CUnknown Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Re: [Compilation] "to Fantasy HERO Conversions & Adaptations" I don't know if anyone is interested or not, but I have done a lot of work converting D&D to Hero--something along the lines of what Killer Shrike has done. It's not a 1:1 conversion at all, it's not like fighters get x amount of Body a level or whatever... it's more of a "feel" conversion. I tried to take the feel of D&D and replace the mechanics with the vastly superior Hero ones. I've converted classes (in a very loose way), races, monsters, spells, etc. Classes are generally based on a particular knowledge skill that may be used on occasion, but typically is just a waste of points. In this way, a lower level character may in fact be more powerful than a higher level one due to the fact that he/she has less 'wasted' points. Of course all the truely powerful abilities are only available at higher levels, though. The figher class, for example, is based on KS: Combat. I will sometimes let it be used as an analyze: combat skill, but its primary function is to tell you what level you are. If you have a full INT-based KS: Combat, you're 1st level. If you have 5 points in it, you're 2nd level, if you have 7 points in it, you're 3rd level, and so on. The levels allow you to get access to better skills/powers that are not available at lower levels, such as certain combat maneuvers and so on. As you can see, it's fairly easy to "gain levels" under this system, but the level alone gives you nothing. It's all about getting access to powers you can purchase at certain levels. If anyone is interested, I can start posting the classes (in a different thread, I suppose). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is interested, I can start posting the classes (in a different thread, I suppose). If you prefer, you can put them on the Hero Wiki - I've just finished updating the "to FH" page - http://www.curufea.com/hero/doku.php?id=conversions:fantasy_hero I recommend putting your D&D conversion here- http://www.curufea.com/hero/doku.php?id=resources:fantasy_hero Then click on the red link (red meaning there is no page there yet). (put a link on a page and you create a new page) You can find out about DokuWiki and how to edit pages here- http://www.curufea.com/hero/doku.php?id=wiki:syntax You DO NOT need to register or login to create or edit pages. But if the Wiki starts getting abused, it may change in the future to reduce spamming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUnknown Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Re: [Compilation] "to Fantasy HERO Conversions & Adaptations" So, I posted the title page and Fighter class to that link I was given. Thanks for the forum to share my wacky Hero ideas. It looks like it will take a long while just to copy everything over and set up the formatting, so I suppose I'll do it a little at a time. What I've posted so far is 2 pages of a 20+ page Class system, not including the races, spell system, monsters, house rules, etc. I've been able to playtest it lately, and things are modified constantly.
