Message: <blockquote data-quote="trollwad" data-source="post: 1716660" data-attributes="member: 19187">the short answer is 'no' -- to the question of do the explicit rules currently allow you to gain an extra prime as you level over time.on the other hand, c&c is such a rules-lite template that it is no big deal to add or tweak a few things.  by comparison, 3.5E is very rules heavy and the various rules interact a great deal, so any  rules changes is like pulling a thread from a shirt where the interconnections threaten to unravel the entire garment.  I was planning on making (at least three) house rules in my c&c game over some time period:1) I was thinking about giving the players one less prime to start and letting them earn that prime when they hit say level 5.2) I was thinking about creating a list of 20 or so permitted 3.5e feats and allowing the pcs to pick one at level three or so and one at level 10 or so (or use them in place of standard character class abilities if desired).  This will address the issue of character heterogeneity while preventing the rules heaviness of having 8-10 feats per character and npc as you can have for a 3.5e fighter.  For example, allow pcs who want to be a great grappler to pick improved grappling and give up weapon specialization or allow a thief to pick up evasion and give up something (say picking locks and moving silently) and become more of an elusive acrobat type.  Say I want to make a duelist.  Inform the dm that my fighter wants to be a duelist type.  If he says yes, take primes in dex and either int, charisma, or strength.  Ask for permission to swap out combat dominance for improved disarm per 3.5e (subject to say wearing light armor and not being heavily encumbered).  Say I want to be an archer -- take a prime in dex, weapon specialization in bow, ask your dm to swap for combat focus (bow) and/or precise shot instead of combat dominance.  Voila, you are robin hood.3) I was going to convert a handful of the classes and prestige classes that I like from 3.5e (e.g. spellsword, master thrower, stonelord, earth dreamer, maybe specialist mages, sorcerors, swashbucklers).  This would probably take 30 minutes per class conversion since c&c is pretty simple.The point is C&C is a paradise for dm's who want a system that is simple and fast, but who enjoy tweaking the game with a few house rules.  Even after these tweaks, you can run a far far faster and less preparation intensive set of adventures than 3.5e.anyway, that is my take on C&C.</blockquote>
