[QUOTE="Kerrick, post: 4601147, member: 4722"] Which issue do you mean - delaying BAB, or giving monks full AB? I've already dropped the second idea.... as for the first, *everyone* gets the delayed BAB - I'm not changing any of the progressions, or giving everyone the same progression (did I give that impression? Sorry), just changing when iterative attacks kick in. Fighters will still progress faster than everyone else, and will have 3 attacks at L18, while everyone else has only 2. I think what he's saying is that you're penalizing the classes that most need the boost (fighters), since reducing them to only 1 attack per round severely limits their damage output, which is what they rely on to be viable. They [i]need[/i] those extra attacks (or some analogue thereof - see PF's Vital Strike feat). Reducing total number of attacks by 1 wouldn't affect too much, I think, because the lowest AB attack generally misses anyway. [/QUOTE]
