I'd read that as +2 Mod, not base... not that it matters much now. That source is normally better at lableing Homebrew vs OGL, I went trying to find the original documents, and eventually stumbled across a link that was actually labled Homebrew.

As an interesting sidenote.[url=http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Enable_Criticals_(3.5e_Feat)]the article on NBoF Ballance[/url] gives a scale of brokeness for HB. (For nerds like me who read these things for fun)

I really am not super concerned about optimization, I tend to be the Actor/Explorer type of gamer. So I'd rather build an interesting player than get the most out of the 'crunch' aspect of the game. I'm sadly not finding many fighter feats I qualify for that match my character concept... I guess I'll figure something out when I come back.
