Everyone gets +1 to each ability score every X levels. Dispense with stat boosting magic altogther short of minor/major artifacts. Because of this, X can be a fairly low number (every 3 or even 2 levels). Everyone gets a frequent cookie, disparities are under control.2. Class based Defense bonus, Armor to DR. Keep the progressions between the classes nice and narrow and all magical enhancements to AC overlap.3. Tighten up the BAB progressions a little as well as Saves. If you think too many attacks are being made per round, I was toying with the idea once of having a single BAB value for every character. You can make a single attack at this value or make multiple attacks by reducing the BAB by say... 4 for each additional attack. So you could make one attack at BAB +20, or two attacks at +16 each, or three attacks at +12 each, etc. Most won't risk more than a couple attacks per round unless they are very confident (vs mooks for example) and being able to clean them up quickly isn't a bad thing either.4. Create your own spell list. You know what spells can potentially wreak havok on setting - clean 'em up, bump them up and remove them as you see fit. Sometimes just upping the casting times will prevent a lot of abuse. If teleport took an hour to cast (requiring a freshly prepared magical circle), then you don't have to worry about it's effects in combat. Further, you could add that teleport turns you into a great big glowing ball of light which you can see streaking across the sky towards it's destination. And if major divinations could only be cast on the holy days of your god (1/2 months say or only 1 commune per solstice) that will prevent a lot of abuse too. Just my 2 bits.</blockquote>
