Probably eliminate 75% of all feats, especially class-specific ones. Maybe give a lower allotment of feats too. The main problem is probably the magic items - 4E magic items taste like cardboard. I'd take the DMG2 no-magic-items rule and then make up my own magic items along 1-2E lines.My second choice would be to start from 1E. I never liked 2E much.One thing you did not mention that is a major difference between 1/2 E and later editions is the fixed xp table for all classes. The bard did not suck if you took his much faster level progression in mind. Sure. the rogue part of the bard was not impressive, but by xp a bard was almost as good a spellcaster as a wizard. But a unified xp table for all classes is a blessing, especially if you want to start the game at a certain level. In 1-2E, you should not start at a certain level but with an xp budget if things were to work out.</blockquote>
