| ''This page details how we converted some of the basics from the 3.5-based ''Ptolus'' to the ''Pathfinder'' system. As these systems are extremely similar, we didn't need to do much.''
| | __NOTOC__ |
| | This page is an experiment, contemplating how the characters of the [[campaign::Dissolution]] campaign could be converted to the ''[http://www.dungeon-world.com/ Dungeon World]'' system, specifically using the variant character rules from ''[https://redboxvancouver.wordpress.com/2014/10/14/class-warfare-character-and-class-creation-for-dungeon-world/ Class Warfare]'' as described in the [[Ptolus Dungeon World]] conversion document. |
|
| |
|
| == Sources ==
| | As 13th level ''Pathfinder'' characters, all of the characters will be converted into 7th level ''Dungeon World'' characters. I'm thinking of handling gear and magic items by saying each character can have a number of custom moves equal to their level that are supplied by their gear. Most characters would probably also get a couple of moves related to their social background as well. |
|
| |
|
| Many had walked this ground before us, so we made liberal use of changes posted to forums and so on. This was usually tweaked a bit.
| | == Characters == |
|
| |
|
| * ''Hydromaster113'''s conversions of [http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2jytm?Ptolus-elves-plus-racial-feats#1 elves] and [http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2jytr?Ptoluss-Dwarves-Plus-Racial-Feats#1 dwarves] and [http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2jxqx?Natural-weapon-feats-Ptolus-races-without-ELs#1 others] formed the basis of our race conversions.
| | === Caralaria === |
| * We made a pass at using ''Pathfinder's'' [http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/arg-creating-new-races race creation system].
| |
| * The [http://paizo.com/products/btpy89m6?Pathfinder-Roleplaying-Game-Conversion-Guide conversion guide] offers tips for converting 3.5 content to Pathfinder, particularly useful for prestige classes.

| | Base damage: d8<br/> |
| | Load: 10+STR<br/> |
| | HP: 8+Constitution |
|
| |
|
| The biggest change for races is that ''Pathfinder'' doesn't use level adjustments for playable races, but later came up with a "racial point" system. Note that features with the same name as existing racial features can be still be substituted with appropriate alternate racial traits.

In the past, assarai born with this mutation were abandoned and left to die; however, more and more city-dwelling assarai now frown on this practice. As it happens, the mutation provides some benefit in mix-race, urban environments, making "frail" assarai less threatening to other races. Of course, what an assarai considers "frail" is still just as hardy as, say, a human. This feature, while providing no benefit or penalty of its own, replaces the Natural Armor, Scavenger and Claws traits. This brings the RP total for a frail assarai to 10 RP, making it a Standard race.

|
| == Prestige Classes ==
| | * One about the malady, which is mostly underway. |
| | | * One based around the sword of lies. |
| Most prestige classes convert fairly easily and obviously to ''Pathfinder'', but need the attention as prestige classes use different progressions than they did in 3.5.
| | * Harrow elves. |
| | | * Power vacuums in city. |
| * Forsaken shigmaa may be used almost as is, with the following changes:
| | * Shuul or golems or something becoming "warlords" in the city during plague? |
| ** Alter all saving throw progressions to use the standard prestige class "good" progression (starts at +1, ends at +5).
| | * |
| * The Inverted Pyramid classes convert readily, but have the following changes: | |
| ** Each class uses d6 hit dice, not d4.
| |
| ** Subtract three from the required ranks of Knowledge (Arcana) and Spellcraft. (Pathfinder replaced the "four ranks at first level" for skills assumed by these classes with just giving a +3 bonus to trained class skills.)
| |
| * Knights of the Chord can be used as is, with the following changes:
| |
| ** Uses d10 for hit dice, not d8.
| |
| ** Requires only 6 ranks of Perform. | |
| ** Replace the save progression with the standard prestige class "good" progression for Fortitude and "bad" for Reflex and Will (same as, say, the Eldritch Knight). | |
| ** Add a bonus combat feat at third and seventh levels. | |
| ** Knights of the Chord class levels are included when calculating the bonus provided by Bardic Knowledge and save DCs for Bardic Performance.
| |
| * [[Knight of the Pale (Pathfinder)|Knight of the Pale]]
| |
| | |
| == Skills ==
| |

| |
| | |
| == Technology ==
| |
| | |
| The "Technology" chapter in ''Ptolus'' works fine in Pathfinder as is, with the following addition:
| |
| | |
| '''Firearm Familiarity''': This alternate racial trait (2 RP) provides the character with Exotic Weapon Proficiency (firearms) as a bonus feat. Dwarves (all types) may select this trait, replacing Weapon Familiarity. Gnomes may select this trait, replacing Weapon Familiarity and Hatred.
