Earth's mass, 1.31695E25 lbs.

Lifting ST +76 (Super-Effort, +400%) [1140] gives you an effective Lifting ST of 1E13 which gives a BL of 2E25 lbs. Earth is hereby a No Encumbrance weight to you with room left over.

Earth's orbital speed, 32,567.804 yards per second.

Flight (Space Flight, +50%) [60] and Enhanced Move 15 (Space; Instantaneous Acceleration, +50%) [450], assuming a Basic Speed of 5.00, gives you a Space Move of 327,680 yards per second. More than sufficient to shove the planet around.

Total point cost? [1,650].

Smashing Earth with a punch isn't necessarily expensive either ...

Per GURPS Supers, pg 125, you're talking Super-ST 55 [2,200] to potentially one-shot 1.88 billion HP with a 5 million DR shell.

Note that if you take Super-ST 55, you'd only need to take Lifting ST +21 (Super-Effort, +400%) [315] in addition in order to do the stuff in the first section.

Total cost? [2,200].

Total cost to do both? [3,025]. You were saying something about it costing too many points? Heh.



I'm aware of GCA's terminology, yes. That wasn't the confusing part.

Then I have no idea what was confusing you, as I said I merely forgot that there was a way to put modifiers on ST.

As for mentioning Super ST in "GURPS Supers" are we talking the 3rd edition book, or the new 4th ed PDF? Because I have the former, but not the latter. IF they once again made insane levels of ST ultra cheap by creating a whole new ST stat as it looks like, well... IMO that's a reason to just stick with GURPS Powers in my games.
