Re: GURPS Space - assistance
No. A gaseous body of 4,000 Earth-masses is getting on for being a brown dwarf rather than a gas giant, but L4 and L5 are just as far from the planet as they are from the star, so any radiation hazard from the planet will be dwarfed by that from the star.

Sorry, there is a limit but that's not the right one. That's the limit on the ratio of the masses of the star and gas giant.

The Earth-type planet might still need a largish moon of its' own to avoid tidal locking or at least length of day issues.
