The main purpose of this appendix is to aid players who have access to the d20 core rules but not Monte Cook’s Arcana Unearthed. In truth, most of the monsters in this book can be used with almost no conversion. Still, this Appendix covers any details you really need.

I

n a standard d20 System campaign, players and DMsmay want to convert the monsters in Part One to stan- dard races or classes or find substitutes for skills, feats, spells, and items from Monte Cook’s Arcana Unearthed. You will find some suggested replacements below. It is recom- mended, however, that the characters in Part Two are run just as they are published here.

Races

For the most part, it’s best to use the races as they are pre- sented, particularly since the statistics are already provided for you. You can simply treat the races of Monte Cook’s Arcana

Unearthed characters as exotic or rare creatures in your game.

If you must convert, here are the suggested replacements:

Giant: Dwarf or half-orc (or ogre) Litorian: Elf (or orc)

Loresong Faen: Gnome Quickling Faen: Halfling Sibeccai: Dwarf (or gnoll) Spryte: Pixie

Verrik: Elf (or dark elf) or human

Classes

If need be, you can convert the Arcana Unearthed classes to standard d20 classes in this way:

Akashic: Rogue (perhaps multiclassed with sorcerer) Champion: Paladin

Greenbond: Druid Mage Blade: Bard or cleric Magister: Wizard Oathsworn: Monk Runethane: Sorcerer

Totem Warrior: Ranger or barbarian

Unfettered: Rogue (perhaps multiclassed with fighter) Warmain: Fighter

Witch: Sorcerer

Skills

To convert the skills mentioned in this book that come from

Monte Cook’s Arcana Unearthed rather than the standard d20

System, you can use these substitutions:

Alchemy: Craft (alchemy) Intuit Direction: Spot or Search

Knowledge (Ceremony): Knowledge (religion) Knowledge (Cosmology): Knowledge (the planes) Knowledge (Magic): Knowledge (arcana)

Knowledge (Runes): Knowledge (arcana)

Sneak: Divide ranks between Hide and Move Silently, as

seems appropriate (usually evenly)

Wilderness Survival: Survival

Feats

Because many of the feats in Monte Cook’s Arcana Unearthed were designed to offer options not available in the standard d20 System, the suggested replacements below—while appropriate—do not necessarily perform the same game functions as the original feats. If a feat is not on this list, flip to the “Referenced Feats” section starting on page 154, where the entire feat is presented for you to use.

Ambidexterity: Two-Weapon Fighting or Improved Two-

Weapon Fighting

Equipment

Monte Cook’s Arcana Unearthed includes some equipment not

present in the core rules. The items explained briefly below are mentioned in this book.

Dire Weapon Quality: Dire weapons cost 300 gp more

than standard and are considered exotic weapons. They inflict +2 damage more than their nondire counterparts.

Devanian Weapon and Armor Quality: Weapons and

armor made according to ancient Devanian techniques require special training to use. They weigh half as much as items of a similar type; treat a Devanian weapon of a charac- ter’s own size as a light weapon for that character. Devanian weapons, armor, and shields are all exotic (weapons being either ranged or melee [agile]).

Other Weapons: Spikestick (use d20 spiked chain); heavy

mangler (use dwarven waraxe), battle claws (use kama), and giant’s sword (use Large greatsword).

Magic

Monte Cook’s Arcana Unearthed has a somewhat different

magic system than the core rules, but that almost never comes up in Legacy of the Dragons. The only significant exceptions are the two issues mentioned below:

Runes: Treat all general references to runes as symbol of . . .

spells and/or glyphs of warding. For example, a shuyarn has free use of any symbol or glyph spells.

Truenames: Almost all creatures have a secret truename.

If a foe knows your truename, you suffer a –1 penalty on all saves against her spells. Further, she can use certain effects against you, as described in the Power of the Name feat, below (other effects, both good and bad, are detailed in

Monte Cook’s Arcana Unearthed).

Creatures that do not have truenames are “Unbound.” They cannot take ceremonial feats.

Spells

As with feats, many of the spells that come from Monte

Cook’s Arcana Unearthed fulfill a slightly different game func-

tion than standard d20 spells. Below are suggested replace- ments for the spells mentioned in this book. Note that sometimes spells of equivalent overall effect or power are chosen rather than spells that fit the flavor of the originals.
