straightforward, but requires a little effort.

• WOIN does not rely on the “christmas
tree” of magical items to balance a 7 14 8d6
creature that the 3.x rules system does. 8 16 9d6
Generally speaking, when converting a
9 18 9d6
3.x adventure, remove all the magic
items. Leave (and convert) only those 10 20 10d6
that are plot-relevant, particularly 11 22 10d6
interesting, or thematically important to
an NPC. An NPC shouldn't need more 12 24 10d6
than one or two notable items, unless his 13 26 11d6
schtick is “having lots of magic items”.
• WOIN is a much 'flatter' game in terms 14 28 11d6
of numbers than 3.x. Things like 15 30 11d6
HEALTH will be much lower.
• Always round down to a minimum of 1. 16 32 11d6

continues moving, inflicts natural damage, and
the target is knocked prone. This costs 2d6.
