The feat states the DC is 10 + the character's BAB.

Does that mean 10 + the "base" BAB only? Or does it include strength, weapon foci, and magic item bonuses?

So for a 20th level fighter, is the DC 10 + JUST 20 (base BAB)?

Or 10 + 20 (base BAB) + strength bonus + magic item bonus + weapon foci?

Thanks in advance.


It means base attack bonus (BAB) only. No modifiers.

BAB is Base Attack Bonus, which doesn't include anything else.

Your Attack bonus is: BAB + str/dex + other modifiers.

So yes, for a 20th lvl fighter, the DC is 10 + 20.

The dangers of message board talk .. The rule says "10 + your base attack bonus", which is the bonus listed on the character's class table (or the total for different classes if he's multiclassed). Nothing else increases this statistic.
