Okay, aside for checking in with my Tomb of Horrors thread which is getting to the point were I detail my groups adventures into the Tomb, I have listed below the 3.5 conversation that I downloaded from somewhere. I used some of it, but used a few custom things too.
Things I kept the same in the original are the detect secret door method. In the D&D game, you have to have the attention of the players at all times and they have to know that you are in charge. You could convert everything into a DC, but part of the thrill of going through the Tomb of Horrors is the uncertainty of success. I converted a few traps and search rolls into DCs but for the most part, I stuck to the original, you find a secret door in a 4 in 6, or whatever, or the original rules. This kept that players on their toes, rather than just saying, "well, I have a +24 on lock picks and I'll take 10 to open it, what's inside," number one rule of the Tomb of Horroers, you are the DM and what you says goes, don't let the rules lawyers in the group tell you that you are ever wrong, no matter what you decide to do for conversation.
I beefed up the monsters from what was listed. Also, I sealed the entrance to the Tomb of Horrors when they entered and prevented them from leaving by having all teleport type spells fail and automatically summon a demon to fight the party. This partially back fired when the players tried to back out of the Dungeon and summoned a demon. They easily killed the Summoned Succubus. They decided the try and farm for XP, which was there mistake, cause I had ruled that before play began that every teleport or travel type spell would fail and summon a demon in a more progressive manner. So next they summoned a maralith, then a Vrock and so on until they got to the Balor, which did kill a few of them, then, after having run out of demons, I had the demos summoned in multiples, they stopped before two Balors showed up, first wise move they made.
I also prohibited resting in the Tomb. I only allowed them to rest once they got to the second to the last room. In 1st edition AD&D you needed to rest after most of the rooms, in 3.5, if you have a party that is not smart enough to make it to the end, then it really doesn't matter how many times you rest. I have said it before, if you play by the original rules, aside from the monsters, you should beable to play the module with 1st level characters. That is to say, it is totally a thinking mans module and the monsters that are in it, with the exception of the Demi-lich, are really nothing specail, everything is a situation and if you can't think your way through the module, then your character, reguardless of level, will not make it through.
I have to dig for the Lich that I used at the end, but it was a combination the AD&D lich and the 3.0 Epic lich. If I find it I'll post it.
Anyway, here is what I have, hope it helps.
Feel free to e-mail me at
c.e.rocco@comcast.net with questions. But please do your homework first and read everything.
CONVERSION NOTES
This document includes the conversion of creatures and NPCs needed to be compatible with the D&D 3.5 Ed. Rules™ and the SRD. Modification/conversion details in this document are presented in order of occurrence in the module.
However, treasure has not been converted to conform to the treasure per encounter recommendations in the D&D 3.5 Ed. Rules™, though conversions of items presented in the adventure (which do not have 3.5 edition counterparts) has been completed. Feel free to omit or substitute any treasure item as necessary.
Additionally, the Game Master should carefully consider the strength of any player characters, which are sent into this adventure. AD&D modules of this era expected much larger party sizes than the standard d20 System™ adventure. The original text for this module recommends 4-8 characters of 10th-14th level. The encounter levels in this adventure range from EL 1 to EL 17, suggesting that the DM may need to be creative in balancing the adventure for their specific party, especially if there are only 4 players.
NOTES FOR THE DUNGEON MASTER
Creatures: Creatures without descriptions can be found in the D&D 3.5 Edition Monster Manual™.
Character Roster: The character roster in the back of the adventure has not been converted. If you wish to use pre-generated characters, use the statistics for NPCs found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide (p. 47).
Details: One of the keys to successfully running this adventure successfully is to encourage specificity during the adventure. When a player states they are taking an action, ask specifically how the action is being undertaken, and what objects are being used as part of the action. (Example: Using a pole to tap the floor while checking for traps. Also, giving specific details of each encounter area will improve the experience. (Example: The corridor ahead is crumbling and the dust on the floor indicates that it has not been traveled for some time. The cobwebs hanging from the ceiling move gently in the currents created by your party, creating flickering shadows on the walls.)
Experience: The experience for AD&D 1st Ed. Rules™ was based on killing creatures and recovering treasure, which is different in D&D 3.5 Ed. Rules™. It is recommended that the DM give their players alternate experience awards (such as story, goal or time awards) for overcoming the challenges in the tomb.
Traps and Search/Disable Device: The majority of this adventure is laced with devious and diabolic traps. I have provided recommendations for the use of the Search skill and Disable Device skill to give the flavor of the original adventure.
The Search skill should only find a hidden object, door or trap when the character explicitly looks in the correct area for the item. Remember to note the encounter descriptions in the adventure for the specific areas a character must Search to find hidden objects.
The Disable Device skill should only allow the character to determine generally how a trap might work in this adventure. Most of the traps in the adventure cannot be physically disabled, but have notes about how they act. For example, a character searching for traps may find a seal indicating a gas trap from their previous experiences; but they won’t be able to physically disable it. However, based on their Disable Device skill check, they can determine the approximate volume that may be filled by the gas. Another option is to use the variant Disable Device rules in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Tanar’ric Guardian: On the first round and every 3 subsequent rounds that a creature uses a magical effect to take on an alternate form within the tomb; a demon is summoned. Roll randomly to determine between: vrock, glabrezu, hezrou, nalfeshnee, or marilith. Sample magic, which triggers this effect, includes etherealness, wind walk and gaseous form.
Note: Magic with the Teleportation descriptor does not work within the tomb.

SA – Corrupting Gaze (Su): A ghost can blast living beings with a glance, at a range up to 30 feet. Creature’s that meet the ghost’s gaze must succeed on a Fortitude save (DC 16) or take 2d10 points of damage and 1d4 points of Charisma damage.
SA – Corrupting Touch (Su): A ghost that hits a living target with its incorporeal attack deals 1d6 points of damage. Against ethereal opponents, it adds its Strength modifier to attack and damage rolls. Against material opponents, it adds its Dexterity modifier to the attack rolls only.
SA – Draining Touch (Su): A ghost that hits a living target with its incorporeal attack drains 1d4 points from any one ability score it selects. On each successful attack, the ghost heals 5 points of damage to itself. Against ethereal opponents, it adds its Strength modifier to attack and damage rolls. Against material opponents, it adds its Dexterity modifier to the attack rolls only.
SA – Frightful Moan (Su): The ghost can moan as a standard action. All living creatures within 30 ft. radius must make a Will save (DC 16) or become panicked for 2d4 rounds. This is a sonic, necromantic, mind-affecting fear effect. A creature that successfully saves against the moan cannot be affected by the same ghost’s moan for one day.
SA – Horrific Appearance (Su): Any living creature within 60 ft. that views the ghost must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 16) or immediately suffer 1d4 points of permanent Strength, 1d4 points of permanent Dexterity and 1d4 points of permanent Constitution drain. A creature that successfully saves against this effect cannot be affected by the same ghost’s horrific appearance for one day.
SA – Malevolence (Su): Once per round, an ethereal ghost can merge its body with a creature on the Material Plane. This ability is similar to magic jar as cast by a 10th level sorcerer, except that it does not require a receptacle. If the attack succeeds, the ghost’s body vanishes into the opponent’s body. The target can resist the attack with a successful Will save (DC 16). A creature that successfully saves is immune to that ghost’s malevolence for one day.
SA – Manifestation (Su): As ethereal creatures, ghosts cannot affect or be affected by anything in the material world. When they manifest, ghosts become visible but remain incorporeal. However, a manifested ghost can strike with its touch attack or ghost touch weapon. A manifested ghost remains on the Ethereal Plane but can be attacked by opponents on both the Material and Ethereal planes. When a spellcasting ghost is on the Ethereal Plane, its spells cannot affect targets on the Material Plane, but they work normally against ethereal targets. When a spellcasting ghost manifests, its spells continue to affect ethereal targets and can affect targets on the Material Plane normally unless the spells rely on touch. A manifested ghost’s touch spells don’t work on material targets.
SA – Telekinesis (Su): The ghost can use telekinesis once per round as a free action, as cast by 12th level sorcerer. When a ghost uses this power, it must wait 1d4 rounds before using it again.
SQ – Rejuvenation (Su): The ghost which is destroyed will reform in 2d4 days. A ghost that would otherwise be destroyed returns to its old haunts with a successful level check (1d20 + ghost’s HD) against a DC 16. The only way to get rid of the ghost for sure is to determine the reason for its existence and set right whatever prevents it from resting in peace.

SA – Trap the Soul (Su): A demilich can trap the souls of up to eight living creatures per day. To use this power, it selects any target within 200 feet. The target is allowed a Fortitude save (DC 24). If the target makes its saving throw, it gains two negative levels and does not count as a use of this ability. If the target fails its save, the soul of the target is instantly drawn from its body and trapped within one of the gems incorporated into the demilich’s form. The gem gleams wickedly for 24 hours, indicating the captured soul within. The soulless body collapses in a mass of corruption and molders in a single round, reduced to dust. If left to its own devices, the demilich slowly devours the soul over 24 hours. At the end of that time, the soul is completely absorbed and the victim is forever gone. If the demilich is overcome before the soul is eaten, crushing the gem releases the soul, after which time it is free to seek the afterlife or be returned to its body by the user of either resurrection, true resurrection, clone, or miracle. A potential victim protected by a death ward spell is not immune to trap the sould, but receives a +5 bonus on its Fortitude saving throw. Negative energy protection is effective against the level loss.
SA – Fear Aura (Su): Demiliches are shrouded in a dreadful aura of death and evil. Creatures of less than 4 HD in a 60-foot radius that look at the demilich must succeed at a Will save (DC 16) or be affected as though by fear as cast by a 12th level caster.
SA – Paralyzing Touch (Su): Any living creature a demilich touches must succeed at a Fortitude check (DC 24) or be permanently paralyzed.
