[QUOTE="Goken100, post: 2989998, member: 42968"] I assume that comment is based on Wisdom Modifier being used to modify the Base Attack Bonus when calculating Action Time. Firstly, I think it would be a rare occasion when a Cleric of the same level as a Fighter has a faster Action Time. The higher base attack bonus would eventually outstrip the difference in Wisdom Modifiers. That being said... its a good criticism. I'm not at all certain that using Wisdom is a good idea here. I did it for two reasons: to try to incorporate some way to have a character's innate common sense into getting something done in battle, and to increase the importance of Wisdom (one of the least utilized abilities). Should I nix it, and just worry about Base Attack Bonus? The cool thing about this system is that, at the DM's discretion, free actions can either still be free or can take a second or two. A 5ft-step (or 2m-step) would still be free as part of another action that takes all of the character's Action Time. Effects that last a certain number of rounds last that number of rounds times 6 seconds. So if I cast a spell during second #10 that lasts 5 rounds, it will expire at the end of second #40 (10 + 5 X 6 = 40). [/QUOTE]
