hey there, love what you done with ad&d 3e, a big fan of it. say, i would like to know how your process to create new playable species (it would be better said how to convert playable races into this edition, as well as how to convert old or new kits or specializations into this)
I try to balance them against existing AD&D3 races… including races like drow that have a level adjustment.
If you send some races that you’d like me to convert, I’d be happy to post them (though it won’t be until next week, since I’m away on vacation).
well, so far, there are a few that i might be interested, but they’re simple enough that i can do so myself. but one thing that i found odd was that in this edition some of the species still have level adjustment, which, i’m not really to fond off, as in the end, it only hampers character progression, as well as in 3rd edition (the official) is not done well. if it came at least with an extra hd with the level adjustement, then it might actually be worth something.
Level adjustment in AD&D3 is a little different than 3rd edition D&D.
In 3rd edition D&D, a race with a 3 level adjustment and 1 level in a character class was, effectively, a 4th level character and (I think) the rules discouraged such a character from starting play until other characters (without level adjustments) hit 4th level.
In my rules, you can start them with other characters BUT the amount of XP needed to advance is increased by the level adjustment. At first, they’ll have an advantage but will lag behind in level. When I get home I’ll do the math to see how much they’ll lag behind. I suspect that they catch up a bit at higher levels.
Kits are handled with skill proficiencies and character backgrounds, for the most part.
