Thank you both for your replies. Understanding the underlying math inherent to a system has never been a strength of mine (hence my heavy investment in professionally designed APs). Historically, a small reference doc has done the trick, though. Perhaps with an accompanying conversion of a shorter 1E module. I'm fairly certain the devs will eventually produce something along these lines given the sheer volume of excellent 1E AP lines released.
Helvellyn - You might just be right about the topic better falling within the bailiwick of a GM Guide.
Mr. Geddes - I agree wholeheartedly with your observations regarding off-the-cuff conversion. I've been toying with a RotR conversion as it's the most generic AP, already been dabbled with on these boards by folks with a much higher-degree of system-inherent math mastery than I, and the one with which I have the most experience running under the 3.5/1E rulesets.
In the mean time, I'm sure that once I've litmus tested a few methods suggested by others or determined some conversion rubrics through trial and error I'll get something workable. But boy a simple official reference doc would be a godsend!
