The Definite d20/D&D Conversion thread

DF15 already provides for lower level adventurers (I see the 125 point templates as roughly equivalent to first level adventurers while the 62 point ones are equivalent to 0 level ones or first level npc classes).

Basically, I want to be able to play in D&D worlds, using the same races and generally using all sorts of D&D elements... but at the same time I don't want to be as constrained as in the D&D system. Or as in Dungeon Fantasy, for that matter.

D&D has had some awesome material over the years, but it was always constrained by its level/class system, and plenty of character concepts were extremely hard or even impossible to implement on the system - and that's where the strength of GURPS are. So while it should be perfectly possible to use the Dungeon Fantasy templates with this conversion, I don't want the conversion to be built around it. I want to be able to use the D&D settings and maintain their general feel without needing to replicate the D&D rules.

I hope I am making sense here...
