Epic BAB

[Skullfyre]

I do not know if this was done yet but here goes.
If you are a character that has 3 attacks at 20th level
when you go epic it does not give you a 4th attack eventually. Does it?

Ie a 20th level fighter has 4 attacks +20/+15/+10/+5
a 20th level bard has 3 attacks +15/+10/+5

but what does a 30th level bard have for attacks?
is it +20/+15/+10 or is it +20/+15/+10/+5?

Which is it?
I hope I have made the question understandable.

The number of attacks you have at 20th level are all you ever get. You are correct

 

[Crothian]

the number of attacks you have at 20th is how many you will always have.

"but what does a 30th level bard have for attacks?
is it +20/+15/+10 or is it +20/+15/+10/+5?"

THe Answer is +20/+15/+10

There is a thread in the Rules Forum that has suggestions that may or may not be strictly leagal to increase your BAB to get more attacks.

Good I am not going crazy
but if you were to add the fighter and go the 20 levels of fighter/paladin/ranger/barbarian then and only then would you get the 4th attack, correct?

Base Attack Bonus stops accruing at *character* level 20. Every bonus to attack at level 21+ is an Epic Attack Bonus; which works like Base Attack Bonus in every way (i.e. for feats and so on) EXCEPT for accruing additional attacks. Same with save bonuses; those from classes stop accruing at character level 20, after 20 it's an Epic Save Bonus every other level.

So, a Bard 20 who later added Fighter 20 would still have only 3 attacks.
