BAB and Irative attacks

K

Well-known member
I have a Multiclass Character Inquisitor and a custom class both with a 3/4 BAB. He is now eigth level and his bab is being caculated as 5 when it should be 6 this effects his iritive attacks. Could this be a rounding issue in the program. What I think is happening is that the prgroam is taking the 3/4 bab from each class and adding them together and rounding down instead of adding the class levels together and then multiplying by.75.
 
The "Attack Bonus" listed in the basics summary isn't the "Base Attack Bonus" - it's a modified attack bonus including things like size modifiers, spells or class abilities that give a bonus/penalty to all attacks, etc. Is your character a halfling/gnome?

Don't suppose we can get a BAB added somewhere like right above like:
BAB +5
Basic Attack Bonus +6

... Or am I dreaming? ;-)
 
What the OP is referring to is an optional rule called 'Fractional BAB and Saves' or something like that. It carries the fractions forward on saves and BABs from multiple classes and only truncates after the values have been added.

The rule appeared in the 3.5 Unearthed Arcana and I really wish it was an option in HL. Otherwise you have sillyness like a Bard 1/Cleric 1/Inquisitor 1/Oracle 1 having a BAB of +0 rather than a +3 (the way the OP is calculating it). Not that such a class combination should be viable, but it demonstrates the extreme.
