Nac, you crazy bastard, this thing still isn't up and running yet?
I may well jump in, since it looks as I have a stretch of free time in front of me. My vote's for the
new grim-n-gritty... but failing that I'll take the old.
I'm thinking an (ex?)bandit type, of an age to be determined (I'm weighing the relative pros and cons of old salt to cocky youngster). He did some highway robbery and never got caught, but perhaps a close call causes him to persue other lines of work... or perhaps he's unrepentant. Class-wise, I'll probably go Fast 2/Tough 2/Strong 1. Who knows? I may never take an advanced class. At least one more level of Strong, then maybe dedicated and/or just bump up the other classes after that.
If I could toss in a request (and consider it withdrawn if it complicates things), could we do some sort of partial advancement on BAB if nothing else? I.e, each level adds a fraction, rather than looking at the chart. A second level class with 3/4 BAB (+.75 per level) doesn't get +1; it gets +1.5, and you round off the fraction, etc., etc. It makes multiclassing more mechanically sound, a plus, methinks, in D20 modern.
