In real world, no way. There's no reason to think Paul Chen will be able to defeat a seasoned experienced warrior, or to believe that Masamune could defeat an experienced samurai (or a CR3 ogre, for that matter). And if we include other level-dependant stuff, then it's even worse (there's no reason a good artisan should resist a "fear" spell better than a seasoned lvl 3 fighter)It's not like really matters, though. The Blacksmith is never going to battle, unless he is supposed to, so his real BAB is not relevant at all. All you need from him is his crafting skill, 99% of the time.</blockquote>
