[QUOTE="kreynolds, post: 260439, member: 2829"] If that were the case, he should have stuck with fighter/ranger/tempest, but he didn't. It's like crying and whining over the fact that you just bought a chocolate icecream cone, when what you really wanted was vanilla, but you forgot. He can roll the dice all he wants. I still wouldn't give him the increase to his BAB. That's what leveling is for. You're absolutely right. [b]One[/b] extra attack [b]isn't[/b] a big deal, so why bother throwing a fit about it? The only people I know that argue this much over something so trivial are those on medication and wear funny little jackets most of the time. This only further proves my point. Why make such a big deal out of something that is apparently "trivial"? No. It's a theory. I didn't say I knew him. Exactly. Maybe he should find a group that wouldn't mind. I'm sure that would change the first time a spellcaster popped you with 4 more swings than usuall because his BAB was increased and he has two speed weapons. 1) Spending XP for a crappy attack is not the point. Have you ever noticed that you don't spend xp to gain a level? When you spend XP, you get something in return for delaying your next level up, which ironically, comes with many things, and one of which is, you guessed it, and increase in your BAB. 2) Once again, if it's such a trivial attack, why throw a fit? Or if you're defending a stronghold from a thousand orcs (no pun intended). There's that "trivial attack" thing again. I don't know [b]what[/b] he's looking for that's so important that he feels it necessary to alter the core rules of the class and leveling system. Apparently a few classes too late. [/QUOTE]
