Can someone explain to me how this advantage works, and what modification do? Im not really getting it

So, in our TL3 world, my character has the power to bend his own blood(Limited control on any blood), so I need ideas that fit his power. Any interesting concept that could sound reasonable is okay. He currently has:

• Regeneration
• Healing (makes people drink his own blood, then controls it to heal them)
• Innate Attack with Follow-Up (he puts his blood into his katana to infect people)
• Special Rapport with Transferable (again, makes people drink his own blood)

I also have an idea to make weapons out of blood, but I don't know how to do it. I don't want to use Innate Attack for this. I want the weapons to scale with ST.

Imagine a low-tech rascal who excels at accurate, long-range spitting. He likes spitting in the guards faces to taunt them before escaping through the crowded market stalls. He might get creative and try and target eyes, mouth, the bald patch on the head, etc. I'm guessing this should be a 0-point feature giving a non-damaging innate attack (possibly affliction if our rapscallion got the sniffles or, worse, the shits, likely not uncommon given the setting).

How would you model this mechanically? Accuracy, range, effect (hard to fight with spit in your eyes, plus disgust etc)

I am currently playing a low-tech fantasy campaign. Characters have thematic magical and extraordinary abilities. I am playing a fighter with 9 levels of night vision and my character's theme is darkness, night etc.

Is there a way to build obscure that would let me utilize my nine levels of night vision and receive a some kind of discount in cost? (I don't want to go for Defensive (+50%) as that enhancement means it didnt really matter whether I had night vision)

I've taken this on my character, as well as one of the players in the game I'm GMing having taken it.

Even with very few points invested into it, It feels like we're pretty regularly able to completely incapacitate someone for an entire fight. I know it will be less likely to succeed against an enemy with high strength, but since we're still early in the campaign, there aren't many of those around.

Unless I'm doing it wrong!

Engulfing: Your attack pins the target. He cannot move his limbs or speak; his only options are to use purely mental abilities, to attack the Binding with an Innate Attack, or to try to break free using ST (not Escape skill). If he tries to break free and fails, he is only allowed a repeated attempt every 10 seconds – and on a 17 or 18, he becomes so entangled that he cannot escape on his own! +60%.

This would be my first foray in to GMing a long campaign. Although I do have experience DMing D&D and Rifts for mini adventures and one-shots. My play group is filled with experienced player each with 30+ years (no exaggeration) of experience with TTRPG (mostly D&D). I have been looking for a system to base this Home Brew campaign off of and I think I found it with GURPS. I have explored many systems from sticking to D&D, to Rifts, to Pathfinder, OSE, Dagger Heart, Shadow Dark, Draw Steel, Storm Light, Mistborn, etc… after reading something’s about GURPS I think this is the way. My group has little to no experience with it, so we would all be brand new. I’m excited and need some advice on where to start with building my campaign in GURPS. It would be fantasy, Low Tech. I ordered the Revised 4e book.

As a caveat, my group is filled with Win/Maxers , Meta Power Gamers who look for ways to break games. My objective is to ween them away from that a bit and focus on Character DEVELOPMENT, instead to character creation.

Thanks for the help!

Before that’s commented, I’m not looking for something that isn’t GURPS, I love the character creation and its impact on RP, I love how customizable it is, etc. My only hang up is how players from what I hear seem to instantly die. The cinematic rules recommend simply making the players more powerful but that’s not necessarily what I want to do either, as I also want certain enemies to last longer. Is the solution just increasing everyone’s HP? Any recommendations?

Running TL3 Fantasy

oi, eu hoje trago uma duvida minha aqui.

para começar, eu nunca fui bom em montar qualquer ficha de qualquer sistema de rpg.

primeiro por sempre demorar umas 3 a 4 horas montando fichas de qualquer sistema, e outra por sempre me esquecer de colocar isso ou aquilo...

dito isso, eu gostei do gurps no momento que vi as desvantagens e quero muito fazer personagens que funcionam e sejam fortes, ou pelo menos, sejam equilibrado...

então, eu não sei o jeito certo de montar um personagem:

que primeiro escolho um personagem fictício na mente

escolho algo que conheço e tento colocar essa pessoa na ficha

ou como eu sempre faço, pego o livro, e vou lendo cada uma das vantagens e desvantagens e pericias e vejo o que parece divertido (que no fim pelo que percebo sempre crio coisas sem sentido...)
