[QUOTE="Kaodi, post: 3258803, member: 1231"] Well... why not double the damage dice of every weapon, and then each +5 in BAB gives an additional damage die? Or Each +5 BAB just multiplies the damage dice as is... Maybe the second method would be easier... in Star Wars, isn't there a class that essentially does this with the lightsaber? Anyway, Bob the Barbarian, using a greatsword, might do 2d6 at 1, 6d6 at 10 and 10d6 at 20. Meanwhile, Roy the Ranger, specializing in Dual Wielding, using the second method with a longsword and a shortsword might do 1d8 + 1d6 at 2, 2d8 + 1d6 at 5, 2d8 + 2d6 at 6, 3d8 + 2d6 at 10, 3d8 + 3d6 at 11, 4d8 + 3d6 at 15 and 5d8 + 3d6 at 20. On average, not accounting for Str, Bob would do 35 damage per attack, and Roy would do 32 damage per attack. Fred the Fighter, lastly, might do only 5d8 at level 20, but he has probably has a much better armour class, and with weapon specialization and greater weapon specialization, if you were to change the rules, might even be doing 7d8 (with the +2 attack from focuses).
