Hi all,

Here you have the conversion document I made to run the Age of Worms AP with the Pathfinder system. It is a 193 page document with lots of statblocks. Let me explain a few things about this conversion in general:

- I always tried to maintain the famous difficulty of this AP.

- When converting I tried to stay as simple as possible, although there are exceptions. I limited myself to Core rulebook feats, spells and such to keep it simple while we learned all the diferences between 3.5 and Pathfinder. When choosing feats, I tried to select those that gave passive bonuses or boosted saves/hp, the vital strike chain, the critical X chain, etc. There are feats that are useless (in my opinion) and get changed almost every time such as Cleave and Great Cleave.

- When a monster had a 3.5 specific prestige class, I changed it to a core class. The only exceptions are Moreto the true ghoul (he is a magus, fits perfectly and his original writeup was a mess) and Venk the derro (I changed her to a full warlock, converting the class). All the anti-dragon prestige classes in Kings of the Rift got changed into similar base classes.

- When applying the elite array (because you added a class to a monster), I don't apply the -2 modifier and change it into a +0. The rest of the modifiers stay the same. Why? because it is much easier to add than to substract for penalizing an ability score. That and my players have better ability scores (we use the heroic method).

- SR values have been adjusted acording to the creatures' CR when adding class levels or racial hit dice. This is one of my house rules, because I consider SR one of the major defensive abilities for those monsters who have it. If it doesn't go up as the monster advances, then you are basically lowering its base CR.

- Some statblocks don't have the skills bonuses calculated, but the skills themselves are listed so it should be easy to figure them out.

- Dragons deserve a special mention, because there are a lot of them. If you compare the 3.5...

Hi. Name's Jason. I'm about to run the Age of Worms as Pathfinder. I would like to see you conversions but I can't download it from 4shared. Not safe. Any way you could send me some kind of direct link?
