Ok, I'm 5 sessions into a campaign mixing EoM with standard magic. We began at 10th level and are now 11th. The fluff is that fey and elves use EoM and other races generally use standard magic.
In the party, I have a human sorceror, a human druid, and a dwarven favored soul on the traditional side and an elven taskmage and an elven mageknight/mage on the EoM side. I've won over the players of the druid and sorceror, but the favored soul is adamant that the system is unbalanced and he is gradually winning over the mageknight to the point that he is considering creating a new character. The players are willing to accept "I'm the DM and we are experimenting with this." But I really want to win them over. 3 of the players are engineers or otherwise math savvy folks, and I'm not.
So far they have had particular difficulty with being able to cast buff spells on several individuals or for long time periods and with the range of heal spells and also the versatility of the system. I've statted up the spells the sorceror uses and shown that they are all much higher level in EoM, but I'm not making much progress with their opinions.
