It was just a starting poitn for you.So in place of modifiers, what are those modifiers?+weapon bonus+strength bonus+dexterity bonus+speed penalty (?)etcI just didnt list them all out. You claim they are the same effect, but I think there are quiet a bit more to BAB system of to-hit than with THAC0.Which while using only addition (except for pentalties) BAB adds a LOT more tot he equation.As RC said there is near infinite modifiers in the BAB system. Because the system has no limit on AC and to balance this has no limit on the number of modifiers.Within THAC0 you must fit within a specified range. Once you hit the boundary that is it. Under THAC0 you cannot have a bonus great than 10 to a die roll, and cannot have a penatly greater than 10 either. so your modifier ranges from -10 to 10.With BAB, you can have penalties into oblivion and the sky is the limit on bonuses....how else would the system allow to hit a AC500 should someone decide to make one?</blockquote>
