Dissolution 13th Age

This page is an experiment, contemplating how the characters of the Dissolution campaign could be converted to the 13th Age system. It makes use of the information in the Ptolus 13th Age Conversion. As 13th level Pathfinder characters, all of the characters will be converted into 6th level 13th Age characters, with two incremental advances to 7th level (the +1 to three attributes and the ability to wield an additional magic item). Characters are listed below with the easiest to convert first.

Lostwhite

As a typical two-handed fighter, Lostwhite converts fairly easily. One thing that jumps out immediately is that her One Unique Thing and backgrounds instantly give her more depth.

Backgrounds: Student of Kesh Wol +5, Fashion Sense +2, Devotee of the Lady +1

• resurgence belt (champion, waist chakra, recharge 16+): when you drop to 0 hit points or lower, heal using a recovery before falling unconscious. Quirk: occasionally bursts forth with wildly optimistic comments.
• boots of ferocious charge (champion, foot chakra): whenever you move to engage a foe first and then make a melee attack against it during the same turn, you deal +2d8, hit or miss. Quirk: likes to start fights as much as finishing them.
• ring of defense (champion, left ring chakra, recharge 6+): when you take damage from an attack, prevent 20 of that damage. Quirk: stubborn.
• +3 greater striking dire flail (epic, two slots, weapon chakra, trigger: hit when escalation 3+): deal +4d8 damage. Quirk: enjoys being spattered by blood and gore.

Sikarsis

As a typical healing cleric, Sikarsis is a fairly easy conversion. The one hiccup is that his race needs converted.
