GURPS Black Ops to 4th edition

oma · 05-26-2011, 02:33 PM

Upon reading templates in Black Ops for Delta Force soldier, the template is 185pts. When making the same character in 4th ed, he is way over 200pts. A lot of this stems from the higher point cost of DX and IQ in 4th edition and the fact that 3rd edition would use 1/2 points for skills.

Given this, what would you do? Make it a higher cost template? Pare it down to less skills or attributes? I would think that lowering attributes would be better than eliminating the skills. Of course, in my game I also use the variant separating WILL and PER from IQ, so that inflates my cost even more.

Your ideas from converting 3rd to 4th and point differences.
