Message: <blockquote data-quote="Biffoniacus Furious" data-source="post: 2440274" data-attributes="member: 34582">Racial HD never use the epic progression for BAB or Base Saves. A creature's first 20 Class Levels always use the class progression for BAB and Base Saves, regardless of Hit Dice. Only when a creature hits 21 Class Levels does it begin using the epic progressions for BAB and Base Saves, and then only for Class Levels, never Racial Hit Dice. Example: MM3, Eldritch Giant ConfessorThe Eldritch Giant has 25 HD of Giant, which grants a +18 BAB. The Confessor has an additional 11 levels of Cleric, with a +26 BAB, which means it used the Cleric progression for BAB. This wasn't changed in the errata, therefore it is correct. Whoever wrote the epic characters section of the DMG either didn't know what they were doing, or completely forgot to take racial HD into account.</blockquote>
