[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3549953, member: 29014"] Actually, if the req is BAB +23, that means they don't want someone taking it until level 26 at earliest. I suggest using my rules hack to fix the idiotic Fighter20/Wizard20 thing. It's a bit more complicated, but if you're playing at epic, you'll have to deal with worse. Basically, the idea is that the character picks her best 20 levels (instead of just picking the first 20 levels) to count for regular BAB and then adds 1 more for every 2 others. So if a Paladin4/Knight4/Monk2/Divine Crusader10 wants Divine Emissary, and she takes 4 levels of Paladin, she can replace the 2 Monk levels and the last 2 DC levels for purposes of regular BAB (gaining 2 BAB from that), and then gain 2 more epic bonus from the 4 levels she replaced, bringing her total effective BAB to 20. 4 more Paladin levels (replacing DC levels for BAB) gives an increase of 1 BAB again and 2 more epic bonus, for 23 total at level 29. By level 33, if she takes all Paladin levels (or any full BAB class), she has the same BAB as someone who started with Paladin 20 and took 13 levels of other stuff after epic. This also allows epic characters who take full BAB classes after epic to make up for the missing attacks, while those who continue in casting classes all the while are still stuck at a lower number.
