[Humour] Submit your most outrageous ideas for using Cosmic enhancement!

[vicky_molokh]

Greetings, all!

I've stumbled on several cases where the Cosmic enhancement was misused to allow outrageous modifications at a mere +50% cost. Also, there's the all-time classic of Irresistible Attack (no Resistance roll) for Afflictions.

Other cases are:
Zeroed, +50%: influences minds in addition to archived recoreds.
Flight, +50% Cosmic: Invincible while flying. (Made as a parody on the previous one).
DR, +50% protects against maledictions (both resistance roll and damage).

What are others you can name (both historical and fictional)?

Thanks in advance to all who answer!

I don't think the Flight one applies: it's a different form of Move, not directly a form of protection. That said:

Magery, Cosmic +50% (no Fatigue costs fo spell casting) :)

That would be Reduced Fatigue Cost.

Though here's one based on vague GURPSologization of Slayers:

Magery, Cosmic: Taking the Long-Range enhancement affects range penalties for spells themselves!


How about Magery, Cosmic, Ignores No Mana Zones?

I like the idea of adding cosmic to DISadvantages.


Unlucky with Cosmic - Bad stuff happens to you and there's nothing your character can do about it. GM still can't kill you off, but the character's abilities and even the cautiousness of the player/character do not mitigate the unlucky outcome. Thus, the blender may explode and even if you have reflexive insubstantiality you would still get splashed and humiliated. The character's car might have an oil leak even if the player was careful to say the character checked it that morning.

Lecherousness with Cosmic - Finds everyone attractive and worth hitting on.
Alcoholism with Cosmic - character is always in a stage of drunkenness and the character will always find himself in a place with plenty of liquer available.

Bloodlust with Cosmic - You want to see your foes obliterated utterly. After killing your opponent, you must continue to hurt him/her/it until it is at -5xHT.

Odius Personal Habit with Cosmic - your habit is odious to everyone, no matter what culture or background; even if they have unfazable.

Hemophelia with Cosmic - Anime style bleeding that can only be stopped with cosmic healing.

You can have enhancements to skills. So logically, skill (Cosmic, no dice roll required: +100%) would be allowed...

Actually, it was High Pain Threshold with this enhancement (to represent never rolling for pain-related effects), which was soon proven to be broken by taking Hard To Subdue, NDRR.

Are the cosmic lecherousnes and alcolholism are linked somehow as you did not separate them with a line... Of course they are LOL...

The cosmic bloodlust is pretty humorous too... In a carnal, hysteric way. "..AND STAY DEAD!!!! Whack - whack - wahckitywhack.."

I had the same thought, and even applied it to a couple of the same disadvantages. Darn you.

Klutz (Cosmic) -- All failed DX-based rolls are treated as critical failures.
