[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 257289, member: 2020"] Actually, I now have a VERY serious problem concerning my character, Edena. The Gaming Conventions do not allow me to conduct a straight level for level transfer from 2nd edition to 3rd edition for Edena. (The Gaming Conventions, not to be confused with gaming conventions like Origins, are the unspoken Code of Conduct I follow as a Gamer.) Edena, as I said above, cannot do any of the things that an Epic Level character can do. Edena's hit points are high (over 200) for 2E, but hardly exceptional in 3E. Edena's enormous spell roster is possible in 3E only if I were to make a straight level transfer, then use all of his possible Feats to add spell slots (which, in my opinion, would be a ridiculous translation in any case.) It really follows, therefore, that Edena is not an Epic Level character. Yet he is very high level. So, what to do? A question I am mulling over, with no good answers. The option that seems most viable is to make him a 20th level cleric / 1st level wizard for 3rd edition (thus giving him one Epic Level.) It is possible that 10 of his clerical levels are actually levels in a Prestige Class (what class, I am not sure yet.) Of course, this way strips the character of 139 hard earned levels. Not entirely fair to the character. I am at a bit of a loss on the translation, to be honest with you, Crothian. I AM, at least, exonerated in what I did with the character in the 2nd edition game. A point that is immensely gratifying, considering the level of abuse I received over his 160 2nd edition levels. Thanks for your support, Crothian. [/QUOTE]
