Into the Dark of Night. Converting D&D Spells. After designing my power creation guidelines in Savage Abilities, I decided to test their versatility by converting various D&D spells (converting the flavour rather than the mechanics).
I also thought the spells might prove useful for my Savage War of the Burning Sky conversion, as the original Adventure Path was designed for D&D and made frequent references to specific spells. I got part way through the level 2 spells before losing interest - yes, they could be converted, but I increasingly felt that I was trying to shoehorn the spells, particularly as I'd been hoping to balance them so that their PP cost was the same as their spell level.
However I thought it might be worth posting my notes, rather than leave them on my hard drive to rot. If nothing else, it's a reasonable proof-of-concept for my power creation guidelines, and shows how different spells can be built. Cantrips Resistance (Enchantment) Abilities (+18): +0 PP Range (Touch): +0 PP. Focus Stones (Rune Stones/magical item) Savage Worlds. Lesser Rune stones are created as a general spell foci.
Each Rune is inscribed with a mark of power, the mark may vary from stone to stone but the effect is the same. List of fictional swords. This article lists fictional swords.

The next item up for bid is the Bag of Holding. Now, before I’m downed out in the chorus of “Yeah, that’s obvious,” let’s take a look at the stat block from the Pathfinder SRD: Bag of Holding Aura moderate conjuration; CL 9th Slot —; Price see below; Weight see below This appears to be a common cloth sack about 2 feet by 4 feet in size. If a bag of holding is overloaded, or if sharp objects pierce it (from inside or outside), the bag immediately ruptures and is ruined, and all contents are lost forever.

To that end, I’m going to call this series The Adventurer’s Toolbox, and in it I will place a number of items from the core rules of different games I have played.
