The standard Elf class as Eldritch Knight/Wizard multiclass with the split being equal levels of each class until fighter 3, then add more wizard levels until around 10th. At that point, using a bit more fighter or wizard to represent the choice presented in the Elves of Alfheim book to be either an "Elven Lord" or an "Elven Wizard" (or whatever terms were used, I forget).Any Elf characters that were the special tree-mage type I convert as land circle druids, any elf characters that picked the right sort of spells and playstyle I convert as rangers, and the Shadow Elf Shaman I convert as a light domain cleric, sometimes multiclassed with wizard (depending on the spells the character typically prepared).One thing that I disagree with in the official document, however, is considering BECMI level to translate at a 1:1 ratio with everything above 20 being counted as 20. It makes more sense to use the level conversion rate from the Rules Cyclopedia, which is a 1:1 ration for levels 1 through 12, but every 3 BECMI levels beyond that point map to 1 level (13-15 equals 13, 16-18 equal 14, etc.).</blockquote>
