[QUOTE="Inchoroi, post: 8590304, member: 6752135"] My advice: [LIST=1] [*]Do the conversion [I]well before[/I] you run the session. There's a lot of nuance for you to wade through since PF1e is so rules-heavy, you'll have to decide how you want to handle certain situations, e.g. haunts, ghoul fever, poisons, etc. In my opinion, doing the conversion with just a monster list and the book would be impossible; or at least, it would take a [I]much better[/I] DM than I to do it. [*]Plug & Play where you can. It's not important if its not 100% accurate; you can customize as you need to if its really necessary, but other than the bosses/NPCs/important monsters, plug & play is probably your best bet. [*]Save/Skill & DCs. Go with your gut on this one, for the most part; the actual DC is usually best guidelined as (save DC / 2) + 5. That gets you in the ballpark. Its important to be steady on how you do Perception/Investigation (I run it by using passive Perception to point a character towards something important, and then Investigation for figuring out what they found). [*]Redo all treasure. All of it. Customize to how you feel the campaign would go; I'm fairly liberal with both money and magic items. The amount of money and magic items that are given out is crazy and way more than a group could probably keep track of. Plug & play from the DMG or Griffon's Saddlebag as needed; don't homebrew items you don't actually need to homebrew. [*]Maps. Make sure your maps are ready, because you will need them.
