Good saves are 1/2/2/3/3/4/4/5/5/6, bad saves 0/0/1/1/1/2/2/2/3/3. Good defense is 2/3/3/4/4/5/5/6/6/7/, med defense is 1/2/2/3/3/3/4/4/5/5/, poor is 0/1/1/1/2/2/2/3/3/3. Magic bonus is either 1 per level for good or 1/2 per level for bad.I was tempted to include medium save progressions but thought it might make my decisions more difficult. I was also tempted to give tough all good saves. I still am. The classes will follow the standard talent/feat/talent/feat system of progression, with most abilities distilled into talent or feat trees. Spellcasting will be talent-based, all caster levels from different classes stack, you can only access level N spells with the correct talent - each of the three casting styles (wizardly, clerically, spontaeneously) in a separate talent tree. Including the feats from D20Future that allow you to take talents you've effectively missed out on (with a bit of tweaking) will get you a say, 5 Smart/5 Dedicated with caster level 10 and access to 5 levels of one type of spell, 3 of the other.This is just a vague premise at the moment. I might consider a talent a level to account for most D&D classes getting something every level. I don't plan to recreate anything precisely though, I like to move away from the conventional. As with D20M, you get very little at first level, instead a beefed up background will provide you with the feats and weapon proficiencies you deserve, preventing the whole wizard turned fighter gaining all armour and weapons problem. It's likely that a class will provide you with *something* towards this when you first take it however.Anyway, that's my ramblings. Thoughts?</blockquote>
