[GURPS] Special limitation for telecontrol
I am attempting to stat out a new character, at the moment it is established that he is able to possess others in a way similar to telecontrol (page 76, basic set, characters) with one exception:
If he is possessing something which dies, instead of just snapping back to his body safely, my character's body will suffer a heart attack. I am having trouble determining a point cost for this limitation. |

Backlash is described in: (GURPS Powers, pg 104). "Only if host dies while controlled, -40%" is a renamed version of "Accessibility: Less than 1% of the time, -40%" ... as I don't expect the character to be killing off its' host more than once in every hundred possessions. ;) |

That might be too high, though, especially since you can end your Possession as soon as the body is close to death or starts to lose a fight. So I might arbitrarily halve that, to -30%, as that "feels" more fair to me. But this is all off the top of my head and I welcome others' opinions.
