[QUOTE="SWAT, post: 1394631, member: 2751"] Might as well chip in since I started this... Actually, my main purpose in giving a BDB is to compensate for a reduction in character wealth. It's only about 75% what it should be. Also, I've made my own progression charts, which provide much less of a bonus than usual. A 20th level character would only get +7 for good, +5 for average, and +4 for poor. Characters get this bonus at any time they are not helpless, and it stacks with armor. My main philosophy is too give everyone average, unless there is a very good reason not to. In my campaign, characters are shot at with blaster weapons, lasers, and rocket launchers on a regular basis. Rogues have to get in close for sneak attacks, and Monks have to get in close for unarmed combat, so they get a good progression. The other fighting classes can resort to similar high-tech weapons without missing out on much, and they'll be in armor, so they get an average BDB.
