But GURPS Dungeon Fantasy throws away some of the best features of GURPS, by making templates mandatory and putting other similar restraints on character advancement.
It would be so much better, inifinitely better, if niche protection was an
emergent feature of the rules system, rather than something that needs to be artificially imposed on the
metagame level.
