Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has tried making 3.5 conversions of the old system.

Some ideas or books to cover certain subjects are below:

Power Structure
Powers of Faerun

Battles
Cry Havoc by Malhovic press

Battle Magic
I believe that there is a Dragon article dealing with this.

Bloodlines
There is stuff on some bloodlines in Unearthed Arcana; however, I don't think that it fits exactly.

Any ideas would be welcomed.

Have you tried the BRCS at birthright.net yet?

Fields of blood is probably the most "complete" system published that is not Birthright setting specific.

I thought about using dragonmarks from the Eberron Campaign Setting. I simply call them bloodmarks. Here's an example of what I have so far.


Birthright Bloodmarks

Minor Bloodmark [General]
You have a minor bloodmark.
Benefit: You gain a minor bloodmark and the use of one spell-like ability associated with the bloodmark of your bloodline (see the section for information on bloodmarks). You also gain a +2 sacred (profane for those of Azrai) bonus on a chosen skill.
A saving throw against your bloodmark spell-like ability has a DC of 10 + the level of the spell + your Cha modifier.
Your caster level for your minor bloodmark spell-like ability is 1 + your level in the bloodmark scion prestige class and scion of [insert deity name] (if any).

Major Bloodmark [General]
You have a major bloodmark
Prerequisites: Minor Bloodmark, 9 ranks in chosen skill.

Your caster level for your minor, major, and great bloodmark spell-like abilities increases to 10 + your level in the bloodmark scion prestige class and scion of [insert deity name] (if any).

Thanks GG, that's an interesting way to do it. I have to admit that I don't know much about Eberron but it looks pretty good.

irdeggman, I love the stuff there. Thanks, it had pretty much everything I was looking for.
One question though, where can I locate the Atlas that is referenced in the BRCS? Is it still in development? If so, where would one go to locate work done already or make contributions?

It has not been "completed" yet.

There is a thread there called d20 Atlas that contains discussion information. Some of the contributors have posted the "sections" they had completed so at least something can be gleamed from it.

I was not directly involved in that part, focusing instead on the BRCS portion but the people working on it are very competent, albeit trapped in that viscious cycle of "real world syndrome".
