[edit] Number of attacks
So there's absolutely no way for a wizard to get four attacks per round, even at 80th level? Maybe I've missed it, but I don't believe I've seen a line that says "your maximum number of attacks per round is four", but I have seen that your number of attacks doesn't increase past what you gain due to your BAB... IMO something they should have put in, but if they didn't I suppose it's probably for good reason. Armond 14:43, 12 April 2007 (MDT)
- Don't think so — not with BAB alone anyway. --Green Dragon 20:42, 12 April 2007 (MDT)
- That's how it works. A wizard 20/fighter 20 gets only two attacks due to BAB (+10 BAB, +10 EAB), but a fighter 20/wizard 20 gets all four (+20 BAB, +10 EAB). The former, however, may have more (and higher) spell slots because she was able to start taking Improved Spell Capacity sooner. —Sledged (talk) 20:57, 12 April 2007 (MDT)
- When you put it that way, it makes sense, but I still kinda don't like it... Well, that's just me, and my opinion is nothing in the face of balance. Armond 01:25, 13 April 2007 (MDT)
- The good news is that you can just convince your DM to use different, more intelligent rules. :D Armond 10:30, 13 April 2007 (MDT)
- Or just invest some of your huge number of skill points into UMD and get a wand of divine power. There. Now you have the same BAB as a fighter. Of course... If divine power actually works as it is written, your BAB is now equal to your character level (which is impossible otherwise). Epic levels are all about interpretation. --Aarnott 11:25, 13 April 2007 (MDT)
- Actually, that's not the only way to increase your BAB at epic levels. Racial HD are not limited by the BAB cap (or the BSB caps). If you look at all the 21+ HD monsters that lack class levels, you'll note their BAB still goes by type (or augmented subtype). So if you're a 20th-level character and you become an infected legendary weretiger, you're BAB will increase instead of your EAB. —Sledged (talk) 11:48, 13 April 2007 (MDT)
- So long as the rule about four attacks is in place, BAB shouldn't be *that* huge a worry. Hopefully. Then again, a fighter could really use the extra 10 to his attack bonus... though by level 40 a margin of 10 either way probably isn't too bad... Armond 14:27, 13 April 2007 (MDT)
