Unlike other conversions I have seen, mine makes use of advantages and suggests talents to tweak the attributes.

For example, STR->ST+Basic Lift (adj)+Lifting ST (adj)+Striking ST (adj)

I even included a step by step D&D Lich in GURPS conversion as well as did a write up of everybody's "favorite" Dragon Tiamat from AD&D1 and 2.

Just, don't try to use it with D&D4 as that thing was such a migraine that I found it easier to ignore it.

Max, I dont know if you noticed (I have also done this before) you replied to a thread two years old. Interesting as it is, not sure how much response you will get :) Probably should have just made a new thread to talk about your conversions if thats new content.

**Edit** I just saw that the thread was referenced in a new post, which makes me happy so I can post my reply there **
