Rule citation for related fractional reductions
I can't seem to find the location for the rule(s) that allow the fractional cost reduction for Alternate, One Time, and Costs CP abilities.
Can anyone point me there, please? |

Re: Rule citation for related fractional reductions
Hm. I just looked at GURPS Horror. On page 85 there is an entry in a template for Pod People that gives them Possession with Limited Use (Once Only -80%), but there is no entry in the New Limitations section for it. So I am thinking that can't be the original citation creating the Once Only limitation.
Does anyone know where the Limitation first appeared? Also, I am fairly sure that somewhere I have seen One Use Only not as a Limitation but as an after-build divisor like Alternate Abilities gives 1/5. Am I crazy or does anyone else remember that? |

Supers had One Use Only gadgets (pg 74) and One-Use Powers (pg 112) but these were options for those with Gadgeteer and Ultrapower and actually seemed to work a lot more like "Using Abilities At Default" since it involved designing abilities as-needed on the spot for a single use than prepaying for a specific ability usable once. |

Hmm. I'm going to see if I can find it in Supers.

Supers 114, it specifically calls out being similar to Favor. |

Wondering if "corresponds to the standard ability the same way" would mean you get to roll 3d6 and on a crit success don't even lose it? |
