[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 7327761, member: 2012"] That's what i figured, i just wanted to point out some key differences (for me as well as you). :p See, I'd would prefer not to re-engine the classes. That would take a lot of time. For the classes that have already been done in the Starfarer's Companion, I will likely hold off working on too much until I have it. (Hopefully by the weekend. No money right now.) However, I do know that some of the converted spellcasting classes in that book were reworked to go all the way to 9th-level, which doesn't really fit well with what's in the core rules. Thus, my idea of using those higher level spell slots as mana points instead. Another option would to be to follow the rule for casting the [I]wish[/I] spell under Fuse Spells on p. 120 of the SFCR. The character spends 2 resolve points to combine two 6th-level spell slots to cast [I]wish[/I], which is considered a 9th-level spell, but without an official spell level (see in the Magic and Spells chapter, p. 385). It's spell level is listed as a "–". So, I'm thinking that a legacy spellcasting PC can spend 1 Resolve Point to combine two 4th- or 5th-level spell slots to cast 7th- and 8th-level PF spells respectively. The casting of 9th-level spells would exactly like with the [I]wish[/I] spell. It would be a simple solution and would balance the PF legacy classes more with the SF classes. This would probably be the best option for Imperial characters (and would make my life a whole lot easier). Outlands PCs could/would have the mana points with the ability to cast more high level spells but wouldn't be as well versed in technology or 'Imperial' spells. Perhaps for fetchling, you get to choose a # of the abilities for your PC. I'll have to take a closer look at that race. And yes, all the races are less powerful, it seems. Perhaps to balance with the idea of themes. When you convert to SF, it might be best if you pick the Themeless option unless you have an idea for a custom theme you want to build. [/QUOTE]
