    That would be utterly pointless. When converting from abn earlier edition don'ty you get to take advantage of the new class features? So..a direct number conversion would be bull as it doesn'ty reflect the actual capabilities of the convereted character. Pit characters against the same monster...

    My player start with careful plans and then run around in circles in a series of bizzare manuvers. I got to see how another DM would deal with them (and me ) at a tournmanet a while back: at one point there were three DMs (outy of 11) trying to deal with our small group of four that had...
