[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 4916790, member: 35909"] I also don't think AE is much more or at all more powerful than 3.5 races/classes, I don't even agree with the premise. A simple way to balance the races would be to remove the -2 stat. Or add another +2 if it seems more relevant for the race, whatever. Classes is tougher...largely because I never knew if in a merged game the AE classes should be kept strictly on their own feat and spell lists. It seems more balanced (with 3.5) that way, but it also puts this wierd barrier up between the two when relating with each other. Especially in cases for example, where a D&D character can just pick up a feat, but for an AE character, it's gained through ceremony despite being identical otherwise. I also always am tempted to compact AE's 25 levels down to 20, since the stuff gained beyond 20 isn't that much more powerful (compared to what epic is like in 3E), and a lot of those abilities seem like cool class-unique "capstones." I do not see why you'd need to alter the medium saves. I quite like them. My only change would be possibly to start them at +1 and still reach +9 at level 20. It seems wrong that the "median" of +0 or +2 save at level 1 is +0. [/QUOTE]
