For my homebrew there are the main 4 classes and races of a standard DnD game. But I get bored with standard and want to convert over every race or class, if possible, to Realm of Adventure format. I would love to have help to! I anyone wants a conversion or to try their hand at one go ahead and post it here.

Dwarves are stout, brave, greedy and bearded. They have +1 to hit with melee weapons; gain +1 hp per HD; have +1 to saves against poisons, diseases and the like and gain a +2 to Heroic Feats involving craftsmanship.

I was lazy. I let players build their own races and classes in my RPG.

Men are skillful, brash, varied and numerous. They gain an extra heroic trait and a +1 bonus to Heroic Feat rolls.

Dwarves are stout, brave, greedy and bearded. They have +1 to hit with melee weapons; gain +1 hp per HD; have +1 to saves against poisons, diseases and the like and gain a +2 to Heroic Feats involving craftsmanship.

Men are going to be pretty jealous that dwarves get +1 melee AND +1 hp. In fact, this alone is enough to allow the dwarven kingdom to subjugate mankind in a matter of months.

The elves won't last too long either, losing 1 hp per die, unless they're happy shooting arrows and casting spells from trees for the rest of their lives. Maybe they'll evolve into birds?

Giants are big, strong, and slow. They gain +1 hp per HD, +2 damage to all melee attacks, and +2 to Heroic Feats involving feats of strength. However, they suffer -2 to Heroic Feats involving movement, and -1 penalty to AC.

Here are reposts of 2 of my favorite classes the Barbarian and Monk

Barbarians are wild, powerful and have little regard for "civilized" peoples.
- HD d12 (+3 HP after level)
- +1 to hit per level +1 damage per 2 levels. Extra +1 damage per level when HP is below half. If they deal a killing blow they may attack again and gain a +1 to hit, cumulative for every kill. This ends if they miss.
- +1 to Heroic Feats of prowess, such as forcing doors, bending bars, climbing, swimming and the like.
- Unused to the weakness of civilization. Barbarians apply armor penalties to all rolls.

Monks are disciplined, athletic, and blindingly quick.
- HD d8
- +1 to hit per level. Unarmed attacks deal 1d6 damage.
- At level 2 if a monk deals damage in melee they can make an extra unarmed attack. Additional attacks at levels 4, 8, 12 etc.
- +1 to damage and initiative and -1 to AC. These improve by 1 at level 3, 6, 9 etc.
- +1 to saves and heroic feats
- A monk loses these benefits if they wear armor or use a shield

I was inspired by DMMike's giant and decided my first race conversion will be Half-giants (or goliaths for 4e people) I loves me some Darksun.

Half-giants are big and strong, very strong.
- double HD at first level
- +2 damage in melee
- +2 penalty to AC
- Can't wear standard armors, but can use shields, if their class can choose an armor choose an additional weapon instead.
- +2 to Heroic Feats if brute strength or enormity would be an asset, -2 to Heroic Feats if they would be a detriment.

Since I did half giants already and I love Darksun here is everyones favorite mantis people.

Thir-Kreen (Mantis People)
Thri-kreen are hardy desert hunters, also giant praying mantises.
-They have two sets of limbs that are equiped seperately, but act on the same initiative and all penalties for initiaive stack. This grants an extra attack or if the limbs are empty they can have an additional movement. Only one spell can be cast per round.

-They cant use standard armor, but can use shields, only one though. They have a -2 bonus to AC for their carapace.

-They have +1 to heroic feats involving hunting (tracking, hiding, survival etc.) and movement (jumping, running etc.)

-They have a -2 penalty to reaction rolls.
