<p>There are no dedicated spell casting classes. They are meant to be supplemented with weapons. Build with that in mind.</p>To summarize what others have been saying..

<p>I would like to know (although I can imagine the answer) what is the BAB for Magic Attacks and the ability that is used.</p>
<p>If we use the normal BAB + DEX the bonus is so low that is almost impossible to hit any target, specially at higher levels when you almost dont get any improvement and the enemies get a much higher armour class.</p>
<p>I started to think that I'm doing something wrong with it, so I prefered to clarify it with you, guys.</p>
<p>Does any of you used any other method to calculate the bonus to the Megic Attacks? like "Caster Level + Intelligence/Wisdom"</p>
