Occupational Template: Soulknife

Occupational Template: Soulknife

Another D&D occupational template - the soulknife.

Occupational Template: Artificer

Occupational Template: Artificer

D&D artifiers are very different from the artificer found in GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 4: Sages. In D&D, they are spellcasters that are adept at crafting and using magic items. Here's how I adapted artificer spellcasting for my games. In addition, I wrote up a 150-point occupation template.

Occupational Template: Hexblade

Occupational Template: Hexblade

Another D&D class-turned-template. It was difficult to stuff everything in - I guess, a proper hexblade would be at least a 200-point character.

Occupational Template: Shadowcaster

Occupational Template: Shadowcaster

An occupational template of a shadow magic user. Basically, a dexterity-based wizard.

Occupational Template: Psychic Warrior

Occupational Template: Psychic Warrior

Another 150-point occupational template based on the eponymous D&D class. Something between the fighter, psion, and a little bit of the monk.

Occupational Template: Psion

Occupational Template: Psion

It's been a while. Here's a 150-point template based on the mentalist from GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 14: Psi but reworked to incorporate non-dungeoneering traits and other new stuff, including new disadvantages from GURPS Psis.

Occupational Template: Ninja

Occupational Template: Ninja

Another conversion of a class from the Complete Adventurer. This template was based on the ninja templates from DF12 and GURPS Japan, with a lot of options added.

Occupational Template: Scout

Occupational Template: Scout

Complete Adventurer for D&D 3.5 introduced a new class - the scout. DF1 already has a scout template, so let's just shrink it down to 150 points and add some more options to make it less DF-y.

Occupational Template: Swashbuckler

Occupational Template: Swashbuckler

This is my take on converting the swashbuckler class from Complete Warrior to a GURPS occupational template. Based on the swashbuckler template from DF1, downgraded, and expanded with extra options not related to dungeoneering.

Occupational Template: Samurai

Occupational Template: Samurai

This is my take on converting the samurai class from Complete Warrior into a 150-point occupational template. Didn't even have to convert any abilities, as they all are covered either by esoteric skills or perks.

Occupational Template: Wu Jen

Occupational Template: Wu Jen

And here we have a variant wizard - the wu jen class from Complete Arcane. I'm done with that book for now.

Occupational Template: Warmage

Occupational Template: Warmage

And here we have another 150-point occupational template based on the warmage class from Complete Arcane.

Occupational Template: Warlock

Occupational Template: Warlock

Warlock was a very popular class in D&D, but I was never a fan of how it failed to represent its flavor in its mechanics. I've already described how I would make a warlock in GURPS in another post, but let's also make an occupational template for him.

Occupational Template: Arcane Archer

Occupational Template: Arcane Archer

This is a combination of the ranger template and the eldritch knight template from Pyramid #3-13. I am content with the result, the imbuements work perfectly for the arcane archer.

Occupational Template: Knight of the Weave

Occupational Template: Knight of the Weave

Basically, this is slightly reskinned paladin that worships the Weave itself and has access to Meta and Healing spells.

Occupational Template: Incantatrix

Occupational Template: Incantatrix

Here's the thing - there's two version of this prestige class in D&D. One from Magic of Faerun (D&D 3.0) is very different from the one from Player's Guide to Faerun (D&D 3.5). In this template, I'm trying to combine them both. Some of their abilities are well represented by generic meta-spells in GURPS, so there's no need for conversion. Male form is "incantatar". Overall, this is a more specialized variation of the wizard template.

Occupational Template: Jordain Vizier

Occupational Template: Jordain Vizier

Another occupational template by request. This one in interesting, but weird. It's something between a monk and a spy/scholar that serves as an advisor to a wizard, but himself not only cannot cast any spells, but also has some anti-magic abilities. Not a combat character.

Occupational Template: Blood Mage

Occupational Template: Blood Mage

A template for a sacrificial spellcaster.

Occupational Template: Halruaan Magehound

Occupational Template: Halruaan Magehound

Halruaan magehounds are magical law enforcement in the Forgotten Realms setting. Basically, they are anti-mage mages. Mostly based on the wizard template with some parts taken from the DF Mage-Slayer template.

Occupational Template: Night Mask Deathbringer

 Occupational Template: Night Mask Deathbringer

I do not have in-depth knowledge of Forgotten Realms lore, but I do have all the books. Night Masks are an organisation ruled by vampire lords that operate in the city of Westgate. Deathbringers are their enforcers of higher rank than the normal members. They undergo a horrific ritual that often scars them mentally, but grants them some supernatural powers of the undead. Their signature ability - the blood bond is not part of the template due to being very expensive, but is presented as a power-up.
