Does anyone have a D20 RCR to D6 Starship/Vehicle Converter Program? Could you share if you do? Also does anyone have Guidelines on converting Saga Characters to the D6 system? Am wanting to run a Legacy of the force era campain, and need Info for converting Saga system characters over to the D6 system. thank you! _________________ Not the droid you're looking for....... |

In order to have a program, you'd have to have a completely logical system of being able to do so. There is no mathematical equation for anything except the attributes... and even then you may have to tweak those now and again.
I can send you the attribute converter if you like, but after that, it's a long process of trying to compare stats to second and third stat blocks of characters that exist in both SAGA and D6. For example, when I'm converting someone that has a skill of +6, I'll look at someone like Zuckuss who has the same skill at +6 and see how he's done in D6. Of course, you'll find another character who has the same +6 and they have a completely different skill rating.
*shrug*
I usually just use a bit of comparison, common sense, intuition, and use of the SAGA stat block as inspiration, rather than direct conversion. _________________ __________________________________

There's very little actual "conversion" that can be made when it comes to bringing a character from Saga to D6. With the old d20 there was still a fair amount of direct number conversion you could make. But now it's a complete mess. Even attributes can only be used for loose inspiration. Skills? The numbers are completely off and any decent character in D6 will need a WHOLE lot more skills than he has in Saga. So the best you can do is get the overall power level attributed to the character by the Saga stats, then read as much as you can about the character's past activities and strong and weak points and then pretty much start creating a character from scratch. But hey, the character's equipment converts pretty much straight across! _________________ "He's Gry Sarth, of course he has the stats for them." |
