I ran my first Castles & Crusades adventure

[Mythmere1]

That player was the only one bothered by the lack of customization. It wasn't really a big deal to him, but at the same time this was only a one shot and the game was new for him.

I think that people used to 3e and feats would miss the possibility of customization on the long run (a full campaign). At least I would. In fact I am planning to develop a "feat system" for C&C. As such I will implement the possibility to get a feat at 1st, 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, etc. (as in 3e), but these won't be gained automatically, will be relatively simple feats (no feat chains, and nothing related to attacks of opportunity of course), and will be geared at making for the absence of kits and prestige classes (so more of a role-laying flavor thing). Okay, I always have been a powergamer and want to slightly beef up C&C.

Interestingly, I think players only mind the lack of customization at the beginning. It becomes more of a given later on.

LOL! I can understand that.

I've begun work on a simplified feat system myself (i.e. no attacks of opportunity). It's really designed for a lite D&D game, although I can see using some of them for C&C. If all goes well, I'll be using sort of a hybrid system. That's a topic for another thread, though.

I plan to "release" my houserules document before the end of this month (thereafter it will be too late because of job obligations). At that time I will ask everyone's comments and suggestion to improve it. Dragonhelm, I have already added some of your ideas in my "C&C feats" system...

So, see later for that!

Glad I was of some help. Looking forward to seeing your house rules.
