Oh, the classes are very different, even within the same source or role (or in a few cases, Bard v Artificer, frex both) - nothing much to do with the big numbers floating around everyone.I wouldn't go that far. After all, there is a tangible difference between the classes, but for the most part you're right.
The one thing big numbers do, though, is provide an often-credible illusion of advancement..
The GSL seriously complicates actually publishing (even e-publishing) any of it, though.As far as the accuracy and damage vs HP numbers go, it's just a treadmill. Replacing it with 5e-esque numbers with a slightly higher starting point would work fine.
Then you just port over the classes, rework powers to look like manuevers, and star wars saga style force powers or starship manuevers, power over rituals, etc, and it's totally doable.
