[QUOTE="Cheiromancer, post: 330404, member: 141"] Maybe you're right about the cost for ability increases. I was thinking of a 4th level fighter who picks up a level of hero. He buys the following: Heightened Strength Heightened Constitution Bonus feat (weapon specialization) He doesn't get a +1 to BAB, but he does get a +1 strength bonus to attack and damage. He only gets d4 hit points, but his boost to Con gets him another 5 hp on top of that. And a +1 to his Fort Saves. A pretty good deal, and one that will get better with another level of hero (at level 2 is +1 to BAB). Probably no less problematic than taking a level of Ranger, though. Or cleric. Eventually, he's going to fall behind in his BAB, which will hinder his ability to take prestige classes and feats... What did we say the price of +1 BAB should be? Does +3 Hero Points seem reasonable? I'm also worried about Wizards bumping up their Intelligence and boosting their save DC's through the roof. And getting lots of bonus spells in the process. I'm thinking that if an ability bonus affects spell DC's, it should cost 3 hero points rather than 2. [/QUOTE]
