[QUOTE="Gez, post: 1714847, member: 1328"] You can't, of course, make an exact transcription of a PrC into a set of feats. And you shouldn't. Only the noteworthy class features need to be transcribed. In my examples, the AA doesn't get his seeking arrow or phase arrow powers, because, well, some stuff need to be sacrificed. Likewise, the Assassin gets no sneak attack progression. Ideally, a proper "conversion" would require to select no more than four special abilities (let's take the Shadowdancer: Hide in Plain Sight & Darkvision for the first feat, Shadow "cohort" for the second, Shadow Jump for the third) and the others should be forgot, purely and simply. Also, a more definitive conversion than my examples above, aside from less silliness in the write-up, should take advantage of this slicing of the class into feats to increase the prerequisites for each feat. They should be able to be taken sequentially (every three levels), so no additional feat requirement; but a few required skills should have their required ranks increased by 3. PrCs that do not correspond to organizations... Well, either ditch them completely, or attach them to an organization (:p) or convert them into another kind of feats. Like for the dragon disciple, legacy feats or whatever. [/QUOTE]
