[QUOTE="Hawken, post: 4784459, member: 23619"] I don't and I think this rule would get rid of a lot of them. The opposed check would only be allowed if the target has Improved Grapple. The only problem with a check vs. a DC is that the DC doesn't account for skill. Your guy would have the exact same chance to grapple and do something to a 1st level Fighter or one that was 20th level. What about making the DC have the same modifiers as the check itself? Check = d20 + BAB + str + size Save DC = 10 + BAB + str + size Yes, two weapon fighters give up shields for extra attacks, but if they're not making extra attacks, shouldn't they get a bonus to AC? If you want to give an automatic bonus to AC, how about +1 to AC for each extra attack (at BAB +6, +11, and +16). If you want to have an extra feat, make Two Weapon Defense double the bonus. Yes, but feats are designed for making exceptions to rules.
