Cosmic Powers
                                       
An alternate purchasing scheme for GURPS Supers
     _________________________________________________________________
   
   This purchasing scheme is intended to allow GURPS Supers to handle the
   tremendous power levels that appear in mainstream comics without
   having to spend thousands or millions of points to do so. The basic
   concept behind Cosmic Power is that the more power you have, the less
   important a further increase in power becomes, as you will find fewer
   and fewer situations where your full power will be needed. To reflect
   this in game terms, you get a discount for purchasing large amounts of
   power (similar to buying in bulk at a supermarket...) The table below
   shows the discounts provided...
   
       Level      LC Multiplier
        1-20           ×1
       21-200         ×1/10
      201-2000       ×1/100
     2001-20,000     ×1/1000
   20,001-200,000   ×1/10,000
         :              :
   
   And so on.
   
   So, if purchasing 300 Levels of the Laser power (LC 8), the first
   twenty levels would cost 8 points each (total cost 160); the next 180
   levels (21-200) would cost 0.8 points each (for an additional 144
   points), and the final hundred levels would cost 0.08 points each (for
   another 8 points); total cost: 312 points.
   
   This same purchasing scheme can also be used for Levelled Advantages;
   one could buy DR500 by paying normal price for the first twenty points
   of DR, one-tenth price for every additional DR up to 200,
   one-hundredth price for every additional DR up to 2000, and so on.
   
   Sometimes, a player will want to apply an Enhancement or Limitation to
   only a portion of the levels of a power; when doing this, apply to the
   most expensive levels first, then to the next-most-expensive, and so
   on down the line.
