Are there guidelines out there somewhere for converting NPC stat blocks from 2e to 3e?
Thanks...

Yes it is, and it's stocked on Nyt web site.
Thanks for the help.

But I was wondering if there was a more precise or "true" method for converting... Are there guidelines out there somewhere for converting NPC stat blocks from 2e to 3e? Thanks... |
| #2dawnstealerMay 10, 2004 11:24:41 | My votes to just create the characters from scratch. Even in 2e, that's what I did, keeping only the names and (generally) classes. A little more customized to your campaign, then. |
| #3xlorepdarkhelm_dupMay 10, 2004 11:28:19 | Umm yea..... it was a booklet released by WotC back when 3e came out, that was for converting from 2e - 3e. However, I believe someone was converting (or had converted) many of the NPC's from the adventure modules to 3/3.5e. I bet they are on Grummore's list of Dark Sun website links. |

| #6superpriestMay 10, 2004 13:19:33 | As someone said, you definitely want to do this from scratch (assuming Kamelion hasn't done it for you). |
| #7zombiegleemaxMay 10, 2004 13:38:20 | I've enjoyed writing them from scratch so far, but it's a lot of work. Where's this website with the converted NPCs? Thanks for the help. |
| #8xlorepdarkhelm_dupMay 10, 2004 13:46:09 | crimsonsun.org. Actually, Grummore's got the list of links on his site for pretty much all of the Dark Sun websites out there... |
| #9KamelionMay 10, 2004 17:17:26 | I got through Freedom with Elonarc's excellent assistance and started on Arcane Shadows next. I got a bit stalled, what with ToA and stuff but this thread makes for a good kick in the complacency - I'll get bizzy with some more and if anyone has any notes then I say let's share - we'll get through them sooner ;) |
| #10nytcrawlrMay 10, 2004 18:14:06 | I was helping by doing Black Spine, maybe I should kick myself and get back to those. |
| #11elonarcMay 11, 2004 5:42:26 | Just send me copies of what you have done so far, I'll look through it. Yes, I am a rules freak. |
