I don't want to be "that guy" but I'm comfortable with the way things are going. However, If the majority want to make the conversion, I'll go along with it.
That's a fair comment, we have not had many problems as such. For the most part because I'm doing most (but not all!) of the work. I'd be lying if I didn't say it was partly because I wanted to make things a little easier on myself by using a single set of rules, as well as wanting to try 4th ed. out because I have them.
Nevertheless you did make your character using the T2013 rules. This was a significant investment of time and effort! T2K4 has conversion rules for 1st and 2nd ed. But not 4th! Usually I find its better just to re-make a PC than to try and apply formulae for conversion, anyways.
There are two options for converting PCs:
1. Archetypes: pick a general character type, the ones I suggested are close. Add some skills.
2. Lifepath: This is the involved term-by-term process.
If anyone would like to borrow a copy of the rules on .pdf on the understanding they will not share any further (etc.) please email me (
