[QUOTE="Gez, post: 434181, member: 1328"] Multiple attacks. Someone with a BAB of +6 (6th-level fighter, 8th-level cleric or rogue, 12th-level wizard, or some multiclass combination) get an additional attack at +1. That's called "iterative attacks". Similarly, a BAB of +11 gives two iterative attacks, one at +6 and one at +1, and a BAB of +16 gives you the maximum of 3 iterative attacks, at +11, +6 and +1. Even with epic levels and a BAB of +127, you only get 3 iterative attacks. Exception: the monk get a special class feature that allow him to get iterative (unarmed or with special monk weapons) attacks every 3 ranks, rather than every 5 ranks. He caps at 4 iterative attacks (for a level 20 monk, that will be +15 (first attack)/+12/+9/+6/+3). In order to perform the iterative attacks, one must do a full attack action. Some feats or class features allow to perform other extra attacks that are not iterative attacks, like a monk's Flurry of Blow (one extra attack at the cost of a -2 penalty on all attack rolls), the Two-Weapon Fighting (one extra attack with the off-hand weapon) and Improved Two-Weapon Fighting feats, the Cleave and Great Cleave feats, etc. And on top of that, you must add the famous Attacks of Opportunity.
