Forgot to add the rule changes related to Healing Word and surgeless healing. Now it is in the Conversion Guide. 4.5 Edition Conversion Guide /Myrhdraak

CONVERSION GUIDE I think I have something solid enough to start trying out at my own game table. In order for others who are interested to try to use the same game changes to make it easier to use the 5th Edition material that is being produced and apply it to your own 4th Edition setting, I...

It is not going to be interesting! That is the point of this exercise. As we concluded earlier - 4th Edition is designed to make every encounter interesting and tactical, potentially leading to 5 x 2 hours playing time to get through an adventuring day. If that is how you like to do it - do it...

TESTING THE TABLE FOR ENCOUNTER DESIGN - 18th Level Let's see how 18th level work out as well. 18th Level Party Encounter We start with a Single Encounter against five 18th Level Monsters. Encounter XP budget is 33,500 XP, we get five 8th level monsters worth 6,700 XP each. Looking at the...

For each one their own dream of paradise! It will be interesting to see in game play, I intend to implement and try it out, but first I will write down a conversion guidline for those who want to try it out.

Thank you ;-)

I started out a conversion of Pathfinder "Reign of Winter" advententure path just when the 5th Edition transition started. Never really finished, but it was quite fun. You learn a lot in that process, and it is very creative doing the conversion of monsters. Have only had a chance to play a...

TESTING THE TABLE FOR ENCOUNTER DESIGN So in order to test the table and the numbers behind it we can try to design an encounter using the table. I will start with an 8th level example with 5 players (just to try something else than 6, 16 and 26th we tried Before) 8th Level Party Encounter We...

XP CURVE Next step is to look at the XP curve with this new monster damage curve. As can be expected it changes quite a lot in the higher end. XP Tables The actual encounter planning, monster XP and PC level progression will change to the following to fit the new damage output. The standard...

DAMAGE CURVE So what did I do to the damage curve to get rid of the Epic bump and the Paragon vale? Well, I had to apply a curve that worked in the opposite direction. I think we are quite close to the original 4th Edition damage output in Heroic level, but we then increase it drastically in...

FLAT CHALLENGE CURVE? So next step I did was trying to go back to the new healing values and applying them to the analysis to see how the HS value looked like by the end of the Adventuring Day. I had to do some changes to the damage curve in order to reach the kind of "flattish" End of Day...

Listening to AbdulAlhazred's advice I took away some Healing Powers to simulate some "average healing" in the party. I then created graphs for this "new" healing capability to visualize the party's healing capability per encounter, depending on if you run a single, double or triple encounter...
