Everything translates to GURPS pretty well. I didn't give them long legs in addition to long arms because that felt kind of like overkill, it increased their size modifier to +2. I did however increases their base move to simulate the long legged stride of the Sereth. They also lost the Pathfinder bonus against being disarmed because they have those extra fingers and joints to wrap around hilts and whatnot. I haven't seen rules for disarming yet in GURPS, so I need to get a look at that before I can find an appropriate advantage, so this template may change once I do.
