GURPSよろず

In its most basic form, 万能の天才 represents inspiration. This is often attributable to a god, a spirit (guardian angel, genius, or muse), or personal enlightenment (“harmony with the Tao”). Below are two other possibilities. Hidden Gifts: 万能の天才 could be a spontaneous manifestation of unrealized natural aptitude --or skills from a past life. Under stress, these gifts emerge in what’s usually a learning experience. Take Retention (+25%), 「非常時のみ」 (-30%), and Focused (-20%) in the area of aptitude.
A “natural spell-caster” with 魔法の素質 needs Focused, Magical, while someone who uses 前世の記憶 (p. B80) to recall past lives has Focused, Past Lives.

Telepresence:
　 Someone with Digital Mind or the Machine 「共通性質」 might be able to ask a “remote operator” with useful skills to take control of his body for the duration of a task. He remains aware of what his body is doing, but he has no access to his operator’s knowledge. Add External (-20%), and use Focused (-20%) to limit skills to those known by the remote operator(s).

■代替案（Alternatives）
万能の天才 enables inspired deeds.
直感 (p. 56) better represents inspired choices, while 福者 (p. 43), 「託宣」 (p. 65), and 未来予知 (p. 68) are all more appropriate for inspired knowledge. For a completely different take on inspiration, consider 「選ばれし者」 (p. B60).
Those contemplating 万能の天才 should also look at 「モジュール式能力」 (p. 62). It, too, can grant access to a wide range of skills initially unknown to the user. It’s less spontaneous, but much more flexible.

■追加特別増強（New Special Enhancement）
Wild Ability: Only for those with powers. In addition to unknown skills, you can use abilities you don’t have.
Any such ability must be part of one of your powers, and can’t have modifiers other than those required by the power it belongs to (for instance, its power modifier). You get one “use” of the ability --which means exactly what it does for 「回数制限」 (p. B112). If the ability comes in dice or levels, you produce effects equal to one level or 30 points worth, whichever is better. +50%.

■追加特別限定（New Special Limitation）
External: Some remote party communicates the necessary skills to you.
Specify whether they use radio, telepathy, or something else (for ideas, see 「遠隔通信」, p. B91).
敵 might be able to jam the signal, compromise the person at the other end, etc. -20%.

■パワーアップ（Powering Up）
万能の天才 is traditional for chi powers and appropriate for divine and spirit powers. It might even suit Telepathy power, if given External (and possibly Focused, but only if the source is one specific person --“people in general” is too broad to qualify).
Gods are likely to have many levels of 万能の天才 as part of a cosmic power.
才能 gives a bonus to the die roll to use any skill or ability granted by 「万能の天才」.

Wild Talent
see p. B99
This ability is especially suitable for individuals who’ve achieved “harmony with the Tao” – the putative goal of many Chinese martial arts. A warrior can use this advantage to attempt unmastered techniques at full skill instead of at a default penalty, if he knows the underlying skill. A martial artist who also has Trained by a Master or Weapon Master can even attempt unknown cinematic skills. If your Wild Talent only works for these two purposes, add the -20% limitation “Focused, Martial Arts.”
