Last time was with 2nd edition but I was only a player then and hated the rules with a passion. Now I want to DM. Since 4E isn´t for me I am thinking about using Pathfinder. Has anyone tried this before or is running a Dark Sun game with Pathfinder now (not like right now but more in a general way)? My problem is I´ve never converted anything...So the difficult aspects I see straight away are:- Psionics. Would it be balanced to use the Expanded Psionics Handbook for 3.5 as is? I have no clue whether a Psion would be powerful enough or still overpowered or whatever. Also, how should I rule Wild Talents? Back in 2nd edition everyone had about a 10% chance to have a wild talent, a little low for my tastes.- Races. Since Pathfinder races are different I don´t know if it´s ok to use the Athas.org Dark Sun 3 races OR the races from the Dungeon Magazines.(just a quick question, which Dark Sun version do you prefer concerning flavor and rules, the one from the magazines or the one from Athas.org?)- Classes. What to allow and what not to allow? Should I include a Gladiator class from anywhere? Templar? I really like the idea of Themes as presented in Dark Sun 4E but don´t know how to pull it of with Pathfinder.- Monsters is easy, since Paizo and Athas.org have done so much converting already.Cheers,Rob</blockquote>
