[QUOTE="Turtlejay, post: 4909723, member: 70267"] Strange, I thought a ton of this thread was sarcastic, but everyone is keeping a remarkably straight face. So, you want to take full BAB and increased hit die, and turn in some other monk features that you don't use? Fighters get full bab and d10 hit die, all they get is a list of feats they can take. If you decided that is the way to go, you are now *better* than a fighter (since you get flurry, and unarmored bonus, speed bonus, etc) I think you might be asking a bit much. If you want something with d10 hit die and full bab with some bonus feats, go fighter. See if your DM will let you take some extra feats or give you some other bonus in exchange for the armor and weapon proficiencies. By the way, I once tried this with a Ranger. I thought that spellcasting and his pet were lame, the real meat of the class was the combat style and favored enemy. My proposed list of replacements might have looked like they were pulled from the barbarian, but what my DM and I worked out was actually a little more fair for everyone. Too bad I didn't get to play him much...(and then 4e came along and pretty much proved my point for me). Jay [/QUOTE]
