The Base Save Bonus for "Good" saves was +2.5 at L1, plus an additonal .5 per additional level. The Base Save Bonus for "Poor" saves was + 1/3'rd at L1, plus an additonal 1/3'rd per additional level. This has no effect on single-classed characters, but tends to result in notably higher save bonuses for multiclassed characters. The Base Attack bonus is simpler, being a simple +1/+.75/+.5 per level for characters with Good/Average/Poor melee attack progressions. In either case, the basic difference is rounding down after summing the values from various classes, rather than before adding them up. We used it for a bit, but then we converted to Eclipse - a straight d20 point-buy system - so it hasn't been necessary since. People who want good saves, BAB, or whatever just spend points there instead of on something else.</blockquote>
