* a character with only a single class, with this BAB progression, gains an additional attack at this point.
This Table is bases on the Class Level, NOT the Character or Race Level.

CALCULATION: # of attacks = ( +BAB/5 ) Rounded up.


[edit] Multi-Class Progression

IF you have More than one Class the BAB adds/stack up differently; Especially with different Progression Level of the Class.
Each job or Class has a Different Level on their Base Attack Bonus (BAB) and Base Save Bonus (BSB).

Base Attack Bonus (BAB) have three (3) levels ...
  1. HIGH
  2. Medium
  3. low

Hence, the three sub-columns in the Table.

Base Save Bonus (BSB) however, have only two (2) levels ...
  1. HIGH
  2. low



e.g. Excluding Special Abilities of the Class like 'Flurry of Blows'
Class: MONK → Level = 12

Base Attack Bonus (BAB) progression = MEDIUM
Saving Throws:
HIGH = Fortitude, Reflex, Will

Class: Sacred Fist → Level = 3

Base Attack Bonus (BAB) progression = HIGH
Saving Throws:
HIGH = Fortitude, Reflex
LOW = Will

Let's say your Character Level is Level 12 and a PURE Monk Class (means from Level 1-12 your ALL Monk, no other Class mixed).
According to the Chart a Monk Class has a Base attack bonus (BAB) progression of MEDIUM.
Looking from the Table under the Medium Column gong down 12 Levels; we see that it has a +9 BAB.

You decide then to Choose a Sacred Fist Class as your 13th Level advancement up to Level 14
Sacred fist Class WILL start at Class Level 1 @ 13th Level Character advancement and end up a Class Level 2 @ 14th Level Character advancement.
According to the Chart a Sacred Fist Class has a Base attack bonus (BAB) progression of HIGH.
Looking from the Table under the High Column at Level 2; we see that it has a +2 BAB.

So, your Total Base attack bonus (BAB) = +9 from the Medium Class & +2 from the High Class is +11 @ Character Level 14.

At this Point, you Already have three (3) attacks per round @ Character Level 14; where as IF you stuck with your Medium Class you'll still have two (2) attacks per round @ Character Level 14.

———————————————————————————————————————————
Same Mechanics works with Saving Throws but uses the Base Save Bonus (BSB).

So for a Saving throw of WILL:
Monk = HIGH @ Class level 12 → +8 (BSB)
Sacred fist = LOW @ Class level 2 → +0 (BSB)
Character Level 14 → Total of +8 (BSB).
