[HOE] Dual Statting and conversions

["Damon M Sutton" <dms34@po.cwru.edu>]

I understand that the D20 and the Deadlands system are about as different as
two systems can be, but have people actually had much difficulty converting bad
guys from one to another?  After all, any game really has only the 

Weenies,
Mediums,
Toughs, 
Monsterous,
and
"Tentacle attack kills 2d6 party members"

   So all I've ever needed to ask myself is 'How tough is this beastie supposed
to be?', and give it stats of around that toughness.  

   There may be disagreements, "Ok, so my Automatons have a DR of 5, and my
players think it should have been a DR of 2", but as there is one marshall per
game, and that marshall makes the call, I'd think it's just a matter of making
the call, rolling some dice,and doing it.  

   Am I being too simplistic about converting characters?
