Whew, a lot of work for the first draft. So, you made it this far, what do you think? Does this work or is it just a waste of time? Something overpowered, underpowered? I stuck to the phb most of the time, reduced levels for a couple things, but tried not to make any glaring errors. Im happy to discuss. Also, could the druid or monk be done as an advanced class? How about Sorceror?
