Precisely why a buff is in order. As I see it, there are several ways to balance Anima for the new system;

- All summons 110, but a 3-4 turn duration and a 2-3 turn summon time.
- All summons 100, no duration, 1-turn summon
- All summons 95, no duration and no summon time.
- As needed per summon

All of them would have the caveat of one summon out only and take directly from Anima's mana pool (as they always have) rather than their own.

I'll take the 95; giving any of them mana doesn't matter as they don't use their own mana while under Anima's control.

GWG: Healing(Afflictions Only) is from Powers, page 51. It's a -40% limitation, and changes Healing fro 30 points to 18.

well, under new rules, PCs are at 100, normal humans at around 40-60 depending on their ability

Noooo, 100 is your lowest credible Adventurer. Your characters are almost certainly well above that.

Honestly, I'd advise you get familiar with gurps before trying to use it. The game you have going here is NOT simple, and requires a great deal of expertise. I have familiarity with most everything in GURPS, and I'd have to put in a load of work to make everything work properly.

well, then please try to do it without making characters turn almost a whole 180°.
I think you're exaggerating a bit. Selina wasn't exactly a Blood Knight, and...I can't even think of similar snarks to say about the others. So explain this statement, please.

Quote
That Selina is simply wrong. Also it's hardly the weight limit that would make her overpowered, but the actual function, like the bracelet. That stuff she creates would come pre-enchanted with telepathy and teleportation, now *that* is something that needs to be rebelanced. I kinda doubt that the weight limit will help. As far as the combat-prohibiting flaws go, where do they suddenly come from even?
The weight limit is in the advantage, and I added a modifier that would allow her to ignore it with a bit of effort. Besides, how many things has she made that exceed the weight limit?
The combat-prohibiting flaws come from Selina's personality. They were Cado's idea, not mine.

the problem I think is that really, nobody knows what the hell GWG is even doing. 70/09.~77 we keep that below blah?

what? what does that even mean?
70 is the number of points left after buying two Alternate Forms. Alternate Form lets your alternate form be more powerful overall than the normal form, if you pay 90% of the difference. The difference has to be less than 77 points in this case, for reasons explained above.

More to the point, can someone point me to the GURPS rules we're using? The summoning system sounds like Anima, which I might reenter with, would be hideously unbalanced to her detriment.
4th edition. I've posted a link to a Dropbox of the core rulebook (well, the first, but the second isn't needed unless we're playing real GURPS, and it's barely needed then) twice. Here's another. It works, right?

the current gurps rules do not cover summoning, or at least the summoning rules fromg urps are not properly implemented yet.
I'll get around to it. Trying to make sure people don't want to throw out the GURPS book yet, and I've got real-life stuff to do too.
Basically, I'm planning to use the rules for Allies, specifically with the Summonable enhancement. Fiddling may be required to make it fit better with the summon rules you have.

GWG: Healing(Afflictions Only) is from Powers, page 51. It's a -40% limitation, and changes Healing fro 30 points to 18.
Good thing that I calculated it like that. I think.

100 our system, not 100 gurps
Precisely.
Although a character with 100 stat points typically also has 100 PP.

btw GWG, when trying to gurpsify us, can you please be a bit more specific what the stuff we have actually does?

well, we can have a look at the chars after you are done, and *then* vote, after everybody is done actually putting their own touches on the whole thing


edit: problem is of course, how long will that all take :(

yes of course. Though a bit of patience may be in order, as this chapter is about to be closed, starting into a game set 5 years later - perfect time for new chars to get in. for the new rules, see link in my sig. For comparisons of your abilities against other abilities, just check charsheets also linked in my sig

I'm currently statting my characters, Akroma.

Also, new tidbit:
4.) Annabelle has successfully overthrown the government in her home dimension, and has been elected President as the Ambassador with Earth. Any characters that want to claim to helping with this are welcome to.

Well, it's either her or Tobias that go bye bye. Not many people liked Annabelle it seemed. The only way that she would be staying as a side character is if I can have 3 characters.

Although, let me change her elected position...
