Issmortor 02-15-05, 12:03 AM	im confused on the following: if i have a level 7 fighter he gets BAB of 7/2...does this mean he can attack twice in one round? the first with BAB of 7 and the second with a BAB of 2? or does it have somthing to do with wielding weapons? anything that can be said to clarify this will be most appreciated thanks ~iss P.S.- and what would the Hp be for a +2 Large Steel Shield?
Draco Strang 02-15-05, 12:12 AM	Yes. The first attack is at a +7, and the second attack is at a +2. Don't forget to add in his str modifier, any feats, and any magical items that increase his attributes to influence attack and damage. BAB doesn't affect damage though. Rule of thumb is, whenever you hit the number just past one that's evenly divisible by 5, you get a second attack. So, when your BAB is +6, you get a /+1 tacked on, thus granting you an extra attack when you take a full attack action. The most you can have is 4 attacks a round. Unless you have TWF, Rapid Shot, Flurry of Blows, a weapon with the speed enhancement, a haste spell in effect, or any other of a multitude of conditions. Then you get more. That happens when you hit +16/+11/+6/+1. Does this help?

Issmortor 02-15-05, 12:16 AM	so i only get both attacks on a Full Attack?, still not bad at all, thanks alot you guys
