Just look up the stats for the same--or similar--monster in the new system's books. Or find something vaguely similar & make minor adjustments. Or just make up all the numbers (as you start to become more conversant with the new system).One of the big advantages of this is that you can also adjust on-the-fly. If you do it all up front & then, after a couple of encounters, discover you conversion methodology was slightly wonky, you may have to ignore a lot of work you've done.But, while on-the-fly has worked for myself & the other GMs I've played with, it may not work for you. YMMV.With C&C it's all about the challenge level. Pick a "threat level" for the region/dungeon level & use that as your default challenge level for most rolls. Adjust up or down a point or two occasionally depending upon the situation & just to keep things interesting. (Heck, you can use this to wing a whole adventure w/o converting from a module.)Also, if you're converting from d20 to C&C, I'd advise not trying to convert every skill check. Many things that a d20 module will call for a skill check on don't really warrant a roll, because the chance of failure (or success) shouldn't really be so great. It makes some sense to have more rolls in d20 because you want the players to feel like the ranks they put in their skills were worth while. In a system like C&C that doesn't have all those skills, though, just rule it a success or failure as appropriate & keep the game moving.For me, e.g., this is especially true of Search checks. Unless something has been intentionally well hidden, any search should find it.</blockquote>
