Default Re: Need help converting DtD to GURPS

First, I have those download sites where you must wait for a countdown to end, then fill a capcha and finally find the link in the bloated page, before you can get the file. For large files, I understand it, but for small files like these? I use Dropbox to host them, and it works much better.

Another thing, don't convert mechanics, convert the idea behind the abilities, Takes Recharge, 15s is once per fight, 99.99% of the time. Only if it's a trick fight, where the characters must do something while infinite minions pour in, or one side is deliberately stalling, will an ability with a 15s recharge time get more than one use. Out of combat, it's still a pretty usable ability.

If you want help with conversions, I've found that the best is that you describe the abilities to convert in plain English, removing as many rules artifacts as possible. Once what an ability does, and what a role it plays is known, converting is usually simply.
