Cool, thanks!
I want to run a campaign where the PCs are witches on the run from witch hunters, or vice-versa, with witch being a generic term for unsanctioned magic-users.
Spellhunters are canny combatants that specialize in hunting down and disrupting magic-users of all kinds.

SmiloDan nice conversions next game im Dming im going to allow most of this.
Cool, thanks!
SmiloDan, do you have your version of Eberron Artificer?
I don't think so. Did I make one? I'm pretty unfamiliar with it. I think the closest I've come was a weird spellthief-artificer combo PrC.
What about conversions of Eberron races? Have you done any race conversions at all?
Not really, but I would think Shifters would get +2 Dex, +2 Wis, -2 Int, and get to shift for 4 + Con bonus rounds per day, +2 per additional HD, just like barbarians raging, with +2 racial bonus to Acrobatics and Climb.
I think Changelings would get a floating +2 bonus they can change once a day. They can also spend 1 action point to move that floating +2. Stll get +2 to Bluff, Intimidate, and Sense Motive.
I think Warforged would get +2 Con, +2 Int, -2 Cha, and pretty much stay the same.

Arcane Attunement (Sp). You can use the spell-like powers dancing lights, detect magic, fl are, ghost sound, and read magic a combined total of times per day equal to 3 + your Int modifier. These spell-like powers do not count against your total of spells known or spells per day.
Armored Mage (Ex): Normally, armor of any type interferes with an arcane spellcaster’s gestures, which can cause spells to fail if those spells have a somatic component. A duskblade’s limited focus and specialized training, however, allows you to avoid arcane spell failure so long as you stick to light armor and light shields. This training does not extend to medium or heavy armors, nor to heavy shields. This ability does not apply to spells gained from a different
spellcasting class.
At 7th level, you learn to use medium armor with no chance
of arcane spell failure.
At 13th level, you learn to use a heavy shield with no chance
of arcane spell failure.
At 19th level, you learn to use heavy armor with no chance of arcane spell failure.
Combat Casting: At 2nd level, you gain Combat Casting as a bonus feat.
Arcane Channeling (Su): Beginning at 3rd level, you can use a standard action to cast
any touch spell you know and deliver the spell through your weapon with a melee attack. Casting a spell in this manner does not provoke attacks of opportunity. The spell must have a casting time
of 1 standard action or less. If the melee attack is successful, the attack deals damage normally; then the effect of the spell is resolved.
At 11th level, you can cast any touch spell you know as part of a full attack action, and the spell affects each target you hit in melee combat that round. Doing so discharges the spell at the end of the round, in the case of a touch spell that would otherwise last longer than 1 round.
Spell Power (Ex): Starting at 3rd level, you can more easily overcome the spell resistance of any opponent you successfully injure with a melee attack. If you have injured an opponent with a melee attack, you gain a +1 bonus on your caster level check to overcome spell resistance for the remainder of the encounter. This bonus increases by +1 at 6th level and every 3 levels thereafter.
Quick Cast: Beginning at 4th level, you can cast one spell each day as a swift action, so long as the casting time of the spell is 1 standard action or less. You can use this ability twice per day at 8th level, three times per day at 12th level, four times per day at 16th, five times per day at 20th
level.
Arcane Bond (Su). This is identical to the divine bond ability of the paladin, except the duskblade must choose the weapon option and is not limited to the listed weapon abilities, although he is limited to the level-based plus allotment.
Supernatural Spell (Su). Beginning at 10th level, the duskblade can choose to cast one of his spells as a supernatural effect once per day. A spell converted into a supernatural ability automatically bypasses spell resistance, does not provoke attacks of opportunities, requires no components, and has a Saving Throw DC of 10 + ½ the duskblade’s class level + his Intelligence modifier.
At 14th level, he can use Supernatural Spell twice a day. At 17th level he can use it 3 times a day. At 20th level he can use it 4 times a day.
Supernatural Critical (Su). At 20th level, when the duskblade scores a successful critical hit while using his Channel Spell ability, he can choose to convert it into a Supernatural Spell as an immediate free action. This use of a Supernatural Spell does not count against his daily allotment of them from his Supernatural Spell ability. Alternatively, if the duskblade scores a successful critical hit, he can cast any spell he knows as an immediate action as long as the opponent he scored the critical hit against is targeted by the spell or within its area of effect; this spell is automatically considered a Supernatural Spell and does not count against the duskblade’s daily allotment of Supernatural Spells.

Wounding Critical: The swashbuckler causes 2 points of Constitution damage when she scores a critical hit. The swashbuckler must have either the Weakening Critical or Wobbling Critical improved trick before selecting this greater trick.
Dodge (Ex): At 4th level, the swashbuckler gains a +1 dodge bonus to her AC when she is wearing light armor or no armor. This bonus increases by +1 at 8th level and every 4 levels thereafter.
Combat Strike Mastery (Ex): At 20th level, the swashbuckler automatically confirms any critical hit she scores against an opponent when performing a combat strike.

Wow, man, how do you get these ideas?Lots of whiskey! ;-)
This is how I got my Final Fantasy Tactics homebrew hahahahaha excellent inspiration in a good old gentlemen's jack.
Great work by the way.
I did a conversion for the Shifter and Warforged IF you are still interested nightflier.
SHIFTER
Average Height: 4´12˝–6´6˝
Average Weight: 140 – 155 lb.
+2 Dexterity, +2 Wisdom, -2 Intelligence: Shifters are lithe and wise, but their fundamental bestial nature detracts from their reasoning.
Medium: Shifters are Medium creatures and have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Normal Speed: Shifters have a base land speed of 30 feet.
Low-Light Vision: Shifters can see twice as far as humans in conditions of dim light.
Physical Prowess: Shifters have a +2 racial bonus on Acrobatics and Climb checks.
Shifting (Su): A shifter can shift for a number of rounds per day equal to his Constitution modifier +3. Starting a shift or ending is a free action that can only happen on a characters turn. Each shifter has one of six shifter traits-characteristics that manifest themselves when a character is shifting. Each shifter trait provides a +2 bonus to one of the character’s scores (Strength, Dexterity or Constitution). Every shifter feat a character takes allows her to shift for 1 additional round per day. For every two shifter feats a character takes, the shifter gains a bonus 1 round per day on top of the one gained for the shifter feat itself. In example if a shifter has two shifter feats they can shift for 3 additional rounds per day not 2.
Shifter Traits: Each shifter has one of the following traits:
Beasthide: While shifting, a beasthide shifter gains a +2 bonus to Constitution and natural armor that provides a +2 bonus to AC.
Longtooth: While shifting, a longtooth shifter gains a +2 bonus to Strength and grows fangs that can be used as a natural weapon, dealing 1d6 points of damage (plus an addition +1 for every character level) with a successful bite attack. The shifter cannot attack more than once per round with her bite, even if the base attack bonus is high enough to give multiple attacks.
Cliffwalk: While shifting, a cliffwalk shifter gains a +2 bonus to Dexterity and has a climb speed of 20 feet.
Razorclaw: While shifting, a razorclaw shifter gains a +2 bonus to Strength and grows claws that can be used as natural weapons. These claws deal 1d4 points of damage (plus an additional +1 for every four character levels she has) with each successful attack. She can attack with one claw as a standard action or with two claws as a full attack action (as a primary natural weapon). She cannot attack more than once per round with a single claw, even if the base attack bonus is high enough to give her multiple attacks. She can attack with a claw as a light off-hand weapon while wielding a weapon in her primary hand, but all her attacks in that round take a –2 penalty.
Longstride: While shifting, a longstride shifter gains a +2 bonus to Dexterity and a bonus of +10 feet to her base land speed.
Wildhunt: While shifting, a wildhunt shifter gains a +2 bonus to Constitution and the scent ability. This ability allows the shifter to detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell. A wildhunt shifter can identify familiar odors just as a human does familiar sights. A wildhunt shifter can detect opponents within 30 feet by sense of smell. If the opponent is upwind, the range increases to 60 feet; if downwind, it drops to 15 feet. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be detected at twice the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk or troglodyte stench, can be detected at triple normal range. These stronger scents block other scents, so they can sometimes be used to confuse or hamper this shifter trait.
When a wildhunt shifter detects a scent, the exact location of the source isn’t revealed—only its presence somewhere within range. The shifter can take a move action to note the direction of the scent. Whenever the shifter comes within 5 feet of the source, she pinpoints the source’s location. While shifting, a wildhunt shifter who has the Track feat can follow tracks by smell, making Survival checks to find or follow a trail. The typical DC for a fresh trail is 10 (regardless of the surface that holds the scent). This DC increases or decreases depending on how strong the quarry’s odor is, the number of creatures producing the odor, and the age of the trail. For each hour that the trail grows cold, the DC increases by 2. This ability otherwise follows the rules for the Track feat. Shifters tracking by scent ignore the effects of surface conditions and poor visibility. When not shifting, a wildhunt shifter gains a +2 bonus on Survival checks due to the lingering effects of the scent ability.
Languages Shifters begin play speaking Common. Shifters with high Intelligence scores can choose any of the following: Sylvan, Elven, Gnome and Halfling.
WARFORGED
WARFORGED
Average Medium Height: 5´12˝–6´10˝
Average Medium Weight: 270 – 300 lb.
+2 Constitution, +2 Intelligence, –2 Wisdom: Warforged are resilient and powerful, but their difficulty in relating to other creatures makes them seem aloof or even hostile.
Medium: As Medium constructs, warforged have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Normal Speed: Warforged have a base land speed of 30 feet.
Living Construct Subtype: Warforged are constructs with the living construct subtype. A living construct is a created being given sentience and free will through powerful and complex creation enchantments. Warforged are living constructs who combine aspects of both constructs and living creatures, as detailed below:
• Unlike other constructs, a warforged has a Constitution score.
• Unlike other constructs, a warforged does not have low-light vision or darkvision.
• Unlike other constructs, a warforged is not immune to mind-affecting spells and abilities.
• As a living construct, a warforged can be raised or resurrected.
• Immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, disease, nausea, fatigue, exhaustion, effects that cause the sickened condition and energy drain.
• A warforged cannot heal lethal damage naturally.
• Unlike other constructs, warforged are subject to critical hits, nonlethal damage, stunning, ability damage, ability drain, death effects, and necromancy effects.
• As living constructs, warforged can be affected by spells that target living creatures as well as by those that target constructs. Damage dealt to a warforged can be healed by a cure light wounds spell or a repair light damage spell, for example, and a warforged is vulnerable to disable construct and harm. However, spells from the healing subschool and supernatural abilities that cure hit point damage or ability damage provide only half their normal effects to a warforged.
• A warforged does not need to eat, sleep, or breathe, but he can still benefit from the effects of consumable spells and magic items such as heroes’ feast and potions.
• Although living constructs do not need to sleep, a warforged wizard must rest for 8 hours before preparing spells.
Light Fortification: When a critical hit or sneak attack is scored on a warforged, there is a 25% chance that the critical hit or sneak attack is negated and damage is instead rolled normally.
Natural Attack: A warforged has a natural weapon in the form of a slam attack that deals 1d4 points of damage.
Composite Plating: The plating used to build a warforged provides a +2 armor bonus. This plating is not natural armor and does not stack with other effects that give an armor bonus (other than natural armor). This composite plating occupies the same space on the body as a suit of armor or a robe, and thus a warforged cannot benefit from the effects of magic armor or magic robes. Composite plating can gain a magic enhancement bonus and magic armor properties as armor can, using the Craft Magic Arms and Armor feat. The character must be present for the entire time it takes to add this enhancement. In addition, spells and infusions that normally target armor, such as magic vestment and armor enhancement, can be cast with the composite plating of a warforged character as the target.
Composite plating also provides a warforged with a 5% arcane spell failure chance, similar to the penalty for wearing light armor. Any class ability that allows a warforged to ignore the arcane spell failure chance for light armor lets him ignore this penalty as well.
Unusual Physical Construction: Warforged makes them vulnerable to certain spells and effects that normally don’t affect living creatures. A warforged takes damage from heat metal and chill metal as if he were wearing metal armor. Likewise, a warforged is affected by repel metal or stone as if he were wearing metal armor. A warforged is repelled by repel wood. The iron in the body of a warforged makes him vulnerable to rusting grasp, taking 2d6 points of damage from the spell (Reflex half; save DC 14 + caster’s ability modifier). A warforged takes the same damage from a rust monster’s touch (Reflex DC 17 half). Spells such as stone to flesh, stone shape, warp wood, and wood shape affect objects only and thus cannot be used on a warforged.
Internal System: A warforged responds slightly differently from other living creatures when reduced to 0 hit points. A warforged with 0 hit points is disabled, as with a living creature. He can take only a single move action or standard action in each round, but strenuous activity does not risk further injury. When his hit points are less than 0 and greater than –10, a warforged is inert. He is unconscious and helpless, and cannot perform any actions. An inert warforged does not lose additional hit points unless more damage is dealt to him, however, as with a living creature that has become stable.
Immortal: As artificial creatures, warforged suffer none of the drawbacks and gain none of the benefits of aging. They never die of natural causes, and they are immune to any attacks or effects that age a character.
WARFORGED (SMALL)
Average Small Height: 3’2” – 4’00”
Average Small Weight: 40- 70 lb.
+2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, +2 Intelligence, -2 Strength, –2 Wisdom: Warforged are resilient and agile, but they are weaker than their taller counterpart.
Small: Warforged are Small creatures and gain a +1 size bonus to their AC, a +1 size bonus on attack rolls, a –1 penalty to their Combat Maneuver Bonus and Combat Maneuver Defense, and a +4 size bonus on Stealth checks.
Slow Speed: Warforged have a base land speed of 20 feet.
Enhanced Agility: Warforged receive a +2 racial bonus on Acrobatics and Escape Artist checks. (This ability replaces the Natural Attack)
Languages: Warforged begin play speaking Common. Warforged do not receive any extra languages at character creation.
