If you want to be able to use HP in place of FP, by GURPS RAW that's an Either/Or Limitation of "Costs FP or Costs HP", which is worth -0.5% (that is, don't bother). I handle Either/Or a little differently, which would put the Limitation at a bit over -4%. Personally, I don't see an issue with letting "Costs FP" be read as "Costs FP or HP" without even changing the price. An important thing to keep in mind in GURPS is that you pay of effects, not explanations. Yes, fluff-wise what's going on here is that your ER has something like a Leech ability that pulls from your FP or HP to charge itself up, then uses that energy to power your cybernetics. How that manifests mechanically, however, is that your ER only refills when you're resting and at full FP, and when your ER is empty you can burn FP or HP to power your abilities instead. |
