Thus, you can have effectively a full BAB in Melee and 1/2 BAB in Marksmanship, for example. Base bonus adds to AC as well, and I have a Swashbuckler fighting style for the fighter class (each fighter gains a style at 1st class level; "attribute" below is actually "ability modifier" in the usual 3.x sense):SwashbucklerYour wit is your weapon and you tend to dazzle your opponents with acrobatic maneuvers.Skill Expertise: Melee Benefits: You receive Skill Affinity (Acrobatics) as a bonus feat. As long as you are conscious and not wearing medium or heavy armor, you receive a bonus to AC equal to your Intelligence attribute (minimum +2). This bonus improves by 2 at 10th level, and by 2 at 20th level.So, basically, with a decent Dex and Int (+3 each), you could wear studded leather at 1st level (no chain shirts... ever) and have an AC bonus of 10+3 (armor) +3 (Dex) +3 (Int) = 19, which is pretty good.EDIT: I may change the swashbuckler bonus granularity to +1 every 5th level rather than +2 every 10th.</blockquote>
