My group was set to start the adventure in 4e, but with the release of 5e has decided to try our hand at a conversion.For themes I was thinking that splitting them into Backgrounds and Archetypes (or something else, like an Archetype Variant, that replaces some of the abilities granted by an Archetype). If the player wants to play a character with Archetype straight out of the PHB, that's fine and they can still connect themselves by taking the Vekeshi Mystic background. While someone who wants to go a bit further can take the Vekeshi Mystic Archetype Variant of the Eldritch Knight (first Archetype that came to mind that fit the best to me) and the background. Not sure how much these Archetype Variants would modify the original Archetype, or if they would just add new things on top of the existing Archetype. That would empower the characters further beyond the balance of the system, but might make the most sense in the long term.Sorry, kind of rambling there. Just putting my thoughts out there.</blockquote>
