New Techniques

 Some custom techniques. Some were inspired by D&D 4e, others by necessity (I felt the need for a way to have move and attack without the 9 skill limitation, hence Controlled Charge and Dynamic Attack). I've also added my own dual attack house rule which comes with a technique. New Techniques Houserule: There are no (Hard) techniques. All techniques are average. Reminder: Unarmed combat skills (Brawling, Boxing and Karate) are also melee weapon skills.      Power Attack Defaults : Pre-requisite Skill -4 Pre-Requisites : Any Weapon skill. Max : Pre-requisite Skill -1 This is an attack where you sacrifice accuracy for power. Roll against Power Attack to Hit. If the attack succeeds, deal damage as usual but add +2 or +1 per die, whichever is better.   Tide of Iron (revised) This is combination of a regular weapon attack to the torso with the Shield Shove. Defaults : Combination ( weapon/torso + Shield Shove/Torso ) Weapon Skill-6+Shield ...

Illusion Spells

You can create an illusion anywhere that you can see within 100 yards; see Area (p. 9) for the size.

Meta spells and explanation of terms

It occurs to me that in order for others to understand how I priced some spells, I must explain some of the nomenclature I use to simplify my spells: How to adapt Sorcery Spells: Remove the sorcery modifier completely, add Wizardly/Divine Magic and D&D magic, then add a fatigue cost.   Wizardly Magic (-30%) : Required Disadvantage (-10%), Requires Grimoire (-10%); Can only use Tally (-10%). Divine Magic (-30%) : Requires Holy Symbol (-10%), Required Disadvantage (-10%); Can only use Tally (-10%). D&D Magic (-30%) : Requires Gestures, -10%; Requires Magic Words, -10%, Magical/Divine, -10%. Based on Different Attribute ( +20%) : Changes resist roll from HT to Will or something like that Based on Different Attribute, Own Roll (+20%) : Usually for malediction so you use your skill instead of pure will. Requires Skill roll (-10%) : For abilities with no activation Range 10 yards - Attacks (-20%): Increased 1/2D, 5x, +10%; Reduced Range, 1/10, -30% Range 10 y...

The Magic System

This was heavily inspired by Generic Universal Eggplant's Wizardry System, as well as the Modular Powers from this other site I found one day. And then I copied the calamity table from no school grognard College Ritual Book Magic. The main thing I wanted to do was have being an effective caster something possible on 62pt games, and not become overpowered at 250pt games. The other thing I wanted was having all the traditional (in my mind) parts of being a caster still exist, so every spell requires chanting, hand movements and so on. https://enragedeggplant.blogspot.com/2023/09/introduction-to-wizardry.html https://greyson.conlang.org/2020/04/08/modular-powers-a-new-flexible-powers-magic-system-for-gurps/ https://noschoolgrognard.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html Houserules For certain spells that are clearly weaker than their price indicates, (GM choice) after reaching the -80% max limitation, apply the remaining limitation on top. For example. 50pts -120% =10pts due to the max 80, t...
