Re: How can you inflict % HP damage in GURPS?

Homogenous and Unliving and such don't affect all damage types so I would probably go to a higher % otherwise that works pretty well. However, this has farther reaching affects. He's looking to actually do damage, this is an affliction which lowers max HP in general. Shock Penalties, Knockdown checks, Crippling, etc all comes with actual damage which wouldn't come with dividing hit points. IS that important to him? I don't know.

Re: How can you inflict % HP damage in GURPS?
What your describing is a variation of an "absolute" (Powers p.117-119)...it's one thing if you do "50% of HP" on a street thug....quite anotherto do 50% HP damage" on Galactus
I would start by determining the absolute maximum amount of damage your power can do. For example a 200 HP opponent you can do a maximum of 100 points of damage assuming a "bio" attack 100pt's of toxic damage would be equal too (100 x.3) 30 dice of toxic damage (120pts.) Next for your "percentage" use the accessibility chart on Powers p.99....50% of max HP would be a -20% limitation =96pts. |

Though what he wants is a percentage of current hit points, which is significantly more limiting, as it means the character can be weakened but not finished.
