For a powerstone to be a powerstone to me, first and foremost they need to be reusable . . . these aren't. They might well be a variant of RPM Manastone I could see.

Well, "reuseable" batteries would be full on magic items (they'd be Energy Reserve).

Hence my attempts at making them either as Metatronic Generators, or just trying to adapt rules for Magic Magic Powerstones

edit - note, I'm not objecting to these rules and I think I probably will allow them and such, just that they don't at all fill the 'powerstone niche' for me or would get the 'RPM powerstone name' to me. They are cool and nifty in their own right, just are more apples and oranges (very different, but fulfill similar purposes as sweet flavored eatables, but would not think they are the same thing)

I've got some stuff for MG that will allow the creation of Power Batteries - it's just not out yet.

My players, being my players ignore the plot, forge another, and then we carry on. Because hey, this is GURPS and with the right traits you can do anything - including create a soul.

If you haven't noticed I decided I'm going to try to knock out my back log of Designer's Notes before the end of the year. Today's installment features new Monster Hunter inhuman options and a bit of history from one of my first ever Pyramid articles.

Doing stuff with inhumans, and I say this and wondered why wild talent was used instead of Cosmic Modular Abilities 2 (-10% skills only, -10% only things from experience) [16]. It seems to fit better that a guy with that much memory would have more uses of the skill at lower numbers.

If I use it, and I probably will, I'll be swapping that out (powers actually points out that's may be what you really want with wild talent). Does anyone see any kinks that would come up with that?

I'd call that -20% for the second limitation, but sure, that's possible. I try to keep things simple when I write for a genre-line unless I cannot. Wild Talent was the best way to go here.

No post today - my brain is frazzled from lack of sleep. Sorry, guys. I'll get something up as soon as I can think straight.

Rest well, my friend. :)

So you'll be making GURPS Frazzle Rock?

I muse a bit on the design philosophy of Dungeon Fantasy and when a Dungeon Fantasy campaign is no longer a Dungeon Fantasy campaign.
