3.5 to 2
grigori777:
Good day. I am finding numerous character generator programs and sites to create characters in 3.5, but none for 2.0 that accept any race other than elf, 1/2 elf, human, dwarf, etcetera. Is there a way to convert a 3.5 character to 2nd edition? I know there is a book that is for 2.0 to 3.0.

Good question...and good luck.
I've recently been asked to run an old school D&D game using 2nd Ed AD&D rules. Personally, I thought the system was a cumbersome behemoth which didn't do a lot of what I wanted in a game (ie. really getting into the meaty bits of the story, while instead it pretends to be about story, but is really just an elaborate combat system with some side dressing.)
But hey, I've been asked to run a game by a guy who has heaps of the old books, he's been playing it for years and he wants to get a new generation of friends into the hobby. He was the orchestrator for the event and he only likes to play what he's familiar with...
So I've been looking for some good character generators for 2nd Ed AD&D, as well as some good archive sites and conversion sites.
There isn't lot out there.
But then again, you have to remember that 2nd Ed AD&D is almost entirely pre-world-wide-web. So anyone who would have wanted stuff online would probably be a die-hard fan (like the guy who has organised the game I'm running...before you ask, no, he has a time consuming job that prevents him from setting up fan sites to old games).
I did manage to find a couple of decent generators for settings like Dark Sun and Planescape, they've got a few "non-standard" races. I'll see if I can dig up a link.

I've got all the books on a flash drive, but I wanted to see if there was a way I could either convert ones I have or find a way to create a character without having to read almost the whole book... lol Thanks for the help it gets boring playing all the same races, and I we need to make 6 characters, all different races and classes.

Welcome to the Forge, dude!
I once had a pretty ridiculous amount of knowledge regarding this rule set. I could probably point you in the right direction if you share a little more information about your game. Are you actually playing a game using the 2nd Edition rules, then? Were you previously playing a game in some other edition of D&D? Who's the DM?
Jason Scanlon:
If i recall correctly, there are rules in the character creation section for using monsters as a race, though they may be less than comprehensive. Good luck.
