I have decided it would be nice to use a template for converting/adapting or creating new adventures and for this to be available in the vault, so others may be inspired to contribute. So attached is my template which I will use to convert and adapt some freely available adventures for use with Cyradon." Thanks David! This download is a 926KB ZIP file.

  • Treatise 1 "Entities from Other Planes" 04/25/05
    By Jason Brisbane. "Here is a document, written form the point of view of a scholar, which, hopefully explains my views on the demons I have modified. I dont believe that a demon would have a culture, or be a different profession from that they are born to, since they are twisted paradigms of evil, born on their own plane of existence and summoned into the mortal realms.

    Thus a Rhodintor will alwys be a demon magi, a Grumoz will always be a fighter, etc... And I havent done a culture for them, but the thought is very tempting.... I may create one for a future submission. Hopefully the document, conveys those thoughts..."

It requires Excel, and if asked about the macros, they should be enabled, as they do the work behind the buttons. It is possible to expand it to encompass more skills and classes without loosing too much hair. :-)
    I wasn't sure what to do with the occassional half point left over, so I left it in the costs. If you are wondering why the cleric isn't on the list, it's because of those 2 choose your own favored category complications. If I included that, it would be over 40 versions of clerics. Just add the ones specific to your campaign. Small note: after putting in your last skill ranks entry, change focus to a different cell (click on another one, or hit tab). It's an excel idiosyncrocy. Thanks, and I hope you find it useful."
