Stacking of caster level/caster level dependent on character level. This will help equalize a character's increase in effectiveness when taking a level in a previous class and when taking a level in a new class.2. Lifting of spell caps/auto-scaling of spell effect with caster level (similar to psionic augmentation in 3.5e). This enables even a low-level spell to remain effective and useful at high levels.3. Number of spell slots tied to character/caster level, and spell slots de-linked from spell level. Instead of having X 1st-level spell slots and Y 2nd-level spell slots, a character might just have N spell slots, which can be filled with spells of any level. If spell slots depend on character level, they might even be de-linked from class, so a multiclassed fighter/wizard might be able to fill his slots with either martial maneuvers or arcane spells, as he wishes.4. Talent trees that allow some minor blending of class abilities, e.g. a mystic warrior talent tree for the fighter class that grants knowledge of a few arcane spells and allows them to be cast in armor, or a battle mage talent tree for the wizard class that provides some bonuses to attack rolls and access to some maneuvers.</blockquote>
