Re: Using Visualiztion
The problem with any replacement for Visualization is that it violates the ABC (Accurate, Basic, and Cheap) principle. In GURPS, you always take the most accurate ability, the most basic ability, and the cheapest ability. An Affliction that requires a half dozen multiplicative modifiers and costs more than Visualization violates all three principles.

Re: Using Visualiztion
I've never really seen visualization come up in play, but I'm thinking about including an abaility based on it in a mystical ESP-like power to representing tapping ancient knowledge. The time constraint will keep it in check for me, since the game its being designed for is very combat-centric. This would basically be a way to get a bonus to a noncombat skill to acconplish something.

Re: Using Visualiztion
I recently described to a friend a demigod character I once played: “Victory”. She not only had ridiculous IQ, but also used Visualization with reduced time, blessing, Detect (good destiny), and Bless (among other spells) to give notable people an edge in any contest (even as mundane as games or bartering). Notable People were usually her fellow demigods.
His response condensed my description well: “So her power is... winning.” |
