Higher Purpose (B59) [5] is a supernatural mental Advantage that allows you to exceed your normal limits in one specific pursuit. It functions similar to Code of Honor.

Examples:

  • "Acquire Knowledge" (GURPS Monster Hunters 1 page 24)
  • "Assist Allies" (GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 11 page 16)
  • "Defend the Faithful" (GURPS Monster Hunters 1 page 24)
  • "Deliver the Package" (GURPS Action 1 page 18)
  • "Medic!" (GURPS Action 1 page 18)
  • "Slay (Monster)" (GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 11 page 12)

Note[]

Although S27 mentions this "does for serious, thoughtful characters what Daredevil does for hotheaded thrill-seekers" this is only referring to getting a +1 to rolls, NOT to rerolling critical failures.

S27 also allows for making this a leveled trait.
