My group just finished an AP, and my takeaway was that I didn't enjoy running the game by the time the characters hit 17th level. It renewed my interest in the P6 version that people were talking about several years ago; I searched around and found a few versions, but nothing that included the full range of options (mostly just Core book). I grabbed what was out there, combined with d20pfsrd, and built a complete version of P6, modified by some of my own home rules. We have started our new P6 campaign and I am excited and thought I would share in case anyone else is interested too. I would love any feedback. I believe all of this is covered under the OGL; everything is either my original work, copy/paste from the SRD site, or loosely borrowed from the other P6 sources. All the docs have a copy of the OGL page, and I make no claims of owning anything here, including my own contributions to the document. The doc only contains rules, and no setting information or copyrighted names (including deities). If anything is in violation please let me know.
Everything is contained in linked Google Docs (it wouldn't all fit into one doc due to Google size limits):
Thanks for the resources! I'll certainly make use of the material. I do have a question about the 'all casters are spontaneous casters' note in the document.
Specifically, wizards and sorcerers both cast 'their level + their casting stat + 1' spells per day, but wizards get access to a new spell level earlier than sorcerers do. Aside from their different class abilities, I am not seeing a clear distinction in why they should have different levels of spell progression if they get the same number of spells per day. Did I miss something in the entries that makes up for this gap?

That's a good point; I think it was something I was going to come back to and evaluate and forgot about. I updated the text. I also just realized that the Sorcerer was pointing at the Bloodrager bloodlines; I fixed that too. Thanks!
Nice. I had a little bit more time to skim through. You might want to revisit the Hunter, Inquisitor, and the Oracle spell access to bring them in line with the other similar casters in their category.
Seems pretty straightforward on how to port everything down to E6. Any objections to using alternate favored class bonuses, or did you find them too much of a wildcard to balance out?

Without testing this for a good long while, it is hard to know. There is so much complexity already, and what I personally don't like about the alternate bonus is the inequality; not all the races have them, and I was striving for a racial balance. That was one reason I removed the racial requirement for a lot of traits and some feats. I honestly think the answer would be to not make them racial at all, but each class could have half a dozen options, regardless of race - so they are just alternate class bonuses instead. And now that I've "typed that out loud"... I think I like it. I'll start looking that over.
Thanks for looking at this! I tweaked the hunter, inquisitor and oracle too.
