You're talking about making ALL the attacks you make in a round into a standard action, called a flurry (I should've mentioned that I had a high-level feat that lets you make all your attacks as a standard action, and the monk gets a class ability to make a flurry as a standard action too). You can't, however, simply get rid of full-round actions - there are many other things besides full attacks that use them, like spells, loading a heavy crossbow, delivering a coup de grace (I changed that one too, so a full-round CDG is instant death, whereas a standard-action CDG deals max damage and allows a save), etc.As far as TWF vs. PA: they already deal the same amount of damage:Ftr 11 (Bob), w/longsword and shortsword, 18 Str:+13/+8/+3 and +13/+8 (+11 BAB, -2 for all attacks, +4 Str); avg damage (assuming all attacks hit): (3d8+12) + (3d6+12) = 48Vs. Ftr 11 (Frank), w/greatsword and Power Attack, 18 Str. For this comparison, we'll assume the target is AC 15, so Frank decides to dump 5 points of BAB into his PA:+12/+7/+2 (+11 BAB, +4 Str, -5 PA); avg damage (w/+5 PA): 48 (wow, I'm good - I just pulled that out of thin air).Bob and Frank have roughly the same chance of hitting the target, and deal the same amount of damage. You could say that Bob has to make more attacks to do it, which gives him a greater chance of failing to meet his average, and you'd be right - but don't forget that extra damage applies on every attack - sneak attack, elemental damage, favored enemy, whatever, it makes Multiattack a no-brainer feat for rogues, like Weapon Finesse. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, mind you - I like it - but it's too good.One final thought: Calling a full attack a "flurry" is going to get every confused with the monk's flurry of blows. Not a good thing. I don't see why you don't keep the original nomenclature (transparency and all that) and just change how it works.</blockquote>
