G4e Warp + Invertebrate Question
I was wondering how Warp and Invertebrate were handled together as by the rules.
Invertebrate says "Use your full Basic Lift for the purpose of pushing, but only 1/4 your BL to calculate the weight you can lift, carry, or pull." Warp says "You can carry up to Basic Lift when you travel". Does this mean that when warping, you can only use 1/4 BL to calculate your load? Also, do you have to physically carry the object/person you want to warp? Sorry if this question has been answered on the FAQ or on a different thread, I couldn't seem to find that. |

Re: G4e Warp + Invertebrate Question
I take it that you have to physically pick up and carry it. In GURPS Supers, I provided two modifiers to Warp, for which it was based either on telekinetic liftiing capacity, or on Will in place of ST (which required only touching the objects).

Re: G4e Warp + Invertebrate Question
I don't think the method used to connect the material being transported to yourself actually matters, so long as the method is specified, and the material is a useful "object" (eg. you can't use it to carve chunks of rock out of a cliff face, or teleport only the barrel of your foe's gun)
I would use the unmodified basic lift, but I freely admit that's just my opinion,and I possibly think that because I believe invertebrate is limiting enough as it is.

Re: G4e Warp + Invertebrate Question
in honor of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_(2009_film) I also like the idea of using their undivided full BL which they get while pushing stuff.

Re: G4e Warp + Invertebrate Question
Teleporters can carry what they hold but also often what they are touching. I would go with full BL or give it a limitation for using reduced ST.

I would not go with full BL for invertebrates. If you're basing Warp on ST then you should use actual ST, as limited by your body build. If you want to avoid that, pay for the enhancement that lets you use Will instead.
