[QUOTE="FEADIN, post: 2731450, member: 36011"] That's the way it is wrotten in the ELH, BAB for the HD, "normal" BAB for level up to 20 (not epic bab even if you have already 20+hd), HD don't count toward epic BAB. For the other post:... If a creature that was of the Humanoid type - with 14 racial HD and a single slam attck - took 11 levels of wizard, how many attacks would it have? Would it have 3 (the typical of a creature of that level with 3/4 bab), would it have 4 (as some arguments on this thread seem to suggest - that all pure creatures or 'more than a few HD' creatures that take enough levels in a class eventually have 4 attacks - even if this is not possible until into epic level), or would it have 2, the number expected of wizards? ..... You have to look at the BAB, not the levels. If you have a wizard 12 with BAB +6, who takes 30 fighter levels his BAB will be....+14 for only 3 att/round, on top of that he will have an EPIC attack bonus of +11. Even if the text speak about other rule I think it's for Epic consideration not for the PHB rule (maybe I'm wrong, how do you read this?) Epic Attack Bonus: Similarly, [B]the character’s base attack bonus does not increase after character level reaches 20th.[/B] However, the character does [B]receive a cumulative +1 epic bonus on all attacks at every odd-numbered level beyond 20th[/B], as shown on Table: Epic Save and Epic Attack Bonuses. [B]Any time a feat, prestige class, or other rule refers to your base attack bonus, use the sum of your base attack bonus and epic attack bonus[/B] [/QUOTE]
