Converting 4th edition D&D to Pathinder

[Andrew Styles]

I've been working on getting a new group together, and Pathfinder is my go to system to run. Most of my players want to play in the Neverwinter campaign setting, but WoTC never released a 3.5 edition, only 4th. I know that I can't just plop 4th edition monsters and encounters into Pathfinder for obvious reasons, and I don't feel experienced enough as a DM to do my own conversions and make them fair. Are there any other forum posts or websites that can help me convert 4th edition to Pathfinder? Even just tips would be extremely useful. Many thanks in advance!

(Edit: Also, if there are any Neverwinter-ish campaign settings for 3.5 of Pathfinder, those would be appreciated.)

Just use the 3e books. 3e to pathfinder is MUCH easier than 4e to pathfinder.

You may have missed the point. He wants to use the Neverwinter stuff which is only fourth.

Try this, find the Neverwinter creature you care about and note CR. Find a similar creature with the same CR that has a third edition counterpart.

In the third edition critter replace the relevant bits with the Neverwinter creature stats.

Post your conversion for others.
