Default Re: Elder Scrolls Conversion to GURPS 4e (Help Please!)

I have been working on racial templates for an Elder Scrolls DF game, myself! I am curious what you might think about this alternate take. I generally went for a lower-cost interpretation of the races. Also, I am setting the game 150 years after the events of Skyrim; the Dwemer have since returned and are a playable race. I will give the players 10 points to spend on a racial template. If they choice a non-human template, they can pay for the difference via the discretionary advantage points in their professional template, with quirks, or with the method of overlap described in DF:3.

Breton [10]

*Limited Use and Maximum Duration are not RAW compatible, but without turning this into an Innate Attack, I had trouble finding a way to reduce the duration. Selective Area was added so that the Terror affects enemies, and not allies.

Languages:
The common language of Tamriel is Cyrodilic. All players can speak, read and write this language at a native level for 0 points. Some Barbarians select an optional disadvantage which makes them illiterate for [-3] points.

There are other racial languages which are fairly common. Players who choose a non-human racial template can add that race's language at a native level for free. Humans can add a language from this list for free, in addition to their native Cyrodilic (but not from the scholarly languages further down). Barbarians who are illiterate in Cyrodilic are also illiterate in a second language.

Orcish
Altmeris
Bosmeris
Dunmeris
Dwemeris
Ta'agra (Kajiit language)
Jel (Argonian language)

Scholarly characters have on their template the option to add additional languages. They may choose any of the above or select from the following list:

Pyandonean (Sea Elf language)
Falmer (language of the lost Snow Elves)
Aldmeris (Ancient Elven root language)
Ayleidoon (language of the lost Wild Elves)
Nedic (an ancient precusor to Cyrodilic)
Yoku (ancient language of the ancestors of the Redguards)
Tinvaak (Dragon language)

Any type of character can learn any of these languages by spending points acquired through Quirks.
