Does the winter witch prc stack with witch for calculating bab?

Quote:

Winter Witchcraft:

Levels of the winter witch prestige class stack with witch levels for determining when she learns new hexes, the effect of her hexes and other witch class abilities (including archetype abilities), the abilities of her witch's familiar, and the level at which she can select major hexes or grand hexes.

Does bab count as a class ability for this?

BAB doesn't actually matter here.

Prestige Classes as a whole stack with whatever classes you originally have for the purposes of stacking BAB and saves.

[Darrell Impey UK]

The prestige class grants its own BAB progression, which is added to whatever BAB you had previously. Same as with all prestige classes.

I know BAB from two classes stack, the question was more whether you'd calculate it as the bab of a (say) lvl 10 witch or a lvl 5 witch and a lvl 5 winter witch.

[vhok]

it would be 5winter witch and 5 witch. not 10 of the base class

[Greeeit]

Aw well, worth a shot

They stack the way that you want to if you're using the optional Fractional Bonuses system (which our group had been using even before it was introduced in Unchained.)

[Drahliana Moonrunner]

It stacks the same way any other multi-classing would. In this case that would be a +2 plus a +2 for a total of +4 BAB.

No one ever said that this would be the foundation of a combat build.

[Greeeit]

Aww =/
But I was basing my whole campaign build on that +1, what am I ever going to do now?

[wraithstrike]

Why does the +1 matter that much?
Do you need it to qualify for a feat?

[Rub-Eta]

Unless you're in PFS, make your group use the Fractional Bonuses system, as suggested by Gulthor (it results in no BAB loss).

[Greeeit]

I really need to remember that sarcasm doesn't translate well through written language.

It really doesn't matter though, I honestly started the thread because I had a derp moment thinking the witch had 3/4 BAB progression, and when I plugged it into an auto character sheet I thought I'd lost a +2 or +3.
