Converting Pathfinder Characters

[Boomerang]

I played a cleric from level 1 through to 20 on the Way of the Wicked adventure path. That character had close to standard wealth by level and was a fairly standard 20 buy for attributes. I optimised the character a little, just enough to be competent enough to survive the campaign without dying (although I had a number of close calls).

That character was probably roughly equivalent to 50 points per level in gurps terms. I think a standard core rulebook fighter with a 15 buy would be more like 30-40 points per level depending on the degree of optimisation. A Pathfinder wizard with maximum cheese would be more like 80-100 points per level. If you are adding mythic rules on top you are probably looking at another 50+ gurps points per mythic tier.

Really? My experience with APs is that the PCs usually have close to double what they are supposed to have. I often wonder if I play with people who are just extra efficient at looting, or what?

Yes, I think I am unusual in that regard. I don't like the Christmas tree effect that is so prevalent in Pathfinder. I definitely don't make full use of crafting feats to get magic items more cheaply. I have even had characters with no interest in treasure.
