Since DF uses templates, and there are scads of templates and variations to choose from, it's easy to pick a template and then wade in.

With TFT you can also have a complex character with a rich history and backstory, just less crunchy.

There is a fan created "dungeon fantasy on the cheap" I think it's called that provides a list of how to lower most of the templates + a sjgame product called henchmen that I use to god effect to create lower level heroes
