Attack sequence

Attack Sequence
An attack sequence is a chain of attack animations that depends on your character's Base Attack Bonus, fighting style, and whether you are stationary or moving. A higher BAB also increases the speed of the attack sequence.

The following tables give the attack bonuses for each animation in an attack chain. Your character cycles through this chain as long as your attacks occur continuously. Pausing too long between attacks breaks the chain and forces you to start from the first animation on your next attack.

Moving
The following table assumes you have the Spring Attack feat, otherwise you get a -4 to-hit penalty while moving.

Two-handed fighting
Fighting with any two-handed weapon grants glancing blows at certain points in the attack chain, represented below by numbers between parentheses. The attack bonus for the glancing blows depends on your character's two-handed fighting style support feats. Three bonuses are listed, in the order (no feat/Two-Handed Fighting/Improved Two-Handed Fighting). Use only the one bonus that matters.

In red, bonuses for extra glancing blows that are granted only when the Greater Two Handed Fighting feat is acquired.

In red, bonuses for extra glancing blows that are granted only when the Greater Two Handed Fighting feat is acquired.

Two weapon fighting
Note that the following tables assume:
 * you have the Two Weapon Fighting feat (otherwise, subtract 2 from your main hand bonus and 6 from your off-hand bonus)
 * you have a light weapon in your off-hand OR have the Oversized Two-Weapon Fighting feat (otherwise, subtract 2 from each attack bonus)

In the tables below, if a single number is listed in a given animation, only a main hand attack is performed. If two numbers are listed then two attacks are performed in the same animation, the first one being with the main hand and the second one with the off-hand. If three numbers are listed then three attacks are performed in the same animation, the first one being with the main hand, second one being off-hand, and the third one being extra main hand.

In red, bonuses for extra attacks that are granted only when the Improved Two Weapon Fighting feat is acquired.

In blue, bonuses for extra attacks that are granted only when the Greater Two Weapon Fighting feat is acquired.

In orange, bonuses for extra attacks that are granted by Ranger Tempest III. (If you have this Enhancement, also add 2 to all attack bonuses.)
