I just have a quick question about how many attacks you get. How many levels does it take in one class to get another attack per round. I want to know because for some reason, whenever I multiclass I don't get an extra attack per round, Ever...
Can someone please enlighten me on this, I'm thinking about starting up a game again, it's just been a while since I've played.

The number of attacks per round depends on BAB like you can see in the tables in the manual.
1 attack at BAB 0-5
2 attacks at BAB 6-10
3 attacks at BAB 11-15
4 attacks at BAB 16+
Warriors get +1 BAB every level.
Sorcerers/mages get +1 BAB at level 2,4,6,8,...
The rest gets +1 BAB at level 2,3,4,6,7,8,10,11,12,14,...
For multiclasses the BAB bonuses from the different classes are added together.
A fighter5/monk4/cleric4 gets 5+3+3 = 11 BAB and therefore 3 attacks per round for example.

Wait, I have another quick question. I have a monk that is lvl 5. And he still has 1 attack per round. Why doesn't he have 2 or even 3 attacks yet. Thanks again, if anybody can answer this for me.

old post, but minor correction, in IWD2, you can get more than 4 attacks by having sufficiently high BAB (21+), even though that's technically probably not kosher by strict 3e rules. You can't get more than that, though; that's a strict restriction enforced by the game engine. (This means that if you dual-wield, you'll only ever get a maximum of 4 attacks with your main hand since 1 attack always comes from your off hand, even if you have a sufficiently high enough BAB)
if you play on HoF, every class other than a mage/sorceror will be able to get 5 attacks/round by the time they hit level 30 (though multiclassing will obviously make this more complicated).
