Does this convert to the Beta Playtest rules or to the newly released Core Rulebook rules?

3.5 to Final rules

Anything anywhere to convert PF Beta to Core? I'm running Beta and I don't want to yank stuff out from under my players by switching to Core. BTW, I did purchase the Core Rules.

Not that I am aware of. I would just use the 3.5 to pfrpg as a roadmap, making sure you go over any feats and such and you should be fine. I never had to convert from beta to pfrpg though as I only GM the pfrpg. My players had very little problems converting from beta to the final rules, with the exception of some feats I allowed them to switch out as they didn't make much sense under the final rules.

hi all!

do i need to convert the pathfinder scenarii that came out before the core rule book?

Nope! Other than calculating CMD and CMB on the fly when necessary, you should be able to run the scenarios as written. There are a few threads on the Society messageboards where people are discussing this.

Click on the add to cart or downloads, I'm not sure, it's already in my downloads.

I've found this handy little pdf great for getting my 3.5 friends to give PFRPG a shot. It's a good outline of some of the changes from 3.5.

This has been very useful for me, as well as my friends, to bring our characters over to pathfinder and continue playing.

Hi there:

The classes that you mention aren't open content and are owned by Wizards of the Coast. We can't provide any conversions for them since doing so would break copyright law and would most likely get us sued! So I don't think you need to worry about use releasing them in a book. :)
