[D20 to GURPS] Burnt Offerings Conversions

Landwalker · 09-03-2011, 09:32 AM

If the Affliction is being cast on something inanimate like a rock or weapon, is there a reason that Obscure needs the Always On enhancement (since the rock or weapon can presumably not elect to turn the afflicted advantage off anyway)?

And considering how wildly unhelpful the Create Light advantage from GURPS Powers is as far as conveying the in-game effects (1,000 kJ x Level-Squared? 15 kW? Can I really not just get an intensity and radius?), and considering that there seems to be no other way to ape the Daylight spell for the Aasimar template, are there any suggestions on alternative abilities?

I'm also still not really confident on the Vargouille conversion, especially the Shriek and Poisonous Bite abilities. The Poisonous Bite ability is actually one with the same issue that Asta Kask recently started a thread about, since Vargouille bite attacks are normally unhealing.
