[QUOTE="Cristian Andreu, post: 6516064, member: 23822"] Last saturday, players of the current Planescape campaign I'm running with Pathfinder asked about the posibility of changing over to 5e. I told them that, even though I really like 5e, it might prove to be complicated (they are all 16th level) and that their characters might have to endure severe changes. So we struck a deal. Since we won't be playing until March due to me taking summer vacations, they want to try out and recreate their characters using 5e. Not conversion, since they are aware a lot of the stuff is different or just unavailable (particularly all the feats and spells from non-core books like the APG, UC, and UM), but trying to get the closest to the concept. Then we'll play a "mini spin-off" session with those characters and see what they like best. Do you guys have any experience doing something like this between PF and D&D 5e? I've been DMing 5e for a short while, so I'm still a bit unsure of the caveats and posibilities (got all the books, but still haven't read the DMG in detail). For context, these are the characters: -Cassius, Human Rogue 16 -Seyfos, Human Sorcerer 16 (Red Dragon Bloodline) -Celestia, Aasimar Priestess 16 (Healing and Protection spheres) -Noak, Earth Genasi Fighter 16 (re-skinned Oread from the ARG) -Kheldric, Human Sorcerer 10/Eldritch Knight 6 (Arcane Bloodline) -Vander, Elf Fighter 1/Wizard 5/Eldritch Knight 6/Arcane Archer 3 The last guy is the only one who approached his character with an optimized build in mind. Everyone else just picked up stuff that fitted the background, so they are the most flexible in terms of remaking stuff. Thanks beforehand! [/QUOTE]
