[QUOTE="Agback, post: 972516, member: 5328"] G'day It's sad, but I don't think you are going to be able to convert that character at the level of capabilities. I suggest that you get some guidelines from your GM as to the stat points, experience points, and treasure he wants you to have, then simplify your character down to a [i]core concept[/i], and then build a character to that concept within the limits provided. Your character will change a lot, but with luck some sort of essence will survive. How are the other players doing on their conversions? If theirs are straightforward is might be best to scale your stat points, treasure, and experience points from the new party mean in the proportion that they stood from the old part mean. But I think you had better brace yourself. 1st ed multi-classed characters were an indecent assault upon game balance, and if the rest of your party are (as seems likely) 9th or 10th level monoclassed characters, then quite probably the reason your GM is switching to 3E is because it will rein in horrors such as yours. In his shoes, I would want to nerf your character, and I would feel that all-round fairness demanded that I nerf him, and you wouldn't be able to talk me 'round. Perhaps, if you are very reluctant to see this character cut down to size, you had better talke to your GM about generating a new one. So, what [i]are[/i] the other PCs in the group like?
