D&D Iconics Converted

Ashrem Bayle · 05-04-2007, 04:30 PM

So I'm about to introduce one of my gaming groups to the wonders of GURPS. To do this, and to help them compare and contrast between D&D, I'm converting some of the iconic D&D characters to GURPS and running them through a converted adventure (probably the Sunless Citadelin the Eberron campaign setting. (And being relatively new to GURPS myself, this is good practice for me.)

That said, I thought some of you might enjoy my conversions. Note, these are not direct conversions. I did not try to make them very faithful to D&D rules. For example, instead of giving Hennet the sorcerer a conversion of magic missle, I gave him an Advantage called "Force Bolt" that allows him to throw bolts of force.

So it's similar to D&D's Magic Missle in flavor and effect, but it better fits my vision of the sort of power a sorcerer would have.

Anyway, here are the two I've finished:

Regdar, the Human Fighter
Hennet, the Human Sorcerer
