New Advantages - Engineer (Torchlight) - Part 3

 Final Engineer skills that I'm interesting in porting to GURPS.

I really should have adapted the Engineer Charge earlier but I couldn't figure out how to do it until today. 

Immobilization Copter [40/8]

The Immobilization Copter is a tiny flying bot that is able to slow enemies with a slowing ray. Once every 3 seconds, it can unleash a healing pulse in an 4 yards area around itself that heals 4HP to all allies in the area.

The values are for a 62 points delver and for a 250 points delver.

Ally: 100% [5] or Ally 25% [1], Constantly (x4); Minion (+0% due to reprogrammable); Summonable (+100%);

Affliction [10]; Slow (+15%); Range is actually 5 yards (-40%); Fixed Duration 3 min (+0%), Reduced Duration 1/100 (-40%); Cosmic: No dice roll required (+100%).

Slow is Basic Move -3 [-15];

Engineer Charge [7]

You built a battery gadget to power up your other gadgets. Each time you hit with an attack, you build up a charge. This charge can be spent to temporarily power up certain engineer advantages. You have up to 10 charges. Charge slowly bleeds away at a rate of 1 per second, starting at the end of a turn where you haven't recharged it.

Here are the ways to power up previously mentioned advantages:

  • Flame Hammer: Each Charge spent increases the RoF of the splinters attack by 1, up to RoF 7.
  • Spider Mines: You may spend 4 Charges to instantly rebuild your Spider Mines without having to spend any time.
  • Seismic Slam: You may spend 4 Charges to increase the AoE to 4 yards.
  • Onslaught: You may spend 5 Charges to use this ability without spending FP.
  • Ember Quake: Each charge spent increases the skill of the homing attack by 2, up to +6;
  • Shock Grenade: You may spend 2 Charges to instantly rebuild your Shock Grenade.

Energy Reserve 10 [30]; Special Recharge: Bleeds away (-80%); Power Stunts Only (-10%); Triggered Recharge 1/second: occasional when you do damage in combat (+30%); Actual Time is One Attack Only (+5%); Gadget Limitation: Can be stolen (-30%)

Rule Access: Power Stunts [1]

-80-10+35-30=-85; 30+(30*-80%)=6

 

Bulwark [8]

Your expertise in making armor allows you to get the most out of it. Whenever you wear armor with at least 2 DR, you get +2 DR.

  • Engineer Charge: You may spend Charges to increase the DR provided, by 1 per Charge spent against a single attack.

DR 2 [10]; Accessibility, Only in DR 2+ armor (-20%); 

 

Forcefield [1/level]

You created a gadget that attaches to your armor and allows you to create a Forcefield around you and your allies. Once the forcefield takes a certain amount of damage, it breaks, and it must recharge. To activate the Forcefield, you must use a Ready maneuver, and spend 1 FP. The Forcefield remains active for 10 seconds. You and all allies within 2 yards gain 1 Ablative DR per level, max 10. The forcefield protects only against direct attacks, other forms of damage like falling or poison bypass it.

  • Engineer Charge: You may spend 6 Charges to turn the Forcefield into Semi-Ablative DR, meaning it only loses 1 point per 10 damage it takes.

DR 1 [5]; Ablative (-80%); Force Field (+20%); Area of Effect 2 yards (+50%); Costs FP per 10 seconds (-20%); Doubly Aspected: Only in combat and only against direct attacks (-40%); Gadget Limitation: Can be stolen (-30%);

-80+20+50-20-40-30=-100 

5*0.2=1

 

Overload [12]

You built a gadget into your armor that allows you to project a nova of electricity. When in combat, spend 2FP to deal 10 burn damage to all enemies up to 4 yards of you. Divide the damage by the number of yards between you and the enemy. Once you use Overload, your suit must cooldown for 5 seconds before it can be used again.

  • Engineer Charge: For every 2 charges spent, increase damage by 1.

Innate Attack: Burn 3d6 [15]; AoE 4 yards (+100%); Emanation (-20%); Selective Area (+20%); Can be Stolen (-30%); Aspected: Only in Combat (-20%); Costs FP 2 (-10%); Dissipation (-50%); Takes Recharge: 5 seconds (-10%);

100-20+20-30-20-10-50-10=-20

15*0.8=12

 

Dynamo Field [11]

You built a gadget into your helmet that allows you to project an electrical burst around you that damages foes and helps you build up charge. When in combat, spend 2 FP and a concentrate to deal 2d6 burn damage to all enemies around you. If this damage manages to get through DR you deal 1 extra damage and gain 1 charge per target that took that extra damage. Dynamo Field cannot benefit from spending Charge. Dynamo Field does not work against objects.

Innate Attack: burn 2d6 [10]; AoE 2 Yards (+50%); Emanation (-20%); Selective Area (+20%); Dissipation (-50%); Costs FP 2 (-10%); Can be Stolen (-30%);

50-20+20-50-10-30=-40

I'm going to ignore RAW forbidding blood agent with follow-up, raw is being stupid here. I'm using "cosmic" to justify breaking that rule.

Leech [25]; Only Heals Charge (-20%); Blood Agent (-40%); Follow-up: Cosmic (+50%); Can be Stolen (-30%); Double Aspected: Only in Combat and against Creatures.(-40%)

-20-40+50-30-40=-80

(10*0.6)+(25*0.2)=11

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 ...

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...

Applied Metatech

 Just some consumable items I made using Metatech rules. If your metatech items are more expensive, switch the multiplier (x15) for the appropriate one in the calculations. Examples of Metatech Alchemist's Burst Single use grenade that deals 2d6 burn in a 2 yard AoE. $225, 1lb 2 lvs of Innate Attack (burn) 5/lv, AoE (50%); 15 pts. 15*15=225$   Alchemist's Inferno Single use grenade that deals 6d6 burn in a 2 yard AoE. $675, 1lb 6 lvs of Innate Attack (burn) 5/lv, AoE (50%); 45pts. 45*15=675$   Alchemist's Acid Single use grenade that deals 3d6 corrosion damage to a single target. $450, 1lb 3 lvs of Innate Attack (corrosion) 10/lv, 30pts. 30*15=450   Alchemist's Ice Blast Single use grenade that deals 2d6 burn with no incendiary effect in a 2 yard AoE. Targets injured by this effect must make an HT roll, at -1 per 2 points of injury, or take a -2 penalty to DX and become Numb (p. B146) for 1 second. $345, 1lb 2 lvs of Inna...
