[QUOTE="Enoch, post: 1330150, member: 16354"] Ok, about the Power Attack thing. When I keep saying BAB as a skill, I only use the term base attack as a way to keep things simple. For all rules purposes your actual BAB would be the rank of the skill not the entire bonus. While the damage would still be quite high at first level, it wouldn't be quite as bad as you said. Not to mention in Grim-n-Gritty most people start with a lot more hitpoints than the average first level character and armor blocks damage. Something else I should add to this is that no one in my group uses power attack. :p The skill would actually be a style and not just an all around attack bonus. So one guy might be trained as a knight so he would have Knight-Training or some such as his skill and would get a bonus to sword, lance, etc. Other weapons would not get this bonus. *shrug* I don't mind people getting prestige classes earlier. It isn't like I just give it to them anyway. Iffy about this. The d20 martial arts rules that Ken Hood wrote can make defense sky rocket by picking particular manuevers. Plus there are parry and block manuevers. So I'm not all that worried about it. Yes everyone will need more skill points. Probably 2 more per level. I'm not too worried about it though, I have quite a large skill list compared to the normal D&D one and I think I already start most classes with more skill points anyway (I need to check my notes to be sure). Something else I forgot about is that feat that gives a bonus to a skill. That could be bad, but then again weapon focus does that anyway (well only a +1 bonus). Anyway, just so nobody gets in a big huff. I'm not saying this is how it should be for everyone. I'm just experimenting with it. I'm pretty sure it will work well with my group, but I assume it won't with most. [/QUOTE]
