Haven't read it all yet but I in particular like these:-Half Ref to dodge AC. When you think about it it REALLY makes no sense for a level 20 Rogue to get a dodge bous(none) equivalent to that of a 1st level commoner. -Strain/Tolerance. Though Wizards can STILL prepare for any given scenario, they can prepare for less a day, meaning a long gauntlet of spaced weaklings will pose a more significant challenge.- New Coup de grace rules.- Degrees of forification.- Multiclassing is FREE.Things I think should be expanded on/Ideas:- Fighters and meelee are STILL mostly 1-2 trick ponies. Foil action adds power but not a whole lot of versatility. Perhaps try giving them things similar to skill tricks++. Say running on walls for monks and rogues,  throwing sand into peoples eyes,  being able to reimagine the landscape with sheer brute strength, etc.-  Perhaps a way of calculating a races LA. Like LA0 races have 5 'race' points, LA+1 have 10. +1 to an Ability score: 1 point, -2 to an ability score: -1 points and so forth quadratically. Racial abilities will need a cost. Powerful build might be worth 4 points. This will allow new races to be integrated seemlessly and allow new races to be added in a balanced manner.- Maybe a slight increase to the strain costs for mid level spells/a scaling cost for caster level spell cast at. Wizards can still spam the likes of Black Tentacles all day at higher levels with a +28 to grapple.- Maybe allow opposing elemental effects via a 'strobe' effect. Waves of heat followed by cold is actually MORE devastating than simply twice as much of either.</blockquote>
