Setting sun could be monk, Shadow hand could be shadowdancer, if such appears when Shadow power source gets showcased, Desert Wind could be swordmage, since they have fiery strikes and magical shields.Multiclassing or training might help, a wizard/fighter could be a duskblade.And the few classes that do not fit at all (dragon shaman) could be replaced with the aforesaid dragonborn cleric or warlord.Races that are gone might be hard to replicate though, closest equivalent mechanically or fluffwise could be used, depends how much investment you have in old campaign.I can certainly see people who have just finished a big campaign and are at very beginning of next one rewriting their characters for the new edition.That is probably the best term: rewriting. It is up to the players what level approximately correspond to current one, multiplying current level by 1.5 might work for non-epic (fits with old tendency to astrally travel or plane shift at high level)Late Epic 3.5 characters should probably start at 21st level: true you are weaker, but gives maximum playing time of characters before you finish at 30th level.</blockquote>
