I'd allow a portion of your BAB to add to the skill, which would basically mean that the players could improve at the game, but unless they actually spend some skill points on it (or-- Pelor forbid-- a feat!), it's entirely likely that a 1st level commoner who's trained extensively could be a challenge for them.Something like this (note that the name of the game is Bally, which rhymes with Rally, not Folly):Bally (Dex)Check: You make a Bally check when attempting to throw or catch a Ballyring.Action: Throwing a Bally ring is a standard action. Catching one is an immediate action.Try Again: NoSpecial: You add one half your BAB to your Bally checks. In addition, if you have Weapon Focus for any thrown weapon, or any other bonuses on attack rolls for thrown weapons, you add that to your Bally Checks. For example, a halfling gets a +1 racial bonus on Bally checks because of his race's aptitude with thrown weapons.Bally TrainingYou have spent a lot of time and effort training in the sport of Bally.Benefit: You get a +4 competence bonus on all Bally Checks.So what do you guys think of that?</blockquote>
