[Malhavic Press] Compatibility?

[TreChriron]

How compatible do you feel the various Monte Cook, et al offerings of Malhavoc Press are with Pathfinder?

Iron Heroes, BOXM1-3, Eldritch Might, Hallowed Might, Chaositech?

I have always been enamored with the excellent work in Arcana Evolved. How hard is it to port classes, races, feats, magic, items, etc. to Pathfinder?

I appreciate any opinions and experience!

I toyed around with converting the races, back in the day, but some of the additional bonuses (+1 natural armor for the mojh, spell like abilities for the verrik and loresong, 'powerful build' for the giants) led me to attempt to cut back the stat bonuses, and I just basically messed the whole thing up.

I tried to convert the racial level progression abilities into some race-specific feats or feat chains, since PF doesn't do the 'race class' thing, but that didn't work out so well, either.

Now, I'd probably rewrite them all from the ground up and have a much better grasp on the rules, but here's the notions I had back then.

AU/AE races for Pathfinder

Different paradigm. Different progression of feats.

Make sure that there are no dead levels (i.e. non spellcaster gain class ability or bonus feats at every level, while spellcasters gain class abilities or bonus feats at every odd, third or fifth level).
Bonus feat - feat strongly related to class, for example: bonus fighter feats.
Spellcaster progression depends on spellcasting abilities of the caster - wizards gain bonus feats at every 5th level, while clerics just gain improved channeling at odd levels.

Bump up hit die for arcane spellcasters to d6.
Bump up hit die for divine spellcasters to d8.
Bump up hit die for non-spellcasters to d8 (for skill/spell users with medium BAB) and d10 (martial types with full BAB).

Adjust skill lists.

Serve.
