One thing that I have found to work decently is to make the character
level equal to 2x the grit and then build from there, using feats to
make up for the new weak points that the character didn't have before.
If they don't have grit... guess. The characters will not be exactly the
same, but as Shane said, they are two totally different systems. A while
ago someone cooked up a table to convert stats such as 4d12 and 3d8 to
the standard D20 3-18 rolls. I can't find it at the moment, but it
seemed to work.
