"I was eating the cereal and I had all these questions and comments. Fortunately there was a number on the box.."

First of all, it came to my attention that my Rogue Trader book DID in fact arrive yesterday, just no one thought it important to mention this little fact to me. I've read through quite a bit of it and I must say I REALLY, REALLY like the new character creation scheme. The use of the Origin Paths and all the ways in affects your character are really quite interesting. I used it on a lark to see what path Praetus would take and found the bonuses, penalties and skills/talents granted to be highly appropriate. I really like the system. The changes to the psychic system is interesting and a bit difficult to figure out but it looks like it has potential. On the whole, well done Fantasy Realms.
As for the questions, they are mostly in regards to Character Creation for the game. Specifically, if we are inclined to do so, how are we going about adapting/changing our old characters for the new system? Are we:
1) Doing a COMPLETE re-roll of the characters and using the Origin Paths and career outlines to essentially resurrect our old characters personas in the new skill sets a career paths.
2) Maintaining our character as they were, but ceasing their old career paths and picking up whichever path applies to them now. For example keeping Praetus with whatever skills he has gained thus far as an Adept and then placing him on the Seneschal Career Path.
3) Maintain our characters as they were AND remaining on the Dark Heresy Career paths, with the ability to pick skills/talents from the Rogue Trader Career paths if the character is within that experience level rank.
Or 4) GM has an even cooler idea.
