[QUOTE="jontherev, post: 270020, member: 1451"] Actually, yes, I missed your last post, amidst the flames in this thread. But now that I read it, it wouldn't have changed my post. BAB is definitely NOT an innate bonus. BAB comes from the training from your class. If it was innate, then some wizards would get the bab as a fighter, simply because they were "born" with an innate fighting ability. Also, I am rather lenient when it comes to wish, so please don't lump me into some category as a DM trying to hose you. I would allow wishing for feats, as long as you have the prereq., it makes sense for your pc, AND you word it somewhat well. The fact is, I simply disagree with you. Your last point is lost on me. 3E defines that INT increases your skill points, I'll give you that. But personally, I would not screw over a player like this, by being sly and telling him he suddenly knows how to decipher scripts slightly better...but over all he doesn't feel any smarter. I'm not that strict. I just think wishing for bab smells like metagaming. So far, no one has even come close to changing my mind on that issue. As for your wish above, I would probably give you a +1 unnamed or insight bonus to all attacks. After all, the more often you hit, the more strikes you get in. Quite fair I think, considering Weapon Focus only gives +1 to attack with ONE weapon. However, I'd probably do something to balance this out, like alter your skin color or something humourous like that. [/QUOTE]
