Greetings. I'm person who has recently become responsible for classes and prestige classes over at D20PFRSRD. A number of prestige class conversions have been done from 3.0 and 3.5 to the PFRPG and in the interests of quality control I was wondering if anyone had some useful feedback/critiques as to how things have been done and where some changes might be made.
The goal when converting these prestige classes was to get them into PFRPG without making any major balancing changes. If the prestige class had an ability it gained at second level which was something of the nature of
A random exaggerated example wrote:
Bow Before Me (Su)
As a free action, once per day, the Prestige Class can use bow before me to force a PC to bow before the Prestige Class and transfer all character wealth to the user. If the target does not transfer all wealth and bow before the Prestige Class, the target dies and is kicked out of the roleplaying group. Other classes/PCs can determine if the Prestige Class has any uses remaining for the day by making a Search check.
The conversion would change the Search check to a Perception check. In short, changes were not made so much for balance's sake, but rather to get them in a format easily usable in a game. That said, a variant with more extensive changes and rebalancing may be considered, but the preference is to not stray too far from the original.
In general, the conversions have tried to follow the guidelines in PFRPG conversion manual unless there was a strong enough argument to do things slightly differently. (i.e. the Justicar with d8 hp and full bab).
So, without more ado here are the prestige classes that have been converted
