Does anyone know or have a link to some conversion rules for changing Shadowrun-3 damage rating to Shadowrun-4 damage value and armor piercing value?

I thank anyone in advance for any feedback.

Haven't seen anything like that. I suggest looking at some of the basic weapons and seeing what the numbers were changed to.

I found this: http://www.hoosierhackerhouse.com/sr4/sr4_damage_conv.html
But it's not an accurate conversion because its designed to "boost" damage values.

Wow, ouch yeah. That is way way way too high to be an accurate conversion.

What damage, exactly, is it you're needing to convert?

Melee weapons (and the basic formula for melee damage) is already covered, for the most part. Just look at the SR3 weapon, look at the SR4 weapon, and voila. Likewise for firearms, explosives, ramming/crashing damage, falling damage, spell damage...

...what's missing, that requires a "conversion chart" or something, instead of just looking up the source of the damage under the regular SR4 rules?

I'm guessing some specific weapon that wasn't converted.

I am pretty sure that they never used any kind of formula for SR1, SR2/3, or SR4. Rather they just picked some values for Heavy Pistol and Assault Rifle that seemed to work well with the system, and then fit in the others as weaker, in-between, or strronger based on popular perception of the weapons.

So as others mentioned find the most similar weapon already in the game, and go with its damage.

Along those line I made a Shadowrun caliber table over at SWW (since tables don't work here).

Nice table!

exotic damages, like 2D.

High damage, positive AP.

2D from what source? Is it a specific weapon, a fall, a narcotic, an unarmed attack (low strength, lots of Killing Hands, maybe?), or what?

Because it really seems to me that rather than convert over a given damage code, the logical (and easy, which is just as important!) way to go is to worry about the source of the damage, and see how it is handled under the new rule system. I'm not harping on it to be difficult, but -- in fact -- for quite the opposite reason. Rather than handling it on a damage code per damage code basis, it seems like figuring out the problem, to make the same situation more easily converted next time, would be the way to go.

Dikote!

No, it's not. Everything that could possibly give a benefit from Dikote in 2070s comes with it already.

The age of Diamond is upon us!

And If you spent 1 complex Action to make it "Glisten and Gleam" it gives you the "Pimp Effect" (+1 Dice to Intimidate the Enemy)
