page 2: Delete ", nor can you gain an additional option through a feat or other class feature." based on previous conversations, move to diligent preperation

Diviner specilist bonus is + 1/2 level, shou it be + specilist bonus (there first specilist bonus ability)

Apendix A. Arcane focus: Change "If attempt to cast a spell without your bonded object worn or in hand, you must use the normal material components, and must succeed at a concentration check (1d20 + your wizard caster level + your Intelligence modifier) or lose the spell. The DC for this check is equal to 15 + (2 x the spell's level)." to "If you attempt to cast a spell without your bonded object worn or in hand, you must use the normal material components, must always make concentration checks to cast (even if in restfull conditions) and all such concentration checks have there DC's increased by 5"

These last two are just thoughts:

Staff: Selete bold "Spellstaff (Sp): A 1st level bonded staff is treated as a Staff magic item", even if you do not have the Imbue Item feat." as you may only take the staff if you are a generalist you must have the imbue item feat... (Unless you gain this through a feat, yet I feet the staff should be reserved for the generalist)
"When fully charged, your staff has a number of charges equal to 1 + half your class level (maximum 10)" no real reason it couldent have 11 charges at 20th level - it's an awesome cool wizard staff after all!

Skill Ranks per Level: 0 + Int modifier; this just seems so harsh...

might; a clarification on the 'might' would be vastly helpful as my friend and I have vastly different opinions on what would be considered a reasonable 6 degrees of separation: a more concrete skill could be:

"Find Ally: You may attempt to find an ally within a group of individuals, who are at least indifferent towards you, by attempting to name-drop your way into a shared relationship (even in unlikely situations; think “six degrees of separation”). Your administration skill check is opposed by a Intuition save, made by the NPC with the second highest Intuition modifier in the group; and modified by how closely the most connected NPC is connected to your organisation, shown by the following table (use all modifiers that apply):

Connectedness...........Intuition save Modifier
Your Organisation........... - 5
Related Organisation..... + 0
Unrelated Organisation.. + 5
Your Base of Operation .. - 5
Same country.................. + 0
Neighboring country....... + 5
Distant country............... +10

If you succeed, you find someone within the group who has a helpful attitude towards you. If you fall short of the groups intuition save by 5 or more you antagonize someone in the group; decreasing there attitude towards you by one step (see diplomacy).

Add bold (It's currently unclear if this is part of Find ally) - "Garner Favor: With a successful check (DC 20 + creature’s CR) you can compel an NPC to grant you some boon or perform some favor"
(This seems a separate ability to Find ally - alternatively clarify that this is only usable on the ally found)

Bluff, Inuendo: Change "decipher the message by succeeding at an opposed Deception check." to "decipher the message by succeeding at an opposed Bluff check."

Endurance: Change "Run: A character can run (4x normal speed) or otherwise maximally exert himself (such as fight) for a maximum number of rounds equal to 10 + his Endurance modifier. After this time, he or she is fatigued and must rest."

to "Exert: A character can exert himself (e.g. run, fight or cast spells requiring concentration checks) for a maximum number of rounds equal to 10 + his Endurance modifier. After this time, they are fatigued and must rest if able. If the character wishes to overexert themselves they must make a DC 15+1 "per round of continued overexertion" Endurance check or become Exhausted. An exhausted character who is fatigued or exhausted in this manner feints from Over-exhaustion - falling unconscious for as many minuets as rounds of overexertion they performed (min 1)."

Perception-change "invisibility provides no bonus to this check (unlike in the core rules)" to "invisibility provides a greatly reduced bonus to this check, see Chapter 7. Spells" OR repeat invisibility change in the spells chapter.

Perception: add to the Search table a line:
"Documents, offices, scrolls use Administration or Linguistics"

Evoker - Change "School Powers: In substitution for one or more of the school powers described below, evokers can select bonus feats such as Blistering Spell, Brimstone Spell, Irresistible Evocation, Piercing Cold Evocation, Searing Evocation, etc. " to "School Powers: In substitution for one or more of the school powers described below, evokers can select any "Evocation" metamagic bonus feat (such as Burning Evocation or Irrisistable Evocation)."

Fighter:
Grit Change "Each time you confirm a critical hit while using this ability in the heat of combat, you regain 1 round worth of use" to "During the heat of combat each time you confirm a critical hit during a round in which you have previously used grit to gain the effect of a hero point or gain the use of a combat feat you regain 1 grit" <leaving the rest of the sentence notably the clarification that it doesn't count if you used the grit to confirm the hit>
Additionally change "When you reduce a creature to 0 or fewer hit points while using this ability in the heat of combat, you regain 1 round of use" to "During the heat of combat each time you reduce an enemy to 0 or fewer hit points during a round in which you have previously used grit to gain the effect of a hero point or gain the use of a combat feat you regain 1 grit"

Bard
Change "Elder Kantelist (Ex):" to "Elder Kantelist (Ex) (Minstrel or Skald):"

Ranger Favoured enemy adaption - many errors in the list:
 Animals, magical beasts, and vermin: Great Fortitude, Iron Will, Lightning Reflexes
 Constructs and oozes: Great Fortitude, Iron Will, Lightning Reflexes,
 Dragons: Great Fortitude, Iron Will, Lightning Reflexes,
 Fey and plants: Great Fortitude, illusion resistance, Iron Will, Lightning Reflexes to Arcane Defense Illusions
 Giants and monstrous humanoids: low-light vision, low-light vision, repeated
 Outsiders and aberrations:Great Fortitude, Iron Will, Lightning Reflexes,
 Undead: Great Fortitude, Iron Will
I suggest removing all saving throw feats from the table and replacing them with a static "+2 to Fort(etc)" saves as the ranger is only lacking in will saves and changing the save feats to the "Improved" versions will be strong; as with a swift action he could swap between different improved save types could stack up a lot of re-rolls a day! Finally the save bonuses given do not quite match your introduction table.

Favoured weapon - change "By calling upon the aid of nature spirits when you prepare spells, you can imbue your weapon with a +1 enhancement bonus per level of the highest-level spell you prepare" to "By calling upon the aid of nature spirits when you prepare or rejuvinate spells, you can imbue your weapon with a +1 enhancement bonus per level of the highest-level spell you prepare or spell slot you have access to"

The ranger's barksin lore is weaker than the fighters armored flesh talent which, in turn, is weaker than the monks ironskin sutra... the Barbarians Beast hide rage power seems good, but still not as strong as the monks (stacking with totem powers, but not amulet of natural armour) - Consider standardization of these.

Possible introduction addition(I suggest you ignore this, but was in my head): You could state that if you gain Low light vision from multiple sources you automatically gain "Superior low light vision", tripling the distance seen in darkness... quadrupling it if you gain it from three sources etc.

1) I'd do it, except for the sheer number of people who try to do things like take Profession (Acrobat) instead of Acrobatics.

2)Profession ONLY for skills that involve some service-industry thing; Driving (think Grand Prix, not Miss Daisy) wouldn't be a Profession skill

If you want to change it I think two rules additions would allow this:

1) Profession, and secondary skills in general, cannot duplicate the function of Primary skills; Thus any secondary skill that replicates the features of a primary skill (such as Profession (Acrobat) or Profession (Escapologist) are disallowed.

2) After a section on how profession skills are to represent service-industry skills add: in a fantasy setting Profession (Drive) represents the skill for coachmen, couriers, hauliers, and wagoners - exceptional levels in this ability can represent exceptional abilities; flying zeplins, dog fighting on academical gliders, ben-hur chariot races and the like.

Then it covers the standard service industry aspect, and for PC's allows great feats of daring do!

Edit: I'm feeling more strongly that this prerequsite overly inhibits the half casters (Monks and Rangers) who want to access their spells with Wis, cast them with Cha, and fight with the other stats.; it prevents the uber druids and clerics from doing melee and being awesome at spells, but I rely feel for the half casters!

Change: "Prerequisite: Cha 13." to "Prerequisite: Cha 13; or four levels in monk, ranger or prestige paladin"

TaDa!
Secondary skills have suddenly simply become:

Craft,
Knowledge,
Perform,
Profession!

Simple, and clear as to what constitutes a secondary skill :)

{Brought to my attention by the Profession skill's typo: "Examples might include Accountancy, Administrator (you can function in a bureaucracy)," Delete additional space before Administrator!}

{Also "Tailor (including sewing, weaving, and dying of textiles)" is probably superseded by Craft (Needlework)}

Ranger - Fast movement (lore) does not work under medium/heavy load, Tireless ignores effect of medium/heavy load. Add (to Fast movement lore) "(this will only hinder rangers before they gain the tireless ability)"

Monk - Change "Special: If you choose Two-Weapon Fighting and/or Improved Two-Weapon Fighting as a combat style feat, you gain the Flurry of Blows ability (see below)." to "Special: If you choose Two-Weapon Fighting and/or Improved Two-Weapon Fighting as a combat style feat, you gain the Flurry of Blows ability (see feat description).

Character Sheet - I would have the "apparant age" all on one line :D

Feats -

Battle Touched; change "If you have the Spell Strike feat, you can apply the spell effect to each attack made with that weapon that round. If you have the Battle Touch, Spell Strike, and Two-Weapon Fighting feats, you can use the Spell Strike feat in conjunction with a pair of weapons and spells" to "If you have the Spellstrike feat, you can apply the spell effect to each attack made with that weapon that round (However, all attacks and combat maneuver checks you make that round suffer a -5 penalty). If you have the Battle Touch, Spellstrike, and Two-Weapon Fighting feats, you can use the Spellstrike feat in conjunction with a pair of weapons and spells" <Incorpirating the penality mentioned in spellstrike; unless i've missed a subtle distinction and the -5 shoulden't apply to a touch spell turned mass>

Spellstrike: Change "If the attack misses, you may hold the charge." to "If the attack was a melee attack and it misses, you may hold the charge." <We have a affrican dagger flinging monk, thus this stood out!>

Mentioned previously: Storm spell & Uttercold spell: Delete energy substution prerequsite.

Cascade spell: Important to clarify weather the individual components are hightened or not. (e.g. Shield+Obscuring mist as 3rd leve spell, +4AC or +6 AC?) - I would not heighten them, but highten all of them after applying cascade spell (Shield + Cascade spell(mage armour)=lv3 Hightened (+2)= 5th level spell +6AC, +6shield)

Quicken spell, Add bold: "Special: This feat can be applied to any spell cast spontaneously (including sorcerer spells, bard spells, and cleric or druid spells cast spontaneously), without the need for an increased casting time allowing it to be cast as a swift action."

Explosive spell - Change "(any creature struck dead-on, determined by a ranged touch attack, is pushed the full length of the line)." to "(any creature struck dead-on, determined by a ranged touch attack, is pushed 50ft+10ft/caster level up to the full length of the line).
<Why? this still allows substantial extra damage on one target (+10d6 for a 5th level caster's lightning bolt) without my limitation however this is possiable: Ray of frost(lv0)+ray to line (+1 level) + close to Long (+2-1=+1) + Explosive Spell (+1)=0+1+1+1=3rd level line of cold (@5th level doing 5d6 damage) that hitting somone smack in the chest (range touch) who fails there reflex save is then pushed 600ft; for +60d6 untyped damage! OW!>

Scantum spell - Change "A sanctum spell has an effective spell level higher than its normal level if cast in your sanctum" to "A sanctum spell has an effective spell level one level higher than its normal level if cast in your sanctum" and change "All effects dependent on spell level (including save DCs) are calculated according to the adjusted level." to "All effects dependent on spell level (not caster level) are calculated according to the adjusted level (such as damage caps, static bonuses, DCs; see effects of hightened spells above)."

Shape Spell - Add Spellcraft Prerequsite as Evocation irresistiable (clearly this is a spellcraft stlye of metamagic). Change "Rays changed to cones, lines, and bursts allow a Reflex save for half damage" to "Damaging rays changed to cones, lines, and bursts allow a Reflex save for half damage"

Sudden Metamagic, greater: Change "Prerequisites: Metamagic feat to be emulated, Sudden Metamagic (any other feat)." to "Prerequisites: Metamagic feat to be emulated or Sudden Metamagic (any other feat)." <my preference> or Delete "You can still use the feat normally if you have it."
<As currently you must have sudden mettmagic lesser and the feat you want to make greater; with such an expencive requirement I'd probably try and craft a rod!>

Summoning imbued - Unclear if you can grant more than one your summoned creature the effects of a spell; yet will auto highten any summon spell to summon 1d3 monsters rather than simply one. For a nice modification change to the following (Also prerequsite changed; spell focus conjuration is needed for augument summoning, a counjurer should just have access anyway; fluf text changed to cat's greace as bull's strength stacks not with augument summoning)

Summoning, imbued
Your summoning spells gain an element of surprise! When you summon a lone creature you may grant it the benefit of one of your prepaired spells (such as invisibility or cat's grace).
Prerequisite: Conjurer or Augment Summoning
Benefit: This metamagic feat can be applied to any spell of the summoning sub-school used to summon a single creature. As part of casting the summoning spell you may imbue it with the effects of touch range spell of 3rd level or lower spell that you have prepaired (or know and may cast for spontanious casters). The spell (or spell slot) is used up and the summoned creature under the effected of the spell when it appears.
An imbued summoning spell uses up a spell slot of the same level as the originality spell. Further hightening of the spell dos not increase the the number of monsters summoned, instead it hightens the spell sacrificed by the caster to benifit the summoned creature
Synergy: If the creature summoned has a 3rd level or lower spell or spell like ability of personal or touch range it may instead sacrifice one use (or memorisation etc.) of it's ability to be under the effects of it's ability when it appears, which will be heightened appropriately if this spell is heightened.

<I've reduced it to +0 spell levels to get round the problem of heightening the spell causing the summoning of 1d3 creatures. If wejust swiched off the auto highten for this metamagic feat you still have the question in the casters mind: Is one creature under invisibility (etc.) worth giving up the possiabality of three creatures?.>

Uttercold spell: Change to "Uttercold Evocation" and move it apropriatly :D

Widen spell: I think change "actual level; tripling " to "actual level, tripling "... though I'm bad with SPG!

Fireball: change "Reach Spell (15 ft. to long; +2 levels)" to "Reach Spell (close to long; +2 levels)" mention "-1 level= 3rd level" (you could add seering evocation and still have a 4th level spell, so the slightly lower level iconic fireball spell seems well placed :))

Hellfire: Change "and 5d6 diabolic" to "and 5d6 unholy", or change the corrupt spell feat.

also

Sacred spell, Change to match the corrupt spell feat, dealing Holy damage (they are just worded differently) <personally I prefer diabolic and divine to unholy and holy>

Shout, Greater: Change Shout, Greater: Ray of frost (0) + versatile evocation (sonic) + Cascade Spell (deafness, 2nd level, +1 level) + Dazing Spell (+1 level) + Shape Spell (ray to cone; +1 level) + Widen Spell (30 ft. to 60 ft.; +1 level) + Bane Magic (crystalline) = 6th level (damage cap 15d6 or 21d6 vs. for crystalline; deafness permanent)." to
"Ray of frost (0) + versatile evocation (sonic) + Bane Spell (Crystaline) (+1) + Deafening Spell (+2 levels) + Dazing Spell (+1 level) + Shape Spell (ray to cone; +1 level) + Widen Spell (30 ft. to 60 ft.; +1 level) = 6th level (damage cap 15d6 or 15d8 vs. crystalline; deafness permanent)." <or use bane magic- but it doesn't add +1 level, it's a personal ability>

Similarly Shout becomes: Shout: Ray of frost (0) + versatile evocation (sonic) + Deafening Spell (+1 level) + Shape Spell (ray to cone; +1 level) + Still Spell (+1 level) + Bane Spell (crystalline) (+1 level) = 4th level (damage cap 10d6; 10d8 for crystalline)

Slow: Also changed to 5th level effect so should be; "5th level; targets take Dex penalty equal to 1d6 + level (max +15), half if save, for 1 round per caster level." <as per table>

Noting the two clauses in Blinding spell and Deafining spell (below), blindness is pegged as a 3rd level ability and deafness as a second level ability: a good change in Changes to schools of Magic, under necromancy to state that "the blindness spell, clearly superior to it's deafness counterpart, has been increased to a 3rd level spell".
Blinding spell - "using a spell slot 4 levels higher the spell’s normal level, you can increase the duration to Permanent (Cf. Cascade Spell: Blindness)"
Deafining spell - "using a spell slot 3 levels higher the spell’s normal level, you can increase the duration to Permanent (Cf. Cascade Spell: Deafness)."

Evocation, Irresistiale: <It's prerequisite is a little easy as it may only be applied to lowish level spells (+4 spell levels)thus> Change: "Prerequisite: Spellcraft 1 rank per level of the spell to be affected." to "Prerequisite: Spellcraft 2 ranks per final/original <your choice> level of the spell to be affected."

Page 12- Disruptive spell: Change "Targets affected by a disruptive spell must make concentration checks when using spells or spell-like abilities (DC equals the save DC of the disruptive spell plus the level of the spell being cast) for 1 round. " to "For 1 round after being affected by a disruptive spell targets suffer a penalty equal all concentration checks equal to the Disruptive spells DC-10, and must pass a concentration checks to cast spells or use spell like abilities if they wouldent usually (DC 10 “concentration check,” equal to a caster power check minus twice the level of the spell you are attempting to cast, see above)." <This metamagic should force the usual concentration check with a sutible penality>

Spells: Disrupting spell, mention you can similarly disrupt spell like abilities (CF: Rogue: Under skill tricks it says "As spell-like abilities, skill tricks can be disrupted)

Page 2 - Skill tricks: Change "Examples of skill tricks, and their associated skills, are provided below (1)." to "Examples of skill tricks, and their associated skills, are provided below(1)." (obviously with the superscript)

Page 3 - I think this "Unless otherwise noted, using a skill trick requires a full-round action, unless the talent in question involves movement" might need changing slightly to incorporate spells with longer casting times (notably clairvoyance's 10 min casting time) and the faster casting times of swift/immidiate spells (e.g. catsfeet)
How about
1. Spells that are usually swift/immiade actions remain so.
2. Movement spells may be incorperated into a move action.
3. Spells that are marked swift action (and are not usually) last till the begining of your next turn <as is currently>
4. Spells with a casting time of 1 standard action up to 1 full round take 1 full-round action
5. Spells with casting time longer than 1 full round take that longer casting time.
<My worry steamed from clairvoyance on tap! Alternatively put a swift clairvoyance there, can always see into an divinable room, but only for a moment!><Swift expeditious retreat... normal expeditious retreat could be activated with a move, and would last all fight so is probably strictly better!>... You could leave this all as is and "fix" clairvoyance somehow :D

Page 3 possiable add to "If you make a sneak attack during a surprise round with a concealed weapon that the opponent does not know about" "or an attack during a surprise round where the target is completly unaware of your presence" or something of this ilk.
if you change the above then change "thereafter, it will be wary of such a trick from you (even when surprised)" to "thereafter, it will be on it's guard against such attacks (even when surprised or unaware of you)"

Page 6 - change "If you do so, your rogue levels provide Strong theurgy towards your arcane casting progression (Spellcasting Table 3 in the Introduction)." to "If you do so, your rogue levels provide Strong theurgy towards your arcane casting progression (Spellcasting Table 3 in Chapter 7. Spells)."

Page 8 - Delete bold "Night Vision (Ex): You gain low-light vision and darkvision 60 ft. (your choice)." as the text indicates you get both

Ranks in spellcraft Uses per day
2xlevel of spell 1/day
3xlevel of spell 2/day
4xlevel of spell 3/day
5xlevel of spell at will

(I made up the numbers) Now I thought this was a really good and awesome idea, but just went to look at innate metamagic and couldn't find this... If you haven't used it my dream was fantastic - however i think it's such a nice idea (modify it use it however, or tell me where it was from - it clearly doesn't just have to apply to innate metamagic) it must have been yours in another document somewhere :D

Page 6 - Change "(this is a specific exception to the rule for immediate actions described above)" to " (this is a specific exception to the rule for immediate actions described in Chapter 1)."

Page 7 - Change "(or anyone with a wand and Use Magic Device skill)" to "(or anyone with a wand and Spellcraft skill)"

Page 7 - Add "Detect Magic: Range is reduced to touch, see below." (Otherwise this important change could be glossed over)

Page 7 - Add "(see Scaling Bonuses in hightened spells, below)" to Spells Providing Bonuses to Skill Checks

Page 7 - "Change For example, the Ray Burst, Reach Spell, and Selective Spell feats," to "For example, the Shape Spell, Reach Spell, and Selective Spell feats,"

Page 8 - Change "for example, a sorcerer could simply learn maximized fireball as a 6th level spell (with the normal casting time), rather than selecting fireball as a 3rd level spell and also taking the Maximize Spell feat (and requiring a longer casting time)." to "for example, a incarnate could simply learn maximized searing light as a 6th level spell (with the normal casting time), rather than selecting searing light as a 3rd level spell and also taking the Maximize Spell feat (and requiring a longer casting time)." <the sorceror's 5th level rapid metamagic ability negates the need for the increased casting time sentences, but the example is better for having them, therefore I change the example to an incarnate :D>

Page 8 & 9 - After "For spells providing a bonus of +1 per caster level, the maximum bonus is equal to the number of dice shown in the damage cap table." add "according to the number of targets, and arcane/divine nature of the spell as appropriate"

Thought: Con penilty possiably very strong? While at low levels it's not great an 8+ level magic user will get a lot of milage out of 1d6+4 con penality spells. But it's no longer save or suck so that is good... To be fair I haven't play-tested it so cant tell! :D

Page 4 - clarify can spells with purley vocal components be disrupted (provoke AoO)? if yes leave as is, if no (there is nothing to disrupt) mention this.

Page 4 - Change "If you are struck by an attack of opportunity provoked by not casting defensively, you must succeed at a concentration check at DC 10 + damage sustained (see table) or lose the spell." to "If you are struck by an attack of opportunity provoked by not casting defensively, increase the DC of the 'casting in combat' concentration check by the damage sustained (see table)"

Page 4 - "The Disruptive fighter talent (q.v.) increases the DC for casting defensively by +4" add "for all threatened enemies" or equivlant

Page 4 - replace "(see Preemptive Actions, above)" with (see Preemptive Actions in Ch 1)

Page 4&5 -Change "This applies to effects with a range greater than long range, and specifically excludes conjuration/summoning effects other than teleportation" to "This applies to effects with a range greater than long range, and spells of the Scrying & Teleportaion subschools. Note spells of the Calling & Summoning subschool are unaffected."
<Without the scrying clarification you can clairvoyance into the kings bedchamber, as it is not greater than long range; also calling & summoning spells do not have "range" greater than long and are not teleportation spells - they just seem like they are!>

Page 5 - change "Ressurection Survival" to "Ressurection survival (Optional)" <for non-long time limit campaigns>

Non-editorial thoughts:
Castles and Dungeons; Awesome!
Counterspelling; Awesome!
Defult Spell paramaters: Being a caster is hard work - this made me laugh! I have infact bought a lovely looking 'notebook' to be my spellbook entirly because of this rule (and what a good rule)

Typo page 6: "the ... metamagic feat" though it looks like you have marked this to come back to it

Charm Pereson: is it cha damage(or not)? does it work in a fight? how does this mesh with Bardic minstral charmer no +5 to saves in combat?
{I would make it a cha damage(penality?) spell, but you don't realise it has been cast on you-"subtle damage"-but still give the +5 to saves in combat, as the flip side of subtle is it works less well against agressive targets} It's a standard spell but not clear from the list if it is changed by this option (It's not mentioned anywhere i think)...

Doesn't having so many abilities that attack stats, makes it surprisingly easy to shut down casters? Blast the cleric with a confusion and his wisdom drops, suddenly he can't cast any spells (his wis went from 15 to 10)

spear, long exotic weapon proficiency option (c) 1d8/+3 to 1d8/x3

similarly lance exotic 1d12x3 to 1d12/x3

hammer, lucern is its own Heading rather than a sub-heading under polearms

Wind stance: the potential 50% miss chance, it doesnt mention if this is only against ranged attacks like the 20% one is? - I assume so

Spearfighter - a full attack 'against you' - is this a full attack all targeting you or partly targeting you?

Combat reflexes BAB 11+, you intifear with actions that provoke AoO's - consider in light of movement how this will work... potential problems could occure. Additionally at level 16+ no action that could provoke an AoO could be performed without suffering infinate AoO... reach weapon anyone?

Why is the 14th level choice of a two weapon fighter flay foe etc... what is the etc? Time has passed and I assume it's skewer foe and the bludgeoning one :)

Skirmish synergy with vital strike - oddly here spring attack allows you not to move after each attack (could you thus move full movement and vital strike on all attacks on one foe dancing round him?) Seems reasonable :)

Some of the ranger talent trees only give surgestions till 14th level... but as the suggestions are so well themed at 18th level a character may have all lower options - an opening paragraph about agree on a feat with the gm/take any combat feat would be good (there is almos this there already)... but this could all be arranged with a Gm :D

Improved combat reflexes - are my Itritative AoO limited by my usual Itritritive attacks? eg at 6th level I can make 2... or are they simply limited by my AoO avaliable (in which case at 16th level I could make 100, which makes this a silly option, but should be clarified a little)

Combat reflexes, 16th level, reach weapon=provoke AoO by strping through reach, responce=5ft stepback, repeat= not engagable without reach?

Can you take multiple immidiate actions between turns - or is it just one? [i assume one :)]

Lunge: do you still threaten squares you usually threaten when using lunge?

These feats give enhancement bonuses to stats yes? So they do not stack with the magic items of stat boosting (Unless i'm wrong) - In which case there is no problem at all in letting the caster feats scale - a caster wanting to bump his DC's will be crafting himself a jeweled headband of +6 Stat ass soon as his numen allows; giving him the option of replacing this item with three feats only available at 5th, 10th and 15th level seems very week....

Additionally given the lovely way you have done saves or bonuses for classes etc. and the wonderfulness of BAB scaling feats I really don't think you should be worried about scaling power of a feat to DC's... (which gives a bit now a bit later etc... Everyone else IS awesome! that's the idea, not penalizing caster (too much ;P)

Dots Weapon Feats
1 1d8/x2
2 1d8/x2 Improved Critical
4 1d8/x2 Improved Critical, deadly critical

2 1d8/x3
4 1d8/x3 Improved Critical
6 1d8/x3 Improved Critical, deadly critical

2 1d8/19-20
4 1d8/19-20 Improved Critical
8 1d8/19-20 Improved Critical, deadly critical

3 1d8/x4
6 1d8/x4 Improved Critical
8 1d8/x4 Improved Critical, deadly critical

3 1d8/18-20
6 1d8/18-20 Improved Critical
12 1d8/18-20 Improved Critical, deadly critical

4 1d8/19-20 x3
8 1d8/19-20 x3 Improved Critical
12 1d8/19-20 x3 Improved Critical, deadly critical

Perhaps a more linier way of improving criticals could be found? Allowing weapons to have a certain number of dots spread out... (eg a 3 dot weapon could be x4, 18-20 x2 or 19x2 20x3... then allowing more control over boosting the bonuses). Just thoughts, I'm happy(ish) with the extreme discrepancy, but might not be is playing with the critical focused keen broadsword wielding fighter (15 dots!) I guess it can make some weapons non-choices, or poor choices.

wing guided arrow - reserve feat: Pre-requisite level and text do not match up: the texts '3rd level' should be reduced to 2nd

black lore of moli (meta-magic feat) mentions a 3d6 runebone costing 75gp (It should cost 3000gp)

Concentration spell (metamagic) mentions the repeat spell feat - this feat does not exist

evocation storm, and uttercold spell both require (prerequisite) energy substution - a feat which does not exist.

bonded item- under the summon item description the text swaps from talking about an 'item' to a 'weapon' half way through :D

the oath feat referes to the multiple oath feat... there is no such feat (perhaps mention it is possible to take multiple oath feats?)

bard, inspire compitence mentions the Accompaniment lore - it means the Accompaniment 8th level ability

Favoured terrain (the Feat) mentions druids and rangers in it - this may be correct, but seems confusing - I'd limit it to just rangers.

Ranger: 'Master of all terrains' has a typo - mentions the plane of "Ai,r"

It would seem good to have some equivalent of versatile evocation that works in a manner slimier to heighten spell - a difficult spellcraft check when preparing spells (on casting for a sorc?), allowing less flexibility than the evoker, but reinforcing your building block rules :D

Dimentional Agility: I assume I've missed something, does teleportation end your turn? Dimention door etc. are standard actions anyway, so this feat woulden't let you do much after the teleport would it? (without the synergy)

At 2nd, 6th, 10th, 14th and 18th level a generalist wizard gets nothing (I believe they now will have 'bonus spells' at the odd levels). Could a very minor ability fit in here, so they don't seem bland? (not that they are, they would seem to have a little more zing with an ability at each level)? My thought was Expanded spell repotouir: gain 1 extra spell known of the highest two spell level you can cast (possibly restricting to schools of magic which you know the least spells)... this it would help make a generalist even more of a generalist :D, and at 18th level would simply amount to knowing an extra spell of each spell level (Alternatively this could be a 2nd level and ability that grants 1 extra spell known and repeats every 2 levels... same end effect in little chunks)

Fell Drain: very cool metamagic feat, simply applied to ray of frost would make a "Scorching (freezing) ray" equivlant with a 1 level enervation attached... raised to 4th level will make enervation +~10d6 cold damage... I made this note orrigionally as it seemed to good, but upon thinking about it it seems reasonable, it gives you a bit more power and options for the cost of a feat! I like it :D

(infact...) I love what you have done to meta magic- the only thing to be cautious off would be a wizard who did go about building all spells from scratch, as they would potentially be able to make quickened versions of spells very easily... by the meta magic reducing other metamagic rules.... still this may not be a problem and doesn't seem to have emerged yet

bard, re: doss inspiration 'beguiling'. Is a bard able to stop and restart the inspiration each round, effectivly causing all enemy's to save or be dazed every round of a fight? Perhaps the cantrip's 1 min before can be re-dazed clause should apply?

knight of the seal 'knightly order' - has mechanical bonuses when he is defending places and secrets, but not objects (which is one of the three types of ward he can have)... perhaps a bonus to skill checks relating to the item (slight of hand to hide it?), CMD and Saves to defend the item (no sundering it, no shattering it): the bonus i feel should be substantial as shattering an item happens a lot less frequently then defending a place (defend the village!)... then again i feel +2 to bluff for keeping secrets seems weak also!

Is there any other sections you want me to read through? I'm a slow reader and can't spot spelling mistakes, but quite methodical and notice inconsistencies and little glitches moderately quickly
