Holy Water and Divine Curse from Dungeon Fantasy 5: Demons
GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 5: Demons describes two variants of the Divine Curse disadvantage on page 17 - Divine Curse (Holy water counts as acid) and Divine Curse (Reversed Healing). Unfortunately, no point costs are given. I am not sure how to estimate such costs properly, but I would love to use these traits in racial templates. What would be an appropriate cost for these?

Re: Holy Water and Divine Curse from Dungeon Fantasy 5: Demons
It should be based on the Weakness disadvantage (p. B161) rather than being a Divine Curse variant.
Weakness (Holy Water (Occasional, x1 multiplier), 1d HP/minute (-20 points base). Limitation: Variable (damage reduced by waterproof barriers, increased based on body surface area exposed), -40%.) [-12]. Several templates from GURPS 4E Horror just list Weakness (Holy Water) as having a -20 point value without the Variable limitation. Going by the point costs for Weakness (Holy Water), I'd call Weakness (Healing Spells/Potions) a Rare threat (0.5x base cost), applying the Variable limitation if you can make a Resistance Roll to avoid damage. So, -10 points for the irresistible version, -6 points otherwise. Last edited by Pursuivant; 01-24-2023 at 06:42 AM. |

Which is to say that looking up the costs for weakness is the right thing to do! EDIT: it appears you know this, just making it explicit!

Re: Holy Water and Divine Curse from Dungeon Fantasy 5: Demons
Thanks, that makes sense. I'll just slap Reduced Time 6, +120% on it to make it deal 1d/second instead of 1d/minute. This will result in [-36], which seems way too much.
