AMIA ARCHIVE • View topic - BAB bug

Hello,

Not sure if I should post this here by here goes.

I noticed today that I don't have the 4apr that I should have on my character Opal but only 3 apr.

I am a 5 druid / 11 shifter / 5 champion of torm. (5-10-5 pre-epic)
According to NWNwiki druid and shifter are 3/4 BAB classes and CoT is a full bab class.
15 levels of 3/4bab and 5 levels of full bab should net me 16bab and grant me 4 attacks per round. Yet I only have 3 attacks per round.

Has the BAB progression changed on Amia on druid or shifter or am I bugged?

Thank you for reading and best regards, Mr Lala

What does your BAB read on your character sheet?

5 Druid -> +3 BAB
10 Shifter -> +7 BAB
5 COT -> +5 BAB
--------------------
Ka-ching 15 BAB, not 16.

Thats NWN default btw. (and not a bug, but just how BAB works)

Yeah. Thing is nwn counts BAB per class.

So for example you have 5 Druid which will net you 3 BAB and an extra 3/4 BAB.

If you have 5 Shifter it will net you 3 BAB and an extra 3/4 BAB. The 'extra' BAB cant stack with the 'extra' BAB of another class. So you would have 4 BAB with 6 Shifter compared to 3 BAB with 5 Shifter 1 Druid.

Blame bioware!

Thanks for the swift reply! I guess I'll just wallow in self-pity when I see people with 4 attacks per round... Stoopid bioware!

This is one of the funky things about building in NWN, the -order- you take classes matters, a lot more then one might expect.

Consider getting one more CoT level pre-epic for that 4th attack. If you wanted more then 6 CoT, I'd take them all pre-epic just for the higher AB. On my Dwarven Defender Shifter, I ended up having a huge hassle leveling due to needing to put all my shifter levels off till epic, just for max AB. But it ends up being well worth it.

Closing this since it's not a bug
