I found a really cool video the other day by "EasyGURPS na" doing a solo run through of a Basic Fantasy RPG module with low-power GURPS characters, this is really worth checking out because it gives you an overview of a "fast and loose" playstyle, and also some great conversion notes between BFRPG and GURPS in video #1 in the comments, to summarize:
- HP = HD x 10
- Attack Skill, Parry = 10 + Attack Bonus
- Dodge = 6 to 10, estimate
- Damage = As listed, plus special effects as needed
- DR = estimate based on armor
The videos go on for quite a number of them and are entertaining, check them out! It is fun to see a group of almost 0-level characters out of Dungeon Crawl Classics funnels using GURPS rules and the system just working incredibly smoothly and easily for a party of eight of them.
The HP calculation does seem a little high, but this is for a party of characters and likely needs things like damage multipliers applied. I could see 5 + (HD x 5) working as well if you want lower total hit points, but the creator of the video says his system feels right so I may go with his recommendations. With higher DR values, you may want to adjust hit points down to compensate.
What is really cool here is being able to take any BFRPG monster and convert it on the fly to GURPS or Dungeon Fantasy - that is hugely helpful.
