But i would encourage anyone else to set them up here if they want :). |

The new Pathfinder Elves are a great way to represent Gold and Silver Elves in FR, but is definately lacking as a representation of Copper and Green Elves. So in an effort to not leave those two branches of the race out to dry I created this new conversion, let me know what you all think.
Pathfinder Sylvan Elves
Racial Traits:
+2 Dexterity, +2 Wisdom, -2 Intelligence
Medium size
Normal Speed: 30 feet
Low-Light Vision
Elven Immunities: Sylvan Elves are immune to magic sleep effects and get a +2 racial bonus against enchantment spells and effects.
Elven Naturalist: Sylvan Elves gain the wild empathy ability and can attempt to improve the initial attitude of an animal. A Sylvan Elf rolls a 1d20 and adds his Charisma bonus to determine the wild empathy check result. A Sylvan Elf who gains this ability from another source, such as levels in Druid or Ranger, gain a +2 racial bonus on wild empathy checks. Sylvan Elves also receive a +2 racial bonus on all Survival checks made to find or follow tracks.
Keen Senses: Sylvan Elves recieve a +2 racial bonus on all Perception skill checks.
Weapon Familiarity: Sylvan Elves are proficient with Longbows, Longswords, Scimitars, and Shortbows, including composite versions, and treat any weapon with "elven" in the name as a martial weapon.
Languages: Sylvan Elves begin play speaking Common, Elven, and Sylvan
I went with an Intelligence penalty instead of Constitution because both Wood and Wild Elves have Intelligence penalties in 3E and it represents the fact that they are hardier than their Moon/Sun Elven brethren. The other big change comes in trading the Elven Magic ability for Elven Naturalist, I came up with this after rereading their entries from earlier editions. In 2E, wood elves got a limited version of the Rangers animal empathy ability, hence what I have done here. The only other small change is swapping Rapier for Scimitar for automatic weapon proficiency, as it seems more fitting. |

Oh, NICE!! I love when you can just check the Feats that you have! This will be the sheet I'll use! Thanks, Hawk! 
I realized that I just stopped there, sorry! I love the sheet that has information for familiars and companions, and especially the extra sheet for spell information. This really is nicely done, and I appreciate all of the hard work you've put into this. Great job!! 
The links to my character sheets in my sig now have Google Docs links, so they should be easier to download. |

I tried d20 modern/future. I liked it but it just seems to lack the versatility that Alternity gives for sci fi.

Oh, and I don't really see any problem with you posting further ideas [perhaps in a new scroll created for such discussion]. I'd imagine some DMs might find a way to adapt this stuff for their own campaigns, even for the Realms -- say, as part of an alternate SPELLJAMMER plot or some such. Like what I did a few years back when I merged elements from SPELLJAMMER, PLANESCAPE, and STAR*DRIVE. The Harmonium seeks out the Nariac Domain, forging an planar/interstellar alliance with Orthosphere. That was good stuff! |

I like it! 
In fact, you've inspired me to dust-off my own joint SF/SD campaign I ran back in '07 using variant rules from the D20 Future series as a basis.
Thanks Mournblade. |

Well here you go Sage!
This is a link I used to convert some of the SF races to alternity.
I love the Star Drive setting but I find the races uninspiring.
Here is the link http://alternityrpg.net/resources.php?cat=rules&rid=69&detail=1
and here is the Dralasite (alternity rules):
Ability Score Range
Ability Range
STR 7/15
DEX 5/11
CON 6/15
INT 4/14
WIL 4/13
PER 4/12
Free Broad Skills
Ability Skill
Strength Athletics
Constitution Stamina
Intelligence Knowledge
Will Awareness
Personality Culture
Personality Interaction
Special Abilities:
Elasticity: Dralasites can "grow" additional pseudopods to use as arms and legs, as well as enact other physical changes due to the flexibility of their ameoba-like bodies. This change can be as minor as growing a new arm or as dramatic as a dralasite's absorbing all appendages and molding itself into a large, living ball. Absorbing or growing a new pseudopod is not an immediate process and can take up to five (d4+1) minutes. Each limb must be added or removed individually; multiple limbs cannot be grown or absorbed simultaneously. These changes take complete concentration, and a dralasite can take no other action while performing the metamorphosis (although the change can be put on hold until later if need).
A dralasite can have up to a number of limbs equal to its Dexterity divided by two (rounded up). This allows a hero with a Dexterity of 9 to have three arms and two legs, no legs and five arms, two legs and two arms, or any other combination of five or fewer limbs. Although a dralasite can have additional arms and legs, multiple legs do not increase movement rate, and numerous arms cannot be used simultaneously. The dralasite nerve bundle that functions as its brain can maintain control over only two arms at once. The other arms are "dormant" limbs. While these limbs can still hold things in their dormant state, they cannot manipulate objects, fire weapons, or perform other similar actions. An arm can grow smaller pseudopods that act as "fingers." A dralasite limb can be a maximum of one meter long and a minimum of ten centimeters think, while each finger can be a a maximum of ten centimeters long and a minimum of one centimeter thick.
Lie Detection: A dralasite has an enhanced ability to tell when someone is lying to them. If the dralsite is communicating face to face with the person in question, the Gamemaster can make a secret Awareness--intuition skill check for the hero with a wiht a +2 penalty. A successful result indicates the hero has successfully seen through the deception. A Critical Failure means the hero adamantly believes the exact opposite of the true situation (i.e., the dralasite might believe it is hearing a lie when it is hearing the truth).
Sorry mods! I know this is not Forgotten Realms, I just posted this at request. I really like the work I have done on alternity thus far and I would be happy to post some of the things I have done if it was OK with the mods.

I wouldn't mind hearing more about this, when you've the time Mournblade. I've long been a fan of the 'Alternity' system, since the earliest days of Star*Drive.
I love Alternity!
Basically I am trying to develop a campaign that takes place about 500 years after Mass Effect so I can use a bit more tech. The concils figured out relay technology, and lasers are a viable personal weapon.
I am mixing this loosely with STARDRIVE, in the political bodies of the Union of Sol, Orion League, Thuldan Empire, and Voidcorp (just recently 'bankrupt'" I am not including any race from Stardrive though because I like the Mass Effect ones better.

I will try to get the racial stats up by Next weekend.

I have run alot of the pathfinder AP's in the realms. For example Curse of the Crimson throne I placed in Calaunt. I pretty much made Calaunt the city.
I REALLY Like Golarion, but I really want to continue playing in the realms, so I started using some Golarion cities in place of less developed Realms cities.

So quick question would anyone be interested in making a list of the unique realm specific thing ie npc's and monsters, spells, prc's and such that will or should be updated to Pathfinder to make the Realms Pathfinderized? After all if we had a list we could then start on it. |

Well, just so you know, you can only get it early if you sign up for the subscription. Otherwise, it's not available until the book hits the shelves on Oct 21st. |

Hey, I was all for ordering from Amazon and buying the pdf separately on Oct. 21st for $9.99. However, Amazon has lost some of my business since they're not the same Amazon of five years ago. Back then, I could pre-order Harry Potter and get it the day of (or even the day before) the release of the book in the stores. Now, I preorder The Ghost King and have to wait a week and a half after it hit the stores. That, and the fact that they can't seem to get their ship dates straightened out for Paizo products (they are saying the Bestiary should be shipping by mid-NOVEMBER) and I decided to sign up for the RPG Subscription at Paizo.com and forget the $5.50 I would save by ordering from Amazon.

Well, I have the PDF of the Pathfinder Bestiary now (the hardcover's on its way).
One major change? No more Level Adjustment/ECL stuff. Drow, Tiefling and Aasimar are pretty balanced. And for those that still like the powerful Drow, they included a 'subrace' of Nobel drow (1 in 20 drow births results in a noble drow, mostly female). The Noble drow come with 3 racial hit dice and beefed up stats/powers over the normal drow.
So, instead of Level Adjustments, they simply balanced out racial hit dice to show the more powerful races. |

Alright first thing i tried was something simple, Tried going after races, mainly my favorite: the Planetouched.
I like this I do but the only problems I see with it are as follows. I think that the elemental nature of the planetouched should be more pronounced and by that I mean like this:
Air: +2 Dex. -2 Str.
Earth: +2Str. -2 Dex.
Where the two elements opposed to each other have opposite pluses and minuses. I mean it makes sense to me at least that Air is usually a lighter touch preferring dexterity over strength, and Earth is the opposite. By this basis I would modify Fire and Water as such as well;
Fire: +2 Int. - 2 Wis.
Water: +2 Wis. -2 Int.
I think that Fire tends to be more impulsive and thus less wisdom, where water is more calm.
Also for favorite classes I would give them somewhat based off their pluses. Like Earth Fighter, Air Thief, Fire Wizard, Water Cleric. But overall I like it. |

The Eldritch Knight gets a D10 in the Pathfinder Rules.
So I say go for it. It will give you on average 20 more hp's.

SO glad Pathfinder is great and I never have to look back.

I am considering adapting the FR setting to the Pathfinder rules. Although I have to say that Ed having worked on the CS for pathfinder, and Golarion, as well at the new kingmaker module coming out in January has me excited about their world. Course I still miss the old realms. |
