[QUOTE="UnDfind, post: 58287, member: 2744"] [b]Man[/b] That's asking for trouble. Important things should NEVER be skill based without high DCs. The D20 system allows the skill bonuses to get too high to rely on skills for attacking foes (unless AC was also increased by a skill). If you need proof check it out for 7th level fighter: Skill Focus: Hit Baddies In Da' Head=+3 Str 18=+4 4 SP at first level, and one each additional level=10 Weapon Focus: Head Hitta=1(medium) Weapon Focus Li'l Head Hitta=1(Small) = A plus 17 to hit at 7th level...split that's 18/13/8/3 Now add in ambidexterity and 2 weapon fighting, what what do you get? +16/+16/+11/+6/+1 That's at 7th level! Even if you worked out a different system for multiple attacks you'd still be able to hit nearly anything as long as you didn't roll a 1. You'd have to work some wierd chart thingy about how much BAB increases per skill bonus, and it would end up as the same thing. But of course if you're looking for power, go for it, but I'd reccomend making some sort of Dodge skill for AC mods, but all you'd really be doing is working with bigger numbers in the same system. It's not a bad idea, just one that would require an entirely different system to work. If you come up with a way to work it, tell me and I'll use it. I've always liked skill-based weapon stuff better than class-based. [/QUOTE]
