Dark Sun Conversion...

So I am working on a Dark Sun conversion for Pathfinder which has became a pain in the arse.

Anyway, I am looking for help on my races...

www.Athas.org does not seem to be operational, so I'd recommend grabbing torrent compilation of their works and use their materials as basis:
Athas.org torrent.

Ya, the site has down for awhile so I have been using the stuff in Dragon Magazines. What do you think of the work so far?

Emphasis mine - well there's your problem right there. Don't look at any of the Dragon stuff. Paladins on Athas. As much as I love Paizo's run of Dragon and Dungeon, that one idea is so fundamentally WRONG that it just makes the whole issue seem unusable.

I'm not sure how helpful this will be, but a little while ago I calculated the Challenge Ratings of the Sorcerer-Kings by back-converting their 4E levels. It may give you something to work with if you ever want to make stats for them.

 

[Shenron]

I don't think it mentioned Paladins on Athas, this is back Dragon #319 or something like that. They have all the races for 3.5 statted up and that it what I am using fo rmy conversion work.

I am just trying to get the stuff down so I can run the game. Such as races, etc. I might have to stat up some of the Dragon Kings down the road. I think I am going to use the Jabberwock as the Dragon of Tyr (I do believe that would be epic).

Anyway, I would really like some feed back as far as balance goes, etc. I only have two races to go and I want to be able to hammer out the ones I have already done first.

Quick question as well, I am unable to get my hands on Psionics Unleashed and I might have to drop Expanded Psionics into the mix, how bad would that be?

I had done this my self in the first few posts of the below thread.
I also suggest the psionics rules book from Dremscarred Press.

Note that this was before the APG and the psionics book:

Thank you for the help. That means a lot.

Oh, thank you so much. I have made a lot of progress. I have left some things out of the write up for Thri-Keen because they seemed to have a little to much.

But I have added the Shardmind fron 4th ed. as well as I plan on adding those purple lizard folk. I forget what they are called.

Then I am not sure where to go next with it, maybe new weapons? rules changes? Not to sure.
