[QUOTE="GorTeX, post: 2978411, member: 14624"] BAB is not usually the 1st number, as that number includes any bonuses or penalties you have to hit (str, magic, masterwork weapon, etc). BAB is only derived from levels. Nothing that I know of increases your BAB except for leveling. A 5th level fighter has a BAB of 5. Nothing but leveling to 6 (that I know of) will change that to 6. A spell could add +10000 to hit, and the 5th level fighter would have one attack at 10005 (+any other modifiers), but would not get any iterative attacks as his BAB is still 5. (and he'd still miss on a 1 ;) A 6th level fighter with the same outrageous spell cast on him would have 2 attacks +10006/+10001 (+other mods he may have..lets assume for now this is a weird figther with a str of 10, no feats like weapon focus and a non-masterwork sword ;)..but his BAB is still 6.
