Does anyone still have the CP2020 Hero files?

The only Cyberpunk related adaptation I know of is Shadowpunk (that is homebrew mix of Shadowrun and Cyberpunk). Just search for Shadowpunk Hero System and you should easily find the adaptation. It's for 5th edition and I believe the latast version is 0.91.

There's an adaptation of Harmonious Jade on Michael Surbrook's Page (http://surbrook.devermore.net/adaptationsrpg/EXjade.html). It's for 5th edition, but can still give you some good ideas.

An some more ideas on a previous thread on this forum:

There are a bunch of write-ups at 'Surbrook's Stuff', some with racial templates.

Take a look at Michael Surbrook's conversion. It's for hero 5e and I'm not sure which gurps edition, but it should help.

ha!  I wasn't thinking straight.  I was not thinking of whether the snake had limbs or not, simply using the extra limb to demonstrate that using its body to constrict a victim would not interfere with the normal use of any other limbs the character might have.

 

I am now wondering how to model a snake with no limbs but able to constrict and hold an opponent...

Hero System Bestiary page 483 has the Constrictor Snake.

The relevant parts are basically:

Coils: +15 STR, Only With Grab And Squeeze (-1)

and

Physical Complication: Very Limited Manipulation (Frequently, Greatly Impairing)

'The Ultimate Base' has

What happens when you take cup of the water out of the life support area  effect?  The life support is no longer protecting people from its negative effects.

 

Just repeating "it does change the water" isn't a magical incantation either.  However, noting that life support by definition and design in the book protects from negative effects rather than negates them is not a magical incantation.  Think about resistant protection.  It doesn't make attacks go away, it makes you not hurt as badly by them.  No matter what the special effect, the attack isn't dispelled or negated, it is protected from.

 

You're arguing mechanics from special effect.  That's not how the game works.  That's not how the rules work.  The game is very flexible but you can't use a power to do what it doesn't actually do.

Actually, both Champions Powers and the Hero System Grimoire have powers that create food and water from nothing at all by using ' Life Support (Diminished
Eating: no need to eat or drink), Usable Simultaneously', going as far as saying they can divide the food as they see fit (with GM's permission of course. So I believe Lucius' build and reasoning is actually correct.

Also Grimoire has a power called 'Putrify' built as 'Minor Transform 3d6 (edible food and drink to spoiled food and drink, heals back through another application of this spellor another appropriate spell)' that I believe can be tweaked for the OP's purpose. The relevant part to determine quantity is:

For purposes of this spell, the GM should assume that each pound of food or gallon of drink has 1 BODY, then use the total on the dice to determine how much the spell ruins.

A character with Stretching can probably Stretch his neck (and thus his head) around a corner to perceive things, but he can’t Stretch individual sensory organs such as just his eyes or just his ears. If he wants the ability to do that, he can buy it as a “Stretching trick” using a Limited form of Clairsentience, or perhaps the Adjacent Sense Modifier.
