Teleporting to Clean and Strip Paint

[Dwarf99]

Honestly if they already have Warp, then they should be allowed to purchase a version of the Rinse perk that lets them clean off anything without water.

Hmm, Warp with +470% of modifiers or a perk.... What to choose?

Heh. I've said for years that the transporter system makes bathrooms unnecessary on the Enterprise.

Bill, bathrooms are used for other things too... of course, if you mean literally BATH-rooms, then I agree.

Back on topic, I would not allow the character to teleport the grime out of the vehicle. I would require him to teleport the vehicle out of the grime. We already have something like that, in the naked limitation of Warp, so if he could afflict warm with naked on the vehicle, he would leave all the grime behind.

"Guys, I said I need the garage cleaned out *this* weekend! No, I can't just send the Chevy to the supermarket instead, you know my range limits!"

I wasn't aware of the perk, and my example would not require taking every version of the cosmic, just one. But thank you for the useful feedback :P

Sure, optionally. Depending how often you use it, you might just want to use the "Using Abilities at Default" rules for the task.

The teleporting chunks bit is actually from a GURPS supplement somewhere... I can't find the reference at the moment. I thought it was Horror... It's possible that it was in 3rd edition.

It is written up in Psionic Powers as an IA.

Discriminatory teleportation powers applied with sufficiently fine control obviates the main need for bathrooms as well as BATHrooms.

Tell me how it helps groom yourself? Tell me how it helps you practice your singing skill. Tell me how it helps providing an alternate locale for friendly contact with your So.

The list goes on.

I personally would never allow that perk. If you want to effectively buy an Immunity to diseases or poisons or irritants as part of your Teleport power, that's fine, but several immunities at once are not a valid perk.
