12-25-07, 01:57 AM Epic characters do not get additional BAB correct?

If a character has a an ECL of +4 and 17 levels, does that make him epic? If so, does he stop getting BAB at that point?

When is a monster character considered epic level? Do you “go epic” when your total class levels equal 20 or when your total Hit Dice equal 20? Is a monster character eligible for epic-level feats (such as Epic Toughness) when its character level is 21+ or when its ECL is 21+?

A monster becomes an epic-level character when its character level hits 21, just like any other character. A monster’s character level equals its racial Hit Dice + class levels. (See the second sidebar on page 25 of the Epic Level
Handbook.)

A creature’s ECL has no effect on when it becomes an epic character, although once it becomes an epic character, its ECL continues to affect how much experience it earns and when it can add a new level.

So yes, it is epic, but it starts using epic bab progression when it has 21 or more class lvs.:)

12-26-07, 06:59 PM you gain epic base attack bonus modifiers, +1 at every odd level. hwoever, ou gain no extra attacks due to BaB after 20th level.

Epic attack bonus counts toward the PrC BAB requirements. It also counts for use in Power Attack and other BAB related functions within the rules. Plus, certain monsters can meet the BAB requirement by having more than 20 hit dice, notable outsiders and dragons. A Solar needs 2 Paladin levels (for Smite Evil) to qualify for Divine Emissary, for instance. +22BAB, +1EAB, Great Smiting taken at 24 hit dice.
