Why should i convert to 5th edition?

I was wondering, our group has been playing 4th Ed for many, many years now, and our campaign is still on going!

So with our 4th Ed Characters, is there a way to convert them to 5th Ed, without totally getting lost with what you are doing!

And having you Characters turning out completely different to what they were like in 4th Ed??

I am actually pretty adept at converting characters. 4th edition characters often seem powerful compared to 5th edition expectations, but really this only is obvious with older characters (30+ years as a magus), and it is theoretically possible for a 5th edition character to progress at a similar rate.

You basically have to ignore the reccomended Virtue and Flaw restrictions, and you have to double check all of your spells. Once you convert one or two it gets easier, because you have converted versions of spells unique to your saga to build from.
