[QUOTE="DammitVictor, post: 9200477, member: 6750908"] [USER=1]@Morrus[/USER] (sorry for doing it twice, won't do it a third) This... is how I use ChatGPT for my psychobilly D&D mashups. Okay. Ground rules. Let's poke around with converting sci-fi aliens to the [I]Spelljammer[/I] setting, and moving back and forth between editions. Okay, so... I do this [I]a lot[/I] and I'm familiar with some of the weak spots. ChatGPT's knowledge of Alternity goes... a little bit past the core rulebooks, but not into the later setting supplements. It clearly doesn't have a clue what a thaal or an oortling is, and it punted every aspect of this question pertaining to them. [I]Schade[/I]. Okay, so... wrong. But only wrong on Size. Correct this, and it regurgitates the whole response unprompted: Notice that with the change in size, it changed the ability score adjustments and removed the additional penalty to Strength-based skills. And... the reference to "disadvantage" and "Strength-based skills" in AD&D. Ask it about class and level restrictions: Legit. By default, every AD&D race gets Fighter and Cleric, but fraal have compelling reasons not to. Asked about multiclassing: So... they can be Mage/Thief or maybe Psionicist/Thief, but not single-classed Thief. May not have been what ChatGPT was trying to say... but it works, and can be modified by a human brain that knows it owns books. It forgot the Favored Class. ChatGPT is [I]a little fuzzy[/I] on the difference between 3.X's favored class rules and Pathfinder's. I did not expect it to get the correct class levels for each ability. I don't know. Looks close to me, but I'm not as familiar with PF2. Well. That just didn't work at all. [/QUOTE]
