As I told one of my players recently: no moon for you, but another continent is fair game.

Good call I meant to mention that but forgot during the Attack portion.
It appeared originally in GURPS Horror.

And would it be possible to have a variable rate of fire? Say, 5 HP as an initial cost, with another 1 HP for every 1 possible hop and attack?

Gyroscopic removes the Body Sense roll, as Refplace stated — something very useful when warping multiple times a second!

You never have to warp the full times your margin calls for, so what we do is scale Costs HP to the number of Warps. If it's a basic 6 HP for one warp, or 15 HP for all ten, then that's effectively 10.5 levels of Costs HP, bringing Warp to the following:

Warp (Based on DX, +20%; Costs 5 HP plus 1 HP per step, -105%; Gyroscopic, +10%; Link, Cutting Attack, +10%; Rapid Fire, RoF 10, +100%; Reliable 10, only for instant use, +30%; Range Limit, 10 Yards, -50%) [115]

Add the Cutting Attack for a total of [121], which isn't too far off from your original [112]!

As a final note, that RoF 10 is the same cost for RoF 8-15 (I'd ratcheted it down to RoF 10 for an earlier modelling that i realised was a bit too complicated). With the additional HP cost per attack, RoF 15 — or a total HP cost for all fifteen attacks of 20 HP — seems suitably self-limiting.

Sounds similar to part of the limitation given Warp in Horror for the classic slasher villain. Specifically the part, "Accessibility, Only places you could
walk/climb to, given time,..."

Also for both the Batman and Bugs Bunny loa in Madness Dossier.

Thanks for all the replies, everyone! This has helped immensely, both for my character and my understanding of GURPS.
