Arcane Dragons


Conversions


I'm wondering if anyone has converted the Tome and Hex Dragons from Dragon Magazine #343 to Pathfinder rules? I'm thinking of including these in a new setting I'm working on. With the Witch class, I'm thinking a Hex dragon would make a very promising "patron". Before I go digging through my books I figured I check out there to see if anyone has laid the ground work.

I was just looking at these dragons this week, as well as the Time dragons and the Greyhawk dragons and wondering the same thing. I was also considering them for a new campaign setting I am working on as the theme of these fit the world of my imagining more so than most of the delivered ones.

I will tell you that I haven't the slightest clue about how to go about converting these to PFRPG.

Well, a straight conversion shouldn't be too hard. I think the spell casting ability would be a bit lower than the original versions for the Arcane Dragons (at least that's my suspicion).

I was looking over the basic dragon rules, but I'm just not sure if I want to put the effort into the conversion, at this point.

There's also some of the planar dragons that I wouldn't mind converting, if I have to. Maybe that will be my next side project. LOL

Well, after much humdrum and debating, I've decided to step out on a limb and make my own versions of the Arcane dragons. I am posting them on my blog arthrosgames.com if anyone is interested.
