D20 converter

I bought the power of the jedi and dark side sourcebooks and got them today, but play the D6 system (i wanted the books simply for the extra info inside). I was wondering if anyone here knows where to get my hands on a converter from D20 to D6, ive been to swrpgnetwork.com but theres nothing converted there that i am after.

Can anyone help?

 

J_M, I'll post something up here later.

It's in the original d20 Core Rulebook, not the revised one.

I'm at work; books are at home.

 

Well, I just started as a Associate Webmaster over at the SWRPGNetwork Conversions site.

Most of the Dark Side Sourcebook is converted and I'm currently working on the Power of the Jedi Sourcebook.

What were you looking for and I'll see what I can do. As far as a converter is concerned - there aren't any automated ones, that I've found at least, most are just guildlines for you to follow.

Okay -- now I'm home. I can post up the rules in the back of the original Core Rulebook as vest I can, or y'all can wait a while and I can see what I can code up in Access. Thoughts?

 

dp4m, I suppose you are talking about the D6-D20 converter from the OCR, am I right? It's extremely useful if you want to make D20-D6 conversions, but it won't save your day.

OT Rant: Aaaaaah, the OCR. That imported rulebook I bought for 50 ? (!!). And, three years later, the only useful things of that book are the D6-D20 converter and Qui-Gon's stats.

Yes, why won't it work?

 

Because it's D6-D20 converter and not a D20-D6 converter. It's easy to use with starships and vehicles (well, it isn't too hard to find out the formulae without any converter!!) but with characters it's just a bit of help.

 

Can't you just do it backwards?

Here...

Take the Attribute Table:
8 = 1D, 20 = 5D (with 9 = 1D+1, 10 = 1D+2, 11 = 2D, etc.)

WEG Attribute:
Strength = STR
Dexterity = DEX
Knowledge = 3/2 * CHA + INT - WIS
Technical = WIS + INT - 3/2 * CHA
Perception = 3/2 * CHA + WIS - INT
Mechanical = 18D - Sum(Strength, Dexterity, Knowledge, Technical, Perception) using "base pip" scheme.

That's the reverse formulae. How's that really hard (except for the mathematical proof as to why those formulae work?)...

 

Ahem. I meant classes, skills, feats and level. Yeah, I graduated from high school, thanks.

On a second thought, with the book open, I see it's as inaccurate and approximate as is D6-D20. Sigh. Nevermind. Remind me never to speak again.

 

LOL thanks guys, as soon as i get back from work (10 hours or so) I'll let you know what im after

many thanks

Oh, and you really shouldn't post copyrighted information on a public site.

 

oops

i was so bummed about typing it up i didnt think of that, sorry WOTC and LFL

All above information used without permission, in a young one's thirst for knowledge. If LFL or WOTC wish the information to be removed, please do so

It's not for commercial use -- it's for personal use.

Plus was what he posted his own creations or WOTC?

 

i kinda just copied it from the sourcebook, but that was because i dont understand the d20 thingy, and couldnt have created my own, besides, i thought they were just generic templates, once they got converted to d6, with the exception of the creatures, i would have edited each one a little.

 

It's not for commercial use -- it's for personal use.

Tell that to the creator of the Okina-Rdae Technologies SWRPG Generator, but that is another topic.

As for the stuff that you are asking for to get converted Jedi_Matt, I'll be working on getting the Power of the Jedi Sourcebook hopefully by the end of Feb. if not sooner. So keep on checking the SWRPGNetwork Conversions and you'll see them up there.

However, these D6 Holocron Rules might tide you over a little.

 

okay, thanks im also wondering how i should make a force spirit character different to a live character? im not sure what needs to be different

 

Matt -- I promise. I'll get cracking on some of this stuff tonight. I've been a busy beaver the last few days...

 

okay *g* thanks muchly dp4m

did the sites i recommended help you get hold of platts thingy you were after by the way?

Cracken's.
And not yet. One of the sites was out of it, the other place... I've not heard back from.

 

FrobiWanKenobi, do you have WEG's Tales of the Jedi Companion? In there are the D6 stats for most of the Old Republic Jedi - Ulic, Cay, Tott, Nomi, etc.. The stats for Arca, Ulic, Cay, and Tott are "as of leaving for Onderon" in the Knights of the Old Republic TPB. As for the rest, it's "as of leaving for Onderon" in the Freedon Nadd Uprising comics. These might save you some time in the conversions.

dp4m - I like that Londo Mollari quote in your signature. A most interesting merger of mathematics and politics. LOL when I first heard it.

 

Yes I do, and I am aware of those stats JediAlly, thanks for the reminder though.

 

Start with easy first...

The Jedi Trials
Facility with the Force: Move Object DC15, Heal Another DC 15, withstanding a mind trick (DC 15 will save)

Knowledge of the Jedi Code: Knowledge (Jedi Lore) DC 15.

Facility with the Force:
Alter Tests
- Move Object version: A Telekinesis Check (DC 15). Uses the Alter skill.
- Heal Another version: An Accelerate Another's Healing check on someone who is a slight acquaintance to the character. Use Control skill (DC 15) and Alter skill (DC 5).

Control Tests
- Withstanding an Affect Mind: Use the character's Control skill to resist a Padawan's Affect Mind roll. Use a Padawan with a 5D in Sense, this will make the average roll to beat DC 18 (5 * 3.5).
- Force Stealth: Have the character make an Emptiness check. Control roll (DC 15).

Sense Tests
- Farseeing Test: Have the Padawan make a check against "present time" for a slight acquaintance within the Temple. Control (DC 5 - 10), Sense (DC 15).
- Locate a Hidden Creature: Have the Padawan make a Life Detection check against a hidden Jedi Master whom the Padawan has never met. Sense (DC 20).

Knowledge of the Jedi Code: Knowledge (Jedi Lore) skill. Use Knowledge attribute die code or the Knowledge (Jedi Lore) skill die code against DC 15.

Lightsaber Construction: Average the Jedi skill die code (e.g. 6D in all would be 6, 5D + 5D+1 + 5D+2 would be 5D+1, etc.) and round down -- use this as the Jedi level for Lightsaber Build/Repair DC. Lightsaber Build/Repair is a Technical skill and likely an (A) skill so it must be used trained. The Padawan must make a Strength check (DC 20), a (Knowledge + Technical)/2 check (DC 20) and a (Perception + Technical)/2 check (DC 20). The Padawan must also spend 1 Force Point and gets 2 back when completed and all the checks are made.

Lightsaber Proficiency: AHA! A chance to use the ACTUAL cadence rules! Let's say that someone is Knighted after successfully performing the First Lightsaber Cadence:

First Cadence
Duration: One hour.
Preparation: Make a batch of 19 wax cylinders (10 cm high; 0.5 cm diameter) usingan autochef. Also obtain 190 metal (ideally steel) ball bearings.
Cadence: Start by placing one cylinder upright directly ahead of you at a distance of 1 to 1.5 meters (so that you can just reach it with the tip of your lightsaber), and place one of the ball bearings on top of it. Then, from rest position, draw your saber, ignite it and strike the ball bearing without harming the wax cylinder. Having successfully completed one wax cylinder, place two cylinders directly ahead of you by hand with a 10 degree angle between them. Repeat the exercise until you cover a 180 degree spread with the wax cylinders (from 2 cylinders to 19). Once you have completed all 19 cylinders, you may want to obtain additional ball bearings for repetition purposes. There are a number of orders that you can remove the ball bearings in -- right to left, left to right, alternate left and right (center out), alternate left to right (outside in) and random order. Only when you can perform all possible permutations left-handed, right-handed and blindfolded should you advance to Cadence Two.
Game Notes: The difficulty to place the cylinders is either Control (DC 15), Sense (DC 10) or Dexterity or Perception (DC 25). Performing the initial exercise (1:1) is a Lightsaber skill roll (DC 30) OR a Lightsaber skill roll (DC 20) with a Control roll (DC 15) OR a Lightsaber skill roll (DC 15) with a Sense roll (DC 15). Each time the Padawan completes one phase of the cadence, reduce the DC -5 (minimum DC 10). Each subsequent step of the cadence has the same difficulty, modified by number of cylinders (+5 for 2 - 10; +10 for 11 - 19). Other modifiers would be: + 5 for opposite-hand, +10 for drawing and wielding opposite-hand and +20 for blindfolded, drawing and wielding opposite-hand. If a

 

yeah thats what i thought too MD, thats why i did what i could to help him in his search for cracken's

damn dp4m that is fantastic, and EXTREMELY appreciated. I knew about the cadence before (i've already had my apprentice perform that, and they managed it! albeit a little overtime ) i didn't realise one was pronounced a Jedi Knight after doing it. most intriguing *G*

thanks so much dp4m

matt

 

dp4m, you really should write that stuff up into an article and send it to our Submissions site (http://submissions.swrpgnetwork.com) as it looks like it'd be something that a lot of people would like. Find a way to list the trials for D6 too (I know the Cadences come from GG9: Fragments) and you're set. E-mail me, or Rigil Kent and Nafai (our Submissions webmasters) if you have any questions.
