Dec 27, 2015 at 17:17 comment added Bobson @KRyan - I was abbreviating a bit more than I probably should have. See any monster with two separate weapons, like the Balor: +1 vorpal longsword +31/+26/+21/+16 melee (2d6+13/19-20) and +1 flaming whip +30/+25 melee (1d4+6 plus 1d6 fire plus entangle) could be abbreviated (in this BAB/attack-bonus specific context) as +31/+26/+21/+16 & +30/+2
Dec 27, 2015 at 16:34 comment added KRyan @Bobson [Citation Needed] I have never seen that latter format.
Dec 27, 2015 at 16:30 comment added Bobson @fectin - I've seen both, unofficially, but official books either list +4/+4/-1 or +4/-1 & +4, depending on how the damage is broken out.
Dec 21, 2015 at 17:50 comment added KRyan @fectin I have never seen it presented in any order but descending order. For iteratives (not necessarily bonus attacks), the rules in fact require descending order.
Dec 21, 2015 at 17:44 comment added fectin I find it easier to parse when the attack sequence is presented as one hand, then the other ("+4/-1/+4"). Is there a consensus that one presentation is cleaner than the other?
