A quick and easy one I'm sure.
Several prestige classes have BAB requirments. For example +7 in the case of Stalwart Defender. Does this mean that, for example as a cleric I have to wait until level 10 (BAB 7/2) to be able to become a Stalwart Defender or am I capable of it at 8 (BAB 6/1).
At what point to I meet the prerequisites of prestige classes, when my total BAB is +7 or when I have a single attack at +7?
Please if you can cite refrences as I'd very much like to read up on it :)
EDIT: For spelling

Your Base Attack Bonus is just that - the base. A level 10 cleric has a BAB of 7. The (2) is an additional attack granted when taking a full attack and is not a part of the base.
Base Attack Bonus (BAB): Each creature has a base attack bonus and it represents its skill in combat. As a character gains levels or Hit Dice, his base attack bonus improves. When a creature's base attack bonus reaches +6, +11, or +16, he receives an additional attack in combat when he takes a full-attack action (which is one type of full-round action—see Combat).
So you will have to wait until after 10th level to be a Stalwart Defender Cleric.
