[Psionic Powers] Gestalts Only limitation?
I'm unable to find one, but it would fit some characters and templates. Basically, an Accessibility limitation: the power only works if the users are together in a Gestalt.
I'm wondering how big a limitation this should be, and whether it would vary by power, or by general frequency of psis in the setting (Psionic Campaigns, pp15-16), or both (and if it does vary, by how much). For example, the vampires of Clockpunk Eastern Europe in my Five Earths setting (I start discussing them with Dargaron here) have a limited ability to control the weather, but with few exceptions, can only do this in groups, hence the need for this limitation. Thoughts?

It looks like a cross between a form of Requires Assistants [a Limitation based on Maintenance, but is found under Accessibility in Powers p99] and a version of Ceremonial Magery [Thaumatology p23]. It looks closer in value to the latter, to me.

Re: [Psionic Powers] Gestalts Only limitation?
Isn't there a "By our powers combined" rule in Supers?

Ouch.
No such rule as I would think of it, though the gesltat rules are there under Power Stunts. However Kromm and I think RPK both have posted that for a group you each buy a % of the total power you have that only works s a group. That is for fusion type charecters. |

There are offical rules for this in Pyramid #3/65: Alternate GURPS III written by myself and Antoni Ten Munros.

Unless you tell me -40% is wildly different from said official rules, I think I'll have to go with Not another shrubbery's suggestion for Ceremonial Magery.

Does it matter if one of the involved characters has a level or two without the limitation, and the rest of their levels with? If someone has the psi power without that limitation, can they still join the gestalt?
