Hey everyone, I am fairly confident I am missing something, but the astral construct attacks are puzzling me.

1ST-LEVEL ASTRAL CONSTRUCT

Small Construct
Hit Dice: 1d10+10 (15 hp)
Initiative: +2
Speed: 30 ft. (6 squares)
Armor Class: 18 (+2 Dex, +5 natural, +1 size), touch 13, flatfooted 16
Base Attack/Grapple: +2/–1
Attack: Slam +3 melee (1d4+3)
Full Attack: Slam +3 melee (1d4+3)
Space/Reach: 5 ft./5 ft.
Special Attacks: —
Special Qualities: One ability from Menu A, construct traits, darkvision 60 ft., low-light vision
Saves: Fort +0, Ref +2, Will +0
Abilities: Str 15, Dex 15, Con —, Int —, Wis 11, Cha 10


I calculate this as BAB+Size Mod.+Str Mod., so 2+1+2 = 5. So it seems like we lost something somewhere... But where?

Please tell me what I am missing - so I can kick myself.

BAB for 1HD constructs is +0 as far as I recall (same as cleric). So it's the BAB line that is wrong.

Level 1 Astral Constructs get +3 to their Slam attacks: +0 BAB, +2 str, +1 size.

Yup, the BAB line is wrong. The SRD has it corrected, but doesn't have the size bonus calculated in.
