    Want to create a superhero? A wuxia fighter? An earth-shattering psi? A wizard or shaman with abilities beyond spells and rituals? A god? With the GURPS Basic Set and Powers, you have POWERS everything you need to create superhuman heroes: 5 Case-by-case advice on how to turn over 100 advantages from the Basic Set into superhuman abilities – with new modifiers, variant traits, optional rules, and plenty of examples. 5 Five flexible new advantages: Control, Create, Illusion, Leech, and Static. 5 Dozens of new enhancements and limitations to fine-tune your abilities. 5 Energy Reserves to fuel abilities, “alternative abilities” that don’t all work at once, and ways to substitute abilities you have for those you don’t. 5 Hundreds of sample abilities – energy blasts, curses, defenses, mental gifts, and more. 5 Rules for powers – groups of abilities linked by origin – with over 40 ready-to-use examples. 5 Guidelines on biological, chi, divine, elemental, magical, moral, nature, psionic, spirit, and super powers – even godlike cosmic powers – and their interactions. 5 Advice to GMs on how to keep it fun and prevent high-powered heroes from taking over! GURPS Powers requires the GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition, and replaces the Third Edition books GURPS Supers and GURPS Psionics. The advice on abilities and powers can be used with any game that features superhuman characters.

    GURPS Advantages a Compendium of Pregenerated Abilities

    GURPS Advantages A Compendium of Pregenerated Abilities Compiled by Atreyu Hibiki; submitted by the good people of the SJGames forums, at h ttp://forums. s jgames. c om/ Illustrations by Atreyu Hibiki. 1 The material presented here is the original creation of the referenced submitters, intended for use with the GURPS system from Steve Jackson Games. This material is not official and is not endorsed by Steve Jackson Games. The fonts used were Times New Roman and Arial, from Microsoft, and Beyond Wonderland, from www.1001freefonts.com Greetings. What you now hold in your hands (if you printed it, that is. More likely you're reading it on a screen) is an unofficial gaming supplement for use with the GURPS roleplaying system by Steve Jackson Games. This 'book' was conceptualized after the success of a similar project, GURPS Historical Folk. The idea was along the lines of “If people would download a document filled with generic job templates, they probably would be interested in having premade abilities, as well.” After helping a number of people put together their ability concepts, I opened a thread on the SJGames forums with the express purpose of making this collection. I present the contents of that post here: Following the apparent interest in the Historical Folk 4e thread, I am considering creating a collected PDF 'book' of easy-grab abilities. The idea here is to make a list that any GM would feel comfortable using in a Supers or Anything-Goes campaign. For ease of use in a generic game I'm placing some rules: -All abilities must follow 'standard' GURPS rules, so no homebrew base advantages allowed.
