What should be the fractional BAB of a Dweomerkeeper ?
or a Wearer of purple ?

Many thanks.

09-22-06, 10:13 AM all the WotC-published classes use standard progressions. Look at the BAB given at 3rd level:

+3: you're looking at a good BAB class (+1 per level)
+2: you're looking at a medium BAB class (+3/4 per level)
+1: you're looking at a poor BAB class (+1/2 per level)
+0: you're looking at page 23 of the Miniatures Handbook the only class in the game that does not advance BAB (+0 per level):D

+4=Good BAB
+3=Average BAB
+2=Poor BAB
+0=The most nonsensical class. Ever.

There's also a few classes where there's typos for their BAB, which causes it to look like they have a nonstandard advancement.

edit: The warhulk doesn't need the BAB! it's brutal enough as is.
