[QUOTE="magic_gathering2001, post: 3001453, member: 32001"] You still have the problem of doubling the movement time... and I still don't think its enough... I propose: A) Convert all of your numbers to half seconds, and have the action times be BaB Half Seconds 0-5 7 6-10 6 11-15 4 16-19 3 20+ 2 It gets around the problem of wizards getting more spells than fighters do attacks but only at high levels, although you may have concerns with the maximum times BaB Min Action Time poor 6 fair 4 good 2 It gives the move-attack over time increase, and gives fighters a distinct advantage in actions per combat to wizards. Attacks of opportunity: Attacks of opportunity unlike normal attacks are executed immediately and have a recovery period(or if you prefer are executed at the character's reation time through the action) I.E. Bobo the bard is engaged in combat with Sir Knight. Bobos action time is 7 Sir Knights is 6 Tick 1 : Bobo starts to cast a spell at the beggining of combat. Tick 2 : Sir knight 'jogs' to Bobo who is 3 spaces away Tick 4 : Sir Knight is threatening bobo who is casting a spell. HE makes an immediate AoO on Bobo for 5 damage with his longsword. Bobo sucedes on his concentration check Tick 8 : Bobo's spell goes off, giving him a +1 bonus on attack and damage. Bobo Starts an attack Tick 10: Sir Knight starts an attack. Tick 15: Bobo's attack goes off wounding Sir Knight Tick 16: Sir Knights attack further wounds Bobo Tick 22: Both Critically hit eachother and die a bloody death. OR Bobo the bard is engaged in combat with Sir Knight. Bobos action time is 7 Sir Knights is 6 Tick 1 : Bobo starts to cast a spell at the beggining of combat. Tick 2 : Sir knight 'jogs' to Bobo who is 3 spaces away Tick 4 : Sir Knight is threatening bobo who is casting a spell. HE starts an AoO on Bobo for 5 damage with his longsword. Bobo sucedes on his concentration check Tick 6: Sir Knight's AoO strikes Bobo for 5 damage with his longsword. Bobo sucedes on his concentration check Tick 8 : Bobo's spell goes off, giving him a +1 bonus on attack and damage. Bobo Starts an attack Tick 10: Sir Knight starts an attack. Tick 15: Bobo's attack goes off wounding Sir Knight Tick 16: Sir Knights attack further wounds Bobo Tick 22: Both Critically hit eachother and die a bloody death. Concerns: Demons/Dragons that have really high BaB and spell like abilities. Its not pretty any way you lok at it. Prestige Classes like the eldritch knight that provid full spellcasting and full BaB (thats what the 20th BaB drop is for) [/QUOTE]
