Me and my group are goin to be converting our group into 3rd edition and we dont know where to start. I think when 3rd edition came out there was something which could help.

If anyone knows where I can look, be it a book or site they know of that would be great.

thx

Oct 13, 2003 8:59:26 Yes, there was a conversion kit, it still may be floating around this site or somewhere else on the web, but I would not suggest using it.

I looked it over when it first came out and the conclusion I came to was that it was not worth the effort. The editions are just too different. God forbid you have multi-class characters. With all the feats and skills, you might as well be making a new character, which is exactly what I would suggest.

I think everyone needs to start at 1st level, so everyone has a feel for the game before getting to the advanced character abilities.
