Message: <blockquote data-quote="Elder-Basilisk" data-source="post: 932966" data-attributes="member: 3146">Unfortunately, players in the RPGA's living campaigns don't have a choice, but if the rest of the changes 3.5 changes are like 90% of the changes so far, any game I have a choice about will run 3.0e rules with the odd 3.5e adjustment. (Maybe the new classes and some of the new spells but very few--if any (I'm not sure I like the way Harm was revised--the save is good; the cap is a player nerf) of the revised spells, and possibly improved Weapon focus and speciailization but that's probably it).That said, the power attack change is utterly ridiculous. In 3e, multiclass 10th level fighter/barbarian/rogue characters can lose two or three points of BAB and still be cranking out upwards of 70 points of damage per round on a full attack and 40/round on a normal attack using power attack. This will probably bump those numbers up to 90 and 50 respectively. I suppose it will help to remedy the melee/archer inequality now that melee fighters don't have Haste to help them get full attacks but it still seems wildly advantageous to two handed weapon wielders.Should Combat Expertise mirror power attack (can't be used with a weapon larger than the character, +2 to AC for each -1 to hit if you're using a weapon in one hand), shield and dwarven waraxe dwarf fighters will also be a viable character type.And I suppose that single classed rogues with TWF feats will now be able to do +42d6 sneak attack if they hit with all six attacks at 15th level. Other TWF characters, however, need not apply.</blockquote>
