Some characters I truely loved, but that were well into epic, got filed away, since there wasn't the material available for epic play. My booklet is long since gone, but I want to dig the characters out and update them, since our campaign is now powerful enough that these retired heroes won't unbalance things. Does anyone know if the conversion guide is on the web anywhere?

Edit: the link is to the 3.5 update. I believe the 2e to 3e conversion document is no longer on the website. If your old character was an epic level ranger, build an epic level ranger. Keep the same preferred weapons and armor. Build the rest from concept.
