[QUOTE="mypetrock, post: 383914, member: 4548"] I agree with you 100%. Mature green dragons are a whole lot more potent. But then again so are the players. Fighters get iterative attacks a lot sooner. Sorcerors get a lot of spells to deal with a threat. And while this may originally have been designed as that doesn't mean that in its converted form that it is supposed to do the same thing. Consider how far up the Expert level food chain you were in order to play this module. That said a Mature adult green dragon has an EL of 15. It would probably be beyond the capabilities of even the most munched out party to take him on and survive. I'm not sure how many dragon age levels previous editions supported. Use your conversion notes to suggest that the enounter could be scaled down with a slightly younger wyrm. A DM using your notes can take note of the EL of a particular encounter and use it to scale up or down the encounter as he desires. Having downloaded a conversion and played it with my group, I have to disagree with you. I feel that conversions are a way of opening up a set of source material (1E/2E) for play in a 3E arena. I don't mind doing the work, but if someone else has performed the service of conversion for me - taken care of most of the grunt work for me - that's better. Then I can focus on the area that I'm really concerned with - adapting the source material to work within my campaign world. mypetrock p.s. Check over at the 3E boards. One of the posters there (Andorax) has done some of the conversion work for the X-series for his campaign world. [/QUOTE]
