[QUOTE="pawsplay, post: 5551883, member: 15538"] So... combat skills. Do you use them? I'm wondering, because as written, a Gun Bunny at 6th level could have +6 BAB, then another 9 ranks in Gun Combat, netting a +15 to hit. That's not completely out of whack with a boosted 6th level D&D character, but it's high. And although you can boost defenses with Defense Combat Mastery and skills, by default, AC doesn't scale, but every class has a BAB progression. Since BESM d20 has armor as DR (basically)... it's as if characters tended toward the higher end of attack bonuses, while most targets have to rely on their touch AC for defense. What happens if you cut loose with skills like that? Any problems? What about skills for Special Attacks.... do characters tend to lose the Will save race, or does Mind Defense and basic progression do a decent job? Has anyone simply dispensed with combat skills, as they suggest you may do? If so, how do you deal with DCs for special attacks? [/QUOTE]
