Converting Bastards and Bloodlines

Okay so a friend mine loaned me his copy of Bastards and Bloodlines and some of the stuff in there is really good. I wonde if anyone has been converting it, and if not, would there be interest in having it converted.


Yes, there is interest. Unfortunately Pathfinder doesn't use LA, so I don't see how you'd convert the races to be PC-friendly without, essentially, completely rewriting them.

True, some would need serious work. I could see races like the Kestral needing very little work though. A tweak here and a nip there and it could fit in very easy. Others like the Sthein or the Mind Ripper might have to be stated up as monsters instead of races though.

Not to mention that some of the stuff in there, like the Blinker or the burrower, has such a high ick factor that I would not try converting them.


Here is what I have thought. +1 ECLs like Tiefling and Aasimar have become base level 0, so ECL +1 would be base 0 CR and ECL. ECLs +2 appear to be on par with CR 1 creatures, so effectively +1 ECL. ECL 4-5 appear to be CR 3 so effectively ECL +3. I haven't had a chance to play test the ECL 4-5.

I'm pretty sure Dreamscarred Press' upcoming "Bloodforge" is a mechanical conversion but with different fluff: http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2rlwg?Dreamscarred-Press-Announces-Bloodforge
