Elves are allowed to become Thief/MU combination class in 3rd edition, it wasn't so in 2nd edition.

Regarding setting: In the core book I'd leave it as vague as possible. A huge, unnamed political entity ruled by humans governs a vast part of the galaxy. That's it. How vast is the human Galactic state? How powerful? Where is Earth? What's its status? Do humans KNOW there's Earth somewhere? Are the...

I'd love to see a BSFRPG, and I'm willing to help! It's actually something I've been giving a lot of thought over the years. I think that for starter an Asimov/Vance heavily humanocentric Space Opera is the way to go with the implied setting. No Teleport, no post-scarcity, no transhuman. But see my ...

Leveling everybody at the same time is probably the only way I can think of of actually, surely, breaking the game. Don't. If you think 10% XP bonus isn't enough remember that: All demi-humans have one Stat that is limited at 17. Elves and halflings (and others) have HD limits. Humans are the only o...

But that's me.

Animal companions and class-specific spells have been a fixture of the ranger class in the more recent iterations of the original game. Maybe worth discussing?

Hello, sorry for being late to the party. Once I added my voice to those asking for an "Advanced Fantasy". Over the years I've changed my mind, BFRPG has a very precise identity: one that is at the same time modular and well defined. I think that crystallizing BFRPG in AFRPG (or compiling its Uneart...

Nice, I like it.
I'd use the Thief's progression for XP, attacks and saves.
I'd limit the Bard to all weapons, no shield and up to chain mail armor.
