A sample conversion from D&D3.x to GURPS4

As an experiment I converted a 4-th level Orc Fighter from my D&D game to GURPS to see what it'd look like. I spent points on combat abilities and fitness rather than more hit points. I thought I'd post it so all can see, and in case it's of some use to someone.

I now think that I was wrong about points values - D&D3.x characters probably start as worth about 100 points, and gain around 30 a level.
