The BAB count starts off at "0" again, and counts back up, but may not get to the multiple attacks per round stage of +6/+1. Is there a general rule that once a PC gets +6, they also get an additional attack according to the original class? Otherwise, I'm looking at a prestige class'ed PC that has only one +13 attack at 18th Level overall. And what happens if I go back to the original class and the next level BAB is +10/+5? Does my +13 become a +14/+5? This prestige class does let me gain levels in the original class, but not the BAB, Saves, etc.

From the 3.5e SRD ( http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/35/sovelior_sage/classes.html ) under Multiclassing: "Base Attack Bonus: Add the base attack bonuses acquired for each class to get the character’s base attack bonus. A resulting value of +6 or higher provides the character with multiple attacks." Determine your extra attacks based off your first (highest) BAB. Let's take a level 5 Fighter, with a BAB of +5. He multiclasses into Cleric. As a 5 fighter/1 cleric he has one attack at a BAB of +5. He takes another level of cleric, he now has attacks at +6/+1. Let's say he adds on five more levels of fighter (making him a level 10 fighter/ level 2 cleric). He now has attacks at +11/+6/+1 So a character with +14 as his BAB (as in your question) would have attacks at: +14/+9/+4
