As one can tell if they've looked around this web site, I like CGI's HarnWorld setting. Which is why I've converted it into GURPS, CORPS, and now EABA. As with all of my conversions, the reader will need both the EABA and HarnWorld (not the rules, just the setting) materials to use this conversion properly. Be sure to check out the 101 Harnic Encounters on this site for all your Harnic adventure needs (or the really nice, art-filled PDF version).

Scale and Measurements.
HarnWorld uses a form of English measurements; feet, yards, pounds, etc. EABA uses a metric system. As the EABA gear covers just about all the gear and weapons Harn has, it is simpler to use metric values. But conveniently, the Harnic yard is equal to meter, so using maps and such provided in HarnWorld material should be no issue.

HarnWorld has its own economic and monetary systems. These values should be used instead of those prices in the EABA equipment list. A discussion of gear, and stats for some Harnic specific weapons, are at the bottom of this page.

Character Conversions.
EABA uses a different skill and attribute system than does Harn. There are always some gaps and required fudging when converting between systems. But when changing systems, some of us like to keep our old characters. It is probably best to re-create the new character using its concept and background, but the following system can be used to take HM characters to EABA. These attribute conversions are taken from the d20 conversion that can be found on BTRC's web site (and are not reproduced here), as HM attributes are on a similar scale. Convert HarnMaster stats to EABA attributes as described below, rounding fractions up.
 

Harn Master Attributes	EABA Attributes
Strength	Strength
Endurance	Health
(Agility+Speed)/2(u)	Agility
(Eye+Hearing +SmT+Int)/4(u)	Awareness
Will	Will
Aura	Fate

GMs may also allow a PC to represent particularly high or low (+/- 5) values for Eye, Hearing, Sm/T, or Intelligence with a Forte or Weakness.

Skill Conversion.
HarnMaster uses a percentile skill resolution system. The following table shows the HarnMaster Skill Index (1/10 of total EML). The EABA column shows the
TOTAL skill roll needed to be the equivalent. To find the actual EABA skill level, subtract the converted attribute level of the governing skill. The remainder will be EABA skill level. If the remainder is less than 1d, that skill is treated as being unskilled (default -1d). Note that restriction on maximum skill bonus and attribute modifiers should still be observed.
 

HarnMaster SI	EABA Total Skill Roll
1	1d+0
2-3	2d+0
4	3d+0
5-6	4d+0
7	5d+0
8	6d+0
9	7d+0
10+	8d+0

Characters.
Harn is gritty and realistic world. Most people will be built on the Low Normal scale, while PCs should be built on the Normal scale. Of course generous GMs may allow Heroic PCs, but might limit these to nobles, wizards, or other races.

Harn's trait that allows one to twist the natural order of things to your will is called Aura. For this conversion, the term Fate will still be used, but groups may wish to call it Aura to keep that Harnic feel. In Harn, Fate determines one's ability with magic, rituals, and psionics.

In the Harnic concept, one's ability to use religious rituals with a real world effect is separate from Aura. But to fit it to EABA, Fate will be used as the governing attribute. And who is to say that the ability to call on Fate to adjust die rolls isn't a divine blessing?

Races.
Humans:
Mankind is the prevalent sapient race on Kethira. While the various races (Harnic, Jarin, and Ivinian) have different traits, these are mostly cosmetic and cultural. There are no differences for racial packages. Many will suffer social penalties, notably the Jarin and Barbarians, depending on where they are.

Khuzdul:
These are the Dwarves of Harn. They resemble humans enough that those who don't know different will not be able to pick them out of a crowd. In fact many humans don't believe they really exist. This may or may not constitute a Secret if living among humans, at the GM's discretion. The Khuzdul live much longer than humans, and their aging brackets are doubled starting with the Young Adult. Racial Package: Forte, Strength (+1d Upper Arms); Forte, Awareness (+1d Low
Light Vision); Toughness (1 Level). Total Cost: 20 A.

Sindar:
The Sindar are so utterly different physiologically and psychologically, their package is represented by a Blessing (Sindar). GMs should be careful in allowing Sindarin PCs as they are quite powerful, and they should be built on the Heroic scale (100 A/S) to represent their long, learned lives.

This blessing includes the following: Immortality, No aging, Needs no sleep, Full immunity to normal diseases, +1 Agility, +1d to all senses rolls, +1d looks, +1d to all Psionic abilities, +1d for all Tracking, Stealth, and Survival rolls, +1d for all healing rolls, Native language skill imparts literacy at +0d. Sindar also suffer from a -1d Will when confronted with disturbing, cruel, or petty events and feel a duty to preserve nature. Due to their immortality and memory functions, Sindar are always treated as Mature. Total Cost: 40 A.

Morsindar:
The Morsindar are Sindar who have become bitter at the loss of Harn to the Lythian barbarians. They are effectively the same as Sindar, but no longer feel the need to preserver nature, feel hatred towards all humans (Personality 2 levels when dealing with humans), and may have other psychological conditions such as depression, severe moodiness, sadism, or jealousy. Morsindar characters should have at least 2 levels of negative Personality traits, fitting their mindset. Total Cost: 40 A/ +20S.
There is a non-canon write up of the Morsindar.

Sidhe:
The Sidhe are the ancient, "old blood" elven race. While respected for their age, spirituality, and wisdom, they have no higher social status in Sindarin society. They have the same package as the Sindar, but have the Power to travel to Faya and +1 to Awareness. Total Cost: 50 A/ 10S.

Aenarin:
These are the very rare half-elves of Harn. While they have some of their Sindarin ancestor's traits, they are not immune and never immortal. Aenarin are long lived however, and age like the Khuzdul. They gain Forte, Awareness (+1d all senses rolls); Forte, Health (+1d to resist disease); Looks (+1d appearance).
Total Cost: 15 A.

Traits.
Only low power, real-world traits should be used for PCs. Suitable Traits will be Enemies, Fortes, Friends, Looks, Motivation, Pain Tolerance, Personality, Secret, Status, Unusual Background, Weakness, and Wealth. Some traits are described in more detail below.

Age. Most characters should start in the Adult age range, as most folks in a medieval setting were set to work and considered adults at an early age. GMs may allow older or younger PCs as they see fit. Note that the Sindar and Khuzdul age differently than humans as described above.

Gifted. GMs should be careful to allow any gifted traits. Magic and ritual powers are covered under discreet skills, though some psionics will fall into the gifted categories. Racial abilities are covered in each race and are not available to those not of that race.

Mythic Archetypes. As Harn is not particularly meant to be a typical dungeon crawl, epic heroes, sort of setting, use of the Mythic Archetypes do not really fit in. But then again, Harn can be a world of heroes and a GM may allow it if the PCs fit the archetype.

Status. As a medieval world, the status levels on 2.17 match well enough. HarnWorld describes the right, privileges, and duties of the various social levels well enough that they need not be repeated here. Chiefly among these is the right to bear chivalric arms. There are some other considerations however. Every character must have a social status described.

One level of Status covers knights, manor lords, and other unlanded, minor nobles. A noble PC can purchase levels of the Personality trait to represent extra fame or status from past deeds or a powerful family. Powerful guildsman, such as bonded masters or Mangai members, and official men-at-arms will also have one level of Status, though it obviously incurs different rights than nobles. All guildsmen must be at least of Freeman status.

Barbarian characters will also have a social status within their tribe. While usually not so formal, save in the case of shaman, chieftains, or gender biases, status in a tribe is just as important. A barbarian social status is irrelevant in feudal societies, and should be played appropriately.

Replace the titles on the chart on 2.17 as follows for noble status: Earl becomes Baron and Duke becomes Earl.

Religious Status. The legal clergy of Harn are afforded status due to the influence of the church. Clergy pay the same amount of points for their circle in the church, using the chart on 2.17. Acolytes are equivalent to Freemen. First and Second Circles are equivalents of Knights. Third and Fourth Circles are as Earls. Fifth and Sixth Circles are as Dukes. Clerical rights and privileges are not the same as that of nobility, and are described in detail in HarnWorld, Gods of Harn, and HM Religion.

Toughness. This trait should only be allowed at one level for normal human characters.

Unusual Background. This can cover any number of "normal" unusual characteristics (what ever those may be), such as access to otherwise restricted skills. One specific Unusual Background is Divine Power. It is used by clergy who can "cast" actual rituals. Those with the Ritual skill, without this trait, can't produce the spell-like effects of those rituals listed.

Wealth. Use the starting wealth as described in the HarnWorld income table, modifying it as described for the Wealth trait on page 2.18. One's status is often tied directly to wealth, and GMs may award a free level of Wealth for anyone with one or more levels of Status. This isn't necessarily the case however; there are poor nobles!

A list of medical and psychological conditions listed in HarnMaster for possible use as Fortes, Weaknesses, or other Traits can be found on my  CORPS page.
 

Skills.
HarnMaster has a long list of skills, covering the vast crafts of the people of the Misty Isle. Below is the Harnic skill list. Specializations are listed after the semicolon.

Most people will have the following free skills:
Native Language: +0d
Native Culture: +0d

Most people of Harn are illiterate. They must have at least a +1d skill level to be able to read and write that language.

Native Culture includes not only the common customs of a PCs home area and kingdom, but also the local geography and lay rituals of their religion.

* The Martial Arts skill is optional with the GMs permission. HarnMaster Gold introduced canon martial styles, mostly from religious orders. The skill can also be purchased for weapon styles for more heroic campaign settings, though that is not canon. Purchasing either should require an Unusual Background trait to represent their limited circulation.
 

Careers.
A person in HarnWorld is defined by their occupation as much as by their status.
Following is a list of Harnic occupations, required traits (notably Status), and skills that should be purchased. Skills listed with a value (+1d etc) represent minimum skill levels that must be purchased. This is usually with Language skills, representing being literate. It also lists the average time it takes to complete an apprenticeship. Assuming starting about 12, this will still put most Journeymen in the Adult age bracket. Note that these skill levels are not required, but what a reasonably competent person in that field should have.

Alchemists are scholars and scientists dedicated to studying elements, chemicals, herbs, and anything else that involves making elixirs to help them achieve their own ends. The practitioners of alchemy range anywhere from deranged quacks stoned on their own concoctions, men simply trying to find the easy way to make gold, to those serious minded academics seeking to understand that which is Kethira. Alchemists are often guilded (Guild of Arcane Lore). Training is about 7 years.
Skills: Alchemy, Astrology, Brewing, Herblore, Mineralogy, Language +1d.

Animal Trainers are those skilled in the training of animals for duties or performing. The most common occupation for animal trainers will be to train hounds and falcons for the hunting pleasure of the nobility. More rarely they will be found in performers troupes where, depending on location, anything from dancing bears to prancing ponies will be trained by them. Animal trainers are freemen. Training is about 3 years.
Skills: Animalcraft, Hideworking, Riding.*

Apothecaries are folk skilled in the gathering, preparation, and sale of herbal remedies and medicines. While some may have rudimentary physician skills, most rely on their makings to heal ills.

Skills: Herblore, Alchemy, Math, Physician, Language +1d.*

Astrologers are those learned in the ways of the stars and planets. Many of them use the alignment and signs of celestial bodies for divination, which also leads the astrologers to gain a knowledge of other sorts of seering. Astrologers are freemen or guilded (Guild of Arcane Lore). Training is about 4 years.
Skills: Astrology, Cartography, Math, Tarotry, Language +1d.

Beggars are pretty much that. Due to economic hardships, or sometimes just pure laziness, some turn to panhandling for change on the streets. Beggars are also often very aware of the shadier goings on of the street, many are actually employed by the Lia Kavair. Beggars are freemen (ah, the privilege of freedom!), but may have a low status or Personality penalties. There is no training as such.
Skills: Intrigue, Blades (Dagger), Sleight of Hand.

Cartographers nominally are experts in surveying and map making. However most are specialized artists, making pleasing looking maps based on hearsay and second hand descriptions.

Skills: Artist (Drawing), Cartography, Math, Language +1d, Several Area Knowledge skills.

Skills: Timbercraft, Survival, Carpentry, Metalcraft.*

Skills: Textilecraft, Hideworking, Jewelcraft, Language +1d.*

Cooks are those people who have learned specialized techniques using herbs, exotic ingredients, and rare recipes. Some of course, are no better (or far worse) than average household cooks.

Training is about 3 years.
Skills: Cookery, Herblore.*

Courtesans are often mistakenly thought of as little more than high priced whores.

Skills: Lovecraft, Intrigue, Sing, Musician, Language +1d.

Skills: Agriculture, Weatherlore, Animalcraft.*

Fishermen are common, and manage to ply their trade anywhere fish can be caught.

Skills: Fishing, Seamanship, Weatherlore, Piloting.

Gladiators are people who risk their lives fighting for the entertainment of others.

However one got to the arena, living gladiators are either very new or very deadly. Gladiators are freemen or slaves. Training is about 4 years.
Skills: Brawling, Weapon Skills, Shield, Physician.

Glassworkers are some of the most highly skilled artisans on Harn. Glassworking is a relatively new (to humans) and very advanced skill.

Skills: Brewing, Cookery, Intrigue, 2nd Language, Language +1d.

Jesters are performers, mainly concerned with physical acts of balance or comedy. Whether falling over or juggling knives, jesters are always popular. Their witticisms however are often questionable.

Knights are noble and Squires often are as well, but not always. Training is about 7 years.
Skills: Weapon skills, Shield, Riding, Intrigue, Heraldry, Musician, Singing, Physician.

Legionnaires are specific to the armies of Tharda (on Harn at any rate). Tharda is the only kingdom on Harn that maintains a full time, standing army.

Skills: Weapon skills, Shield, Survival, Heraldry, Physician, Riding.

Lexigraphers manufacture and sell vellum, parchment, quills, inks and other scribing materials. As Harn has no paper, Lexigraphers buy calfskin and lambskin to make parchment.

Skills: Hideworking (parchment & vellum), Drawing, Language +1d.*

Lia-Kavair are the organized crime element of Harn.

Skills: Weapon skills, Shield, Survival, Heraldry, Physician, Ride.

Training is about 7 years.
Skills: Masonry, Carpentry, Engineering, Math, Language +1d.*

Mercantylers are those who are involved in trade of all sorts. Most are simple peddlers that operate within a small region, but some are more adventurous sailors and caravan masters.

Skills: Intrigue, Math, Weapon skill, 2nd Language, Language +1d.

Mercenaries are swords for hire.

Skills: Weapon skills, Shield, Survival, Physician.
This site contains two articles on Harnic mercenaries.

Skills: Milling, Engineering, Agriculture, Math, Language +1d.*

Miners are the men responsible from pulling precious minerals and gems from the earth. Most mines on Harn tend to be open pit mines. Some miners are skilled engineers, but most are runaways (to whom the guild offers free status to if they serve for a year) that perform hard manual labor. Miners are guilded (Miners' Guild). Training is about 6 years.
Skills: Mineralogy, Engineering, Carpentry, Metalcraft, Jewelcraft.

Ostlers are the horse breeders, trainers, and caretakers of Harn. They are mostly employed by nobles for their personal stock, or by inns to take care of guests' horses. They also make leather tack other riding gear, as well as taking care of the stables. Ostlers are guilded (Ostlers' Guild). Training is about 6 years.

Perfumers are craftsmen who manufacture and sell soap, perfume, incense, and similar items.

Perfumers are guilded (Perfumers' Guild). Training is about 6 years.
Skills: Perfumery, Alchemy, Herblore, Language +1d.

Physicians are the practitioners of Harn's primitive medical techniques. Some are skilled surgeons with an actual knowledge of the human anatomy, but many are simply quacks and charlatans selling phony elixirs. While a physicians' guild does exist, it is very weak and as such many physicians are not members. While they can administer medicines, the right to make and sell them are held by the Apothecaries' Guild. Physicians are usually guilded (Physicians' Guild). Training is about 7 years.
Skills: Physician, Herblore, Alchemy, Language +1d.*

Pilots are shipboard navigators. While the captain may decide what the final destination is, it is the pilot who plots the course, how much sail to deploy, and calculates the ship's position.

Armory and Gear:
Harn falls into a mix of the Primitive and Basic eras technology wise. There are no firearms or gunpowder. All Primitive and Basic era weapons (9.4) are available (except firearms and explosives), and most Harnic weapons or their equivalents can be found in EABA. All Primitive and Basic era armor (9.5) is available, but plate armor is only available as spot protection (i.e. no fully articulated plate). All Primitive and Basic era stuff (9.6) is available. It is best to use the values for good and gear from the Harn World supplement.

There are a few Harn specific weapons. Their EABA attributes are as follows.
