(Please excuse my "clumsy" english and the long post! [:I] ) This is my first post on these forums. I'd like to ask if anyone has experience with old FR modules running with the recent Ed. of D&D (3.5) and if there are (fanmade) conversions for these. After four years without gaming, me and my old gaming group have decided to play again regularly. I was the DM of a 2nd Ed FR Campaign that lasted nearly 3 years. Also, I am the only one with the 3.5 rules so we have to learn the rules step by step while playing (all group members are experienced role-players, so this won't pose much of a problem). Ok, here is the deal: I recently downloaded the FR adventure "Under Illefarn" and I [u]really[/u] like it (has some kind of old school feeling about it!) Has anyone on these boards played this module under 3.5? What changes did you make? I decided to use nearly all encounters/fights like they are given in the original module. Sadly, I don't have any experience with combat and monster difficulty in 3.5! I opened our first gaming session with a selfmade mini-adventure : A black bear killed cattle in a hamlet around Daggerford and started to harrass the farmers. The PCs, being memebers of the local militia, where sent to investigate and discovered (after killing it), that the bear was wounded (left Paw, so it had only 1 bite and 1 claw attack) by an Orc arrow. Further Investigation led them to a Burrow in the Misty Forest, where the made short work of 5 Orc Bandits (and a 1,50m centipede in a crate). All Charakters rolled really good stats and the group consists of: - a human fighter - a human rogue - a half-(wood)elf ranger - a human cleric of Tempus So far they have handled the Combat well, although 2 PCs have been seriously wounded (no one was in danger of dying, though) I then started the "official" campaign "Under Illefarn" which led the PCs into the Lizard Marsh (hot on the trail of a raging baron and some Lizardfolk) where they were promptly attacked by a monitor lizard (rolled a 1>>Random Encounter [:D]). They killed it without getting hurt. (Here we had to break off...) But the next set fight will be against 6 Lizardmen...I toned [i]some[/i] of them down (8 hp, no shields) but also gave their leader a Scythe as his weapon...Is this too much to handle for them? Has anyone played Under Illefarn and can share his experience with me? And I am desperatly looking for the 3.5 stats of a Giant Frog or a Giant Toad (especially the Tongue Grapple/Swallow abilities)!! Thanks alot! [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
