[QUOTE="Turanil, post: 1774894, member: 9646"] [b]I just got my copy of d20 Future (Amazon was so loooong to deliver)[/b] Well, after having got a first look at it by flipping through the pages, I noticed one thing I don't like: BAB progression of advanced classes. It seems that most of them get medium BAB (i.e.: rogue's bab); as such, the [I]Dreadnought[/I] who is a sort of soldier gets the same BAB as a [I]Technosavant[/I] who is more of an engineer. IMO: it's like if the sorcerer and fighter had got the rogue's BAB. Then, the [I]Field Officer[/I] gets high (fighter) BAB, but I think it's the [I]Field Officer[/I] who should get medium BAB while a [I]Dreadnought[/I] the high one. After all, a military officer's training is supposed to emphasize on tactics, leading of men, etc., not actual mele fight, where the soldier (in this case [I]Dreadnought[/I]) training probably emphasizes on combat. BTW: I already had the same idea with the [I]Soldier[/I] AdC of d20 Modern. Then, getting a look at other classes quickly, I notice that [I]Helix Warriors[/I] get Darkvision. Frankly, this is botched work. I mean, there could be many races who already have Darkvision or don't rely on sight at all, so this is a useless special. Then, for a soldier of the future, getting Darkvision is but a waste of class ability: we already have in our present days' technology night googles that enable to see in darkness. They may not be that easy to use, but it's today's technology; in 2020 we can expect googles that enable to see in darkness as well as we see by daylight, plus with several improvements such as incorporated radar and what not. So here again, I am disappointed by this book. I guess it leaves publishers with room for coming up with more d20 Future stuff. [/QUOTE]
