Pyramid #3/72: Alternate Dungeons

Sure you can 'convert', but it's not all plain sailing:

What does the [10] point package for 'Warrior Training' contain?
The Heroic Flaws are effectively new [-10] point disadvantages which should really be 'converted; - and they use a DP mechanic instead of SC's
Using standard skills isn't really going to work very well from a full on WC starting point.
I don't see Magical Colleges! converting nicely either - or anyone actually wanting to - not that I think WC colleges should replace the standard spells.
Shapeshifting (Alternate Form) won't easily fit into the Major/Minor Abilities model.

The model has its place, but in my opinion it should not become the 'standard' model for GURPS as it loses too much.

I still think Templates are simpler and quicker.
