenever you hits you get stronger. How could I Build this style of Power/Technique/Etc?

Hi, I am toying around with the idea of a solitaire scifi game using GURPS Space and Spaceships. There are loads of systemless resources for solo fantasy dungeon crawls / hex crawls, but I'm not aware of anything for scifi.
It wouldn't have to be anything in-depth, just support for something like an Elite (Dangerous) game of trading and combat in spaceships. Perhaps some on-foot dungeon-crawl-style exploration of abandoned stations or "strange new worlds".

Any ideas? or will I have to write my own :)

Skullcap ivy allows you to go with 1/2 of the food and drink if you go with 4 hours sunlight each day or the equivalent. Now how would it work in gurps terms?

How would you fine people build the grinch from the grinch that stole Christmas In gurps terms? I Think it’s an appropriate idea for now as Christmas is coming soon!

I've been wondering recently, and got not satisfactory conclusion by myself, so I wanna ask the sages of r/gurps:

-Grievous Memories: an ability that, when used, provokes a HT-4 check to every selected target 4m around the caster. If the target fails, it suffers from a sudden shift in time, making it suffer all damage (or maybe 1/3 to not be so overkill) and effects it suffered in the last 3 seconds again.

-Envoy of Defeat: chose a target within your vision and make a Will vs Will quick contest against it, with a penalty of -1 per meter (a normal Malediction with attribute modifiers). If the target loses, it gets stuck in a chaotic temporal rift. After 3 seconds, it takes all damage (again, or 1/3) it receives within these 3 seconds again.

These'd be very costly and powerful once-per-day powers, bought as advantages. So now I ask you: how'd you go about building these? Specifically, the repeating damage part.

Yes, it'd be all damage and statuses, maleficial or beneficial, including stuff from other players, which could create some crazy synergy between multiple party members.

Disclaimer: I know they're pretty powerful, but worry not, I won't bring something like this to a table as a player nor DM! I'm just brainstorming some ideas, it's always fun finding some obscure pyramids or niche books/ideas from others. And the edit is just minor and major spelling mistakes

I'm working up Mario species in GURPS, and I'd like the Koopas to be able to kick their shells, which to me says a standard 2d cr Innate Attack, maybe double knockback. The shell, of course, would be DR partial torso, probably 3.

I'd like for the attack to cause the koopa to lose that DR for a number of rounds (maybe also 3, 3's a good number), because, you know, they kicked their shell at the enemy. My brain would very much like to stat that up as a Temporary Disadvantage, but rules as written, that's no good, because the attack is instant, thus not having a duration that applies to the disadvantage. I'm also not particularly experienced with the system and thus don't have the inuitive feel for how much to subtract. Do we think a Nuisance Effect of about -10%? Some kind of fix with Switchable on the DR? (I don't love that concept; being able to turn off your DR isn't much of an advantage.) Just a kludge with Accessibility? Any ideas welcome.

Hi, I've just accepted into a GURPS game and I'm very new to it. I have only ever made one character myself and wanted to get some quick assistance on it and some things to look out for.

We're making 200/-50 characters in a realistic setting, it's military-forward and we're using Tactical Shooting and High-Tech, so I just wanted any pointers possible and reminders for a newbie. The character I want is definitely a kind of generalist with a focus on survivalism and gear.

Thanks for anything.

Hi gamers I've played quite a number of different role-playing games, but I've never tried GURPS. I like their supplements, though. How crunchy or complicated is the rpg if you compare it for example with Basic Role-Playing or RuneQuest / Call of Cthulhu?

I want my character to make an attack by throwing bombs with different properties poisinous, explosive, freezing etc.

My character makes these bombs himself so should I make these bombs innate attacks with limited use enhancement and alternate attacks or items that are made with money and either way I am curious about creating custom items like these bombs because I also want to have a staff that I can use for variety of things
