I see you're also an incorrigible editor (so we have 2 things in common)
D&D with E6 can handle a LOT of concepts, thanks to splats. There's something like 60 base classes now... and a nigh-infinite supply of feats. Just crack open a dragon magazine and it goes from "Cool feat, but I'll never use it because I don't get enough" to "Cool feat! I'm so going to take that!"

Crystal Keep's file is pretty good. Referencing many of WOTC closed content stuff.

And, the Net Book of Feats has over 1,000 OGL feats and counting.

There seems to be no shortage of feats.
Edited to add:
This pdf of feats looks promising, too. Though, I don't have it, yet.

Conviction
Have you used Conviction to dual-roll (and take the higher) or re-roll anything other than d20s, like weapon/spell damage? I've seen crits at key moments flop, doing much less than regular max damage, and 10d6 spells do 14 points of damage (save for 7).
I could also see a desire to re-roll cure spells cast in the midst of combat that heal the minimum amount. Heck, since I have the players roll for the random encounter check, I could even see a desire to re-roll that.
If you haven't done it, do you see anything wrong with it? At the moment, I can't see that it'd change play much more than your current Conviction rules do.

I recently thought of another implication that is a result of E6's level cap. It seems that it would make playing a human much less desirable. With only 1 level based ability score boost and less powerful ability score boosting items, the +2 to an important stat for playing a half-orc or dwarf (for example) seems much more valuable. You are only losing one feat, and you will get that back your first 5K of experience after 6th level. Have you noticed less human PC's in your game? What do you think of having the ability score boosts at 3rd and 6th level instead of at 4th and 8th? I know this is tweeking, but it really doesn't change the game that much.

I think this is a very valid point -- like the fighter, anything that grants bonus feats is now significantly less powerful. Fighters can be fixed by granted them powerful Fighter6-only feats, but humans need something else -- even the extra skill piont doesn't matter, since the Open Minded feat grants extra skill points when taken, and can be taken repeatedly.
