Default Compartmentalised Mind

I have a character that wants 2 levels of compartmentalised minds with no separation.

In addition the idea was for each 'mind' to perform a separate concentration. Mind 1 is normal but cannot use any psi stuff. Mind 2 can only use TP and not normal stuff and Mind 3 can only use PK and not normal stuff.

Cost is 2 levels of CM, minus no separation limitation. What would be the limitation for using the minds for TP or PK?

I think it should be -20% similar to the extra attack limitation one skill on P49.

There it is. Dedicated controls Either TP or PK.

GURPS Psychic Powers has the limitations for Compartmentalized Mind: "Limited, One Power, -20%".

Controls and Dedicated Controls don't give you extra maneuvers. They let someone else use their maneuvers to use your abilities.

What he said. Controls are for building vehicles as characters, and pre-sage a GURPS Vehicles for 4e, I hope, but it's long overdue.

I thought that was 25%... lost my book :(

Therefore with no separation the best is 40% off.

Hmm, my mate has the book so I will have to have a look again.

It's not just one power, it is the only thing it can do.

Then "Limited, One Ability" is -30% (if you have more than one ability, which it seems you do).

One for each compartment so that would qualify.

... only one ability? Or rather, What are you defining as 'not normal stuff'?

Ms 3 Brains

Primary Brain does all the mundane thing, it cannot do any psi
1 CM: Can only do TP, it cannot be used to do mundane things or PK
2 CM: Can only do PK, it cannot be used to do mundane things or TP

No separation.
