[QUOTE="krupintupple, post: 4272995, member: 58300"] OP here, i should note this stems from perhaps two players in separate games i dm; although they play separately, they're both utterly convinced that you cannot detract from BAB, much akin to the rule about never giving up caster level. i probably picked this sentiment up from them, and took it as fact until it irked me enough to ask you folks today. it stemmed, at least in one case, of a character who plays a front-liner who's refused to multiclass and stick straight fighter - citing that the BAB is superior to any class that adds 'bells and whistles' instead of BAB. my recommendation of a dip into psywar to net psionic weapon and some minor buffs was politely declined. i tried to explain that the benefits of a properly done multiclass can outweigh a single BAB, but he's sticking fighter through and though. i even suggested adding other classes, such as duskblade or knight, that give a BAB as well as some neat abilities, but he's adamant. not trying to strong arm a PC, but just curious where this 'thou shalt not detract from thine BAB' commandment would've came from?
