AI summary

Grants you a personal GURPS character sheet reflecting your current skills, advantages and disadvantages, which you can improve by spending character points including buying down or buying off disadvantages. You start with enough points to reach a base of 100 plus your current disadvantages (or keep a higher existing total), or you may instead take a flat 100 points or reinvent yourself with the Basic Action Template, roughly matching an untrained SWAT or S.H.I.E.L.D. candidate, and you earn at least one point per day or notable event, with one day now counting as one game session. You also get a private search engine and database covering all official GURPS material, invisible to everyone else, plus a one-time option, expiring if unused before entering a new world, to be transported to any official GURPS setting or adventure module.

Description

Drinking this essence grants you one of the strongest possible abilities, your personal GURPS character sheet and the ability to spend your startup points as well as gaining more points and then using them to better yourself.

Effects

  • The sheet will reflect your current self at first, including skills, advantages and disadvantages. You can buy down or even completely buy of disadvantages, if you have the points.

  • To enable your ability to ensure your continued existence you will be granted additional character points sufficient to raise your overall CP total to a base of 100 + current disadvantages, unless your overall CP total is already higher.

  • Alternatively you may start with 100 points or use the Basic Action Template to reinvent yourself.

  • The Basic Action Template would put you roughly on par with an untrained police swat candidate or even an untrained S.H.I.E.L.D. agent candidate.

  • At the end of each day or after any notable event, whichever happens first, you will gain a minimum of one point.

  • You also gain access to a search engine and database that covers all official GURPS material, source-books, modules and even magazines that had a GURPS related article.

  • No one else will be able to see or interact with your sheet, search engine and database.

  • Also be aware that one day lived is now equal to one game session as a default measure of time.

  • In addition to everything you have the one-time, single use, option to be transported to any official GURPS setting or adventure module. This option is only available before entering a new world, dimension and/or timeline. If it is not used, it expires.
