[QUOTE="LordEntrails, post: 7921967, member: 6804070"] So converting between editions (rules) is something that to me is very much an art and not a science. You could go back and look at the PF guides to see how encounters are scaled, and then you could compare to 5E. But, that's not all their is, because they are built on different "adventuring days" and resources are managed differently in PF and 5E. What I suggest is one of two ways to approach this; 1) Replace all the creatures with 5E creatures and call it a day. Or don't quite call it a day, but then take that and figure out how it fits in with the 5E encounter rules and adventuring day. Does it make sense? Or more directly, what level does such an adventure need for the characters? 2) Start from scratch. Read the adventure, see what the sense of it is. How hard it should be, what types of challenges the players face, and then build a whole new adventure based on that one. Design it to match the level of characters you want it to be. Personally I'd go with #1 in most cases. Quicker, but it might mean that the converted adventure doesn't fit for the same level party. [/QUOTE]
