Converting Pathfinder to D&D (spoilers)

Let me start by saying that I love Pathfinder. I love that the Paizo guys are continuing the fine tradition of pulling in non-core information and integrating it in such a way that it feels organic and logical.

But, I don't own any third party supplements. Instead, I have stacks and stacks of 3e and 3.5 books. And in the interest of squeezing every last drop of utility out of such books, I want to convert the OGL elements into WotC elements.

So far, the most I've come up with is replacing the theurge class with the montebank from the Dragon Compendium. Has anyone else looked into making such changes? Folks at Paizo, can you tell us what you would have used from WotC materials if they were OGL?


Sorry to threadjack, but I've actually been wondering about the references to the "theurge" if PF1. Do they mean the "Mystic Theurge" PrC from the DMG, or am i missing something?

hmmm... Well I'm not quite sure why you would want to since all pertinent abilities are described in full in her stat block. But, It looks like the theurge class uses cleric lists & domains and just has a focus on summon monster spells. I would convert her to a priest, treat her corruptions as some type of a template applied to her stats, and make sure she has a variety of summon spells available.

Now the only caveat to my answer is that I haven't actually looked at the Montebank. Maybe it is a better fit?


the Thaumaturge class that Erylium has is a class from the book of fiends which is almost exactly like the cleric class, except that the character gets "corruptions" as it gians levels, and as asuch cleric is probably the best replacement for it.
