Yes, but your 10th level character will have nothing else, abilities wise, aside from 4 bonus feats. The Fighter's BAB more than makes up for the +3 Attack (It provides the exact same overall to hit, including BAB and the bonus, plus higher BAB=more attacks... At level 11, the Fighter will have...

I don't really agree that it's too unbalanced... The bonuses can be powerful, true, but let's say the character makes it to level 20. At level 20, he'll have an average of 93 Hp, which is no more than a Cleric or Monk has. He'll have a BAB of only +15. So far, he's not doing so well in...

Charisma has always been a "dump stat", simply because a lot of people either have Charisma or don't. While it's easy for someone with high charisma in real life to roleplay low Charisma, someone with low charisma will have a hard time of roleplaying high Charisma. Plus, as Charisma has the...

Adventurer [Core Class] (Variant on the Expert) The wandering spirit, who conforms to no true ideal or classification. These are the true jack of all trades, for they're always different. They follow no binding code, no common bond. One Adventurer cannot truly distinguish another of their kind...

While I agree that if look at it without magical enhancement, this Monk doesn't do so well, you should look at the idea of un-magic'ed Fighters and un-magic'ed PHB Monks. These guys still mop the floor. As for the problem of damage reduction... While this Monk can't get a magic weapon to use...

My god, I don't think I've ever wasted my money on anything more useless. Can someone direct me to the Wizards employee who was working quality control on this project? That person needs to be hurt. Badly. So, I spend enough money to get me a FREAKING CORE RULEBOOK. I have to wait three weeks...

more interesting than having Mr. Paladin walk up to a cleric and cast detect evil on him, find out he's "evil", then strike him down. I've currently got a psychotic Paladin running around in my campaign world. The PCs are all around level 8, so they're becoming one man armies, especially in...

Tanthilan Medium Humanoid (Wild Elf) Rogue 4/Fighter 4/Barbarian 2 HD: 4d10+4d6+2d12 ( 57 Hp ) Abilities: Str 13 (+1) Dex 18 (+4) Con 11 (+0) Int 10 (+0) Wis 9 (-1) Cha 14 (+1) Saves: Fort+8, Ref+9, Will+1 Base Attack Bonus: +9/+4 Class Abilities: Rage, Fast Movement, Sneak Attack (2d6)...

Woah! Personally, I think this is a wee bit too powerful. The Monk looks balanced, sure, but you have to consider a comparison: The Fighter, who gains 11 Bonus Feats + 1 Feat unique to them, pays for this by having only one good save, 2 Skill Points per Level, a rather crappy Skillset, and no...

Introduction Hey all. This Mass Combat System, devised after one too many games in which I just had to "wing it" when the PCs would stumble across a battle (or be faced with the ungodly task of using normal D&D combat rules for 100+ characters...), is a combination of my history in Warhammer...
