(Similar to Pendragon)BTW (as an aside), you also got me thinking...Using the current system, how would it be, as a house rule, to re-name BAB to BCB (basic combat bonus), and allow the player to choose each round how much of it he wants to apply to attack (BAB) and how much to defense (AC)?</blockquote>
