[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 3617443, member: 35788"] Interesting Question. Within the last month I've purchased "Buy the Numbers" - a pdf you can get through ENWorld's RPGNow affiliation. It has totally changed my approach to gaming in that I've never really liked the "preformed" class idea. I'd much rather design classes that I want to play rather than being forced to take a whole PrC for this ability or that ability. If you think along those terms, it is totally worth the money. [NOTE: I have a college degree in Mathematics, and I do have a few problems with his mathematical progression and value assignment. But on the whole, it is a beautiful product] Off the cuff, my suggestion would be to follow these rules: 1. Figure out the minimum character level this PrC ability could be taken at. [Although in a campaign where not everyone benefits from this feat generation ability you might want to take Crothian's suggestion above and jack it up a level or two] 2. Pick out all the skill based PrC prerequisites that have anything to do with the class ability in question. [Craft sounds like a big one for this ability, but also Knowledge (_?_)] Make the ability a feat with skill checks equal to ability level from #1 plus 3. 3. Figure out any feats that sound like a legitimate prerequisite. PrC prerequisites are a great place to start for this one. 4. Figure out any class abilities that make sense to have as prerequisites. (if any) Run it by the new DM and have fun. [/QUOTE]
