[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 7058170, member: 4937"] Those are for 5e. You specifically requested for 3.5e. Not only will those be done under different legal constraints, but converting 1e directly to 5e is easier than converting 1e directly to 3e, both because stat blocks are simpler and because the stat cap makes dealing with encounters of vastly different challenge ratings much easier for the would be converter. Besides that, the documents are behind a pay wall, which makes it difficult for me to evaluate their quality. But, if they are anything like the (surviving) conversion documents in EnWorld's 3e conversion library, they are little more than straight up copies from the edition appropriate SRD and as such, are therefore of very little use. Just because someone has claimed to have converted something, doesn't mean that the end result is very handy. We went through this discussion 10 years ago. It does no good, to, for example, provide the stat block for a 5e Flind if the relative power of a Flind has changed drastically between editions. It does little good to provide the stat block for a 3e orc, write the number (16) beside it, and assume that encounter plays exactly the same for a party of 4th level characters regardless of edition. It does little good to say the party encounters Orcus if in one edition Orcus is a reasonable foe for 17th level characters, in another for 50th level characters, and in another for 30th level characters. When I converted I3: Pyramid I ran into issues like the stat blocks were for 5HD creatures, but they had been 'minionized' by giving them 1-10 h.p. each. There was no literal conversion. It was pure judgment call. [/QUOTE]
