Base Attack Bonus

At what points do characters get more attacks? (In increments like 5, 10, 15)

Also, for low, medium and high attack bonus when do they get attack bonus?

I think high is every level, low is every 2 levels and I don't know what medium is.

BTW if you just have a link to a place that answers this, I'd appreciate it if you posted.

You get another attack at 6, 11, 16, 21, 26 BAB

Low attack bonus: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 (level)
0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 10 (BAB)

see the pattern? Attack bonus = levels/2 rounded down. This is in the manual...

Medium... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 (level)
0 1 2 3 3 4 5 6 6 7 8 9 9 10 11 12 12 13 14 15 (BAB)

In the manual...not sure how to express as an equation.

High Level = BAB

(gamebanshee removed my spaces to line up the BAB and level....you'll have to look at your manual electronic or paper)

Kinda weird how low attack bonus gets a +11 at lvl 20

No, it just plain sucks..

It is well balanced though.. these are exclusive magic casters who shouldn't be doing melee/ranged attack. It also poses a restraint on multi-classing.
