Shadowrun Races in Gurps

Because I need to write something, and the desire to do an SR -> GURPS conversion has been floating around in my brain for a while.

First, some explanation as to attribute levels: SR uses a 1-6 scale, with cybered or magical characters exceeding that on the high end. 3 is a typical score. I used Strength in both systems as a benchmark (SR's only lifting statistics seem to jibe well with the weights that GURPS considers "light encumbrance"), and assumed that the other stats followed the same progression (that is, a +1 to Body in SR gave the same relative boost to HT in GURPS that a +1 to Strenght would give) . When in doubt, I rounded up.
I also cheated a bit on the IQ stats; if I followed my own method, orcs and trolls would have basically been unplayably dumb. Instead, I gave them a selection of "dumb" mental disadvantages to choose from. This also adds some flexibility to character design, I feel: now, you can choose in what way your orc or troll is dim!

Humans, of course, are average, and have no racial template.
