[QUOTE="Henry, post: 273750, member: 158"] Ignoring the nasty feelings and the whole "you are kowtowing to a whiner" arguments - I have one question: Would those who vehemently deny this player the chance to get his BAB, have had no argument if he had legitimately worked his way up with the requisite number of classes to get his extra attack? The answer is is yes. There would be no argument if he legitimately had that level of Ranger, instead of wizard, or whatever. Let the poor schmuck change one level of wizard for Ranger, or whatever is required. What he is gaining in BAB he is losing in wizard power. He might get that power back later at 21st level, but it is no different from the player who chose the correct classes to get this benefit in the first place. If the other players have no qualms, offer him the option to exchange one of his wizard levels (and MAKE HIM RETROACTIVELY WORK ON ALL SKILLS, FEATS, ETC. WHEN DOING THIS) for ranger levels, and then move on. In the scheme of a two-year campaign, with all the fun and enjoyment that has been had previously, it is not that big of a ****ing deal. I will NEVER again give a player grief over a poor choice in character abilities, especially when it doesn't change the original character concept. I learned that lesson the hard way over years of gaming. [/QUOTE]
