That's for permanent boosts, of course. Temporary ones can be accomplished by other means, such as improvising new abilities (using the relevant rules from Powers and elsewhere), having the variant of Neutralize that lets you copy the opponent's ability (possibly as something like "Power Theft Only," as it's not like Master Roshi temporarily lost the ability to use his kamehameha when Goku successfully copied it), having something like Blessed (Heroic Feats), having a powerful ability with Limited Use, etc.

Re: Games that should NEVER Be done in Gurps
I was thinking more an RPG about playing the game ASL.

Re: Games that should NEVER Be done in Gurps
None. Cause instead of more rules you can always go less rules and just stick to the standard 3d6 success roll and go with narrative driven for everything else.
Then it truly works for anything. Even ultra high powered, since the GM can just set a success roll goal even for a god tier character, if it would actually be a challenge. Low power character: roll under 12 to pull this off God tier character: roll under 12 to pull this off Works in both situations, but then again I have always enjoyed a little bit of handwaving. |

Re: Games that should NEVER Be done in Gurps
I'm still confused as to how this qualifies as using GURPS as opposed to any other game that relies on 3d6-roll-under?

I've done a GURPS Rifts conversion. GURPS and D20 are at odds with each other, design-wise, though; pick one or the other.

Re: Games that should NEVER Be done in Gurps
So, the PCs are grognards, seeking out long out-of-print expansions for their game, using Social Engineering rules to make contact with and talk other grognards into actually setting up a game and playing it out?
(On a crit fail, you drop the box(es) and have to re-sort all the counters before you can play the next game.) |

I must apologise, however, for my failure to contribute a "don't do it" game.
