[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5464194, member: 54877"] I've never found the "converting characters" measurement very compelling. It is somewhat compelling when coverting characters is as easy as it is from 1E to 2E (at least for most of the characters). But if it gets to be any more troublesome than that, then it is a distinction without a difference to me. Ask me if I want to fall off a the deck or off the third story roof, then I find the deck very compelling. Ask me if I want to drop 5,000 feet or 6,000 feet onto concrete, I really don't have a preference. If you want to argue that the 6,000 feet was more like 15,000 feet, or that I can get to terminal velocity with a much shorter fall than even 5,000--it still doesn't change my answer. I pick C, have a parachute. :p Converting from 2E to 3E or 3E to 4E, I've got no preference. I"ll just start over, reimagine the characters with only a thin nod to their roots, or if fidelity matters that much to me, stick with the current system for those characters. [/QUOTE]
