It's a cool setting IMO.

>>1.  Immune to Mind Control.  How do you represent that in GURPS?

> Resistance). How common is Mind Control?

Ah, okay.  I saw that and missed the part where you could choose Immune
instead of just a bonus.

>>3.  High magical potential.  Is there a way to do this in the rules?  I
can

Racial Magery doesn't really work.

Basically, in the Palladium system, things work like this.  Everyone has a
PPE stat.  Most people only have around 5 or so.  Mages have a lot.  Each
spell costs a certain amount of PPE to cast.  Mages can siphon the energy
from people to cast spells, through a ritual or simply killing them.
Nightbane(the race I'm converting first) have a lot of PPE, wether they're
mages or not.  This makes them really attractive to mages and makes them
powerful if they do decide to learn spells.

So as you see, magery doesn't really reflect that.
