GURPS Psionic Powers

The Sundered Sky · 10-08-2009, 12:13 AM

So, if you've got a copy, what do you think?

I noticed on another thread there seemed to be some confusion or inconsistency as to where to buy it...I got mine from Ebay.

I've got a question already..Psionic Powers has rules for probability alteration, is this the only place in 4th(or 3rd, for that matter) which presents rules for this?

IDHMBWM, but I seem to remember Probability Alteration as one of the listed power examples in Powers.

Yes, on p 132.

Probability Alteration definitely was in Uplift for 3e, and I think the rules there were reprinted from another worldbook (Wildcards?)

Isn't it just some kind of Enhancement to various luck-type Advantages, to make them active-use? Wishing ot something?

Does Lucky Break involve dropping a die roll by 1 pt (or 3%) ?

If so then I'd probably just make it go "inactive" after a successful use,
then assuming 3% of 365 days is ~10; wait 350 or so days before it
can be used again.

Seems pretty weak though, especially if it's a cinematic style game...
probably relegate that to every 100+ days or so; depending on how
many Perk Points were spent up-front...(assuming one is allowed to
do that).

No, it was a full leveled Powers based system with i think two or three main powers (the 3e kind of Psionic Powers, not the 4e type).
