[QUOTE="Sadrik, post: 5071973, member: 14506"] Well 3.5 PA is broken the way it is now and with what I have proposed I have made it less so. What you propose makes it even less than that. It becomes broken with things like touch attacks or lots of attack bonuses. Normal: -1 BAB for +2 damage with a two handed weapon. Limit = BAB. So a +12 BAB character can drop to +0 BAB and do +24 damage. To even approach that amount of damage the same +12 BAB guy under my idea would have to take two feats and when improved power attacking would have +4 BAB and do +12 damage. Note that is 1/2 the damage (but also a better chance of hitting). I think the PF method has value but it does scale with more granularity than I would prefer to deal with. With my variant, it is either on or off and their is no choice of how much penalty to get how much benefit. I like that a lot. [/QUOTE]
