base attack question????

[the great mytic]

Ok can anyone hlp me out me nd my friend r confused on somethng. If ur a character tht is multiclassed into to classes whn u get ur second attack in one class bt not the other u jst use the classes base att for the second att or do u use the other classes first attck added on to the second att of the other for example if one class is +6/+1 nd the other is +1 wld ur att look lik this : +7/+2 or +7/+1 I say the second one makes since u dnt hv an second att yet in tht class so it doesnt add to the second att only the first am I rite or wrng?

The 7/2 is correct you only add the base abd subtract 5 for each itinerary

You have misunderstood the entire concept.

Nobody gets an extra attack from a class. They only get it from their BAB, and the extra attack always comes from having more than BAB 5 (and more than 10 and more than 15).

All you need is high enough BAB.

Your attacks always loook like this: X/X-5/X-10/X-15 where X is your total BAB from all your classes. Your second attack always comes at X-5 so as soon as that is a number grater than zero (when X = 6) you get your second iterative attack. And when X-10 is greater than zero (when X = 11) you get your third iterative attack. And when X-15 is greater than zero (when X = 16) you get your fourth iterative attack.

So, for example, if a 6th level character has 3 levels of fighter and 3 levels of barbarian, he now has a BAB of 6, that means he is +6/+1, even though he does not have enough levels in either class for an extra attack.
