Confirmation on Size Bonuses to AC and BaB for Tiny form, from Beast Shape II.


Rules Questions


Okay, when you take the form of a tiny animal with beast shape.

You get a +4 Size Bonus to Dexterity, that's a +2 to your AC.

Now... do you get that in addition to the +2 Tiny Size bonus to AC, and the +2 to Base Attack Bonus?

or do not get the tiny size bonuses, and just the +4 to Dex size bonus.

Or do you get the +4 Dex, and +2 to BaB?

Reference Beast Shape II

Reference Size and AC of objects, (I assume it's the same for creatures)

If a polymorph spell causes you to change size, apply the size modifiers appropriately, changing your armor class, attack bonus, Combat Maneuver Bonus, and Stealth skill modifiers. Your ability scores are not modified by this change unless noted by the spell.

So I'm guessing that my post was correct.

You'd add the +4 Dex size bonus, the +2 AC bonus, and the +2 to BaB.

Almost. You get +2 to hit, but it's not a bonus to BAB. If you have a +4 BAB, you don't get an iterative attack.

Thank you.

I knew this, I just kept calling it BaB for some reason >< To hit -smacks self-.
