[QUOTE="JamesDJarvis, post: 2401183, member: 2515"] That would be utterly pointless. When converting from abn earlier edition don'ty you get to take advantage of the new class features? So..a direct number conversion would be bull as it doesn'ty reflect the actual capabilities of the convereted character. Pit characters against the same monster from thier own editions. Sure stats are gonna vary there but an ogre is an ogre (for example) regradless of edition. Or pit the character against an identical 18th level fighter in his own edition. (target Ac is 20 in 3e and 0 in AD%D and str 17) an 18th level 3e fighter armed with a longsword will do ~26 pts damage a round (within his edition) abn 18th level 1eAD&D (pghbn obnlty) fighter with a longsword will do ~11 ptys of damage a round (within his edition) the highest rolled hp a 3e fighter will have (not accounting for stats) is 180 the highest rolled hp a 1eAD&D fighter will have (not accounting for stats) is 117 a 3e fighter may perish in 7 rounds when facing another 18th level fighter a 1e AD&D fighter may perish in 11 rounds facing another 18th level fighter. the AD&D fighter is tougher (within his own edition) but what if if both characters have a con of 18? the highest rolled hp a 3e fighter will have 252 the highest rolled hp a 1eAD&D fighter will have is 153 a 3e fighter may perish in 10 rounds whbn facing another 18th level fighter a 1e AD&D fighter may perish in 14 rounds facing another 18th level fighter. the AD&D fighter is tougher (within his own edition) of course there are lots of sniggley details that can knock all of this outa whack.
