The Elder Scrolls Conversion Project; New class: The Skirmisher

Another new class for the conversion project, but this one is completely compatible with other D&D games as well. There is no need for tweaking, you can just hand it out to players right away.
Note: This class has some features that "step on the toes" of other classes. The reason behind this, is that in the Conversion Project I do not use the Monk class at all, since the whole Ki energy doesn't fit the world, so I just created this archetype to fit the idea of the monk in the Elder Scrolls setting, that is a stealth based unarmed combatant.
I hope you enjoy the class

The Elder Scrolls Conversion Project; New class, The Blackguard



Sorry for not posting for a few days, I was busy with real life stuff. Here it is, the Blackguard, a half-caster stealth based class with two subclasses. Ideal for stealthy mages who prefer a bit more magic than the Arcane Trickser has to offer. As with all of my classes, this can be used for non Elder Scrolls style of play, with relatively small amounts of tweaking. Obviously, the spell point system needs to be converted, as well as the spell list. For this class I would recommend a spell list similar to the sorcerer's.

The Elder Scrolls Conversion Project; Currency part I

The Empire uses gold coins as its currency called "Septims" or less frequently "drakes", or even "gold". Since this currency is different than the normal D&D copper-silver-gold-platinum coins, in this post you will see price lists, costs of living and so on. You can use this for any Elder Scrolls game, and not just D&D conversion, or alternatively, you could use it for any game, even not Elder Scrolls by simply changing the name of the coins.

The Elder Scrolls Conversion Project; Alchemy

Alchemy in the Elder Scrolls Games always played an important role. Potions and poisons were an important part of gameplay and tactics, characters could either boost themselves with powerful potions or put their enemies in tough situations by using them. Drinking potions is also an important way of regaining health and Magicka for adventurers when resting is out of questions. In this regard, the Elder Scrolls world is much more high magic than a default D&D setting, so a rework for potions and poisons is much needed.

Elder Scrolls Legion ranks

So, one of my players for the Elder Scrolls Conversion Project wants to play an Imperial Battlemage, and as such a member of the Imperial Legion. Now, I wanted to find a rank suitable for his character, but I wasn't really satisfied with the ranking system in Skyrim, being only 5 ranks in the legion, and the Morrowind ranks are just silly, I created my own, lore-friendly ranks. You can find them below.
