Hmm, question - I'm assuming that since Alchemy = Big and Magic = Not so Big, that the Spellcasting requirements on Craft: Alchemy will be suspended?
Also, in regards to the last post about Extra Skill points : Instead of (Or, maybe, in addition to) extra skill points, I'd think a more 'educated' society would have more CLASS skills as opposed to so many being cross class, with some obvious ones being nearly nonexistant (Knowledge:Arcana/The Planes, and Spellcraft spring to mind, while other knowledge skills would probably be MORE common.)
As for nonmagical equipment, I like the "Masterwork/Exceptional quality" functions... You could still have a "+2 sword", it just wouldn't be a MAGICAL +2. (Such a system exists in both d20modern and star wars).
Also, if you're doing the Class defense bonus, then perhaps the armour=DR variant? I know armour would be a bit out-of-date in a time like this, but even in Modern times people still wear (Albeit highly different) armour. Elven Chain could be the equivalent of Kevlar.. Light fitting, good protection, etc. Full plate = Tactical full-body armour?
