The most frustrating part of this conversion was the fact that Merisiel's not dumb anymore. Not only did that violate the concept somewhat, but it made her awfully skilled at things I didn't really think she should be skilled at. Like Kyra, Meri wound up with some extra feat room because she was spending feat slots on things she got for free - in this case, Weapon Finesse. Using the extra room to give her some of the CMB-related feats mean that, even without any specific maneuver feats, she is quite capable of performing some showy moves - it's actually as easy (or hard) for her to pull off a disarm or grapple against Valeros as vice versa.

There's no doubt that Meri gained by the conversion overall. A huge bump to her hit points, significantly increased access to her sneak attacks and bonus effects to use with them - all very helpful. Merisiel's also the character with the greatest reliance on gear for bonuses to non-combat actions - it will be interesting to see how her armor and boots wind up translating when we see magic item rules.


Damn good, nicely done, very nicely done.
