Magic doesn't bypass that cap. Unless there's some factor I'm missing?

You're not! But with the new AB bonuses, and the fact that +6 str + 19-22 BAB + all the true strike you can shake a fist at, getting an ab in the mid or even high 40's seems to me readily viable for a spellsword with 10 strength- and you'll carry bonus damage from your intelligence as well (if you don't increase it at all from 18, you can get +10 out of it).Peppermint wrote:How?Aelryn Bloodmoon wrote:3: Getting strength is pretty easy if your kit demands it when you can cast 9th level spells.

Yup, just saw the misleading line!. The AB increase is meant to simulate BAB but isn't actually BAB xD. Ohh fun!Iceborn wrote:That's what I suspected, though Lorkas made me think otherwise (this is all your fault, Lorkas!).
Though, if you can figure another way to implement it, all the better. Monk spellswords sound interesting, and so any other class that may come in the future that uses altered BAB/Extra attacks.
