Re: Are Powers Overpriced?
I charge money and points for purchasing positive traits through technology. In general, I charge $1,000 per point of positive traits giving by permanent implants, though it varies from setting to setting.

It is totally appropriate to charge money and points for non-technological traits in DF. It's a staple of the genre.

Re: Are Powers Overpriced?
Somehow it didn't require banning in Kromm's campaigns, where cash comes and goes but Wealth remains.

DF is normally set at TL3 where technological duplication of natural abilities is not much of an issue.

Re: Are Powers Overpriced?
But what does Wealth do in that context? From what I recall of this being mentioned in the past, a bunch of things that are in no way documented in any GURPS rulebook...

Re: Are Powers Overpriced?
And magic items just require money.

Re: Are Powers Overpriced?
In many campaigns it is not officially banned but no-one takes it, because positive wealth is a poor use of points and negative wealth gets you a no from the GM unless you have something like a Vow of Poverty.

Re: Are Powers Overpriced?
I have always had problems with the magical item system in GURPS, so I have long treated magical items as gadgets that can be purchased, which actually works out quite well since characters have to spend character points as well money. There are very few magical items that cannot be transformed into gadgets, though I generally do not charge points for one use magical items like potions or scrolls.
