Converting D&D Races


Conversions


How do the "Advanced Race Guide" rules hold up when converting races from D&D (or any other OGL 3.x) source. It seems to me that some of the racial traits of the earlier sources don't have corresponding items for the Pathfinder race building rules.

I'm interested in converting the warforged and illumian to pathfinder. Is there a decent way of determining how many race points to assign to the D&D/d20/OGL3.x racial features, qualities, etc.? Or should I even be worried about such things?


Let me start with the fact that there is (and will be) no such thing as a 'perfect system'. Heck, the Golem misidentifies a 'tauric' creature as a 'quadruped'. I use a deviously different system that values a number of things differently and find it works better. I also stole Umbral Reaver's idea of incorporating the 'race points' into the character creation steps.

A basic point is that you WILL want to clean up the 'race points' with both an eye to not getting lost in translation and tailoring to your game. And remember to post here so we can rip off your work...Bwa ha ha ha!
