Does Martial Arcanist count epic bonuses to base attack? was planning on trying a martial oriented character who dabbled with arcane magic enough to get this, in epic

Technically, no. Your maximum BAB is 20, not matter what level or class you are. At epic levels you gain an epic bonus to attack rolls. Now, I'm not sure what would be reasonable here. Maybe +1/epic bonus, maybe look at the base class and go from there.

Incorrect. EAB counts as BAB for everything except number of attacks. Due to the 1/2 progression though, martial arcanist isn't good in epic.

How deep into epic are we talking? CL below your HD really sucks when disjunctions and SR are common.

Also, what is your CL? You obviously have 5 levels of AC, so that's 6...

@archer: CL doesn't matter for SR if you are buffing or using SR: no spells. But MDJ is a pain. And you realize that there is no CL check or dispel check, right? All active spells are gone. No rolls. Except for rolls for SR.
