I started playing AD&D way back in 1980, then eventually migrated to 2e, passed 3e, and went to 3.5e. For the most part beloved characters converted from one edition to the next.The most difficult thing was that old-style multi-class characters did not convert well. Anyone who started with AD&D...

All the characters would be chaotic evil, and in the end they would defeat Bahamut and the Princesses of Elemental Good.

Yeah, we still use some stuff from Complete Arcane and Complete Divine. We run two campaign worlds with multiple DMs - Forgotten Realms on the outside of a hollow sphere, and an enhanced version of our own world on the inside of the sphere. Or is it the other way around? Golorion never did...

The significant difference I noted regarding character creation; is that in 3.5e the prestige classes were really beneficial, not for the most part not at all in Pathfinder.

Things to consider... 1) Are you a rules lawyer and need every book for proper interpretation, or do you prefer to fill in the gaps by winging it with 3.5e based interpretations? 2) Do you feel comfortable with adopting or creating a campaign setting, or do you prefer to go with a play-ready...

My theosophist cleric is 11th level, and is a scholar of the undead. My alignment is lawful neutral and I principally channel positive energy, but do have versatile channel. Assuming that I have acquire the knowledge, can a cleric become a lich? Can my phylactery be a structure rather than a...

Thanks for the suggestions, I will pass them along! The player is just joining the game after another had to drop out, and he is new to 5e. He started as fighter 2 / cleric 3, but we will make some changes for next game. The previous week the seven players (at level 4) had met the Feathergale...

The player wanted to be more of a CN outcast.

You can just use d6s, or you can use d4s+1, or you can use d8s-1 (stats range from 0 to 21). Back in my 3.5 days, I gave the option to use 4d6 (drop lowest) or 2d6+1d8 (no drop).

One of my players wanted to run a fighter/cleric multi-class, but we really did not like how those to classes combine. I suggested that we try an eldritch knight, but with the cleric spell list. Does this seem reasonable, and if so which companion abilities would you suggest for third, seventh...

Not in low magic fifth edition, the character may not use it every level. Especially in HotDQ. Too much of my gnome/wizard class/race abilities against magic were wasted in that module.

I with you on that. We're using the 3.5e Forgotten Realms setting book for our campaigns (no other canon), and really don't need a 5e book.

I intend to let players attune to one item per proficiency bonus.

In my opinion, I don't believe that third level characters are ready to hit the keeps yes. I ran seven characters through some scenarios modified from those in the book before they set out at fourth level.

I'm concerned that even the easiest of the four haunted keeps is a bit much for my seven third level characters. They did some pre-adventuring in some of the first and second level scenarios, which were tailored to their backgrounds and beefed up a bit. I thought that I would do earth first, but...

OK, I'll go with Find familiar and Speak with Animals.

Cantrips: Mending, Minor Illusion, Prestidigitation Level 1: Find familiar, Speak with Animals Level 2: Lesser Restoration Although Vicious Mockery would be cool if it could be incorporated into internet posts!

An experienced DM knows what is appropriate, so do the players. If you have to look at a chart, you are doing it wrong.

Aarakocra are a delicacy to many races, they are often hunted as food. In the opening scene of PotA the six characters will walk past three hunters that are cooking an aarakocra to underscore this point to the two bird characters, to see how they will react (we start next Tuesday).
