I'm actually in the process of converting most of WoW's classes for Pathfinder or finding ways to "just make them work".
Of course, I'm revising the base races as well - WoW Orcs are just not the same as Orcs from Golarion or even Half-Orcs.
By thw ay, Forsaken are hard to convert, to say the least.
I'll let the forums know soon as I'm done.
;-)
The WoW D20 books can be a great starter for this. I have a copy, of course. :)

Those that are pushed back 5 ft or more must make a reflex save (DC 27) or else fall prone and are dazed for 1 round. If the space is occupied, the creature automatically falls prone in its space. (The DC is strength based)

Vazruden guards the vital line of supplies, messages, and forces flowing between Hellfire Citidel and the Black Temple. Astride his magnificent nether drake Nazan, Vazruden presents an unstoppable aerial force of fire, claws, and shrieking terror.
Editor Notes and Thoughts:
So Here we have the final boss(s) of the infamous Hellfire Ramparts, Vazruden and Nazan. The trickiest part about this was having to tweak the fiendish template (used the wow rpg book for help). The template is included below. These two work well together, with Nazan providing some buffs to make Vazruden a tougher enemy for a group of adventurers. Leave your feed back and suggestions below.

Missed this before, dot!
I would like to see Arthas done for PF. Also a reasonable conversion of the Death Knight and Warlock classes for PF.
DKs can be panel beaten from different classes/archetypes but it feels very hamfisted. They scream to be a full BAB class with 4 spellcasting levels like a Ranger or Paladin. Warlocks could be reskinned Summoners with a customised archetype IMHO. Mechanically though they probably do not fit PF as well though.
Anti paladin archtype.
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/alternate-classes/antipaladin/archetypes/pa izo---antipaladin-archetypes/knight-of-the-sepulcher
I have many times tossed around the idea of WoW in Pathfinder. And with WoW now up to level 100, I thought of doing the level as WoW/5, so it would be:
WoW 60 = PF 12
WoW 70 = PF 14
WoW 80 = PF 16
WoW 85 = PF 17
WoW 90 = PF 18
WoW 100 = PF 20
Of course, that would be for players.
Warlocks would seem to make sense as a summoner archetype, but their demon minions don't quite synch with what the summoner's eidolon is. That might change with the Unchained Summoner, but I don't know. Treating the warlock's minion similar to a druid's animal companion, to me, makes sense. They would just have access to all their demons at 1st level (minus the doomguard and infernal, as they are temporary summons without the specific level 100 talent).
The WoW RPG books are a good starting point, but they aren't a very good approximation of what's in the game (races mostly, as well as quite a bit of the classes). The different talent specs could easily be made into archetypes.
In my attempts over the past couple years, I admittedly ignore most of what came with the Cataclysm expansion (personal preference) and go for the pre-Cataclysm things, such as the races and class abilities (plus the worgen, goblin, pandaren and monk). I did a few conversions of a few of the monsters in the couple bestiaries that were published for the 3rd edition ruleset, but haven't touched that in a year. Luckily, wowpedia still has pages with pre-Cataclysm information. I saved a number of images of the maps before that expansion was released, and made attempts at combining them into a world map (including the various parts added in Cataclysm, though without all that damage). Azeroth's climates don't make much sense.
The OP is still active in the forums, but I don't know if he continued with this project or abandoned it 1.5 years ago when the last post before the necro was posted.
So just by chance I was typing in wow related stuff and seen that this post was still active. I'm glad people enjoyed my work
So I thought I'd share an update since it has been so long
I am currently working on a few projects for the new conversion
Sylvannas Windrunner
A number of WOW Races such as the Pandaran, Goblins, Tauren, Trolls.
and I've been kinda picking at my own characters (like my orc warrior)
If anyone is interested in working with me, as I am having problems designing Arthas, just shoot me an mail :)
in the meantime, stay tunned :D

lvl 20 PF = lvl 60 WoW
lvl 25 PF = lvl 70 WoW
lvl 30 PF = lvl 80 WoW
lvl 33 PF = lvl 85 WoW
What led you to this conversion system?
WoW characters never really reach the potential that 20th level Pathfinder characters have, let along Level20+Mythic10.
WoW characters live in a game with very widely scaling numbers, sure, but those numbers don't really mean much in the setting, they're just an abstract out-of-character mechanic disconnected from anything in-setting.
Honestly, I would say that PC WoW characters never make it past level 11 or so. Someone like Medivh I'd put at around 15 or 16, and someone like Sargeras would be a CR 28-30 demon-lord equivalent. Deathwing I'd probably assign a CR around 25ish, like the Tarrasque.
that convert you posted is incorrect now. these days i find it easier just to divide everything by 5 as it creates a seemless ratio.
lvl 60 - 12
lvl 70 - 14
lvl 80 - 16
lvl 90 - 18
lvl 100 - 20
for raid bosses i usually just create a cr 20+ depending on when the villain was released.
|
|
depending on when the villain was released.
Why should that matter?
The stats raid bosses are given in-game are just based on when it was released and what the level range was at the time, not any kind of accurate depiction of how powerful they are in the setting.
The numbers just keep going up because of the expectation that every expansion will increase the level range so people have to grind their way up to the new endgame content.
Actually, it would be good if they set up dungeons/raids to be based on whatever the current level range was rather than what it was at their initial release. Then people would then have reasons to actually access the older game content, which is otherwise completely irrelevant today.
I agree. i use the warcraft rpg to gelp my conversions aswell. according to the "manual of monsters" The lich king is a CR 50.
but then again this is the way im doing it, and its easier for me to covert this way.
arthas would probably be around a cr 23 - 25.
kil jaden as a demon lord around a 28
and sargaras is a titan. a god
in the end its all for fun.

Fair enough.
I hope to have something posted tonight if my scheduale permits it. Its not Sylvannas but something I still think people will enjoy

So here is one of the many things I've been working on. It is the Dreanei race, and I thought it came very close to how the game depicts them.
And to show off the new race, here is Vindicator Karessa
Should be 1/day. wrote down the wrong ability. Ill fix that

Titans that exist in this game are from CR21 - 22, but they could easily be stand-ins for gods. That whole thing about gods can't be statted is really for Golarion gods, not necessarily for all gods in any setting or universe.
|
CR 50 in the warcraft monster manual is grossly exaggerated for the Lich King...yeah it would be like CR 25 at most in pathfinder. If you want to toss mythic stuffs on Arthas, you can push him to higher cr.
I tend to agree that it is better to not take the scaling of the game too seriously. As they simply increase levels to make it more entertaining.
Kael'sThas is legendary but if you use the scale of the game, he is a chump by nowadays standards. I'm sure if you include in your game, you would make it more interesting than a CR 12 encounter.
The titans in Warcraft are close enough to the titans in Pathfinder power level wise, just give them a cosmetic metallic skin. Toss in levels or switch around spells list depending on what kind of titan you want.
Just my opinion of course, feel free to proceed as you see fit.
well i might revisit some of my previous work then.
I have been thinking about about certain "bosses" should be more power. especially for the converting to pathfinder.
However i still think certian people deserve there higher CR like Ragnaros since hes an elemental lord
I would establish the level parameters of the WoW universe first. Say 20th level with Mythic. Then scale each thing, boss, NPC appropriately within the Lore, largely disregarding their levels in the MMO.
Ragnaros should indeed be a fairly powerful end-gamey threat, but you could skew him to the lower end of end-game, as he was one of the first to appear. That's a bit meta, but forgivable and nostalgic.
Incidentally, if you plan on using Mythic, I think it appropriate to start giving the PCs Mythic levels fairly early, as a reflection of the epicness they have within the Lore. And of course, the Mythic rules are a great way to show the bossness of signature bosses in WoW.
honestly im not a huge fan of mythic, but i do see the appeal to use it on bosses.
thanks for the feedback. the more i get the better

A quick rundown of tiers of power in my mind, not an exact science but here's my ballpark opinion:
The God tier: [Generally CR 22+]
-Sargeras obviously [CR 30] if one boss deserves to have mythic tiers and the like it is definitely him.
-Old Gods [Pathfinder have templates also to make great old ones as well, see cthulhu, Hashtur etc...]
-Titans [Pathfinder have many kind of titans ranging from cr 21 to 24, toss template or class levels at them, when necessary, with CR 25 being the upper end of the titans.]
-Malfurion [one if not the only racial leader reaching this level of power.]
The Very Strong ones: [CR 18-24]
-Demon Lords, the demon lords in WoW are more like Nascent demon lords compared to full on demon lords in pathfinder. Bonus you should consider using Nemesis devil as the basis for many of the Demonlords. They actually look like them and can grant false domains.
-Elemental Lords (Ragnaros)
-Legendary Heroes and some racial leaders [Gul'Dan, Grommash, The Lich King, etc...]
-Aspects of the Dragonflight
The Strong ones: [CR 15-21]
-Racial leaders
-Dragons
-Many of the Legendary Liches
-Doom Guards, etc...
-Moderately powerful Heroes [Yrel, Nerzhul before his lich king transformation etc...]
A quick rundown of tiers of power in my mind, not an exact science but here's my ballpark opinion:
Well Summed up, I must say.
Follows the general outline I use for my campaign setting.
I know I said I was working on others for this thread, but since then alot of good points were brought up by the folks that enjoy this thread. :)
So I decided to go back and revisit my first conversion....
Deathwing the Destoryer
"Pain... Agony... My hatred burns through the cavernous deeps. The world heaves with my torment. Its wretched kingdoms quake beneath my rage. But at last... The whole of Azeroth will break... And all will burn beneath the shadow of my wings."
Again, love comments.
Looking good, only one thing, you don't need to strike down the spell, remember since it casts like a sorcerer, not spell prepared.
Yea I did that for me, so I know what he has cast on himself already
|
"Pain... Agony... My hatred burns through the cavernous deeps. The world heaves with my torment. Its wretched kingdoms quake beneath my rage. But at last... The whole of Azeroth will break... And all will burn beneath the shadow of my wings."
This guy is terrifying so good work there. :)
Any chance that you could be convinced to do the other aspects?
I have my version of the Forsaken of which I created my undead warrior with. Now I have to drum up some of my other characters and see if they can put Deathwing down!
This guy is terrifying so good work there. :)Any chance that you could be convinced to do the other aspects?
Ya I could, just takes time and they aren't my favorite characters. You should post your version of the forsaken though, would love to see it
|
|
Mind you I don't call them that. I call them the Risen, and while I took inspiration from the Forsaken it's not a true conversion. I'll post the race any way, and I'll post my character later.
Risen Racial Traits
+2 Constitution, +2 Intelligence, -4 Charisma: While hardy, and extremely intelligent, the Risen are often shunned due to their looks by outsiders thus giving them a somewhat jaded view of the world.
Medium: As Medium creatures, Risen have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Normal Speed: A Risen’s base land speed is 30 ft.
Risen: Risen are considered undead, in addition to being humanoids, for any effect related to race.
Darkvision: Risen can see in the dark up to 60 feet.
Touched by Death: Risen gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against disease and mind-affecting effects. They also take no penalties from energy-draining effects, though they can still be killed if they accrue more negative levels than they have Hit Dice. After 24 hours, any negative levels they’ve gained are removed without any additional saving throws. Risen are harmed by positive energy and healed by negative energy. If a Risen gains the fast healing special quality they will still benefit from it.
Will of the Risen: Risen gain a +2 racial bonus on all saving throws against fear effects.
Memories of the Past: Risen have past lives that grant them two particular Knowledge skills. Each Risen picks two Knowledge skills. They gain a +2 racial bonus on both of these skills, and those skills are treated as class skills regardless of what class the Risen actually takes.
Breath of the Dead: Members of this race can hold their breath for a number of rounds equal to four times their Constitution score before risking drowning or suffocating.
Languages: Risen begin play speaking Common and Risen. Risen with a high Intelligence score can choose from the following: Abyssal, Aklo, Celestial, Draconic, Infernal or Undercommon.

Mind you I don't call them that. I call them the Risen, and while I took inspiration from the Forsaken it's not a true conversion. I'll post the race any way, and I'll post my character later.
Risen Racial Traits
+2 Constitution, +2 Intelligence, -4 Charisma: While hardy, and extremely intelligent, the Risen are often shunned due to their looks by outsiders thus giving them a somewhat jaded view of the world.Medium: As Medium creatures, Risen have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Normal Speed: A Risen’s base land speed is 30 ft.
Risen: Risen are considered undead, in addition to being humanoids, for any effect related to race.
Darkvision: Risen can see in the dark up to 60 feet.
Touched by Death: Risen gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against disease and mind-affecting effects. They also take no penalties from energy-draining effects, though they can still be killed if they accrue more negative levels than they have Hit Dice. After 24 hours, any negative levels they’ve gained are removed without any additional saving throws. Risen are harmed by positive energy and healed by negative energy. If a Risen gains the fast healing special quality they will still benefit from it.
Will of the Risen: Risen gain a +2 racial bonus on all saving throws against fear effects.
Memories of the Past: Risen have past lives that grant them two particular Knowledge skills. Each Risen picks two Knowledge skills. They gain a +2 racial bonus on both of these skills, and those skills are treated as class skills regardless of what class the Risen actually takes.
Breath of the Dead: Members of this race can hold their breath for a number of rounds equal to four times their Constitution score before risking drowning or suffocating.
Languages: Risen begin play speaking Common and Risen. Risen with a high Intelligence score can choose from the following: Abyssal, Aklo, Celestial, Draconic, Infernal or Undercommon.
I really like this verison for the forsaken aswell. So I think i'm going to use it for that if ya don't mind :)

So I used that Link as the guide, plus added gear and worked out all the other stuff. It was a pain in the ass to put together!
But I do hope you all enjoy
"Let this be your first lesson. I have no love for you or your people. On the contrary, I intend to scour humanity from this planet, and make no mistake: I have the power to do it."
As I promised several weeks ago, I had been working on Sylvannas Windrunner. One could argue she is one of the most popular characters in all of Warcraft.
So here she is, the Dark Lady herself
"I was once a Farstrider. I swore an oath to defend Silvermoon and its people to my dying breath. It was not enough. My homeland, still, burned. But those days are long past, and history will not repeat itself. I am Sylvanas Windrunner, queen of the Forsaken. And if you will not serve me in this life, then you will do so in the next."

Here's the first race as I thought it would be fairly straight forward to do. The Bronzebeard clan of Dwarves. Fundamentally identical to standard Pathfinder Dwarves aside from the difference in ability score modifiers. The World of Warcraft table-top rpg was used as the initial source but had the addition of being compared to the current racial traits in the mmorpg.
