Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voadam" data-source="post: 3995062" data-attributes="member: 2209">I'd suggest you can.Consequences of no skills: DM has to adjudicate things people used skills for before and classes with good skill lists or good number of skill points lose a little edge while poor skill list and point classes (like fighters) lose a minor balancing weakness. Have to figure out resolving ambushes and noting hidden or approaching creatures. Not a big deal IMO. I don't know the OD&D skill system so I can't say how it could work in 3e.Consequences of no feats:1 no default item crafting2 no metamagic3 no special combat skill boosts or exceptions to rules4 fighters become d10 HD warriors who can use tower shields5 Rangers and monks lose a lot of class abilities6 wizards lose their rare bonus featsThis leaves you with:Barbarians: Still raging machines (no power attack, iron will or spring attack though)Bards: still have magic, bard music, bard knowledge, weak fightingClerics: Still overpoweredDruids: Still overpoweredFighters: Warriors with Tower Shields, lesser than paladins now.Monks: just have good punches, unarmored AC, good saves, and insane speed.Rangers: lightly armored warriors with favored enemy who later get animal companions and spells.Paladins: Fighters with holy powers and spells but no tower shield.Rogues: weak lightly armed warriors with sneak attack, evasion, uncanny dodgeSorcerers: Basically the sameWizards: Basically the same, slight weakening.</blockquote>
