[QUOTE="Seravin, post: 1038660, member: 6783"] Thank you, Redshirt. I appreciate the compliment. I'm not sure that the mix of things is completely right, but your feedback shows that I'm at least in the ballpark - and praise is good for my ego. :D The conversion of the high level monsters was actually reasonably easy. I used the guidelines in the 2e to 3e conversion booklet that came out when 3rd edition was released. I think it is still available on WOTC's site somewhere for download. For the end of book 2 I ended up using ETools do the conversions though. A handy little tool and a bit easier to use in this case then PCGen for this particular project. The amazing thing about all of this is that the converted power levels pretty much match the characters levels when they were encountered One for one, the monsters have stayed right about the levels I'd like for the characters to face. The bigger deal is that most of the monsters don't have the equipment for a character of their level, but that's usually been made up for by the sheer number of them. Besides, the last thing the party needs is more treasure. When the party sacked Broken Spire, they had on the order of 12,000gp in cash, gems, and jewelry, on top of the magic items (some major) - and they were only about 4th-5th level. [/QUOTE]
