Default Re: Converting GURPS characters to TFT

Unless you are just going for "really really fudgey", you should also know that the basic bare-hand damage scales are also completely different between the two system; whereas the value of "1" in both systems is totally different:

TFT: ST-10 (1-3)...ST-20 (1+1); providing a max range of 3 to 7.

GURPS: ST-10 (1-2)...ST-20 (2-1); providing a max range of 4 to 11.

Think of it this way if it helps, the value of "1" in TFT is stated in Kilometers, and value of "1" in GURPS is stated in Miles.

Without getting into the actual math that no one wants to see anyway, take my word on it, the scales are different and do not directly translate. The GURPS characters are "larger" - pound for pound, unit for unit - than the TFT figures of the same attribute values.

And add weapon damage, only makes the discrepancy between the scales more apparent.

But hey, do what you like and "Fight on!"... oh, that's from another game where the characters are on totally different scale too ;-D
