07-16-07, 01:07 PM No. The War Hulk doesn't get any BAB progression. The fact that it gains +2 Strength each level is meant to balance this.

This of course means a character won't gain any further iterative attacks while progressing in the War Hulk class. I suggest taking either 6 or 11 levels in a full-BAB class before starting to take War Hulk levels.

07-16-07, 01:14 PM Custom magic items come in nicely to alieviate this problem. Can we say Gauntlets of Divine Power?

You could also (if you plan to go deep into epic) take 16 levels of a full-BAB class before taking this class.

07-16-07, 01:21 PM Alternatively, avoid custom-made items (especially ones like Items of DIVINE POWER... yeah, good luck getting your DM to agree to that) and instead use a weapon with the +2 "Skillful" weapon enhancement, granting you a minimum of 3/4 bab, as well as auto-proficiency in the weapon.

Or just have 7-8 levels in Cleric before you go into War Hulk, and use Divine Power the old-school way.

Why not?
An useful item of Divine Power will cost him 4 * 4 * 20 * 2000 gold. That's 320,000 gold. For full BAB. It's not that good.

07-16-07, 01:55 PM Skillful weapons give you 3/4 BAB.

That makes my wallet cry.

07-16-07, 02:29 PM There's no errata on the Warhulk's BAB, because it's exactly as it was intended to be.

07-17-07, 01:39 AM The War Hulk is also meant to spin in circles and kill everything around it, not just hit the thing in front of it multiple times. No need for a better BAB.

07-17-07, 01:48 AM I believe base attack bonus is meant to be a measure of your combat ability and skill. Who needs skill when your entire purpose is to bash the things around you as hard as possible?

Kinda sucks when you think about all the feats you can't get, but that's just my opinion.
