Re: Want lots of example of Nuisance Effects
I second that!
Some examples I use: -5% Can't keep paying fatigue Normally, with "Cost fatigue" limitation, you can keep the power active one minute more after the first one paying additional fatigue. This limitation prevents you for doing that. After the initial fatigue cost has been paid you can't keep paying fatigue. In other words, you can't keep the "power on". You need to activate again the power making again any activation roll, if required. -5% Obvious emanation Use for powers with emanation effect. It is obvious that you are the center and the caster of the emanation. If used with "Terminal condition: Caster disabled" then it is also obvious that, if you are removed or disabled, the emanation will end.

Re: Want lots of example of Nuisance Effects
One particular kind of Nuisance Effect I'm interested in is having to roll on a random table if you get a Critical Miss, e.g. when making an Attribute+Power Talent roll to try to use your Power.
But I like them all! Keep them coming! |

There is not "permanent" crippling. Instead of that, you need to make a special pilgrimage to a spiritual place and pay $$$ to bribe the spirit again. This is not a "Nuissance", it is a "+0% Feature".

Re: Want lots of example of Nuisance Effects
I've used "Use causes a self-control check against <$disadvantage>", -5% a number of times.
Works for most of the self-control disads from Bad Temper through to Uncontrollable Appetite. A similar limitation works for Phantom Voices and Flashbacks, provoking a check against the usual 6- of course. For a Cosmic Modular Ability for "the local language": "Always ends up speaking a lower-class/criminal sociolect", -5% Nuisance Effect, Accessibility, Trigger, and Temporary Disadvantage are sort of the Bucket limitations - you can get a lot done with them because they're big buckets of effects. Because they're broad, some peoples interpretations as to which bucket a given limitation goes in will obviously differ. Quote:
Ooo. For DR, I presume? I'd generally call these Triggers - but Trigger comes with a Duration cap baked in that you don't necessarily need with an Accessibility. Depending on what's going on with the first (the cutting one), I might call that a combination of (Immediate) Preparation Required and whichever of Accessibility and Trigger - if there's a ritual, for example.

Though there is a version of it where the effect is applied to the parry of the melee attack. Quote:
The one about using your own blood I considered a nuisance effect because he had a limited amount of it, it hurt, and it was creepy. I thought about using costs HP, but that just didn't work the way I wanted it to. the limitation was that he had a limited amount of his own blood and had to expose himself to all sorts of infection and so forth to use his abilities.

Re: Want lots of example of Nuisance Effects
If you have GURPS IOU you could use the random side effect-table as a random nuisance effect generator.
