Monster Attack bonus

[Recon022]

I am a little confused about Monster Attack Bonuses listed in the Bestiary.

Let's use a goblin for example: In the offense section it says he gets Short Sword +2. The Goblin's BAB is +1.

So do you combine both bonuses when the Goblin Attacks? Or is the BAB included in the +2 bonus for the short sword?

Does that bonus next to a monters's attack include all the bonuses tghe creature gets? So I should judt be using that bonus? Thanks for the help.

The BAB is included in the +2 bonus for the short sword (+1 BAB, +1 size bonus to attack).

Oh, I have been doing it wrong, lol. Well my PC's haven't died or anything because of it, so that is good. Thanks!
