So, I am in favor of its modernization, including simplifying it, although I also find it difficult to imagine how to balance it.

Well, Ples, a system with a bunch of different points, each of which is needed to upgrade something specific, also seems unnecessarily cumbersome and not very interesting to me.

And in other systems, how does a rogue level up? Unless you add something from magic. Otherwise, it's all the same.

Class restrictions are generally normal.

Peaceful skills are good, it's just that many want to dominate and don't take them, that's the whole problem.

Well, I personally didn't really like the specialization points, especially because of their close connection to skill points.

In general, a good solution would be to increase the uniqueness of each skill, that is, instead of standard stat buffs, add really interesting and diverse skills that would be an adequate alternative to simply increasing stats, but there is not much room for improvement here.

Luck is a characteristic of dubious usefulness. Firstly, each class has specific characteristics here, and increasing them has a primary effect. The approach of "the higher the stat, the stronger the effect of the new point invested in it" only exacerbates the situation. Secondly, there are perks that duplicate the effect of luck, even better than luck itself.
A similar situation is observed with intelligence, but at least it makes sense for mages and archers to increase it.

I decided to estimate a couple of characters - in terms of strength, they turn out as if someone had halved the skill points of the characters from the expansion, and completely reduced the stat points. In such a system, it is impossible to build hybrids; it encourages specialization too much.

I suggest making the Priest a full-fledged class with buffing and healing abilities, partially or completely (it's easier to do partially) dependent on religion.

So what if it's the Middle Ages? Cannons are fine, and ballistas are debatable, but at least crossbows/scorpions could be used. Plus, add tactical abilities like fortifying terrain, trenches, etc. Traps too... Siege weapons like ladders. Well, that's how I see it.
No, regarding the priests, I was more thinking about skills that simply slightly change the effect depending on the religion. Let's say all priests have healing. Some priests, when healing a character, can give them a fire shield, others heal even the dead, and others temporarily increase a certain parameter, etc.

Well, he has combat skills. Or does he need even more?

The idea with the archaeologist is good, and it will stay that way. The engineer can improve crossbows and make bombs for battle, the toxicologist can create poisons; there's also a chemist and an alchemist. It should be quite convincing in battle.
