A man, though this was based on a Moorcock deal.

Classes Variant: Class Ability Score Adjustment Each class gives you a choice of an ability score increase at 1st level (see class entry). If a race increases one or more Ability Scores by 2 or more, reduce one of them by 1. For example, under this variant, a High Elf increases Dexterity and...

Rogue Ability Score Adjustment: Your Strength, Dexterity, or Intelligence score increases by 1. Proficiencies Armour: Light armour, bucklers Weapons: Simple weapons, arming swords, bolas, bo-staffs, broadswords, hand crossbows, longswords, rapiers, scimitars, shortswords, two-bladed swords...

For me, Expertise sort of crosses the line from elegant design to lazy. Merely doubling the proficiency bonus is not that interesting, and it implies things about the game world I don't dig. I don't think Bards and Rogues being able to specialise in an area of knowledge like no one else can is...

I'm not a fan of Expertise, especially its impact on the half-baked grappling rules. A 9th level bard or rogue can practically go around pinning pit fiends and what not with impunity. We have gone for a granular proficiency bonus for some campaigns: Variant: Proficiency Bonus; Low, Medium...

Using Ability Scores Proficiency Bonus Characters and monsters have a proficiency bonus determined by character level/hit dice. Strength Attack Rolls and Damage You also add your Strength modifier to your damage roll when attacking with a ranged weapon such as a sling or a longbow. Dexterity...
