Well, I still haven't actually played D&D 4th Edition, and it looks like my PnP group will probably be playing Star Wars Sage Edition (somthing about a jedi Revan, who was trying to recruit skilled jedi to fight the Mandalorians, but he had to be satisfied with us) and when our current 3.5 campaign finishes there's a general desire to try something that isn't D&D for a time. Still, I've been looking at 4th edition and trying to find ways to convert old characters in it. Many of mine were possible, although some required a bit of squinting and a few simply couldn't be done. After I'd done a few of these, I decided to go a little further afield and look at characters from BG2. I don't think there's much I can do with Cernd, which will disappoint his many fans, but most of the others look possible. The first two I've finished are Korgan and Valygar, and they are posted below.

Have you played KOTOR, by any chance?

and 4th edition makes me sad. I liked being able to bend reality to my will as a caster, even if it was unfair to the poor sword swingers.
