hi all. i am really stupid, i cannot understand the epic base attack and similar if i play a monster race.

For example i have to create a 30 lv warforged charger monster manual III and other eberron book...
this have 4construct dice and a +4 modifier, now my BAB is:

+3 construct +20 warrior? and after the epic progression
or
+3 construct +16 warrior? and after the epic progression

i hope someone could understand me...

As soon as you hit 21 HD, you start using epic progression. It's the second one.

If I understand right, you have 4 construct HD, and 30 fighter-type hit dice, granting +3 BAB from the construct HD, as you noted. You then get +16 from the next 16 fighter-type HD, so +19 BAB a 20th level. For the other 14 levels, you get +1 every odd level, so you get a +7 EAB. That gives you 4 attacks per round, and basically +26 attack bonus at 34th level.

Same goes for saves. You get normal saves for your 4 construct HD, and 16 class levels, and then +1 every even level after that, for +7 more total ESB.

However, please note that monsters with more than 21 HD do not use epic BAB progressions. Eic BAB only seems to apply when class levels are involved. The Big T has 48 HD and a BAB of 48, for example.
