Great Work!
Thank you!
1. I wouldn't give men any stat bonuses, since they already have the ability to rise to higher levels. the way the rules are right know, they are double benefited by bonuses and by higher levels.
I'll consider this. Or I may but back in the special racial powers. I left them out as they took quite a bit of space to explain and I was trying to keep the rules to four pages. If I put them back in, I'll probably leave humans with the stat bonus. If not, I'll probably take your advice and remove the stat bonuses for humans.
2. I would make spell progresion:
3, 5, 7, 9, 12, just like OD&D. It would be a cool flavorful touch.
Great idea. Unless there are major objections from others, I'll do it.
