Full BAB human paragon (without spellcasting)
Is there any issues in allowing a human paragon variant (like this) that drops spellcasting progression in exchange for full BAB? I can't see any reason to say no to something like this. Or am I missing something?

Re: Full BAB human paragon (without spellcasting)
Why would you not take it?
If you can't think of a good reason not to take it then it may well too good

Re: Full BAB human paragon (without spellcasting)
1 point of BAB for 2 lost casting levels? More than a fair trade, IMHO.
Also, for your own sanity, please be aware that dandwiki.com is NOT an official site, but rather a collection of homebrew which includes some official OGL items.
You are generally better off using d20srd.org or one of the other sites that confine themselves to official OGL items: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/ra...m#humanParagon
Oh I see, my bad, you were linking to a variant.Last edited by Thurbane; 2021-07-25 at 06:00 PM.

Re: Full BAB human paragon (without spellcasting)
Right. The only reason to deny this trade-off would be to prevent a fighter that wants to maintain full BAB and needs the skills from being a party face or something. I can't think of any implications of a full BAB human paragon that would unbalance the game.
Oh, believe me, I know. I hesitated before posting it.Last edited by redking; 2021-07-26 at 12:45 AM.

Re: Full BAB human paragon (without spellcasting)
It pretty clearly isn’t. Good bab, 1 good save, 1 feat, +2 to a stat, 4 skills freely chosen, one martial weapon
Ranger. Good BAB. 2 good saves. 3 feats (2 useless except as prerequisites). 6 skills from a good list. Favored enemy. All martial weapons. Shields. Access to spell trigger items from ranger spell list. Roughly 29 available ACFs many better than vanilla ranger.
I can easily think of builds favoring either one over the other. In a vaccum, Ranger 3 is stronger.Last edited by Gnaeus; 2021-07-27 at 03:50 PM.
