3.5 module conversions

Hey everyone. I've been running the older PS modules for a group using 3.5 rules for a few months now and they've been going pretty well, so I thought I'd share my conversion notes with the community. Given, I knocked these together into a finished product in about 4 hours, so there are probably quite a few errors or omissions (Please feel free to point any you see out and I'll fix them, especially if you've played, DMed, or own the module). I think I may have accidentally submitted this to the site as an article, too, but I wanted to get feedback first from those that know better

I'll start out with Harbinger House, because it's always been a favorite of mine, and if you guys like it, I'll put up as many as I can adapt.

(Oh, standard warning, there's probably a lot of spoilers ahead, so if you think you're gonna be a PC in this, don't look. Also, without the actual adventure booklet in your hands, this is pretty worthless. You have been warned.)

Harbinger House

General: All NPC groups that have their race listed as VAR in the adventure are statted as Humans here. Feel free to modify an individual’s stats on the fly by, for instance, making them a dwarf by removing one feat and one skill and giving them Dwarf traits and Ability Score modifiers (Use any race you feel is appropriate to mix things up. The planes are a cosmopolitan place).

Aura of Trust (Su): Trolan the Mad is constantly surrounded by an aura of trust and friendship. Anyone within 10 ft. of Trolan must make a successful DC 15 Will save in order to attack or target him with hostile spells. A successful save makes the subject immune to this effect for 24 hours. The aura is also broken if Trolan takes any hostile actions toward the subject. This effect otherwise resembles the spell Sanctuary.

*Note: I thought that Trolan was better represented as an Aasimar given his penchant for good and his background. He was originally a Tiefling, and if you wish to keep him as such the just remove his resistances, Daylight ability, and +2 bonus to Listen and Spot, and replace them with Resist (Cold 5, Fire 5, Electricity 5), Darkness ability, and a +2 to Bluff and Hide. Do not change his Ability Scores, SR, or other Spell-like Abilities.

Sense Motive or Wisdom check DC 15 to notice passersby are nervous. DC 20 to determine they are actually in fear of the Dabus’ actions

Feats: Iron Will, Skill Focus (Listen)
CR: 2
AL: Always N

Hover (Ex): Dabus move by floating off the ground, thus they are immune to all effects that affect the ground beneath them, such as the grease or soften earth and stone spells. Yet, they are also not considered flying, thus effects that affect flying creatures (e.g. gust of wind spell) won’t send them spinning out of control. Since the dabus are never encountered out of Sigil, it is not known whether this is a special property of the city or a racial ability.

Rebus (Ex): Dabus do not speak, but communicate by displaying rebus, cryptic symbolic images which appear in the air. A “listener” must make a Sense Motive check to understand the message (DC 15 for simple message, DC 20 for more complex message). Failure by 10 points or more means a false message is conveyed.
A character with the Speak Knowledge (Rebus) skill automatically understands the message.

p. 14

Male bashers’ initial attitude is friendly, or indifferent if the party includes a paladin or priest. Female cutter’s initial attitude is indifferent, or unfriendly if the party includes a paladin or priest.

p. 16

The sword that A’kin offers is a Sword of the Planes, as listed in the Magic section of the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

p. 17

The PCs can gain clues about the troubles by making Gather Information checks with a DC of 15 taking 1 hour. For every 5gp spread around, the DC is decreased by 1 and the time to make the check reduced by 10 minutes, to a minimum of DC 10 and 10 minutes with 25gp or more. Each successful check reveals one of the rumors listed.

p. 19

Two of the spells mentioned as part of the ritual no longer exist in 3.5 ed. Use the following spells and components instead whenever mentioned.

Confusion (3 nutshells) --> No change

Chaos (Bronze disk and iron rod) --> Insanity (no components mentioned in PHB, so just use the bronze disk and iron rod)

Death Spell (1000gp of powered black pearl) --> Circle of Death (500gp of powdered black pearl)

p. 20

A DC 15 Search check at the Hovel on Blood Boil finds the disc and rod.

A DC 22 Spellcraft check reveals that the disc and rod are the components for an Insanity spell. A DC 27 check reveals that they were not completely consumed as normal casting would cause.

2 successful DC 17 Search checks at the Bunkhouse on Hovel Row reveal the crushed black pearl and the used Vrock feather.

A DC 15 Appraise or Craft (Alchemy) check tells that the black powder is crushed black pearl. An original gp value cannot be determined because most of it was consumed.

A DC 24 Spellcraft check reveals that black pearl dust is the component for a Circle of Death spell. A DC 29 check reveals that it was not completely consumed as normal casting would cause.

A DC 20 Knowledge (The Planes) check reveals that the feather is from a Vrock.

If the PCs learn of the 3 nut shells from Julius of the 9th Test, a DC 20 Spellcraft check reveals that they are the components for a Confusion spell.

A DC 15 Spot check as they leave The Ascention spots Urchend hiding nearby

p. 21

Factol Hashkar starts out at an initial attitude of unfriendly, or indifferent if the PCs are working for one of the lawful factions or if the group contains a Guvner. If necessary, Factol Hashkar can be considered to have a Sense Motive of +18 and can Discern Lies as the spell.

A DC 12 spot check notices the lone Dabus.

p. 22

In either instance, the white powder can be identified as Talc with a DC 15 Craft (Alchemy) check.

Kesto Brighteyes has an initial attitude of indifferent, or friendly if the PCs are officially investigating for a faction. He will only reveal what he really saw if his attitude is influenced to helpful or better.

A DC 15 Search check finds the footprint.

p. 24

Narcovi’s initial attitude is unfriendly if the PCs have given her any reason to suspect them. Otherwise, it is indifferent.

Picking the lock to Penbrum’s Parchments and Papers requires a DC 30 Open Locks check, or it can be busted down (Strength check DC 25, or hardness 5 and 20 hp) but this will probably alert a nearby Harmonium patrol.

Use the stats for the Average Cranium Rat Swarm on p. 168 of the Fiend Folio for the rats in the warehouse.

p. 27

Kolz

Male Human Planar, Mercykillers, Ftr 4

*Note: Sougad could quite easily slay Kolz in a single attack if lucky, so allow the PCs at least 3 rounds to save Kolz, regardless of his hit points. After that, it’s his problem.

Spotting Sougad ahead of time is a Spot check, opposed by his Hide with a +4 bonus for concealment.

p. 30

The Cultists don’t really need a stat block. Consider them to have an AC of 11 and 5 hp each, with an unarmed attack of +1 (1d3 nonlethal). Use the stats for the Indep Bashers above for the Bullies, but remove the Faction Free feat and replace it with Power Attack, and replace the armor and weapons with studded leather and short swords.

p. 31

During the chase, have the PCs make either a Jump or Climb check to cross from one building to another, depending on how far apart and how tall the buildings are. If you don’t want to plan the route ahead of time, just use a DC of 1d10 +10 for any given Climb and d6+10 for any given Jump. A missed jump check results in a fall of 1d4 x 10 feet and the PC must either leave the chase or find a way back to the roofs. Mix the chase up with occasional taunting or attacks from Sougad. Sougad will probably stay a few buildings ahead, but if the PCs look like they are tiring of the chase, or if they catch up to Sougad, proceed to the fight.

Chapter 2

p. 35

The Spot check to notice Nari is DC 16.

p. 36

Search DC 15 to find the nutshells at the first murder site.

p. 40

Sougad’s target has 37 hp and an AC of 12. As before, make sure that the PCs have a round or 3 to act before the victim is slain. The fire acts on an Initiative of 15 starting on round 3, and deals 2d6 points of fire damage to the temple and anyone in its area of effect. It burns the top story until it deals 30 or more points of damage, then moves to the lower story. After 60 total points of damage to the temple, or on the round after Sougad kills his target, the upper floor collapses. Anyone within 15ft of Sougad at this time must make a DC 15 Reflex save or be hit by flaming debris, dealing 3d6 damage and pinning the character. Every round they remain pinned they take 1d6 fire damage. They can free themselves with a DC 20 Strength or DC 25 Escape Artist check, or other PCs can free them with a DC 20 Strength check.

When Sougad slays this victim, he gains the Spell Like Ability Greater Teleport (self and 50 lbs. of gear only) usable once per day.

p. 42

Searching the body without being cut by Razorvine is a DC 15 Dexterity check. Failure means that the PC takes 1d6 slashing damage, -1 for every point of Natural Armor or Armor bonus to AC (use the higher of the 2 values if the PC has both). If they fail by 5 or more points, they fall into the Razorvine and take 3d6 slashing damage, modified as above, and becomes tangled, requiring a DC 15 Escape Artist or DC 20 Dexterity check to escape. Each failure deals another 1d6 slashing damage.

AL: CE
Equipment: +2 Longsword (Outlands), Composite Longbow (+2), 20 Arrows, +3 Arrow, Chain Shirt

Spell Like Abilities: 1/day – Darkness. Caster level 12th. The Save DCs are Charisma-based.

Death Attack: Study for 3 rounds, then make a Sneak Attack. If it hits, the target must make a DC 13 Fort save or either die or be paralyzed for 1d6+2 rounds (Assasin’s choice). If the target saves, then the attack is still a normal Sneak Attack.

Spells: Assassin Spells Known (4/day ; Save DC 11 + spell lvl)
1st – Feather Fall, Jump, Sleep, True Strike

*Note: I replaced the Arrow of Bard Slaying in the adventure with the Assassin’s Death Attack class feature. The DC is low (13) but Trolan only has a +3 to Fort saves anyway, so it’s still pretty fatal if it hits him. When Xero makes his first attack on Trolan, he studies him for 3 rounds then makes a Death Attack with the intent to kill, using his single +3 Arrow. He cannot use the True Strike spell with this attack as casting it would alert Trolan to his presence and interrupt the 3 rounds of study for his Death Attack.

Note: If you choose to use my interpretation of Trolan as an Aasimar, then the flavor text on this page should be altered as follows. Otherwise, use it as is.

“The man before you stands just a bit over five feet tall, with a thin form and obvious grace. His face shines with the glow of the planetouched. Tapered ears, eyes of pure blue with a golden rimmed radiance, and the slightest hint of silver in his skin mark him for what he is – an aasimar, a child of the planes. . .”

The aura of trust mentioned on this page is reflected in a special ability listed with Trolan’s stats above.

Finding the hidden passage between areas 4 and 4a requires a DC 20 Search check, or Trolan can point it out. Trolan’s healing is 1d8+5 for those who mistreated him, and 2d8+10 for those who treated him well.

Substitute the following for the items in Area 5.
2 Potions of Cure Light Wounds
1 Potion of Cure Moderate Wounds
1 Elixer of Mental Wholeness (Cures the user of all temporary ability damage to either Int, Wis, or Cha, or ends any one Insanity or Madness effect they are suffering from, be it magical or physical in nature)
1 Elixer of Insanity (Causes Insanity as the spell, Will DC 20 Negates)

Aztral of the Many Faces

Male Human Planar, Ftr 4
Medium Humanoid
HD: 4d10+4 (28 hp)
Init.: +8
Speed: 30ft
AC: 14 (+4 Dex) Touch 14, FF 10
Base Attack/Grapple: +4/+4
Attack: Spoon +4 (1d2, 20/x2)
SA: Absorption
SQ: SR 14
Space/Reach: 5ft./5ft.
Saves: Fort +5 Ref +5 Will +0
Abilities: Str 11 Dex 18 Con 13 Int 14 Wis 8 Cha 11
Skills: Climb +7, Intimidate +7, Jump +7, Tumble +7
Feats: Dodge, Blind Fight, Improved Init, Mobility, Quick Draw, Spring Attack
AL: CE
Equipment: Spoon

Absorption (Su): Once per round as a move action, Aztral may attempt to absorb the personality of a target, which gets a DC 20 Will save to resist. If successful, Aztral becomes a copy of the target, with the target’s hit points, speed, armor class, attacks, damage, saves, ability scores, skills, feats, class and race related abilities, and spellcasting ability. Treat him as identical to the target at the time the ability is used for purposes of Spell save DCs, spells available, level checks and such. Aztral does not appear to change in any way visually, but his shirt will be as tough as plate mail if his target is wearing it, or his spoon may deal damage as a greatsword. Aztral may hold a personality for up to 1d6 rounds, although he may choose to abandon or replace one before that time is up. When Aztral changes back to his standard personality (as in the statistics above) any damage, nonlethal damage, ability drain or damage, level drain, or other debilitating effects he suffered while in another form are applied. (This does not occur if he manages to jump directly from one alternate personality to another without having to revert to ‘normal’) This may result in death if it renders him to -10 hp or 0 Con, or unconsciousness if his nonlethal damage is greater than his current hp or if any of his other stats reach 0.

Galkin Farseer

Male Human Planar, Bleak Cabal, Ftr 10
Medium Humanoid
HD: 10d10+20 (80 hp)
Init.: +7
Speed: 30ft
AC: 13 (+3 Dex) Touch 13, FF 10
Base Attack/Grapple: +10/+13
Attack: +1 Shortsword of Speed +14 (1d6+4, 19-20/x2)
Full Attack: +1 Shortsword of Speed +14/+14/+9 (1d6+4, 19-20/x2)
SA: Spelltouched: Lightning Bolt
SQ: SR 15

Feats: Blind Fight, Combat Expertise, Combat Reflexes, Dodge, Improved Disarm, Improved Init, Improved Trip, Mobility, Spring Attack, Whirlwind Attack
AL: CN
Equipment: ­­+1 Shortsword of Speed (Outlands)

Spelltouched (Su): Once per turn as a standard action, Galkin may attempt to become a Lightning Bolt as the spell. If he succeeds on a DC 15 Concentration check he may travel in any direction as a living bolt of lightning. This behaves for all intents and purposes as if he had just cast the Lightning Bolt spell, dealing 10d10 electricity damage to all in his path (Ref DC 15 half) except that he is instantly teleported to either the end of the spell’s range (120 feet in the chosen direction) or where it ends at a wall, whichever comes first. He may not choose to stop somewhere in the middle. Galkin may be counterspelled when changing (Spellcraft DC 20 to identify), and if the attempt is successful Galkin remains where he was, deals no damage, and must wait until next turn to try again. If Galkin fails at a Concentration check to transform, he must wait 1d4 rounds to try again.

Sensory Touch: Once per day you may transfer 9 hp of nonlethal damage from yourself to another living creature at the rate of 2 points healed per point taken. You may also reduce a creature’s level of fear or fatigue by bearing the increase yourself. For instance, you can reduce a panicked individual to frightened by becoming shaken, or someone who is exhausted can be reinbigorated if you choose to become exhausted instead. You can use this ability to bring yourself past the normal limits of hit points, fear, and fatigue, but taking such an extremem burden knocks you unconscious for at least one hour. Either use of this ability requires a touch attack as a standard action that provokes an attack of opportunity.

Gazing into Teela’s mirror requires the PC to make a DC 18 Will save or be forced to look into the mirror for 1d4 turns, taking 1d4 points of negative energy damage per turn. After 1d4 rounds, the PC may make another Will save to look away. Another PC may try to pull the afflicted PC away, but they must beat the afflicted PC’s Strength check as they fight to stay at the mirror.

Powerful Charge (Ex): A bariaur often begins a battle by charging at an opponent, lowering its head to smash its rams’ horns against a foe. In addition to the normal benefits and hazards of a charge, this allows the bariaur to make a single bludgeoning attack that deals 2d6 + 3 damage.

Figments (Su): As a standard action, Tomin may summon forth figments of his imagination to do his bidding. He may call either 4 small figments, 2 medium figments, or 1 large figment per use. These figments are not real, but they could be. Each PC must make a Will save to disbelieve a figment when it appears. If any PC fails their save, then that figment is real and can deal damage to any PC as any creature could. If all PCs pass their save for a given figment it does not go away, it just cannot hurt anyone. Tomin may have no more than 14 HD of figments in existence at any given time. Figments dissolve back into Tomin’s subconscious after 1d6 rounds, or sooner if he wills it.

Each round that a PC is near Kaydi they must make a Will save DC 15. On success, they suffer 1 point of Wisdom damage. On a failed save, they suffer damage depending on how close to Kaydi they are: 10 to15ft – 1d4 Wis; 5 to 10ft – 1d6 Wis; Less than 5ft – 1d8 Wis. A character reduced to 0 Wisdom falls asleep. When removed from the area of exposure, the Wisdom damage regenerates at a rate of 1 point per round. Awakening Kaydi only requires taking a standard action to shake her.

Kaydi has 6 hp, an AC of 5, and SR 15 if it is really necessary.

The powers of Demipower Kaydi are Deep Slumber (DC 20, No HD limit) and Nightmare (DC 22).

Feats: Great Fortitude, Improved Init, Iron Will, Weapon Finesse
AL: CE
Equipment: +1 Shortsword (Outlands), Studded Leather

Extreme Luck (Su): Chance is ridiculously lucky and receives a +4 to all d20 rolls (figured into above stats) and causes all d20 rolls made against him to suffer a -4 penalty. This includes attacks, skill use, caster level checks and anything else that might affect him negatively, but does not include damage rolls.

Field of Bad Luck (Su): Anyone within 15ft of chance is subject to fits of bad luck. Each round, everyone in the area must make a DC 18 Will save. If they fail, then one of the following unlucky events occurs to the PC:

Attacks wrong target near Chance
Drops whatever they’re holding
Trips and falls prone
Pants fall around ankles (10ft speed until they spend an action pulling them up)
Casts wrong spell
Critically misses or critically fails automatically
Fails to cast a spell as though they had Arcane spell failure 100%
Drinks wrong potion
Anything else the DM deems appropriate and amusing. . .

Chance’s room contains 4 Potions of Cure Light Wounds, 2 Potions of Cure Moderate Wounds, a Luckstone, and a Lucky Charm (while carried by a PC, that PC may reroll any one d20 roll she makes each day before the outcome is revealed)

The trap in area 30 deals 3d6 fire damage in a 15ft cone out of the magic mouth if anyone approaches within 15ft (Reflex save DC 13 half). It resets every round.

Use the Statistics for Manes from either the Book of Vile Darkness or The Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss.

Convincing Trolan to help fight is a DC 20 Diplomacy check that takes 2 full rounds.

If Sougad kills his 13th victim, then he gains the Spell Like Ability Insanity (DC 20) usable once per day. His sword also increases in enchantment to a +3 Lawbane Greatsword (Outlands).

p. 63

The Focrux has 40 hp, SR 25, Resistance (Acid/10, Cold/15, Electricity/10, Fire/15, Sonic/5), and DR 5/Adamantine. It can be shattered with a successful Strength check DC 25. If a magic weapon is used to attempt to shatter the Focrux, add its enchantment bonus to the Strength check. Every 5 points of damage the Focrux receives reduces the DC of the Strength check by 2. If it is destroyed, the entire room suffers 4d10 points of damage, half of which is slashing and half is force (Reflex save DC 20 for half).

p. 64

Convincing the Cult of the Lady to abandon their plans without Trolan’s help is a DC 30 Diplomacy check. The DC is reduced to 25 if the Planarity is used to replay Nari’s scheme for the crowd. Operating the Planarity requires either a DC 20 Wisdom Check or a DC 25 Use Magic Device Check.
