Had a bit of time off lately so I knocked up an Expert rulebook (inspired by OD&D and 3E flavor-wise).
It rebalances things for a slightly more challenging game experience. Slower resting (and healing), many (many) feat, class, archetype and spell tweaks. The main goal was better balance across the board, removal of nova options, and an increase in overall difficulty. Features the dreaded '3d6 in order' from the Red Box. plus ressurection survival from AD+D (only this time in brand new d20 format).
My favorite additions are a few dozene Tome of Battle inspired battlemaster manouvers.
Includes homebrew archetypes: Cavalier, Thief Acrobat, Thug, Arcane bloodline, Savage barbarian, Circle of Blight, Circle of the Beast, and Magician. Beefed up PDK as a Warlord. New magic items including the Monks Belt, holy weapons, and the fabled shortsword of backstabbing.
Magic items have been rebalanced, costed and rules from creation/ selling/ crafting/ buying (taken from UA Downtime, but tweaked).
Five new Faerun Elven subraces also included (Lythari, Wild Elves, Sea elves, Star elves and Avariel), plus new feats including Weapon Specialisation.
Rebalanced Ranger and 4 Elements Monk (taken from a different homebrew and tweaked further), plus beasmaster and Bladelock tweaks.
Feats rebalanced include GWM and SS among others.
Here's a link.
