Modified Capacity

March 2009, GURPS Psionic Powers pg 18 introduces a table of limitations/feature/enhancements which can substitute for Basic Lift for Warp. It substitutes for Naked and Extra Carrying Capacity.
: At the GM’s option, the “static” column may be used for a setting in which only psionic power, not physical strength, determines how much a psi can ’port; this is assumed for the Exoteleport ability
The columns are called Lift (BL) and Lift (Static).
This could be useful for other advantages too, if people don't want capacity linked to ST!
Pg 70 has an example:
:Modified Capacity, 1 lb., -30%
Page 83 says "Modified Capacity limitation, 18." despite it also potentially just being a feature or an enhancement.
If this was allowed on somthing which normally did not interact with BL but did so via an enhancement (ie Force Field +20) then it wouldn't be balanced to allow a -30% limitation on the overall ability.
It would make more sense to apply that as a Limited Enhancements to reduce the value of Force Field.
To enhance the ability of force field, it could then be an Enhanced Enhancement.

:Working on a character for an upcoming game, who will have Permeation with Can Carry Objects and gadget limitations-basically she will have a small magical device that lets her swim through rock.
:However, it strikes me that Can Carry Objects is based on basic lift. Is there a canon way to shift it to a fixed amount of mass?
PK
:It can be a 0-point special effect to shift it to a flat BL 20 lbs., as long as the GM approves. That way No Encumbrance = 20 lbs., Light Encumbrance = 40 lbs., and so on.
