Help finding all the "Body of" Templates

Kelly Pedersen · 06-03-2018, 12:46 PM

I'm trying to track down a list of all the "Body of" templates that have appeared in GURPS 4th Edition sources. So far, I've got:

Basic
Body of Air
Body of Earth
Body of Fire
Body of Ice
Body of Metal
Body of Stone
Body of Water

Magic
Body of Wood
Body of Slime
Body of Plastic
Body of Lightning

Magic: Plant Spells
Body of Leaves

Pyramid #3/115
Body of Light

I'm quite sure there are more, particularly in Pyramid issues. If you know of one or more that I've missed, please list it!

Body of Disease, Enhanced Body of Fire, and Superior Body of Fire DF5.
Body of Shadow (Spell) Magic.
Body of Swarm is an enhancement for Injury Tolerance, from Horror.
There are several spells based on "Body of" spells in Death Spells.
Body of Fluid (spell) in Dungeon Magic.

Body of Glass Pyramid #3/114.
Body of Illusion (spell), Pyramid#3/115.

Thanks for the additions, John, I appreciate it!

However, I should clarify what I'm looking for, I guess, to ensure people don't spend extra energy. I'm looking for the templates, specifically, not just all references to them. I'm also looking for "Body of" examples that represent being all one homogenous collection of something, so I'm discounting the "Body of Swarm" from Powers. I suppose Shadow Form is basically that, though, so it should go on the list.

Again, thanks for the extra references!

With a PDF search tool, it was easier to find them all than only some ;)
