Re: [MH] "Young Hunter" Lens for Buffy-Inspired Campaign
I certainly will. I'm currently writing up a "worked example" for claiming family members as Dependent or as Enemy (Watcher), plus a Divine Curse called the Cassandra Complex which might be equally at home in GURPS: Horror.

Re: [MH] "Young Hunter" Lens for Buffy-Inspired Campaign
I love that kind of curse because the real horrors are caused by people suddenly realizing that they'd been warned and were idiots about it all.
Some of the words most likely to get one beaten are "I told you so."

Re: [MH] "Young Hunter" Lens for Buffy-Inspired Campaign
This write-up could be easily adapted for "kid sidekicks" in relevant supers games, either as PCs (as the write-up intends) or adjusted for NPCs. Good stuff!

We both seem to have based the cost around that of Delusion. My version ends with "If this phenomenon exists as a setting convention, rather than as a feature of a specific character, see Mask Of Humanity, Pyramid 3/97. For a controllable, advantageous version of this effect, consider the Shrouding skill from that article, or investing in Anti-Psi or Telepathy abilities." I'm pretty sure Mask of Humanity was your article, so you'd be the guy to ask about it. I don't re-use any of the mechanics in there, but it's very conceptually similar. In any event, if I do submit this document to Pyramid, that bit would be one of the first things I'd be willing to cut for length. It's related to the "Protagonists who are young and probably students" theme - it's a long-standing trope that adults have a harder time recognizing magical phenomena than do children - but only tangentially.

Re: [MH] "Young Hunter" Lens for Buffy-Inspired Campaign
You might also consider adding an optional Duty to the list of disadvantages to represent when school responsibilities come up in a way that interferes with hunting. I was thinking something like Duty (School, Involuntary, Nonhazardous, 6 or 9) [-2 or -5]. This could represent a meddling or overzealous teacher or principle, or just the periodic need to spend extra time studying or doing extra credit in order to not fail. I don't think it should be mandatory because Social Stigma (Minor) probably covers the fact that you are supposed to be in school and pass your classes. This kind of Duty would represent an extra layer of scrutiny and difficulty.
