I guess my real question would be why even convert most things? 2e vs 1e is really not much difference at all. Spell lists change a tiny bit here and there, you have some different spell using classes like priests and specialists, but the 2e spells themselves work OK in 1e so no real need to force those characters into the 1e mold at all. Like I say, we ran 2e characters in my campaign for several years and pretty much the whole setting and various encounters etc were still all the old 1e stuff. Higher level monsters did get a bunch tougher, but they didn't really use rules that were incompatible.Even thieves aren't really incompatible between the editions, a 2e thief just has different chances of doing this or that. Fighters get a bigger hit die and the ability to specialize in weapons, so they get a bit more powerful but you can run a 2e fighter in a 1e game fine, there's nothing he can do that the 1e rules won't cover.Honestly, in all the time we played 2e I never did find anything it really did that was much different from 1e. It just beefed up some classes a bit, added a bunch of options to spell caster builds and then kits added in a bunch of slightly wierd stuff which could all have been added to 1e just as easily. Anyway, sorry for getting so OT. I think its interesting to use different rules for something like the feywild. It would be a lot of work to go back to the old style rules for it, but in theory it sounds like fun.</blockquote>
