Re: [Basic] Advantage of the Week: Blessed, Heroic Feats, Very Blessed
Tangential to the current discussion, but on topic (I think) for the initial post, I'd like to see True Faith discussed in the context of Blessed, etc.; that is, the full scope of "less than Powers" (my framing) holy/unholy advantages (and disadvantages, such as Disciplines of Faith, etc.).

Re: [Basic] Advantage of the Week: Blessed, Heroic Feats, Very Blessed
True Faith has a slight issue in that its default model is that it literally is your faith and not a possible "source" protecting you. It can be tweaked to represent protection provided by an outside source, however.

(And by the way, can Luck be used on Blessed? I think I can see a vaguely interesting potential for Aspected Luck to be used by a GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Holy Warrior who has the full six instances of Blessed (Heroic Feats). Or even more than the full instances, if DF11 allows that, which I seem to recall that it does.) |

It could even be two levels. Blessed (Weak Turning) for 10 points, upgraded to Blessed (Strong Turning) for 10 more points, with the second being stronger than True Faith. In a DF campaign, or other fantasy campaign, wielders of religious supernatural powers from different faiths could to a large extent be characterized by which kinds of Blessed they do have or can have, provided there is a large enough selection to choose from. And again, templates is the reason why I like for Blessed to always be 10 points. It's so much neater that way. |

Re: [Basic] Advantage of the Week: Blessed, Heroic Feats, Very Blessed
Considering that Very Blessed is 20 points, isn't there room for some variation? I mean even with respect to templates, even sticking to Heroic Feats, something more limited (though there are obvious dangers to them) like Heroic Feats (FP) or Heroic Feats (HP), so long as they can correspond to a 10 or 20 point cost, they can work into the templates reasonable well, can't they? This... is more relevant if one allows for Heroic Feats (IQ), in which case Heroic Feats (Will) and Heroic Feats (Perception) make a bit more sense than the other two.

I missed that detail, thanks! I could also see Blessed, etc. being tweaked toward True Faith, especially if True Faith itself were a prerequisite.
