Default Re: Converting D&D to GURPS: Combat Comparison

I'd go with 50 points + 50 points/level, so that level 7 is 400, level 8 is 450, and level 30 is 1,550. GURPS assumes a basic level of human capability (50 points is a competent non-adventuring Joe) that's considerably higher than what D&D assumes, whence the offset. Some folks prefer 25 points/level, but I don't think that adequately reflects details like 10th-level PCs being literally 10 times harder to kill than 1st-level ones, even when tied to a rock naked and without magical powers.
