Pretty simple question. Are there anyways to increase BAB besides just leveling up classes.
Or if not, then what about a way to use character level or something as BAB...
1. BAB is a level-based thing, so no.
2. There is no way to fully replace BAB for level - Vanilla Monks can do it with Flurry for attacks, but they still need BAB for feats. Warpriests can use level for BAB to qualify for feats, but they are stuck with 3/4 BAB for attacks.
3. There are ways to skip BAB requirements on feats - namely Monk bonus feats and Combat Style Feats.
Well I am trying to figure out a way to speedily get Fox Shape as a kitsune, as I would have to normally wait till level 5 if I build how I'm planning to.
Yep.
Well then what class with sneak attack (including archetypes) can get BAB +3 the fastest?

Slayer is the only full bab class I can think of that has sneak attack..
Monk of the Mantis Unchained Monk.
Snakebite Striker Brawler.
And I guess just for the sake of completion, Bushwhacker Gunslinger.
Snakebite Striker Brawler gets full BAB and Sneak Attack at level 1, but the rest of the progression is staggered and strange. Also, you lose your feat-gaining option, so don't consider Snakebite Striker if you're going too much further than a dip.
wat
it's one of the highest damage potential builds out there
what do you mean "don't use this"???
Thank you a Vanguard Slayer should work just fine!! ;)
Also could you retrain a feat and place the changed feat on your familiar using the Beast-Bonded Witch Archetype
Keep in mind that as a Kitsune, most of their feats (minus Magical Tail) have this clause:
Special: A kitsune may select this feat any time she would gain a feat.
Which means you can take it in place of a Fighter Bonus Combat Feat, Monk Bonus Feat, Sorcerer Bloodline Feat, Wizard Bonus Feat, (possibly) Cavalier Tactician, etc.
Keep that in mind if it helps (as for instance at 4 when you would have +3 BAB on a Rogue/Ninja, you can take Combat Trick and take this).

I wasn't sure about it with Combat Trick so thank you. However my build is kinda of strange, and relies alot on teamwork feats more specifically ones that use flanking. But one of the key parts is making sure I am a fox. I'll post the build later when I finish it.
Also not sure if it will be as strong as I hope, but boy will it be fun.
I think I know what you are trying to do. Be a fox and have a fox familiar and flank with it?

Yes basically. Using feats to let me flank as small creatures. Then later get more feats to help with it. Also since 2 tiny creatures me and my fox can be in same space if I am correct.
You do know your familiar won't be able to get feats unless you are an eldritch guardian fighter right? In which case, you might just stick to eldritch guardian honestly.

Don't forget about Beast-Bonded Witch.
Which honestly isn't all that great. Feats you give your familiar for flanking are feats you don't have for flanking. And considering its when you gain a feat, and you can't take the same feat twice unless is says so....
As well as a way using vanguard slayer. Though would it be truly taking the feat twice if its your familiar getting it?
