What I meant earlier was that another use of an ability that you wouldn´t get until 3 or 5 levels after could overpower it ('could', not 'will' - it all depends on the players). And Asmor, while we are still on the barbarian, I think I like McBard's idea of increasing rage's duration better.I like your ranger extra favored enemies too, for the same reasons you do (it sucks being a vampire hunter on broad daylight :\ ), but maybe you could give the player an option: either +1 to one favored enemy, or adding another creature in the list.As for the Cleric, if it suits your game, go with your original thought, but I would do it like the bard you first presented, with the bonus going +1 up each level, until it reached its maximum, at the Ability Modifier you see fit. Even the duration of rage or any other class features could be improved this way - and the best part is 1st level favored classes would be very similar to non favored, thus avoiding powercreeps... but getting better and better with some devotion.I think you´re right too... the K.I.S.S rule should apply here as well (people say that a game is lost if you have too many houserules). And the XP bonus is much better than the penalty anyway (my only problem with it, is that I don't keep track of XP - I usually wing it on the fly, storywise)</blockquote>
