Old-School D&D style game

[Carlos]

I really love Dungeon Fantasy. Seriously, I have not enough words to say how much I love it.

My only "complain", however, is that unarmed martial arts don't receive enough love, despite the fact that not only D&D but many other games presents monks that use his bare hands in their whacking way. I may be wrong, but at least for what I recall from my PMs/posts to Kromms about unarmed martial artists, it seems he thinks that such character is a foolish way to be a martial artists. Again, I may be wrong.

I also wish to see how good would be a DF wizard using Ritual Path Magic. I never had the chance to play using that system and I wonder how good is RPM to a setting where magic is everywhere. I really would love to try one day. The only thing is that RPG seems much more complicated (and therefore, less newbie-friend) than the standard magic system. Perhaps "sophisticated" would be a better word.

Just wondering... If those DF templates would be equivalent to level 5th or 7th to D&D, what would be a 1st level D&D character to GURPS? 50 points??? How would you create a monk with that?

A level 20 D&D character would be a 1000 cp GURPS character? Geez, I can't even imagine how would be Elminster in GURPS.

That's why there are those templates on Dungeon Fantasy 1. Kromm created them just to make things eaiser. Players just need to customize their characters spending some few points and everything is done. It's not that hard.
