Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zaruthustran" data-source="post: 3787922" data-attributes="member: 1457">You mean, how hard will it be to convert a 3E fighter into a 4E fighter?Well, it depends on what you mean by convert. I imagine that not every single feat from 3E PHB will be duplicated in 4E, or even if it is duplicated, have the exact same pre-reqs. Also, just be looking at Saga, there could be changes to fundamentals such as AC. In these situations, where not everything is 1:1, what counts as "conversion"? When you get into character levels, well, we've heard that the PHB will be from levels 1 to 30. So if you've got a 12th level 3E character, what level does he "convert" to in 4E? I'm guessing that it depends on the class, really--the players and DMs would have to look at each character's capabilities and peg them, case by case, to something appropriate in 4E.I just don't think a formulaic conversion would really work for this new edition. Much better to just look at the new rules, look at your old character, and rebuild that character using the new rules. So if you've got a strong dwarven glaive fighter in 3E, you take the 4E rules and build a strong dwarven glaive fighter. Don't worry about some formula, and instead just embrace the new system and recreate your guy.It's a new edition, after all--don't you want to try out some of the new options? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />-z</blockquote>
