While some things you'll shake out in playtesting I think there are a few things off the bat that stick out that can be addressed.1) Barbarian:  I would swap Persistant and Relentless Rage (relentless is a major increase in resiliency, too much for 6th level).I would also consider dropping the 3 dice brutal crit, that is bringing a lot of extra damage to the party.2) Druid: Archdruid as written is 100% broken. Its manageable at 20th level because of all of the other crazy stuff at that level, but its not savable at 10th. You could maybe do something like double the number of wildshapes available.3) Fighter: Action Surge with 2 uses unchecked gives the fighter too much nova power. A simple fix, is to only allow 1 use per encounter. So it lets the fighter surge more often per day, but not in a single fight.4) Monk: For Empty Body, you may want to allow the invisibility but not the astral projection. Going with your spell notion (ie not wanting to add high level spell "shenanigans"), that prevents the plane shifting ability.I do think you can likely increase the monk's damage table, all of the other fighting classes are getting a solid increase, the monk could use some love their as well.5) Paladin: I would swap aura improvements and improved divine smite. IDS is a large damage enhancer, worthy of a bit later in the progression. Aura Improvement is nice but it only changes frequency not power.6) Rogue: Considering what all of the other fighting classes are getting, I really don't think evasion is OP.7) Sorceror: My group has been using the "improved metamagic" ability for several campaigns, never had a single issue with it.8) Wizard: Spell Mastery may be a little over the top for 10th, perhaps make it only 1st level at will. That is still really good, but shifts the curb just a bit.9) General: I would put all the Extra attacks on the fighting classes back to 5th. This is the most important damage increase in the progression. At 3rd that really shakes up the CR calculation. It also shifts the needle towards fighters too much at the low levels where they are already quite good.10) You may want to consider removing the last of the subclass powers from each class, unless you just want to handle subclasses on a case by case basis. Some of them give some "high level" type powers that are not immediately apparent until you start going through them. Example: Dragon Sorcerer's "always fly". Knocking out the highest level of the subclass powers could take out a lot of potential abuses in a single stroke.</blockquote>
