3.5 to Paizo Conversion of "Edge of Anarchy"

[stjstone]

Has anyone created a 3.5 to Paizo conversion document for "Edge of Anarchy" and the other chapters of CotCT? I don't want to duplicate work if I don't have to.

James or Jason said just give it a try without converting anything to see how that plays out.
That's what I'm doing. So far no problems. I haven't noticed anything that needs to be changed. (yet)

Yeah; running Curse of the Crimson Throne using the Pathfinder Alpha rules but NOT going in and making conversions or changes to the actual adventure is, in fact, a VERY IMPORTANT playtest scenario. After all... we want 3.5 and PF RPG products to be able to go both ways.

I am for one planning to run the entire campaign with Pathfinder rpg rules, without changing anything written in the adventures. I only have the first adventure in my hands by now, but I'm excited to see how it works out.

I had to beef up the first few encounters a little more than I would in 3.5, but I also have a bigger party

I'm currently in the middle of running Rise of the Runelords as a Pathfinder playtest. The only thing I've changed is that NPCs with class levels get an extra Hit Die worth of hit points, since I'm using the 2HD+Con hit point option. I'm most of the way through "Burnt Offerings" right now, and we haven't hit any snags at all. I'm going to go ahead and say that "Edge of Anarchy" would be about the same. Backward compatibility achieved. /wipes hands/ ^_^

I'm in the process of starting an alpha playtest campaign and I plan on running the Rise of the Runelords adventure path. The only conversions I intend to make are the addition of racial bonus hit points to NPC with heroic class levels. I'm also going to boost the number of goblins somewhat to compensate for the added power of the PC:s.

The campaign page is unfortunately in Finnish, but if you're interested in taking a peek anyway, it can be found here.

Yep, once I have the complete beta we are starting a new campaign around Curse using the full beta rules. No changes at all. Currently we use the races and all I did was remove the Aasimar's ECL penalty and we have had no issues with that.

Is someone playing a full conversion playtest for Edge of Anarchy?
It can be usefull to test how easy is converting NPCs.
Comparing both kind of playtest can be usefull to know how much changes the challenge rating of the game using one or another option.

I just wanted to revisit this topic since several things work a little differently in PFRPG. How are people handling conversion of the various poisons and diseases? Has anyone applied a fast or full conversion to NPCs?

If anyone has a link or knowledge of a Pathfinder conversion from the 3.5 rules for the Curse of the Crimson Throne adventure path, please do tell. There is a fledgling DM that wishes to use this one as her starter stepping stone and I want to try and make it as smooth a process for her, been searching awhile now and she's to start the game soon.

Thanks all.

I don't have stats saved anywhere, but I'm still running it as I said above... calculate CMB and CMD before the fight and add 1 HD worth of hit points, and you're ready to go (the second adventure might take a little more.

[Alizor]

I've been doing "full conversions" for CotCT for quite a while. Posting my stat blocks probably wouldn't help too much however because I'm running it for two gestalt characters. I also took some liberty in redoing a few of the characters to make them a little harder (yes I'm an evil DM... I love to make it really really tough, then fudge some rolls right before the party gets into really dire straits so they can win.)

[DM_aka_Dudemeister]

I just calculate manoeuvre bonuses and add 6 hit points. Seems to work okay so far.
