Steal away: modify, mutilate, use whole cloth, whatever.

Anyway, derail aside, the lower-level DF is an excellent notion. 250-point characters always feel to me like about what 4th- to 7th level AD&D characters did. Good for delving, but not that good for heroes at the beginning of their career, which can also be fun. |

Re: Dungeon Fantasy on the cheap...
I've just updated the article and data file to include the Mystic Knight template, based largely but not wholly on Bruno's version. The zip file for GCA also includes the new GURPS Dungeon Fantasy - Pyramid.gdf file which is where I have put the two current templates from Pyramid and plan to place any further DF related goodness from Pyramid in the future.
Also just uploaded a PDF Printable Version of the article.

I also just updated the webpage (but not the PDF) with preliminary versions of the 4 templates from DF9: Summoners. I haven't thoroughly checked them yet, nor have I added them to the GCA data file; in the past, I usually create the GCA template, then run it to check my changes, and I'll probably do that again this time. At some point in the coming week I'll probably get the data file updated, however I welcome any input on these templates. Because of the unique design of these templates the cut-downs were considerably harder. They are considerably more advantage heavy, especially the Shaman, which required some different design thoughts than most of the other templates.

Re: Dungeon Fantasy on the cheap...
I've now updated the article, PDF, and GCA4 data file with everything you need to create Summoners on the Cheap. See the first post for links.

This brings up another issue--how much of the character's power is tied to the world rather than to themselves? When I converted Lina Inverse I found it saner to treat her spells per the Ritual Magic system then build them piecemeal and this makes her only 421 points. If you go back to the DMG1 it is made quite clear that spell power does not come from the mage but rather from the Inner and Outer Planes. Cut that off (as in Q1 Queen of the Demonweb Pits or Dragon 100's "City Beyond the Gate") and most classes are in a world of hurt: magical abilities will work poorly if at all and spells are majorly crippled or worse work in strange and bizarre ways. |

Re: Dungeon Fantasy on the cheap...
Hero System makes do with a single 3d6 roll. I think it's 11+offence bonus-defence bonus, and if you're lower than or equal to, it's a hit.
