Wanted: GURPS Power-Downs 1

[Not another shrubbery]

I really like the "vulnerable to temptations" model I use for Sagatafl's psychological disads, Flaws. GURPS doesn't have anything really like that...

Can you give an example of what you mean here? "Vulnerable to temptations" sounds like Compulsive Behavior, but since you reference that disad immediately before, I presume you have something else in mind.

I've also deliberately not titled this hypotehtical book "Power-Downs 1: Disads" because I'm sure if there is a Power-Downs 2 and 3, they will also deal exclusively with disads, since that's what Power-Downs are.

But what else is missing? And am I mistaken insome of the above?

Also a better way at handeling limitations on disadvantages, especially translating limitations meant for advanatages to disadvantages.

Trachmyr and Kuroshima give a couple of subjects that could stand separate treatment in a series. Quirks is an obvious parallel to Power-Ups 2: Perks. Modifiers on disads is worth throwing some words at, IMO. Limitations in general are a topic that could be expounded upon... more Accessibilities, judging a limiter's value based on the trait modified, revisiting the temporal mods, etc.
