If a level 1 fighter gets a +1 base attack bonus, does a level 2 fighter , who gets +2, would the fighters bas attack bonus be 3? and what's with table 3-1 on page 22 of the player's handbook? I need help!!!!!

I need help!!!!! Alright we have a fighter level 1 His stats are . Str 16 +3 Modifier Dex 12 +1 Modifer Con 14 +2 Modifer Int 10 0 Modifer Wis 8 -1 Modifer Cha 8 -1 Modifer His Base saves at 1st level are as follow Fort +2, Ref +0, Will +0 Now we add in the ability Modifer and his Saves are actually Fort +4 = (Base +2) + (Con Ability Modifer +2) Ref +1 = (Base +0) + (Dex Ability Modifer +1) Will -1 = (Base +0) + (Wis Ability Modifer -1) His Base Attack Bonus at 1st level are as follows +1 Attack Bonus with Str added would be Melee +4 = (Base attack bonus +1) + (Str Ability Modifer +3) Range +2 = (Base attack bonus +1) + (Dex Ability Modifer +1) Now our fighter has leveled up and he is now a 2nd level fighter. He gets +1 to his Base attack bonus, and a +1 to his fort save Fort +5 = (Base +3) + (Con Ability Modifer +2) Ref, and Will remain unchanged. His Base Attack would look like this since he now has a +2 Melee +5 = (Base attack bonus +2) + (Str Ability Modifer +3) Range +3 = (Base attack bonus +2) + (Dex Ability Modifer +1) Hope this helps
