Arabian Adventures?

[Skyfire]

Greetings all,

I'm looking for a 3.5 (or 3.0) conversion for the 2E campaign setting 'Arabian Adventures'. Can anyone point me toward some info?

Thanks in advance

Arabian Adventures

Decent...but the class conversions need a little more flavor. But a good starting point.

Dragon 315 had a conversion of the Shair (sp?) wizard class.

The latest Dragon (#321) has PrC's of Mamluk, Corsair, and Barber. Forgot what the fourth one was though.

There are two separate PDF documents floating around that provide a '3e conversion' of Arabian Adventures.

One is linked above, I suppose.

I don't remember the site of the other one, but you can find links to both PDFs here:

Thanks a mil!!

Thank you all very much. I hope to get an AA game going as a side project soon.

Again thanks!!!

There used to be an online attempt at creating a 3.0 Al Qadim, but I think it fell to the wayside. The files might still be floating around. Of course, this was pre-Dragon remakes of the original kits from the Al-Qadim book.

Perhaps this would be a good way to make use of my summer is to convert Al-Qadim to 3.5.

Nah, I've got too much on my plate as it is... I'd love to see it accomplished, though.

Holy Slayer.

I checked it out, but some of it made my forehead wrinkle. I mean, mamluk as a PrC? A mamluk is someone...a slave who was trained in warfare since childhood. You can't really "become" a mamluk by choice. :\ The rest were...o.k. I would rather have had them as straight out classes rather than PrCs. Other old kits like askar, faris, rawun, and such. can then become cultural names for fighter, paladin, bard, etc. Outland barbarian needs nothing more than some blurb about how they tie in to the setting.

The desert rider would could feasibly be a PrC, but would work just as well as a "proscribed" feat tree for fighters and rangers.

The clerical kits seem to be more flavor as well, rather than anything more tangible. Fortunately, the "Land of Fate" boxed set gives out details for specialty priests, so you have at least a base to work from for the Zakharan gods.

I think they went with Prestige Classes since Al-Qadim was all based on kits. You had to start as a fighter, and then apply whatever kit you wanted. But, you're right, the mamluk one didn't make a lot of sense.

That's true, but I was thinking of the current Oriental Adventures update where they didn't make a bushi class all over again, they just gave some cultural notes and said "apply this to the Fighter class." I just don't think that PrCs really cover the job that kits used to do. I mean, after all, samurai and wu jen were kits as well, but they're not prestige classes in 3E (outside of that new samurai PrC in Complete Warrior).
