The classes (except druid, psion, and psychic warrior) have all been buffed, some obviously more then others in the hopes to balance them all-together. Tell me what'chu think of these edits. FIGHTER: Bonus feat every level Hit die d12 +1 on all normal damage rolls per fighter level BARBARIAN: Increase critical hit multiplyer by x1 at fifth level (For example the club's x2 is now x3) Lower critical requirement for normal attacks by one at nineth level (For example the dagger's 19-20 is now 18-20) Increase normal damage by an extra die at twelveth level (For example the greatsword's 2d6 is now 3d6) ROGUE: 5% Poison penalty does not apply at first level At eleventh level normal attacks may cause fatigue to opponent, if already fatigue become exhausted, if already exhausted become unconciouse, the opponent makes a fort save DC equal to charisma score Hit die d8 MONK: Full BaB Hit die d12 PALADIN: Smite can now apply to ranged attacks Good fort/will saves Damage reduction /1 per paladin level against evil creatures RANGER: Damage reduction /1 per ranger level against favored enemies DRUID: No changes Sorcerer: At second level and above, whenever the sorcerer makes and fails a will saving throw, she may make a charisma check, if the charisma check of equal DC succeeds, treat the will save as though it were succesful. Bard: Hit die d8 Psion: No changes Psychic Warrior: No changes Soulknife: Hit die d12 Mindblade bypasses all damage reduction At seventh level, mindblade now with each succesful strike may cause the foe to become dazed if they fail a will saving throw of 14. At nineth level, mindblade now with each succesful strike deals 1d2 con or str damage if opponent fails will saving throw of 15. WILDER: Hit die d12 New mutliclass rule: To avoid possibly breaking classes (like fighter with X), proficietcies don't stack unless you got them by feats, instead, your class profitietcies become whatever class you took last. So if you took a fighter level then decided to switch to sorcerer, you're now only profficient with simple weapons and nothing more.

Sorcerer could have their spell shield (Dungeonscape), paladin there spirit (while keeping there summon mount, also Dungeonscape), fighter the Dungeon Crasher (once again, Dungeonscape; give them and let them keep their feats). You could also use the dead level suggested by WOTC; on the main D&D page, enter 'dead level' in the search bar.
