[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 311431, member: 4134"] And I ask you to either contribute to the discussion yourself, or don't. Don't just snap at people without producing something worthwile yourself. And the idea about 1st level was just an extreme example. I did point out that it worked all the way. And if you converted him, you _had_ to create the character in 2e, or there would be nothing to convert. It doesn't work only for 1st-level characters, but for all characters! When you convert, you belatedly get the 1 point to an ability score for every 4 levels. So let's make a comparison: You create a 3e-fighter from scratch. You put a 18 into STR.
