(Updated on 3/2/2025)Castles & Crusades Society member, Duke Omote has created some kick ass house rules for Castles & Crusades, which he calls Advanced Castles & Crusades. One of the great features of C&C is that it is very easy to house rule the hell out of it. Omote demonstrates this with style with these rules, giving his take on elements of other editions of D&D. Want to add Feats ala D&D 3rd edition? Try his Talents rules. Like those Secondary Skills from 1st edition? Check out his rules for ‘em.
All of his stuff is great for supplementing your existing C&C game or perhaps easing the conversion from another version of D&D (e.g., 3.5 to C&C).

On his page, he has rules for:
- Racial Classes ala Basic D&D
- Skills ala AD&D 2nd edition (err, sorry, “non-weapon proficiencies”) and D&D 3rd edition
- Secondary Skills ala AD&D
- Weapon Mastery ala Basic D&D
- Talents (a.k.a. Feats) ala D&D 3rd edition
- And, as they say, much, much more.
Thanks Frost for posting some of this Advanced C&C stuff. When C&C first came out, pretty much all of the people I gamed with were reluctant to give up their feats, skills, etc. I had to devise a way to get diehard 3E players to even try C&C, and this was how I tried to do it. Funny enough, when we finally did start playing C&C regularly, we dropped many of these advanced C&C rules (but kept skills, as we play a more skill-based C&C game). Luckily enough, many players and GMs on the internets found these rules and started playing with them. From time to time I get some really great feedback on how these rules work in their game too! So if anybody can use them, all the best. Crussade On!
