11-02-07, 12:23 AM yes, that is assumed. in fact, technically they don't have to print the iterative attacks into the attack bonus table of the base classes. its in the rules where you get your iterative attacks.

One more question, are "iterative" attacks based off of your base attack bonus or on your classes' base attack bonuses?

I.E: I have a base attack bonus of +6 from... Fighter 3/Barbarian 3, just for an example, do I get another attack?

If so, I think it's a pain that the tables include iterative attacks! XD

11-02-07, 12:28 PM your iterative attacks are based on your full attack bonus, that's why prestiege classes don't show iterative attacks, because your BAB could be anything when entering the class.

So a barb 3/fighter 3 would have a BAB of 6/1. Realisticly, i agree that they shouldnt show iteratives on the base classes.

11-02-07, 12:30 PM Ha, that was part of the reason I thought base classes were silly, seeing as I could have a Fighter with 20/5 for his total base attack bonus. Fortunately, I was wrong. :)

Thanks for the help, guys!
