[QUOTE="Doug McCrae, post: 4003844, member: 21169"] It depends how close a match you want. 4e can do classes, levels and holes in the ground with monsters in, just like every edition of D&D. I'm guessing fighters and rogues will convert easily. There might be more of a problem with casters as certain powers will require a much higher level in 4e, for example flight and raise dead. It depends if those powers are important to your character or world concept. If not you could probably convert directly - a 6th level elf wizard in 3e becomes a 6th elf level wizard in 4e. More obscure classes and races require more work. One of the playtest groups converted something really weird like an illumian warmage/warblade. I think he became a human warlord with some wizard powers. Multiclassing will supposedly work better in 4e so that becomes a very viable option for multifocus classes such as bards. What about gnomes? Just use a halfling's stats and give him the power to talk to badgers for free. I guarantee no one will notice the difference. [/QUOTE]
