Just for fun, I'm trying to convert the Persona 4 ability Galactic Punt into GURPS terms. In the original video games, Galactic Punt is the character Chie Satonaka's finishing move, where she kicks an enemy (one that's been previously stunned by another party member) into a twinkle in the sky for an instant KO. Observe, and again.
The best I've got so far is an Affliction [10 points/level] as a Carrier Attack [0%] on a Kick (which I believe includes Melee Attack, Range 1/2, Can't Parry, for a net [-30%] but I'm not sure) delivering Warp [+1000%?!] and Takes Recharge of 15 seconds [-20%], Only Usable on Stunned Enemies [-10%?] and Not Usable Against "Bosses" [-10%?], for a net +930% and total cost of...lots and lots. Perhaps the Warp could be Anchored [-80%] but that seems a little munchkiny for what's already a very questionable power. I'm pretty certain this is wrong in multiple ways. Are there more limitations that could be piled on to reflect its rarely-used nature, or is there a more manageable "go away" power than Warp? Is this kind of thing just too over-the-top to take on any kind of reasonable Character Point budget? |

Affliction Heart Attack has been posted by Kromm as an option for any save or be removed from play type effects. IIRC one of the examples was flesh to stone and another a disintegrate.. However as long as there were no or only minor beneifts from the punt I think most GMs would go with it just as a special effect.
You paid to insta kill, what happens to the body is more color then utility. |

This may not be the case with the advent of "Resurrection Lite". Dead people are still treated as people able to receive aid, able to be the subject of abilities that depend on their attributes in life, players can spend their earned cp for certain things, can sacrifice traits, etc until they get to -10 x HP, so the ability to immediately ditch their bodies in space or another dimension, etc. causes a further non-trivial change in their disposition and should cost points.
