Horde Intelligence

Horde Intelligence is a mitigator for IQ penalties found on page 6 of GURPS Power-Ups 8: Limitations
Given that this reduces -1 to IQ [-20] to [-8] another way to look at this might be if taking IQ as an advantage, to buy it with "only in a horde, -40%
To use the "giant ants" example, with IQ valued from 0 (10 is +100)...
Net: 88:
*IQ +2 [40]
*IQ +4 (Horde Only -40%) [48]
Net: [88]
*IQ +6 [120]
*(Mitigator, Horde Intelligence, -60%) [-32]
HI is basically just constructed using the instructions on the main page:
:the GM might want to figure out what limitations would be applied to the “counter” advantage, subtract those from -100%, and treat the result as a special limitation for that disadvantage.
In this case 100 minus 60 is 40.
