Arcana Evolved Races in Pathfinder

[xellos]

I was wondering, has anyone attempted to use any of the Arcana Evolved races in Pathfinder? I have a couple of players who have expressed an interest, and really has her heart set on it. I was wondering if people have made many modifications or dropped them in.

Thanks!

I've recently been mulling over the idea of using the AE setting for a Pathfinder game, though I was going to just use the PF races with some tweaks rather than do a full race conversion. I'd be interested in seeing a conversion though if someone did one.

The litorians have been converted already.

I want the Giants converted...

I'm currently playing a Golarion "gnome", with that race's first world fey background intact, though using AE's faen's racial crunch. The way I see it, the faen more accurately live up to the gnomes' fey background as presented in Pathfinder than the 3.5 holdover gnomes actually do; so it seems a natural fit.

We've further elaborated on this transposition by using the faen spryte as a stand-in for Golarion's lyrakien; Desna's tiny faerie-like servitors. Effectively this makes lyrakien direct relatives of gnomes; a detail which I believe only gives added depth to both races. The story we've introduced to explain the link is that Desna offers the sprytes' metamorphosis as a gift of sorts to faithful gnomes as a means to grant them immortality and an escape from the bleaching in exchange for their loyalty and ability to reproduce.

In the Company of Giants always reminds me of the giants in AE.

I toyed with the idea, but it was sometime during Beta, and I tried to find a way to go with the new +2/+2/-2 paradigm by adding in common attribute bumps in the racial levels, and some of the other racial level abilities as things to be gained through racial feats.

I'm not at all thrilled with the result, but it might serve as a launching point for your own ideas.

I do try to show our AE roots in the both the Litorians coversion and in the In The Company of Giants.

We wanted to do the Faen next but it fell through.

Glad to know folks enjoyed the books.

i normally hate dragon-races but the fluff on the ones in AE are great. i plan on using them / converting them when the advanced race guide comes out.

i initially don't plan on using them AE style with the evolved levels, etc. but who knows how it will pan out.

Ooh, I had forgot about AE races for when we get the ARG, sweet!!

I think all of the races from AE got updated to Pathfinder in Heroes of the Jade Oath (I did the conversion on about half of them). It was originally intended to an AE product before Pathfinder was announced. Some of them have different names to better match the setting.
