: By taking this Combat Tactic, the Fighter permanently alters how their attacks are calculated.  Whenever they declare a full attack action and then makes multiple attacks, the first attack with each hand is made at a -5 penalty, the second is taken as normal, the third attack receives a +2 bonus to hit, and the fourth attack receives a +7 bonus to hit.  Thus, if normal attacks were calculated as: +25, +20, +15, +10, after the fighter takes Vivisector, they become +20, +20, +17, +17.  All subsequent modifications to any attack rolls made during a full attack are made using these adjusted numbers as the fighter's base to-hit numbers.  If the fighter is ever granted an additional attack during a full attack, as by a haste spell, speed weapon, or any other effect, the additional attack is made at their full, unmodified BAB.  All other attacks, such as standard attacks, attacks of opportunity, attacks granted by feats, attacks granted by class features, attacks granted by spells or effects, etc, are unaffected by this tactic, and thus use the fighter's normal calculated to-hit.
