Not being able to eat when you don't need to is perhaps slightly more inconvenient than not being able to voluntarily drown, but still quite plausibly a zero point special effect either way.

Re: Does Doesn't Eat or Drink include can't Eat or Drink?
Not being able to appear to inhale is not the same as not being able to willfully kill yourself via drowning.
That's a really bad example for someone like you. I understand that it's very close to the quirk level, at most, that can easily be swamped by other Unnatural Features likely to matter more in game. But I just hate the "it's all too much hassle, so I'll pretend everything cancels out to avoid pricing things" mentality everyone seems to imply in this thread. That way led to the mess up that was Gurps WoD books. Modularity is what I love most about Gurps. I think I at least understand why most here would "feature it out". So I'm good now.

Painfully true. Though many features of Size aren't used in most gaming styles.

I think the core issue here is actually the same as for Supernatural Feature, which I've always thought are fundamentally incorrectly priced. The "disadvantage" of an supernatural feature isn't the feature - if you are a wheeled robot, you don't get to take No Body Heat even if you don't have any. What they really are is an undefined Social Stigma with an otherwise disallowed limitation (people may not notice), with how obvious they are making the limitation smaller, or alternately a limitation on your Passing Appearance perk you aren't being charged for, and which since that's otherwise considered a perk shouldn't allow more than -1 point for cancelling it altogether if you were. It's just not an area the GURPS rules are all that well thought out, probably in part because it is so setting dependent. If nobody *cares* if you are human having features that mark you as an alien or not shouldn't be worth any points one way or the other.

Perhaps it's better written as an enhancement to Secret - you have "tells" that aren't directly related to Frequency of Appearance that can still give you away.

And then there's rarity, making your supernature Feature also be a Distinctive Feature. If you're the only "Human" in medieval Rome whose eyes reflect light like a cat's, then there are a fairly large amount of escapades that you'll have a much harder time getting away with, compared to if light-reflecting eyes were fairly comon or to if your eyes didn't do that. |
