Sorcery: (Inspired By) Squirtle

Look out, it's Reptar.

As something of a sister post to the charmander post, let's see if I can continue statting out more Sorcery spells inspired by Pokemon, this time, Squirtle.

Tackle

Ok, this isn't a move, this is a slam basically. Squirtle would likely have high natural DR in GURPS, so probably ignores a great deal of recoil damage.

Tail Whip

Again, this isn't really a "sorcery," but more a feature of tails in general. Assuming a character has a tail, this is a Side Effect enhancement for the tail. Writing this in a Dungeon Fantasy style power-up form, and assuming the side effect is -10 points worth of DR (nominally, -2 DR.) This is a +60%  Side-Effect enhancement if this is allowed (the Basic Set notes that nominally this is only allowed for innate attacks) this might look like:

• 3 points for a crushing or piercing tail
• 4 points for a large piercing tail
• 5 points for a cutting or impaling tail

Fort this to be cumulative, add +400% to the enhancement, which would instead be:

• 23 points for a crushing or piercing tail
• 28 for a large piercing tail
• 33 for a cutting tail
• 37 for an impaling tail.

Bubble

This one is actually an attack, hooray! This does low damage and has a chance of slowing an opponent down, which I'll take to mean a lowering of speed. This is most likely:

Bubble

Keywords: Obvious, missile

Full Cost: 56 points/level

Casting Roll: none, use innate attack.

Range: 10/100 yards

Duration: HT-20 Minutes

The "caster" spits bubbles at the opponent, doing a small amount of damage and having a chance of cumulatively lowering Basic Speed by 1. the attack does 2d damage per level. Lowering of basic speed is cumulative, but each exposure lasts for 3 minutes.
Statistics: Crushing Attack 2 (Sorcery, -15%; Side Effect, Disadvantage, Basic Speed -1.00, Cumulative, +470%) [56]

Water Gun

As strong as Bubble, but *much* cheaper.

Water Gun

Keywords: Obvious, missile

Full Cost: 10.5 points/level, rounded up.

Casting Roll: none, use innate attack.

Range: 10/100 yards

Duration: Instantaneous

The "caster" spits water hard enough to hurt the opponent. This does 2d crushing damage per level. This does knockback as if the damage was doubled.
Statistics: Crushing Attack 2 (Sorcery, -15%, Double Knockback, +20%) [11]

Bite

This is, at it's simplest, cutting teeth. For a more accurate version, this also includes a follow-up effect of stun. This is simply:

Affliction (Follow-up, Teeth, +0%; Stun, +0%)[10]

Skull Bash

This is again a striker, but the striker is assumed to be the head, it takes two turns, and does a lot of damage, while preparing defense is higher than normal. This headbutt striker might be statted as:

Crushing Striker(Cannot Parry, -40%; Limited Arc, Straight Ahead, -40%, Takes Extra Time, 1 ready, -10%)[1] Plus

Damage Resistance 1 (Accessibility, Only when preparing headbutt, -60%)[2] Plus

Striking ST 8 (Only For Headbutt,  -60%)[16]

If you wanted to make the attack as a meta-trait, this would be 19 points altogether.

Hydro Pump

This is an intensely powerful water attack, but it has a really bad accuracy.

Hydro Pump

Keywords: Obvious, missile

Full Cost: 27 points/level.

Casting Roll: none, use innate attack.

Range: 10/100 yards

Duration: Instantaneous

The "caster" shoots water at tremendous speed and volume at the target. It is not very controllable, but it does a large amount of damage. This does 6d crushing damage per level, and 12d knockback per level.
Statistics: Crushing Attack 6 (Sorcery, -15%, Double Knockback, +20%; Innacurate, 0 Accuracy, -15%) [27]

Other Thoughts

In Pokemon, attacks can't be leveled, so if someone were interested in the authentic GURPS: Pokemon experience, they'd be prevented from levelling water gun to the point that Hyrdro Pump would be useless. Converting mechanics from one game to another is never a straight easy process, and GURPS cares about a lot more than just how good someone is at fighting in a controlled environment. I'd guess most pokemon almost have unkillable 2 or 3, but Some kinda "Easy To Faint" disadvantage because no one ever dies really (except in the movies) even when bringing enough power to bury entire cities. A GURPS: Pokemon game might run the risk of real death though depending on how it is played.
