Help with making a Pulp/Supers character

MisterO · 01-09-2012, 05:34 PM

Hello, I am new to GURPS and I am trying to build a character for my brother. He wants me to make a sort of Super-Pulp character. Think Doc Savage or Indiana Jones but with superpowers.

The hero, Mister Divine, is going to be a former soldier and "Man of the World" in the late 1930's. His powerset is going to be a Kinetic or Inertia Control power only affecting himself. I'm going to hold off on those more extraordinary advantages until later.

I am having trouble figuring out where to points for his skills and what possible advantages/disadvantages he should have. I have been using GURPS Lite to sort of block-out what skills, advantages, disadvantages and stats the character will have.

The books I have available (all 4th edition) are: Characters, Campaigns, Powers and Supers.

Here is his character sheet so far:
