Order of attacks from BAB


Rules Questions


So long as it is clear to everyone at the table which attack is which, is there anything saying that I can't roll my "low" attack first?

So, I have attacks at +6/+1. Can I make the attack at the +1 bonus first and then proceed to the attack at +6? Or must it be done in that order.

In the case of extra attack (haste, blessing of fervor, etc) can I choose the order I like? Perhaps Low/High/Haste? or even High/Low/Haste?

From the combat chapter, you must always make your highest BAB attacks first note this ruling only applies to attacks granted from BAB, haste and blessing however are not covered by the below ruling hence you may make those at any point during your turn.

"Full Attack

If you get more than one attack per round because your base attack bonus is high enough (see Base Attack Bonus in Classes), because you fight with two weapons or a double weapon, or for some special reason, you must use a full-round action to get your additional attacks. You do not need to specify the targets of your attacks ahead of time. You can see how the earlier attacks turn out before assigning the later ones.

The only movement you can take during a full attack is a 5-foot step. You may take the step before, after, or between your attacks.

If you get multiple attacks because your base attack bonus is high enough, you must make the attacks in order from highest bonus to lowest. If you are using two weapons, you can strike with either weapon first. If you are using a double weapon, you can strike with either part of the weapon first."
