Message: <blockquote data-quote="Werebat" data-source="post: 4458648" data-attributes="member: 40158">Err, just for reference, this is the specifics of the E6 variant I am using in my home game:E6 General•    Characters progress in level as normal until reaching 6th level, at which point a bonus feat can be chosen for every 5000 experience points earned.  The character must still be able to meet the requirements of these feats in order to take them.•    Characters also gain one hit point for every 5000 experience points earned after 6th level (two hit points if their BAB is +6), and they gain a +1 bonus to hit with all attacks for every 25000 experience points earned after 6th level.Going Gestalt and Capstone Classes•    Upon reaching 6th level, each character chooses to either “go gestalt” or selects a “capstone class” (which he must have taken at least one level in).•    If a character chooses to “go gestalt”, he can choose to spend feats to acquire class abilities held by any classes that he has at least one level in.  These class abilities include actual class abilities as well as spellcaster levels, BAB, and saving throws (+1 advancement per feat spent).  He may never purchase class abilities that could not be earned by a character with six levels in the class in question.  Prestige class abilities can be earned this way so long as the level of the PrC required to achieve them could possibly have been reached by a 6th level character.•    If a character chooses to select a capstone class, he may never spend feats to acquire class abilities as described above (not even in his capstone class).  However, he is eligible to purchase up to three “capstone feats” that are tied to his capstone class.  These feats typically grant abilities not attainable until after the 6th level of the capstone class.  If a character has less than 6 levels in his capstone class, some of the abilities gained from his capstone feats may need to be modified to account for this.Magic Items•    Artificers cannot use their abilities to emulate spells of higher than 3rd level.  As a result, no magic items requiring spells of higher than 3rd level are available for purchase in the markets of Sharn or any other area.•    The caster level for the creation of any item can be lowered to the minimum level required to cast the spells needed to create it.  Thus, any item or item enhancement that requires no spell higher than 3rd level in its creation can be found in the markets of Sharn and elsewhere, so long as its other requirements could be met by a 6th level character.  Thus, Boots of Speed could be found for purchase even though their required Caster Level is officially 10th.•    Players may request otherwise uncraftable items to be placed as treasure, and I will make an honest effort to do so at an appropriate time as long as the items do not seem disruptive to the game (especially if they are central to the character’s concept).  These “artifacts” may have been crafted long ago by giants, dragons, or even deities.New E6 FeatsAbility Advancement (General)Your training pays off, and one of your Abilities increases.
