Looking for advice on how to create a costs x energy limitation.

I'm trying to build a limitation for an ability sort of like "costs FP" and "Costs HP" but what I want it to do is cost a percentage of the available pool of energy.

Like for instance a "costs 20% of your FP"

I am running into trouble though. I thought about making it a "either or" one but that makes it effectively costs a 0% modifier.

I am no gurps wizard or anything, but I would think that it should be worth a bit more than a mere 0%.

Mostly because if you are at 2 health, "20%" is effectively half your health.

Even something like cost 50% of your FP, if you are at say 4 FP, out of a possible 15, than that's quite debilitating limitation.

It just seems to me that this would be a very hefty limitation.

Ideas anyone?
