EQ RPG classes to 20 level version?

[SSquirrel]

Anyone done this mod yet? I really dig some of the classes in EQ, but I realzie that it was cut down to a 30 level progression from a 60 level in the computer game and just straight cramming all those abilities and such into 20 levels would probably be a bit much. Anyone done this in a balanced fashion yet? Especially the Shadow Knight.

Also, The way I see it, for every 5% XP penalty the system would give, you could declare an ECL of 2 on the race in standard d20. So a Barbarian race from EQ would be ECL 2 instead of 5% penalty

To answer my own question I sat down last night and starting doing it. I only have 3 hybrid classes left to switch over. BAB and Save tables stay the same thru level 20 and for figuring out where each ability would fall, multiply the level given by anything from .6 to .75, you kinda have to vary it. Something granted every 4 levels would be given every 3, every 3 becomes every 2, etc. I'm gonna type it all up and post a link at some point for anyone interested.
