GURPS Powers

GURPS Powers is a role-playing character book written by Sean Punch (with vignettes and additional writing by Phil Masters) and released in December 2005 for the Fourth Edition of GURPS.

The book aims to be genre independent and covers rules for characters from fantasy and myth to supers and science fiction with no bias towards any one.

The first section provides the framework and rules with which a player and Game Master construct a Power.

A Power is – like Psionics as presented in the Basic Set – a range of abilities (i.e., Advantages) and a Talent organized in a logical grouping.

In addition, Powers have a Source and Focus that add color and help to tie together the abilities.
