UA BAB/save variant

[Vorput]

Somewhere there's a chart of variant saves/BABs for multi-classing in UA (and I'd only assume online somewhere, since it was released as part of SRD)- does anyone know where that is?

It's the table that let you gain .5 to saves and BAB and such when you multiclass.

Actually, I think that was in a sidebar, not the main text, and therefore I haven't seen it reposted online.

Ahhhh... that would explain much, thanks. I'll just wait till I have the book in front of me then

It's actually pretty easy to figure out mathematically. For BAB, good BAB classes get +1/level, average BAB classes get +0.75/level, and poor BAB classes get +0.5/level. Always round down. That's it! I forget what they give as the numbers for Saving Throws or if they account for the 1st level "bonus" for good saves.

So, using these optional rules, a Wizard 3/Rogue 3 would have a BAB of +3 (0.5+0.5+0.5+0.75+0.75+0.75=3.75, rounded down to 5). The same character under the PHB rules would also have a +3. I think it only really starts to help at higher levels.

Good saving throws increase 1/2 each level, and bad get 1/3 each level. A character with any levels that grant a good save also gets a +2 bonus.

As I recall, the UA rules repeatedly apply that +2 bonus and make multiclassing between several classes with the same saves a bit powerful. If you just apply it once the system works better.
