Just an idea (that has probably popped up earlier -anyone can point to the relevant treads-...)
=> A player may take a full round attack action but may substitute any of his attacks for a 5-foot-step provoking AoO.
=> Upgrading the 5-foot-step:
10-foot-skip-hop
** prerequisites:
Mobilty
Jump: 5 ranks
13 Strength** bonus:
A player can take a 10-foot-skip-hop in stead of a normal five foot step.
A player substituting an attack during a full round attack action for a 5-foot-step does not provoke AoO.
A player substituting an attack during a full round attack action for a 10-foot-skip-hop does provoke AoO, depending on his strength bonus and armor:
Strength bonus +1: wearing no armor does not provoke AoO.
Strength bonus +2: wearing light armor does not provoke AoO.
Strength bonus +3: wearing medium armor does not provoke AoO.
Strength bonus +5: wearing heavy armor does not provoke AoO.Shoot. Burn. Kill...
Its an interesting idea, but wouldn't it make for a lot to track?
We tried something once that we thought worked pretty well when we were trying to make combat a little more dynamic. We added BAB to the initiative modifier and re-rolled for initiative for each round of combat. Really made for some interesting battles and skewed things a little more towards martials which felt both more balanced and more realistic.
