    [​IMG] I'm planning to play solo game, monk/x. For testing purpose edited character with DaleKEeper, giving some exp. After that, in vanilla game, got 30 monk levels. My BAB become: +22/17/12/7 - four attacks/round intead of five suggested in manual. Tried getting 29 levels of fighter instead - again, got only 4 attacks/round.
    Is it a bug, or I missing something?

    It's probably a misprint in the manual instead of a bug in the game...there seems to be no shortage of misinformation in the manual. I have a 28th level monk in one of my saved files and he gets 4 attacks per round armed or unarmed. Even 30th level fighters will not get 5 attacks per round.

    Don't trust DK2 completely when testing game mechanics. I used it to test the spell resistance of a 30th level dark elf monk and found that the character would have an 81 spell resistance at the 30th level. Then, during standard gameplay and leveling, the same character reached a max spell resistance of 50.

    I heard somewhere a long time ago that the maximum number of attacks in IWD2 is four normally and 5 with haste. Not sure from where I heard it but might be worth testing.
