Conversion Character

[dhusarra]

hello guys.i have a moon elf 16 rogue/13 fighter in 3.5. how you think will be converted in 2nd edition? keep in mind must be multiclass in ad&d. so what you think?dex 25 without items etc...

I'm not sure about the moon variant, but a straight Elf Fighter/Thief should get you 15/14 or so. I'm not sure about the XP equivalence, it's always a bit moot at high level in AD&D — though the Thief should be 1 level ahead anyways.

you think so eh?i think its a bit little that...i don't know.you can say to me "yes but you have and the cap of elves in max level for each class with the dex bonus)...:).ih the conversion of 2nd to 3rd its like 20 rogue/18 fighter...

you keep the highest and 18/2=9.so its 29 level and you split however you want...

and in 3.5 the shade have 4 ecl so its like 33 level character...its like 23/20...but that in ad&D its beyond measures... :p

find a copy of the old 3rd ed conversion book on line and work backwards, as far as level caps most ppl i knew just ignored them but they were aweful high in 2nd ed iirc anyway.

Build it from scratch on 2e with the 3.5 version in mind, no need for weird calculi.

It's available online I think — it's also useless.

I had forgotten about the racial level limits because I never played in a group which used them.
