SableWyvern said:What is the official status of that FAQ? Is it meant to be errata?
If it is merely meant to explain ambiguous rules, in this instance it is just flat out wrong. It does not explain a rule, it contradicts/changes the official rule from the PHB.
If the FAQ does have the authority to make outright rule-changes, then I humbly retract my previous assertions and defer to Gromm and Henrix.
Gromm said:Basically a multiclassed monk has his BAB and his Monk Unarmed BAB, which are seperate from each other.
So if he has +4 from Monk and +3 from Fighter he gets either
+4/+1 or +7/+2.
"Togashi Tidaiko, however, is a 3rd-level samurai/5th-level monk/ 7th-level tattooed monk. Her base attack bonus is +11 (+3 from her samurai levels, +3 from her monk levels, and +5 from her tattooed monk levels). Normally she would have two additional attacks at +6 and +1. She can instead take the additional unarmed attacks listed for a +8 base attack bonus from her monk and tattooed monk levels on Table 3-1, +5 and +2. She makes three attacks in a round, whether armed or unarmed. If unarmed (or using a monk weapon), she can choose whether to strike at +11/+6/+1 or at +11/+5/+2. Armed with an ordinary weapon, she must attack at +11/+6/+1. She has the unarmed damage, AC bonus, and abase speed of a 12-th level monk."
For instance, a 10th level monk/7th level wizard has a combined attack bonus of +10 (+7 for the monk class, +3 for the wizard class
Normally, this would give her an additional attack at +5 (+10/+5 on Table 3-1: Base Save and Base Attack Bonuses),
but she can instead take the two additional unarmed attacks listed for a 10th level monk, +4 and +1 (+7/+4/+1 on Table 3-10: The Monk)

from the PHB, page 55
"Monk Base Attack Bonus: The monk is a special case because her additional unarmed attacks are better than her base attack bonus would suggest. For a multiclass monk fighting unarmed, the character must either use the additional attacks given for her monk levels (only) or the additional attacks that are standard for her combined base attack bonus, but not both. "

Nope Kreynolds, have to disagree.

PHB p55 Base Attack Bonus
For a multiclass monk fighting unarmed, the character must either use the additional attacks given for her monk levels (only) or the additional attacks that are standard for her combined base attack bonus, but not both.
