[QUOTE="Stan Shinn, post: 7683586, member: 99654"] Very confused by the language on determining what CR level a 1st edition modules maps to. Let's say you have the 1st Edition module "Slave Pits of the Undercity" (A1) which was for characters levels 4–7. Here's what the new WOTC Conversion document on p. 4 says: "The first task is to select an adventure of the appropriate level for your player characters. Characters of a level in the middle of a suggested level range are likely to find the most challenge with the least overt risk of excessively difficult encounters. In any case, adventures along the lower and middle parts of the level spectrum work better with quick conversion." Does the conversion document indicate this module is appropriate for level 4 or 5, and that level 6 or 7 characters would find the module too easy? My general sense based on memory of various conversions I've done is that 5th edition maps to 1st edition something like this, where D&D 5th Ed. characters are about two levels higher than 1st Edition characters once you hit 4th level: 1st Ed. PC | 5th Edition PC -------------------------------- 1st Lvl | 1st Lvl 1st Lvl | 2st Lvl 2nd Lvl | 3rd Lvl 2nd Lvl | 4th Lvl 3rth Lvl | 5th Lvl 4rth Lvl | 6th Lvl 5th Lvl | 7st Lvl 6th Lvl | 8th Lvl 7th Lvl | 9th Lvl 8th Lvl | 10th Lvl 9th Lvl | 11th Lvl 10th Lvl | 12th Lvl Anyone have any thoughts on this?
