Nov 22, 2011 9:24:48 Specifically advice on level conversions. I'm new to 4th ed and GW as well. Has anyone worked out a rough D&D monster level conversion since GW characters have a level 10 limit but also seem to be a bit stronger then D&D characters of equal level? I would love to run a GW campaign using all sorts of great D&D monsters ("created by a Mad Wizard") but I don't want to over- or underwhelm the players. If this has been covered and I missed it then just let me know otherwise any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Heres to players facing a Beholder Ultimate Tyrant! mwuahahaha
Thanks

I'd keep D&D monster level pretty low to compensate, but I also tend to enjoy low-level games best so I like low-level monsters best as well.
