Rycanada, I like what you are doing with e6 and it seems to be working well for you!
Personally, I'd adapt your system slightly starting with:
- 8th Level Cap: because 4th Level Spells are still not the problematic ones that the 5th Level ones cast by 9th Level characters. Also some of the Feat prerequisites seem to fit better here, particularly for Fighters with +8 BAB.
- Slower Level Advancement: Less XP or greater XP needed to advance each level. At least twice as much to keep roughly the same time to get to the top (I'd make it even slower than that but that's because I think that 3e advancement is way too fast).
- Feat per Level: to give more of the rewards at each step of the way.
- I'd also have the "name level" 9th and 10th Levels act as an end-game Epic Advancement Quest that a character would have to really work towards like the old Basic/Expert/etc. D&D's quest for divinity (not just something to be advanced into with XP).
That said, we'll each find our own "Sweet Spot" for some levels 1-3 would be best, for you 1-6, for me 1-8, for the default D&Der's 1-20.
Anyway, great idea keep on running with it...
