[QUOTE="JayBrickwall, post: 3904133, member: 57252"] It would seem to me that a single "progression" of BAB would make sense, in the sense that at each level each class could purchase a BAB "bonus"... Casters could purchase a Casting BAB, Melee'ers could purchase a Melee BAB... but as a character option you wouldn't HAVE to. Casters could certainly choose a Melee BAB once in awhile, and with some of the "talents" and abilities available, there is a chance that a fighter might want to up his casting BAB, occasionally. Could it be a "point-buy" system AT EACH LEVEL... Monte Hall style... "Okay, I will trade a die of HD and my Reflex save bonus for this other feat-tree ability, and I'll spend my BAB on casting" That would be CRAZY customization... but would allow for "concepts" to rule over "classes"... making ANY character more possible through the core ruleset. (Welcoming myself back to the boards... the books got put away for my first son to be born, and during some unnamed server reset, I must have lost my account. I log back in for the first time 2 weeks ago (or so)... and lo and behold... 4E..!!! Wow. So I've been reading and watching... And trying to keep my opinion in the "neutral middle ground"!) [/QUOTE]
