Subject: EPT to GURPS translation
Translation from Empire of the Petal Throne to GURPS (3rd ed.)
Experience
Since starting characters in GURPS have 100 points, a 1st
level EPT PC starts with that amount. But a "normal" person
in GURPS is 25 points, so 1st level EPT NPCs start at that
number of points. The following table shows the points given
for various EPT levels:
EPT GURPS PC GURPS NPC
Level Points Points
____________________________
1 100 25
2 105 30 (+5)
3 110 35
4 115 40
5 120 45
6 125 50
7 130 55
8 140 65 (+10)
9 150 75
10 160 85
...
Players should design their characters at 100 points and
then spend the extra points as if they received them during
play. This way any increases in the basic attributes will
cost double and they won't be able to take 150 points of
physical advantages.
Attributes
The following table shows the equivalent EPT Basic Talents
and GURPS Attributes:
EPT Basic Talent GURPS Attribute
--------------------------------------
Strength _ ST
Dexterity _ DX
Intelligence _ IQ
Constitution _ HT
Since Empire of the Petal Throne uses randomly rolled Basic
Talents, the levels of GURPS ST, DX, IQ and HT given below
are guidelines, and therefore optional. Character points
must still be spent normally. Since there are no attributes
in GURPS for Comeliness and Psychic Ability, these EPT
attributes translate into the GURPS Appearance
advantages/disadvantages and Magery, respectively (see
tables below).
When choosing basic attributes for the converted character
keep the relative ratios approximately the same. If the
character's Strength was higher than his Intelligence as a
EPT character it should be higher as a GURPS character as
well. The primary idea is to capture the same feeling in
the character. The following tables work well as numbers
with which to start. Adjust them as needed.

96-00 Highly Psychic Magery 3
Using the above, a 6th level Str 93, Dex 77, Int 35, Con 65,
Psy 39, Com 45 EPT warrior might be ST 15, DX 13, IQ 9, HT
12 in GURPS with no Magery and Average appearance. This
would cost 100 character points which would require the
character to take some disadvantages to afford advantages
and skills. Once the initial design is done, award the
extra 25 points for having been a 6th level EPT character.
Money
The various coinage in EPT and GURPS breaks down as follows:
EPT Money => 400 copper Qirgal = 20 silver Hlash = 1 gold Kaitar.
GURPS Money => 100 copper = $20 = 1 gold.
Convert EPT money into silver Hlash, then Hlash = GURPS $.
GURPS wealth advantages and disadvantages will need to be
taken, if starting wealth (including possessions) is above
or below $1000. See Wealth table below:
EPT Wealth GURPS Wealth
____________________________
0-199 SP Dead Broke
200-499 SP Poor
500-999 SP Struggling
1000-1999 SP Average
2000-4999 SP Comfortable
5000-19999 SP Wealthy
20K-99K SP Very Wealthy
>=100K SP Filthy Rich
Skills
Converting skills is relatively easy. Pick the GURPS
equivalents of the desired EPT skills and add a few more
from the GURPS list. Some of the EPT skills are multiple
skills in GURPS (EPT assassin-spy-tracker becomes Stealth,
Tracking, Shadowing, Poison, etc.).

AA GURPS Tekumel Characters
(Copyright 1991 by Brett Slocum. All rights reserved.)
Create characters for Tekumel using the <BI>Basic Set<M> and <BI>GURPS
Magic<M>. 100-point characters are suggested for the average campaign with a
general limit of 40 points of disadvantages and 5 quirks.
Tekumel can be a very dangerous place, so some GMs may desire a Cinematic
campaign with 150 or even 200 point characters.
CC Height and Weight Tables
Since there are many races on Tekumel, some of which do not easily fit into the
human height and weight tables, two additional height and weight tables are
provided below: Hlaka and Pe Choi. Also, treat humans as pre-19th century
humans, and subtract 3" from average height. Weight is always determined
<MI>after<M> height. Some races base their height and weight from the human
table. Below is a table that summarizes the height and weight modifiers for all these
races.

CC Advantages
DD Magic Aptitude see p. B21
Magic requires Magical Aptitude and an IQ of at least 10. Those with IQ 6+ can
use magico-technological devices, such as Eyes, but cannot cast spells.
DD Military Rank 5 points/level
The Five Empires keep highly organized standing armies, so legion members
need Military Rank

CC New Advantages
[intro text]
DD Mana Damper varies
The person with this advantage affects their own use of magic, as well those
nearby. The base level of this advantage effectively lowers the mana level in hex
they occupy by one level and costs 10 points. Limitation: Touch Only - 1/2 cost.
Enhancements: Extended Range - cost x radius (maximum 3 hex radius); Additional
Mana Reduction - cost x number of Mana levels reduced. Example: a Mana
Suppressor who reduces the Mana Level by 2 levels (Normal Mana to No Mana) at
a radius of 2 hexes would cost 40 points (10 points x 2 hexes x 2 levels). Magic
that originates outside of this range acts normally on those within the dampening
effect.
DD Religious Rank 5 points/level
The character is a priest or priestess in the hierarchy of one of the temples, or a
shaman of one of the various primitive tribes. The priesthood has a number of
advantages that the laity lack, including +1 reaction for Reputation among their co-
religionists and others who respect their faith. He or she will be addressed by a title
-- [examples go here] -- and can perform certain rituals and ceremonies as
[examples go here]. Also, priests are at an advantage when calling on their deity for
divine intervention.

CC Disadvantages
[intro]
DD Intolerance
Intolerance is rampant in the societies of Tekumel.
Religious, social, racial, national, class intolerance are possible.
DD Primitive
This disadvantage is appropriate for tribal regions, such as Tsolei, M'morcha
and Nmartusha, Nmarchta, Nyemesel Isles, etc.
CC New Disadvantages
DD Anti-Charisma -5 per -1
Acts in much the same way as Charisma, except with the opposite effect. Anti-
charisma is kind of like an odious personal habit without any particular reason for
people not liking you. Something about the character's very essence repeals people.
People with this disadvantage tend to be social outcasts, hermits, etc. This effect
crosses racial and species boundaries.
BB Skills
Most skills appropriate to TL3 may be chosen, though there are some
exceptions, which will be noted in the skills section.
DD Disallowed TL3 Skills
Heraldry
Hypnosis
Lasso
Since there are no riding animals equivalent to horses, both Lance and Riding
skills cannot be learned.
DD Survival (Arctic)
Only characters from the very far north, such as Lorun, can take this skill.
DD Beam Weapons
Some beam weapons are available as ancient artifacts on Tekumel, but due to
limited numbers of charges and limited opportunities to practice, Beam Weapons
can only be taken at default.

BB Economics, Jobs and Wealth
Standard starting wealth for a Tekumeli character is $1,000. This includes all
possessions, not just cash. Any character who is not a true wanderer (bandit,
outcast, professional duellist, etc.) should spend no more than 20% of his wealth
on movable goods(weapons, armor, clothing, etc.). The rest should be tied up in
houses, rentals, investments, etc. Yearly cost of living varies with Status, and also
according to the number of dependents and employees a character has. An NPC
Patron, such as a noble lord or a temple, counts as an employer, and will look after
the character's living, as well as giving gifts from time to time for outstanding
service. The same applies to a PC who has employees; if they become dissatisfied
with his leadership, they may seek another patron.

Subject: Tekumel animals habitats
Here is what I generated for my GURPS conversions. These habitats
correspond to those given in the GURPS Bestiary and Fantasy Bestiary.
I added the differentiation between "Mountains, foothills" and
"Mountains, peaks". There is also the "Artic" designation that I
left off, because, of course, very few places on Tekumel are artic.
As for encounter tables, I don't use them, so I didn't include any.

Subject: Combining GURPS and the S&G magic system
A friend of mine developed this system for using the S&G magic
system with GURPS characters. I don't necessarily agree with
some specifics of his system, but the general idea is good.
This way you can use all the same, wonderful spells from S&G
Player's Book, and not have to try to translate each spell to
GURPS (a slow task I assure you from experience).
Using the S&G magic system with GURPS
by John Finsrud
In the Skill Levels and Purchasable Skills table, replace
the S&G skill level with 5 spell points per level (e.g.
skill level 2 is equal to 6-10 spell points, skill level
16+ is equal to 76+ spell points).
On the Spell Casting Cost table, use the same conversion for skill level
to spell points. Divide all fatigue costs in the table by 5.
Example: a G5 ritual spell costs a skill level 8 mage 55 power points.
This translates to a cost of 11 fatigue for a mage with 41-45 spell
points.
He calculates Psychic Power Points = IQ + HT + Psychic Ability.
Psychic Ability is a new attribute, starting at 10, and bought
normally.
To learn spells, the following table is used:
Spell Difficulty Table
Spell
Level Universal Generic Temple
1 ME ME ME
2 ME ME MA
3 ME MA MA
4 MA MA MA
5 MA MA MA
6 MA MA MH
7 MH MH MH
8 MH MH MH
9 MH MH MH
10 MH MVH MVH
Nice little conversion.
I'd just use Magery and not the Psychic Ability attribute.
Then add Magery * 5 points to Power Points. I would also
slightly change the Difficulty table. I'd say all Level
10 and T9 spells are MVH, and T1 spells are MA. Something
like this:
Spell Difficulty Table
Spell
Level Universal Generic Temple
1 ME ME MA
2 ME ME MA
3 ME MA MA
4 MA MA MA
5 MA MA MH
6 MA MH MH
7 MH MH MH
8 MH MH MVH
9 MH MVH MVH
10 MVH MVH MVH
If you try this out, let me know how it works, and give me any
suggestions you might have. -- Brett
