<P>Not a problem. I always thought that Dark Sun would have been a brilliant BRP/RQ setting, provided someone could solve the psionics issue, hopefully without a PSI skill. I suppose you could do an almost direct conversion, with PSPs being STR+CON+POW, and all of the devotions etc being skills at 1D6%. Prerequisites would apply, I suppose. The AoE would have to be altered as well. Any thoughts?</P>
<P>There was another conversion as well, I can't remember who it was by, but it suggested using Spirit magic instead of psionics. </P>
<P>As for converting the monsters, I would use some RQ analogues such as the giant with a few more powers for something like the braxat (Or even the other giants!), and most humanoid monsters would essentially be human stats with a bit of zing (Belgoi et al).</P>
<P>I for one would be glad to see it under D100 rather than the dense and annoying strictures of levels, classes and alignments!<BR><BR></P></DIV>
