Hello! The purpose of this thread is to have a central place for people to post conversions for 1st edition modules to PFRPG, since these resources are scattered on various message boards across the internet. I primarily play Pathfinder, but I love the "vibe" of AD&D/B/X. I've had a lot of success running a few modules out of the book with on the fly conversions by cross-referencing enemies, hazards, etc. from the Bestiaries, Core Rulebook,and GM book. This can cause a lot of clutter around the game table; as you can imagine; but my group has a lot of fun with it!

I know there have been attempts like this in the past on other sites (ENworld, which I'll link to), but I'd like this one to focus specifically on Pathfinder rule set. 3.5 conversions totally work, but I know people have made pfrpg updates from hunting around on the message boards, but oftentimes being hit with dead links, or having to send PM that don't get responded to.

So, if you have a PFRPG conversion on your hard drive that you'd like to share, please post it here!

Here's the link to the ENworld 3.5 conversion archive: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?245278-Attempt-to-rebuild-conve rsion-library-please-upload-conversions-to-3-5-here

Hey! I'm seeking opinions on how to adapt the legendary Blackrazor from White Plume Mountain to pfrpg. In my campaign we did that classic dungeon with one of my players switching roles as a temporary game master using the wotc 3.5 conversion. My problem with the three magic weapons in that conversion are that they are pretty under"whelm"ing (get it??) In the sense that Blackrazor doesn't actually do what blackrazor should do as listed in the original module (until level 20 or whatever). I've been playing around with using a modified stat set-up from the magus archetype, but I feel as though that I takes away from the fun of any magus character that might join my party in the possible future. So then I was thinking of keeping it simple and just making it a basic enchanted weapon but there is a lot to consider when developing an iconic item like blackrazor using the current enchanents available in pathfinder.

So I suppose the big challenge for me is
1) How can I make pathfinder Blackrazor be immediately recognizable as Blackrazor from the original module
2) Should be treated as a fully fleshed out intelligent weapon or as an enchanted sword?
3) ideally the weapon should already be awesome and come with its known abilities, but the character that got it is merely 8th level. I'm not too concerned about balancing, but I don't want him to be taking all of the glory in every encounter.

I'm just curious to know what the community would come up with. And feel free to include your ideas for Whelm and Wave. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the player who claimed Blackrazor is an arcane bloodline sorceror! The paladin certainly didn't want the weapon, nor did the druid or the bow-focused ranger. So im trying to think of fun stuff that could also benefit Blackrazor being wielded by a magic user. Thanks!

I was wondering if this ability counts as having the dodge feat; since that is essentially what it is; except renamed. Would this allow me to take feats that require Dodge as a prerequisite, or do I have to use (waste) a feat to get dodge, so I can then obtain Mobility?
