Dark World: A Good vs. Evil Campaign World

[Knightfall]

Are you adapting all the 3E classes, or is there an existing conversion you'll be using?

My plan is to do as little conversion work as possible. Therefore, if I can find existing conversions for the classes I want to use then I'll use them.

I haven't really started looking for class conversions yet. I want to get as many of the races done as I can first.

I'd say that I'm most likely to try to create a conversion for the Witch and Adept from the 3e DMG. I'll probably have to do conversions for the Darkness & Dread classes as well since those classes are a bit more obscure.

I'm really glad I found a conversion for the 2e Psionicist already. That would have been a lot of work.

EDIT
I did just find this: http://johnwright281.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/tomeofdiversity.pdf

Classes in the PDF
Archer
Blade Dancer
Engineer
Fencer
Marksman
Shaman
Warlocke
Witch Doctor
Witch Hunter

Of these, I can see a use for the Witch Hunter and maybe the Archer for Dark World. The others don't really match the tone of the world. The Shaman isn't how I want my Shaman. I might borrow parts of the Witch Doctor for my Shaman, however.

Darkvision: A gnoll can see in complete darkness for up to 60 feet.

Hit Dice Bonus: A gnoll character doubles his/her first two Hit Die rolls, no matter his/her chosen character class to simulate his/her racial Hit Dice. Add any bonuses for high Constitution scores after doubling the roll of the die. For example, a male gnoll fighter with a Constitution score of 15 rolls 1d10, multiplies the results by 2, and adds +1 to determine his hit points. If his roll is 7 for 1st-level, he starts play with 15 hit point (7 x 2 = 14 + 1 = 15). After gaining enough XP to reach 2nd-level, he would double his hit point roll and add his Constitution modifier again. After that he gains hit points normally.

VASHAR

Description:

Personality:

Racial Affinities:

Environment:

RACIAL TRAITS AND ABILITIES

Enmity (Humans): Vasharans hate humanity considering them inferior upstarts in world that should have belonged to the Vashar. When in combat against humans, this vile racism allows Vasharans a +1 to hit human foes. They have a similar distrust of half-elves and half-orcs. The Vashar find the thought of inter-breeding with humans disgusting, and their relentless antipathy towards humanity negatively affects Vasharan relations with half-elves and half-orcs. Vasharans suffer a -4 to charisma checks when interacting with humans, half-elves, half-orcs, or any halfbreed race with a human bloodline (i.e planetouched).

Primary Attributes: As per the Human entry on pg. 40 of the C&C Players Handbook.

Vile Origin: Vasharans were born out of evil. They carry that taint with them. It drives them to pillage and murder. As a result, if a Vasharan's true nature is known he/she will suffer a -2 penalty to all charisma checks when dealing with characters that believe strongly in righteousness such as paladins and knights of good alignment. This penalty stacks with the charisma penalty listed under Enmity (humans).
