[QUOTE="Fieari, post: 3328111, member: 16221"] I know you said "if you don't have a problem with PA don't post", but I feel I have something to add anyway. Because I do feel there is an imbalance and discrepancy with regards to how much more effective a 2H Swordsman is over a Sword and Board guy. But my fix wasn't to nerf power attack. Instead, I beefed Combat Expertise, making it limited by your total BAB right out of the gate, like PA, and in addition, gave a 2-for-1 ratio when it comes to using shields. This had the effect of making combat expertise actually useful, and used by my players, which NEVER happened before, and the shield became quite a useful tool. Maybe perhaps a bit too useful at times, but we had fun, and the nigh-impossible to hit ACs were countered with quite interesting tactics, if I do say so myself, including drawing out attacks by presenting targets of opportunity, flanking, and other such things.
