Anyway, the program randomic auto-generated that and I thought that it would generate something plausible for SM+1 with gigantism. I'll re-up the knight and a little bit littler barbarian when I got home.

And thanks for checking out my work. I'll make some more, at least to have a complete party (that means at least a thief and a cleric).

Edit: upped the knight.

I'm from Canada, and of about the right age that I can work in either metric or imperial. Most people would stand between, say, 5' and 6' 6", which works out to 152 cm up to 198 cm. Someone with Gigantism is likely to top 7' (214 cm), so I would recommend something in that ballpark. Likely weight is in the order of 300+ lbs (135-140 kgs).

For comparison, my Minotaur Barbarian, Mrugnak, is a more modest 2.64m (8'8") and 218kg (480 lbs). In retrospect, he's thinner than I really visualized him as, and he could probably stand to gain 80 to 100 lbs.

Already two fellows forumites cited the "right age" to be able to use both systems. Is out of topic but let me say it: I'm from Brasil and for me to be the right age to remember both systems would put me a hundred and fifty years old... And there was a smiley there, I'm sure. I'm putting one here too, see? :-)

Until I get to my computer with GCS, the errata for Bartok the Barbarian is this: He is 8' tall and weight 400lbs, because Dungeon Fantasy is over the top fantasy roleplay.

Some of the things that seems not really optimized on the chars, such as don't taking default bonus on the weapons, are an artifact of the DF templates. They say something like this:
Take two weapons from this list at DX+2: shortsword [12], broadsword[12], axe/mace[12] etc.

I tried to make the chars as "by the book" as possible.

Now, thanks for all the critics on the chars, didn't expect so many so soon. This is great!

Let's say, "right age and geographic location", if that would make you happier. :P

I haven't done very much work with GCS, any idea how difficult it would be to add the "class" templates?

I don't think that GCS support "choose 20 points from this list of advantages, disadvantges, skills"...

Great. I was missing a page as that, with some pregenerated chars and all that. Congrats and thanks, Hackbarth!

Which character sheet is that? I really like it.

True, although I was thinking more of the automatic traits associated with each template.

[hackbarth]

Two PCs more on my Dungeon Fantasy Page: a Cleric and a Druid.

And I modified all the previous chars, to follow more closely the DF guides (W now has a power item instead of a powerstone on a staff) or to follow suggestions (K has better use of defaults, B has believable stature and height).

Also I'm trying to equip them accordingly, but the more enjoyable part for a DF player (getting stuff) is boring as hell to the GM. If my choice of equipment for any of them seems lacking in effectiveness or poor choices, drop me a note.

I'll try to make all the templates till 11/22 for an adventure I'll GM in the GURPS Holy Day!

And a Thief! Also, I properly equipped the Scout.
