How does GURPS now based on CoreRPG have some way to create an effect and when I insert it into the target, I get some modifications?
Example:
Crawling - it gives me 4 * in melee attack -3 on my active defenses -2 † to be hit and my move drops to 1/3 (+2 per hex).
That is whenever using this effect built into it is already that modification ...

The effects come directly from CoreRPG. so whatever you can do in core you can do in GURPS. To my knowledge there is no way to apply modifications.

CoreRPG effects are basically notes that show up in the chat window, that you can also expire automatically. So, you could apply an effect of "Crawling" to an actor and every time their turn comes up in the CT, you will be reminded they're crawling. I believe that you can add a duration, and the effect will be automatically removed after that number of rounds - so that can remind you when spell effects end or whatever.

Thanks Ronnke and Andraax.

I think you are correct that CoreRPG effects have a duration, but I don't think that funtionality is integrated into the current GURPS ruleset. Pretty sure it's on the to-do list, tho.

Just checked. CoreRPG effects do *not* have a duration, hence GURPS does not either.

Well, the D20 ones do? I know for a Pathfinder does.

I think *most* of the CoreRPG derived ones do. 3.5, Pathfinder, 4E, 5E, Castles and Crusades.
