GURPS Monster Hunters 1 - preliminary data file. Anyone want to finish it?

Actually, minor note for the Sleuth's wildcards -- I don't think I'd do it as packages. It's just a bit too hard to do so. I'd do it as a normal choicelist that needs exactly 60 points and at least 2 items, then offer:

SK:Detective! #codes(upto 36pts, downto 24pts)
SK:Talker! #codes(upto 24pts, downto 12pts)
SK:Ten-Hut! #codes(upto 24pts, downto 12pts)

Then just put in the box instructions, "You MUST take Detective! and Talker!, but Ten-Hut! is optional." That covers all possible legal combinations from p. 17, unless I'm missing something.

(Technically, the user could deliberately ignore the instructions *and* the template rules and take Detective! and Ten-Hut! to make the box happy . . . but really, you can only try to idiot-proof things so much.)
