6th level base attack bonus


Rules Questions


A few questions on this. Sorry if this has been covered before.

6th level BAB is +6/+1, does the +1 grant a second attack to a PC +1(+ all other normal mods; i.e. abilities; magic weps etc.)?

If so, does using two-wep fighting figure to be 4 total attacks w/ normal added modifiers?

Also the Feat Rapid Shot grant a 3rd attack at +1 w/ normal added modifiers?


Yes

No, TWF gives one extra attack. To get more off hand attacks, you have to take Improved/Greater TWF.

No, it grants a 3rd attack at +6 w/normal modifiers and all attacks take -2 penalty


Yes, the /+1 grants you a second attack at -5 to hit but only as a full attack action. You only ever get one attack as a standard action (barring other special abilities)

Two weapon fighting only grants you a single additional attack. you need improved (and greater) 2 weapon fighting to gain a 2nd (and 3rd) off hand attack.

With rapid shot you do indeed get three attacks, but the extra attack is at your highest BAB and all are at -2 (so +4/+4/-1 plus all other modifiers).

I missed spoke here I meant 3 attacks(MH/OH/MH) not 4. So the -5 is calculated into the +1.

The -2 across all shots for Rapid Fire.

Awesome thanks!!!


When your BAB reaches +6/+1 here are the breakdowns:

(Assuming a 16 Str (+3 bonus) on melee attacks and 16 Dex on ranged, no other modifiers for simplicity).

One weapon only:
You have two attacks, the first is +9 (6+3) and the second is +4 (1+3).

Two-Weapon Fighting Feat (Assuming off-hand weapon is light):
You will have three attacks with the following bonuses: +7 (6+3-2, main weapon), +7 (6+3-2, off-hand weapon), and +2 (1+3-2, main weapon).

If you also have the Improved Two Weapon fighting feat, you will get that fourth attack which comes from your off-hand weapon at a +2 bonus as well.

Rapid shot will be similar to the two-weapon fighting feat as you will have two attacks at +7 (6+3-2), and a third attack at +2 (1+3-2).

Hope that helps break it down easier.

IMPOSTER!!!!!

Just kidding.

Yes the +1 of a +6/+1 BAB grants a second attack.

If Two-Weapon fightin you will get three attacks at +6/+6/+1 with all of the appropriate modifiers for twf, feats, abilities, etc...

Yes Rapid shot gives you 3rd attack with all of the appropriate modifiers.
