[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5708607, member: 35909"] I just can't accept that rationale, because they DID change many, many things that made backwards compatibility much harder or near impossible. Barbarian Rage and Bardic Performance being switched to rounds/day screwed up backwards compatibility way more than monks with full BAB ever would have. My barbarians used to buy the party druid UMD'er a wand of Blood Frenzy (target, if he has a rage ability, can enter it without expending a daily use). How the heck does that work in PF, exactly? What about Bard feats to expend a use of performance for the day to gain X benefit? How many rounds is one "daily use" worth in PF terms? Not to mention the changes to the bard spell progression. They get 1st level spells at level 1 now. So that doesn't potentially mess up prestige class requirements, but a BAB increase does? So no. The reasons monks got saddled with medium BAB seem to be entirely arbitrary, it had nothing to do with backwards compatibility. [/QUOTE]
