I've been searching through this forum for a while and can find a lot of questions about critical hits, but nothing specific to what I want to know.
I know that when you have a single attack, you confirm at your highest base attack bonus (or the same bonuses as the to-hit for that roll). However, I have yet to find any confirmation (pun intended) that when you have multiple hits in a round whether you confirm at your highest base attack or at the base attack of the hit you did previously.
For example, I have a Ranger-Warpriest who is 15th level. His base attack is currently +13, meaning his to-hit is at least +18 for his favored weapon (including Strength, Weapon Focus, etc.) If he crits on a keen scimitar with each hit, are his confirm rolls all at +18 (the highest base attack bonus +modifiers) or are they +18 for 1st, +13 for 2nd, and +8 for the third?
Thanks in advance for the help!

It's right there in the combat chapter under critical hits;
Critical Hits: When you make an attack roll and get a natural 20 (the d20 shows 20), you hit regardless of your target's Armor Class, and you have scored a "threat," meaning the hit might be a critical hit (or "crit"). To find out if it's a critical hit, you immediately make an attempt to "confirm" the critical hit—another attack roll with all the same modifiers as the attack roll you just made. If the confirmation roll also results in a hit against the target's AC, your original hit is a critical hit. (The critical roll just needs to hit to give you a crit, it doesn't need to come up 20 again.) If the confirmation roll is a miss, then your hit is just a regular hit.
