I don't have the unearthed arcana book with me this weekend, so can someone run that variant be me? I think it means that instead of being a fighter 1/ranger 1 with a +2 to fort saves from each one for a +4 you get a +3 like a fighter 2. Am I right?
What it means is that you can look at the mathematical progression and saves for a class and and your BAB and base saves together
before rounding. The way it is currently done in the books is that a Cleric one, which has a BAB of +.75 is rounded down to +0, and so is a first level Rogue, so a Cleric 1/Rogue 1 has a BAB of +0. Using the partial system the BAB of that character would be +1.5, which rounds down to +1. As far as saves go, I think you still get the +2 for each level if the class has a good save, but after that you need to make sure that you keep track of when your save is half way between one point and the next since having such an occurencein multiple classes could net you a bonus.
I hope that made sense, and I hope I got the part about saves right. I'm not 100% sure, but I think yours were right Tyreus.
BWT Tyreus, I'm just curious, but do you plan to take Dervish all the way to level 10? (If we live that long of course)
@wgreen-Doh...and some people tell me I'm smart. As far as the partial bases thing goes, I don't think it is a big deal, but I just pointed it out because it will only help people, and not hurt anyone.
