As for feats and skills there are essentially two paths you can go. One is to keep it as identical as you can to 3E. Relate it to levels, to attributes, class sills, etc...Or you can go the route I did, full on SIEGE rules. This means to largely throw away the set formats of feats and skills. This means turn everything into a SIEGE check and get rid of the lists, pre req's etc...So with the way I do it you do not need a list of feats. You wan to do it make a SIEGE check to see if you can do it.You want to do what would be called a power attack in in 3E? Fine, roll a D20 and beat a TN of 12 with a CL equal to however many points you wish to transfer. Since you make this check using your BtH, you won't ever be transferring a lot, but you can consistently do it with a couple of points at a time. You wish to pull off a Whirlwind? Sure, but you must roll and beat a TN of 12 +4 + the average HD of the opponents against whom you wish to do the attack.Are you a spellcaster and you wish to maximize your spell? Sure, just roll and beat a TN of 12 +3 + the level of your spell being maximized. So if you want to maximize the fireball then you better beat a final TN of 18, adding only your level to your roll.So you get rid of the lists, maybe keep some of the level modifiers (like the +3 spell adjustment came straight from 3E feats), and just allow the players to roll for whatever effect it is they desire. They succeed at the roll, great, if not they don't get the effect. In the case of spells I have them lose the spell.Why? Well, it one thing to have a fighter attacking every round doing their 5 to 20 points per attack, but when the 10th level mage pulls off their maximized fireball, doing 30 or 60 points to everyone within the area of effect, that is like comparing a firecracker to a hand grenade. So having spellcasters lose their spell helps balance out their doing such maximizes and other powerful meta magic type feats.As to you other questions, I don't own the setting, so I don't know how the spells are written, but I am sure things can be modified, its just a question of how to go about doing it. I just can't help you since I don't have any reference. I do know there are some fans of the setting on the TLG forums, so maybe posting there and asking can get you some better feedback.</blockquote>
