[QUOTE="Thresher, post: 972592, member: 9983"] I can understand having brought a character through 3 editions of D&D over the years myself, however what you must understand is that it is same name, different game. About all your going to be able to really bring with you is a name and thats about it, dont try and duplicate the character under the 3E system, it dosnt work. Instead, concentrate on making a good 3E character roughly 'like' the old one because the former just isnt going to transpose over, its not all bad. At least youve probably got his/her personality worked out and he has a past. :) As for the psionics, well in 1E it was always a case of most GM's cringing as best I remember because they where bloody silly to the extreame. Im in favour of giving you an ECL of about 1-2 and a lot of innate spells for your grey elf. Though, the real problem with ECL is that it makes for horrible primary spellcasters later on unless you pick your feats very, very carefully. Could be worse, you could have a few levels of fighter in there [i]and[/i] an ECL! /cries... As for the rest, talk to your GM and get something worked out, most importantly the understanding that your group may not be anywhere near as tough as they once where, so go easy on the monsters and random encounters for a few games as a bit of a shakedown cruise. During that time you can work out the bugs on the character, tweek it a bit so that it works ok and your used to running him again. Good luck, alas I think youre probably in for a bit of a shock, 3E dosnt like multiclass spellcasters and much less anyone who tries to be versitile. [/QUOTE]
