[QUOTE="kreynolds, post: 259913, member: 2829"] Because that's not the type of bonus that Wish can even grant you. Only level gets you that. So? The bonus to attack from Strength doesn't have the capability of granting you another attack. Increasing your BAB could give you another attack, which is outside the boundaries of a Wish. A wish, after all, can't level you either. Except for an increase in BAB. Irrelevant. If you're 19th level, you need 19,000 XP to get another level, which might or might not increase your BAB, based upon your class. So, sometimes, even 19,000 XP won't get you another attack. There are 2 solutions to this problem. 1) Create another character and scrap the old one. 2) Quit crying and deal with it. If he's a role-player, this shouldn't be a big deal for him (this assumes, of course, that this individual possesses at least the maturity of a 10 year-old). 3) Stop. Breathe. Think about how hard you have worked to build your character. Think about everything your character has been through, good and bad. Think about all your character has learned. Think about how much your character has grown, developed into something with a personality nearly it's own. Sit back. Now, if none of that makes you feel better, quit role-playing and pick up Diablo II. This isn't a flaw in the system. This isn't something that needs to be fixed either. When someone stops thinking about the individual their character is, when they stop thinking about what class to take because [b]it might actually make sense for their character to walk that path[/b], they are no longer a role-player.
