To Hit bonus

[DME543]

A noob question:
My character is a 5/1 Pally/Rogue. While using a two handed weapon (GA) and standing totally still my to hit bonus ranges b/t +14 and +24. Why does it fluctuate? Is it because of the different attacks/swings or the progression of swings? Was this changed in the recent patch everyone is *****ing about :D or has it always fluctuated?

Thanks

As you attack you bonus does change. Your first attack will be the lowest with you last attack being the highest. This is because you gain extra attacks based you your Base Attack Bonus (BAB). In the origional rules you received an extra attack at every multiple of 5 BAB (5, 10, 15, etc). So you attacks would have a bonus of the same.

What they changed is that now you get you attacks differently than origionally.

If you'd like to get an idea of how it works look here (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/combatStatistics.htm#attackBonus)

This is only how your BAB works since they have changed how it affects the number of attacks.

Why do the numbers fluctuate when standing still and not attacking?

The attacks are occuring without moving.
