Well... ???  The damage reduction is great in concept, but even without DR, the idea that fighters can't really guarantee that a single hit is more damaging at 20th level than when they were 1st level is kinda strange (barring a couple extra points from feats and maybe a magic weapon/item).  Some of that experience should translate into a regular dependable skill.  One that does more than saying now you're better at hitting but you're not better at dealing damage (not considering iterative attacks/feats/manuevers).I see where you're coming from on this.  And, this would be simpler from a GM perspective, too.  As my route will have the GM figuring up what type of BAB a creature has to determine how much extra damage it is able to bring to bear.  But, my method rewards melee types even more than it does semi-melee and non-melee types.  And, that works for me.You know, I haven't used this, and we've been running with this addition for a while.  As-is, I'm confident that it's balanced without it being precision damage... but boy do I like the idea of it being precision-based.  I may have to make that change in my game, just to make the crit-immune folks even more terrifying!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>[/QUOTE]
