Re: Eberron - anyone has a conversion?
 

Although it is true that at least one point needs to be included in a slot to make it useful, to follow the model in Characters, it would likely be clearer to either phrase it, "Individual spell slots cost 3 CP..." or, "Individual spell slots cost 5 CP. Each slot includes one Spell Character Point. The character can put as as many additional Spell Character Points into them as he has available. Spell Character Points costs 2 CP each."

Re: Eberron - anyone has a conversion?
 

It should however be remembered that the overall level of power of Eberons' mages is lower than most D&D settings .

There are no Elminsers or other epic level "ubermages" in the setting . Mages whom can cast {intrinsically , not by scrolls etc} nineth level spells {17th level + for Wizards , Druids and Clerics , 18th + for Sorcerers} are held in awe and are extreamly rare and 10th level characters are largly the top of the heap . By comparison you couldn't swing a cat in Waterdeep {Forgotten Realms setting} without hitting a 10th level Wizard , Sorcerer , Cleric or Slumming Druid and you can bet body parts there are at least several characters able to cast 9th level spells on any given day in the city .

Before the Giants' empire fell , Eberon might have matched other world setting in overall power levels , but those days are thousands of years dead in the campaign settings current time period . Dragons might reach those levels though .

I like the way you modeled Warforged by the way .



Re your trouble figuring how to GURPS Artificers , don't feel too bad ; the developers of Dungeons and Dragons Online {which uses the Eberon setting} seem to have the same trouble {ie , no Artificers yet , and the Warforged are quite miffed by it ;p }

Um...SM-1 also makes them harder to hit in melee combat.

Re: Eberron - anyone has a conversion?
 

Whoops.

I retract my statement and will alter the template at the next opportunity...

Re: Eberron - anyone has a conversion?
 

So, how should we do sorcerors?

I'd say it would probably best to just build their individual spells as powers with the -10% limitation for magic. Oh, and they must work similarly to existing spells - they cost fatigue, need time to concentrate before working, and so on...

Re: Eberron - anyone has a conversion?
 

Don't sorcerers work basically the same as regular GURPS mages except that they can learn spells by inspriation?

Regular Magery and Wild Talent (Retention, Spells Only, Only to Learn Spells not cast them) should work.

Some thoughts on Warforged:

My shiny new Monster Manual III gives Warforged a weight of 300 lbs. So I'd suggest to replace the +2 HP with +3 ST. Also the bonus to HT should be +1 instead of +2. And finally Warforged have only two fingers (and a thumb) on each hand so I'd give them the first level of Ham-Fisted. With the sugessted changes the Warforged template would look like this:

Warforged (107 points)

Attribute Modifiers: +3 ST [30], +1 HT [10]
Advantages: Claws (Blunt Claws) [3], Damage Resistance 3 (Can’t Wear Armour, -40%) [9], Doesn’t Eat or Drink [10], Doesn’t Sleep [20], Machine (Immunity to Metabolic Hazards [30], Injury Tolerance (No Blood, Unliving) [25], Unhealing (Total) [-30]) [25], Unaging [15]
Disadvantages: Ham-Fisted [-5], Social Stigma (Minority Group) [-10].
Features: Healing spells and similar effect will only heal half as many hit points as normally. The Mechanic skill allows the skill user to function exactly as a doctor with the appropriate medical skills, however.
As contructs, warforged do not ordinarily have Fatigue points and cannot get exhausted. To push their bodies beyond the usual limits and to power supernatural abilities, they must buy Fatigue Points at the usual cost of 3/level.
Warforged can purchase up to four additional levels of Damage Resistance (Can’t Wear
Armour, -40%) [3/level]. However, if they have a total of more than four levels, they also must take a level of Basic Move -1 [-5]. If they have more than six, they need to take two levels.

Another Warforged:

Warforged Scout (51 points)

Attribute Modifiers: -2 ST [-20], +1 DX [20], -2 SM
Secondary Characteristic Modifiers: -1 Per [-5], -1 Basic Move [-5]
Advantages: Claws (Blunt Claws) [3], Damage Resistance 1 (Can’t Wear Armour, -40%) [3], Doesn’t Eat or Drink [10], Doesn’t Sleep [20], Machine (Immunity to Metabolic Hazards [30], Injury Tolerance (No Blood, Unliving) [25], Unhealing (Total) [-30]) [25], Unaging [15]
Disadvantages: Ham-Fisted [-5], Social Stigma (Minority Group) [-10].
Features: Healing spells and similar effect will only heal half as many hit points as normally. The Mechanic skill allows the skill user to function exactly as a doctor with the appropriate medical skills, however.
As contructs, warforged do not ordinarily have Fatigue points and cannot get exhausted. To push their bodies beyond the usual limits and to power supernatural abilities, they must buy Fatigue Points at the usual cost of 3/level.
Warforged Scouts can purchase up to four additional levels of Damage Resistance (Can’t Wear
Armour, -40%) [3/level]. However, if they have a total of more than four levels, they also must take a level of Basic Move -1 [-5].


And last but not least some comments and questions:

- Since DnD often gives strange ST modifers to its creatures I calculated the ST modifiers from the creatures weight where possible.

- The lack of disadvantages is intentional. If you really want to play an ugly, bloodlusty, stinking bastard you still can (using personal disadvantages), but you don't have to. (Should I remove the Cowardice disadvantages from the templates also?)

- What is Charisma (only on Gnolls) worth?

- What are the Planetouched DRs worth? (edit: I let the resistance to 3 elements count as a single very common attack form.) Oh, and is Eberron a high mana world or not? If it is, the Planetouched don't need Magery 0 to cast their spells.

- Do you have other comments, critique or suggestions?

Re: Eberron - anyone has a conversion?
 

Probably sorceres also have Reawakened, because they don't learn spell in the usual way.

@Fleck: very nice templates!

Re: Eberron - anyone has a conversion?
 

I just noticed something:
Each level of Extended Lifespan doubles the creatures lifespan. So giving dwarves Extended Lifespan 4 makes them live 16 times longer than humans. Shouldn't that be Extended Lifespan 2 [4] instead?

Same here, shouldn't that be Extended Lifespan 3 [6]?

And finally the Gnomes. Extended Lifespan 2 [4]?


Okay, enough nitpicking. :)
Here are some more Templates:

Armand (111 points)
Attribute Modifiers: +3 DX [60], +3 HT [30], -1 SM
Secondary Characteristic Modifiers: -2 Basic Move [-10]
Advantages: Armand Talent 1 (Immovable Stance, Survival) [5], Claws (Sharp Claws) [5], DR 1 [5], Dark Vision [25]

Perks: Fur [1]
Disadvantages: Reduced Arm Strength (-10 Arm Strength) [-45], Social Stigma (Second-Class Citizen) [-5]

Yeah I know, Reduced Arm Strength doesn't exist. So what? It does exactly what I want: Reducing the strength of the human part of the centaur to a more human level.

I have no idea how to recreate the Harpys Captivating Song ability in GURPS. Perhaps a heavily modified version of Mind Control?

Ok, I'm done. :-P
I started a new d20-GURPS conversion for this amazing setting after I won the handbook in a tournament (Best Player prize :-) ), but I stuck in to a problem: how to reproduce in GURPS the "auto stabilization" quality of a Warforged? I thought about No Blood, but a voice in my head tells me something's wrong... Help!
Please, of course. ^_^
