[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 5153574, member: 51930"] What about things like spells? I suppose I could just refer to the listed spells from the PFCR, rather than the 3.x versions. And the classes? For NPCs, I mean. I'm working off the idea that I'd like to add PrCs and Templates to monsters. Also to NPC mortals. Examples: Half-golem from MM2. [B]Lords of Madness[/B] Ropers & super Ropers, Illithids, etc. [B]Creature Collection[/B] revised's Hags [B]GR's advanced bestiary.[/B] I'm not 100% on any of that stuff, in play, and knowing if it will work would be good. [B]Drow of the Underdark's Deep Dragon[/B], in particular, looks fun, ditto some other breeds. However, I've noticed a major shift in the CR of the chromatic dragons in PF. So, I wonder, will the other versions be alright? Can I use a dragon like that, and would it screw up the game in general? It's good to hear that there isn't much change from the 3.x as far as monsters go, at least in use (and if I swap out older versions of spells). What about modules? Like, if I want to grab some old Dungeon issues, or Dungeon Crawl Classics modules, are those still good? Or should I convert all the NPCs? I guess, for sorcerers and other classed creatures, it's a good idea to do conversions by adding new class powers. [/QUOTE]
