D&D 3E/3.5 Attempt at Conversion doc to convert 3.5 edition and Pathfinder monsters to D&D Next - on the fly

[KnightCa]

Your doing it right Pontinyc. The AC conversion is dependent on both the CR and the original AC entered.

Formula: New AC = Original AC - Creature CR (or 2 if CR 2 or less) +2
Example (Frost Drake): New AC (15) = Original AC (20) - Creature CR (7) +2

does that help?
