[QUOTE="Philotomy Jurament, post: 3652179, member: 20854"] If you feel the need to add the rules subsystems for feats, skills, and PrCs to C&C, then I'd question whether or not a switch is really necessary. IMO, C&C's strength is that it can handle almost all the same concepts/tasks without all the rules and crunch overhead. For example, I don't have a codified system of feats in C&C, but the built-in SIEGE engine can handle "feat-like actions" with aplomb, so I don't have to tell anyone "no, you can't try/do that" if they say they want to "power attack" or whatever. The same goes for skills. I don't have a codified skill system in my C&C game, but the SIEGE engine + the PC class + the PC's background can handle "skills." There's less granularity, but most of the time you don't really need all that granularity. (For example, if you're making a "dexterous fighter" then just make Dex prime -- he'll be good at all the "Dex stuff" without the need to use a system of selecting individual skills/feats/etc.) YMMV, as always.
