Ok, BAB?

[Aluvial]

How do you figue the BAB for the characters...

Is it half level only?

I can't seem to figure out how to do an attack bonus???

Is it 1/2 level + ability modifer only?

Why are the attack bonuses for the pregens on the Wizard's site so high?

What am I missing?

1/2 level + ability mod + proficiency bonus + enhancement bonus (on magic weapons/implements)

There is no BAB any more. Your basic attack bonus at 1st level with a weapon you're proficient in is 1/2 level + ability mod + proficiency bonus (which you'll find in the Weapons chart in the Equipment chapter). Later, you might get feats, powers, or magic weapons that further add to that.

 

[Lucas Blackstone]

Appropriate stat modifier + 1/2 level + proficiency + enhancement bonus + feat bonus + power bonus + unnamed bonuses. Those are the typical modifiers you would run across. There are a bunch more, mostly conditional, that could add in.

 

[Dalzig]

Um, the bonuses for the Human Wizard aren't high...

+4 is the Wizard's Intelligence, which is what they use for most of their attacks.

Pretty sure he meant the pregens in general, not the wizard--if you don't know about the prof. bonus, it's easy to think any of the weapon-users have a bonus +2 or +3 higher than they should.

PHB pg 274 should give you all the info people above have quoted. It isn't called Base Attack Bonus anymore but amounts to the same thing.

I just wanted to point out that you said there is no BAB anymore, then told him how to calculate his Basic Attack Bonus (i.e. BAB).
