How does the BAB on them work? Like if I take leopard form with a BAB of 6. That be 4 attacks on a full action, bite, claw claw plus the extra one for 6 BAB. Would a form like that be effected by Multi attack penalties, or how would it work? ANd if multi attacks get a penalty wich feat would be used?

Leopards, generally, use natural weapons.

With natural weapons, you do not get bonus attacks for a high BAB. A druid wildshaped into a leopard gets one bite as an attack, or on a full attack 1 bite and 2 claws (at -5). This is true regardless of the druid’s BAB.

When you turn into an Animal that Animal has a Primary attack Any other natural attack forms the form posses are its secondary attacks which have a -5

So your leapord would be

Bite +6
2 claws +1

Thanks, I was curious about such things, is there any feats or such that a druid or such could take for natural weapons to improve them in animal form?

If your Dm allows it in the MM there is Improved Natural Attack which increases the damage Die of a particular attack form. so d8 bite becomes 2d6. Although i honestly do not know if Druids qualify for the feat given they do not have natural attacks all the time and having the Feat boost say the Bite of any form you change into might be too strong.

Multiattack and Improved multiattack from the MM are also good for multiple natural attack forms (reduce the secondary weapon penalties first to -2 then 0)
