But not so god-like that a large group of well-trained guards still can't kill you. He stopped at 6th level partly because 4th-level spells start to overpower the game.  Once you hit (or start at) 6th level, you get a new feat every 5000 XP.  It uses all the features of the underlying system (3.5 or Pathfinder), with the exception of some new above-6th-level feats.But on the other hand, the way Pathfinder works things, you get some nice perks at 8th level, which makes it a reasonable place to stop, but now you have to deal with those pesky 4th-level spells.  There's good discussions of that <a href="http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2loc9?Pathfinder-E6" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=269747" target="_blank">here</a>.I've looked at E6 in some detail, it seems well thought-out and was extensively play-tested by its creator's group.  I've never played it, but many people seem to like it.</blockquote>
